We had a fantastic experience on our day trip to Imlil! Our driver, Ismail, was incredibly kind and attentive, making the journey smooth and enjoyable. Our guide, Mustapha, was equally wonderful—fun, knowledgeable, and full of great surprises. Even though the weather was a bit challenging, the entire crew went out of their way to ensure our hike was both safe and entertaining. This trip is worth every penny and 100% recommended for anyone booking through this company!

Our hike through the Atlas Mountains was easily the absolute highlight of my entire time in Morocco! The scenery was breathtaking, and the lunch provided was delicious with an unbeatable view. What truly made the day, however, was our guide, Mehdi. He was simply the best—kind, incredibly knowledgeable, and attentive to every single person in the group. If you’re visiting Morocco, don’t miss out on this.

A huge thank you to Mustapha for an incredible experience in the Atlas Mountains! It’s clear he knows these mountains inside and out—he took us to all the best ‘hidden gems’ and ‘hot spots’ that most tourists miss. His knowledge is extensive, and he explained the local history and geography thoroughly. The trip far exceeded our expectations and offered 10/10 value for money.
