What a wonderful family (2 boys 5y and 8y) day with Omar to the Atlas mountains!
It was such a pleasure to spend this day with you. Thank you for this unforgettable experience! Antoine and Guillaume don't stop talking about you and the day we had together.
Thank you for your generosity all along the experience and what we have shared, the very interessing conversations on the various Moroccan topics, the comfortable and safe ride in your car, the fun and beautiful mountain hiking, landscapes and fabulous views with your friend Abdul, the interesting stops along the road, the incredible tasty tajine at your berber friends in the mountain village with an amazing view... And so much more.
À special thanks from Guillaume for having been so much of attention and care for him to avoid him feeling sick in the car.
Once again, our home in Brussels is open for you if you would come by one day.
I strongly recommend Omar for any trip you would like to do around the Marrakech region.
I will contact you when we come back to Morocco to discover so much more.
Take care and see you. Wonderful Atlas Mountains family day

Omar took on a day long walking tour of Marrakech. He's warm and engaging and really knows his stuff. We got a real insight into the history and culture of his fascinating City. We met some great characters along the way and he took us to places we'd never have found on our own.
All in all a terrific guide who really made our trip to Marrakech.Great day with Omar

We really enjoyed our 5 tastings evening with Omar. He is an easy going, charming young man who we liked a lot! And his English is so good! We also liked that he took us tasting stuff that wasn't obvious and really enjoyed his selection and advise. For our teenage son it was also fun with a guide that was a bit closer in age than his parents. We can highly recommend Omar if you want to get to know Marrakech from a different angle than you would have on your own.Great fun with charming Omar

Omar could not make our booking and sent Rachid instead. Unfortunately Rachid’s driving was not relaxing at all as he felt the need to drive right up to the back of every car in front of us, and overtake when questionable space.
The walk and lunch in the mountains with Omar the guide was excellent and so we thoroughly enjoyed being in the Atlas Mountains.
I would recommend the trip but cannot comment on Omar. Omar unavailable

We had a wonderful introduction to Marrakech with Omar. He's very kind, knowledgeable, and happily answered all of our questions. He was wonderful with our 10 year old and made sure she was also enjoying the experience and learning things. His tour is a really good mix of making sure we saw the things that "tourists should see" as well as taking us off the beaten path. We saw areas of the Medina that we never would have found on our own (and probably couldn't find again if we tried!) We would definitely book another tour with Omar if we find ourselves back in Marrakech. Fabulous Tour in Marrakech

Omar was a fantastic guide around Marrakech.
He gave us a tour of his city on our first evening and it was the perfect introduction to the incredible sights and sounds of a unique place.
Not one who usually relishes walking, our five year old son also loved the tour, and Omar was brilliant with him, keeping him entertained throughout.
We were treated to some of Omar’s favourite local spots, and his insights gave us the perfect start to a wonderful holiday in Marrakech - we couldn’t recommend him highly enough.

Omar war ein super Guide. Er kam extra für uns auch etwas eher, da es schon später am Abend war. Die Kommunikation im Vorfeld lief super. Die Tour durch die Medina bei Nacht war super interessant, auch der kleine Abstecher zu einem Freund. Wir endeten kurz vor Mitternacht auf dem Hauptplatz, wo immer noch viel los war. Sehr empfehlenswert.Sehr individuell und stadtnah

A perfect day. Omar is a superb guide and a lovely, sweet guy.
We had great communications before the day, with Omar always responding to our questions quickly and fully. He even checked what sort of activities/experiences we would most want included in our day (and he fully accepted our request for no shopping!)....and if we had any food requirements.
He picked us up at the hotel spot on time, explained the day he'd planned including timings and then off we went in his very comfortable car.
We stopped at some lovely villages, viewpoints etc until hooking up with his colleague (another Omar) who would guide us on our walk.
Fabulous walk, just the three of us mountain paths, eventually arriving at the large, impressive waterfalls. (There were a lot of people at the falls who had walked along the main, tourist thoroughfare in large groups).
We enjoyed the waterfalls but were pleased when Omar took us back to the quiet paths on to a Berber House for lunch.
This was a fabulous spot, traditional house with amazing views from the terrace where we ate....and what an awesome meal!!!
Then we opted to continue walking for around another half hour. Omar the walking guide was included in the tour cost but we did of course tip him..... such a lovely guy!
Then the drive back to the hotel stopping occasionally at viewpoints, villages etc.
A truly wonderful day made prefect by Omar.....amd Omar!
We would score this 11 hearts if possible!Superb day with Omar

Omar is een rustige jongen die de tijd voor je neemt en luistert naar de wensen die je hebt.
Afwijken in het programma van wat hij in zijn hoofd heeft is daarom ook mogelijk, uiteraard binnen de tijdspanne die men heeft.
Tijdens deze trip werkte Omar samen met iemand (ben even de naam vergeten) maar ook die was top!
Kortom een aanrader om te boeken.Top

Brahim is the perfect guide for the Atlas Mountains day excursion. His wealth of local knowledge and friendly disposition are wonderful. Top tip if you are on the tour while children are out of school bring a long a couple deflated soccer balls for the local less fortunate kids who, in a cute manner, try to block the mountain roads for sweets or soccer balls. Leave the sweets at home.😀🫏🐪⚽️Great day with Brahim!

