We had a fantastic trip up into the Atlas Mountains with Omar. He was an excellent tour guide and very personable. Our lunch with the local family was superb and such a brilliant experience.

Great experience
We had a wonderfull trip with the brother of Brahim, Omar. Omar replaced Brahim because Brahim had family issues.
Omar shows us a lot of local live, takes us to the local market and shares his Berber knowlodge. The mountain guide
Moustafa did also a great job and we had a lunch at his family house! This was very Nice. We Will truely recommend the trip and the both guides!

Stunning day out
Omar was a great guide. He made the trip extremely comfortable. Omar’s kind and caring nature and love for the place he grew up shone through and helped us experience the area in a more authentic way. Omar checked in before each stop to ensure it was something we wanted to do. There was absolutely no pressure on any activity. The Atlas Mountains are truly beautiful and show a different perspective on Morocco that can’t be seen in the cities.
Highly recommend wearing pants (I wore a long dress which was no appropriate), hiking boots and taking sunscreen for the hike up the mountain to the waterfall - it is a bit of a climb over rocks and on uneven terrain.

Lovely family & cultural adventure
Our family of four really enjoyed our tour with Brahim and Mohammed. They were both very friendly and answered all the many questions our children asked. The tour started with Brahim picking us up at our Riad in Marrakech and driving us up into the mountains. We stopped at a Women's Coop to see how Argan oil is made, and purchased some Argan products. Next stop was in the town of Imil to start the amazing hike through multiple villages. Mohammed took us to a rug shop in a very small village, over to a stunning waterfall, and to our lunch stop. The food was delicious and more than we could finish. The views and experience were a very welcome refreshment from the hustle and bustle of Marrakech. We cannot recommend this trip more highly. Enjoy!