When visiting a city as vibrant and storied as Marrakech, the difference between a good experience and an unforgettable one often comes down to your guide. Enter Omar, an exceptional city guide whose knowledge, charm, and wisdom transformed my visit into a rich tapestry of history, culture, and personal connection. Spending five hours on a private tour with him was nothing short of extraordinary.
From the very start, Omar’s warm and welcoming demeanor put me at ease. With a radiant smile and an infectious enthusiasm for his city, he greeted me like an old friend and instantly made me feel like I was in the best of hands. His genuine passion for Marrakech was apparent in every word, gesture, and story he shared throughout our time together.
Omar’s knowledge of the city is nothing short of encyclopedic, yet he presents it in a way that is engaging, relatable, and, above all, human. He guided me through the labyrinthine streets of the Medina, pointing out not just the landmarks but also the hidden gems that most tourists would overlook. From the bustling souks, where the air is thick with the aroma of spices and leather, to the serene beauty of the Bahia Palace, Omar’s deep understanding of Marrakech’s history and culture added layers of meaning to every sight.
One of the most remarkable aspects of Omar’s tour was his storytelling. He wove together tales of Marrakech’s past and present with such vivid detail that it felt like stepping into a living history book. He shared stories of the city’s foundation, its importance as a trade hub, and its transformation into the cultural epicenter it is today. These weren’t dry, textbook accounts; they were lively narratives that painted a picture of the people, politics, and passion that have shaped Marrakech over the centuries.
Omar’s wisdom truly belies his years. Despite his youthful energy, he has an old soul’s insight into the complexities of life and culture. His ability to connect the past with the present was particularly striking. For instance, while walking through the Mellah, the historic Jewish quarter, he spoke not only of its historical significance but also of the efforts to preserve its legacy in today’s rapidly modernizing world. His reflections on the coexistence of tradition and progress left me with a deeper appreciation for the city’s resilience and adaptability.
In addition to the historical and cultural highlights, Omar introduced me to some truly breathtaking spots that I would have never discovered on my own. From hidden courtyards to vibrant artisan workshops, he had a knack for revealing the soul of the city in unexpected places. The way he interacted with locals along the way—always with respect and warmth—showed his genuine connection to the community, adding an authentic layer to the experience.
The five hours I spent with Omar flew by, yet every moment felt rich with discovery. By the end of the tour, I felt not only more connected to Marrakech but also more inspired by the stories, wisdom, and spirit Omar shared with me.
For anyone visiting Marrakech, a tour with Omar is an absolute must. His deep knowledge, charming personality, and storytelling mastery make him more than just a guide; he becomes a bridge to the heart of this incredible city. Omar doesn’t just show you Marrakech—he makes you fall in love with it.A Journey Through Time and Culture

Omar gave us an unforgettable experience on our private trip to the Atlas Mountains. He ensured a smooth and safe journey in a private van and his friend (another Omar) guided us on a scenic hike, followed by a lovely meal with views of the snowy peaks. We also visited a Berber market, rode camels at sunset, and enjoyed a luxury desert dinner he helped arrange. Omar even went the extra mile to organise a birthday cake for my parents birthday upon request, which we truly appreciated. His attention to detail and warm hospitality made this a memorable adventure. Highly recommended!

The trip to the Atlas Mountains and Berber village with Omar was one of those few days we will never forget as a family (kids are 18 and 16). Omar picked us up at our hotel and first took us to a Berber market, which is an experience in itself. Next, we were welcomed into an Imazighen home where we had mint tea and snacks and got a brief view of life in the village. From there we met another guide who took us on a one hour hike in the mountains. We are not mountain climbers and we did not find the hike to be a strain, so I think it should be fine for most folks if you are reasonably in shape. Just be sure to wear hiking shoes or at least good sneakers. It can be slippery.
The views were AMAZING and the cool air in the hills was a welcome relief. I have a healthy fear of heights, but I was only truly anxious at one area of the climb. The guide was slightly more agile on the rocks than a mountain goat, so he made it much easier by showing us the best paths to take.
We then had lunch at a local restaurant along the river, which was very scenic.
On the way back to Marrakech we stopped at a few spots to take photos from the mountains; the drive is breathtaking (from the views and from the terror of the sheer cliffs on the side of the road).
Omar speaks excellent English, is extremely courteous, and was happy to answer all of our many questions.
If you can only do one tour in Morocco, do this one. 11 out of 10. Best day of our trip

Omar, was a wonderful host, knowledgeable and patient. It was my children’s first experience of an environment like this, it can be overwhelming, he took them both under his wing and showed them sights and experiences of the medina. My children (10 & 6) absolutely loved it, Omar ensure it was an interactive, educational and engaging experience!
I would highly recommend Omar as a guide for anyone and age. However, if you have children, look no further! Wonderful experience for the kids
