High Atlas & 5 Valleys: Marrakech's Breathtaking Nature Escape

Mohammed, the first😃, was the perfect guide for this tour. During the day he brought us from Marrakesh medina to different valley's and the Atlas Mountain. When you stand up in the morning with a bad morning mood then Mohammed the 1st is THE guy to make you feel happy again. From the beginning he takes care of you and makes you feel a part of the Moroccan people. He tells you so much about the berbers, marrakech, the mountains and about himself with a funny note. The different places he brought us to where so beautiful and we were lucky we had fresh snow on the Atlas Mountain. The first snow this winter made the walk on the mountains with guide Ali and his younger neighbour really breathtaking. They can tell.you everything about the mountains because they grew up there. The berber family are so kind, as well the co-operative women on the first stop.for the typical berber breakfast. You feel really welcome. The lunch from the berber family was so incredibly good cooked. Fresh ingredients from their own harvest or from neighbours. They give you a glimp in the kitchen and in their houses. We almost felt like family. After a beautiful day Mohammed brought us back safe and well to the Medina of Marrakech. Hope to see you again Mohammed, maybe on your wedding next year July. Shukran!! Ruud and Nicole, the first

This was the highlight of my time in Marrakech, it was exceptional from my personal guide Mohammed along with my local hike guide Yaseen and the local Berber family who provided a perfectly delicious tagine with a breathtaking view. Mohammed was professional, friendly and truly cares for the Berber community. It’s a must do and if I am ever back I will do this again. Thank you for an incredible memory.

This was truly one of our best experiences in Marrakesh. Abdullah was an incredible guide, deeply knowledgeable about the history, culture, and traditions of Morocco, and genuinely warm, helpful, and friendly throughout the day. The Berber breakfast was lovely and fresh and really enjoyed spending time learning about the women’s co-op that made Argan oil in the area. Lunch was unforgettable. We had the best Tagine I’ve ever tasted, clearly made with so much love and pride. A special shoutout to our Berber guide, Yasin, who led us on a beautiful hike through part of the mountains. His passion for the land, the villages, and the amazing people who live there was inspiring. He shared so many insights and made the experience feel truly authentic. If you’re visiting Marrakesh, this experience is an absolute must. After the excitement and energy of the city, exploring the calm and stunning beauty of the mountains was the perfect balance.

What an excellent day out. Pick up on time and good vehicle that we shared with a lovely couple. Abdullah was a fantastic guide and we enjoyed his stories and explanations. Also our walking tour guide Yassin and the wonderful traditional meal prepared by Khadija and her Berber family - after an easy walk in and around the villages in the mountains (we were glad to opt for the easy rather than medium route, although slightly embarrassed by being overtaken by a 115 year local lady carrying a huge bag of tree branches!) . All round a great trip and excellent value, thank you so much to the team!

My wife and I were on our honeymoon, and Marrakech was our first stop. While we planned to explore the Medina and wander through the souks, this Atlas Mountain Tour caught our attention. The tour highlighted the opportunity to learn about Berber culture and the chance to see the Atlas Mountains up close so we booked it real quick. Since this tour was also all-inclusive, it was definitely worth booking. Straight up, this was one of the best tours I have ever taken. I’ve been on many tours and excursions before, but this one was truly special, largely thanks to the tour guide, Ismail. Our group was small with only one other couple which made it very private. However, Ismail made this tour truly memorable with his enthusiasm and vast knowledge of all things… he was essentially an encyclopedia in human form… seriously, he knew so much about any topic. On the tour, we visited a local Berber home where we watched bread being made fresh for breakfast. They also served us their homemade almond butter and honey which was phenomenal to eat with the bread. Later on in the tour, a local Berber guide led us on a scenic hour or so long hike through his home village where we were able to see amazing landscapes and scenery and also learn about Berber culture and daily life. After the hike, we were invited to another local home where we were served a delicious chicken tagine with couscous which was so tasty. What made this tour different than others was that Ismail drove us through all five valleys. We were told that most tours only go to the first or second valley before turning back which made this tour very unique. For most of the journey it was just us and the scenery which made it incredible. Without a doubt, you absolutely will not regret booking this tour even with the early wake up time. It was an experience I will never forget. Also, I highly recommend requesting Ismail as he is truly exceptional. On a side note, Ismail has a genuine soft spot for the Children in the Valleys. He always stops along the roads to hand out pencils and stickers. The kids call him “the Sticker Man” and seeing the excitement on the kids faces when they got their present was amazing to see. If possible, I encourage a stop by at a stationery shop in the Medina the day before your tour and pick up some stickers, pencils, or small coloring supplies. Overall, this was a 5/5 tour. It was the perfect way to start our honeymoon and truly one of the best experiences you can have while visiting Marrakech and Morocco.

It is one of the best decision on this trip to go for this tour. It is very nice, calm and a lot of true emotions. Abdullah was a very charming, charismatic and knowledgeable guide. Thank you for a great tour!

Great tour and Guide. Ishmail Ish mail is a fantastic guide. So energetic, knowledgeable and funny. He connected with each of the 6 passengers. His knowledge of Morocco and really anything in the world is most impressive. The tour was also excellent. Just enough time to see the sites and also included a one hour wak through one of the villages. Breakfast with arguin oil makers and proper lunch at a family home was authentic. If I could score higher than 5 stars I would.

I had an amazing day with Ismail. He was funny and knowledgeable and one of the best tour guides I have ever had. Bring snacks for the kids you meet throughout the day as they love them!

Excellently organised with pick up from our Riad even though we were staying a little out of the centre. Mohammed was our guide and driver and was wonderful throughout the day - a safe driver and very accommodating. This is a full day in the mountains and spends lots of time with local Berber people away from the tourist crowds of Marrakech. It was beautiful and all felt authentic and peaceful. The ‘hike’ is more of a gentle wander through the villages with a local guide but thoroughly enjoyable nonetheless.

I took a day trip to the Atlas Mountains and it was genuinely one of the highlights of my time in Morocco. Our guide, Mohammed (#1!), was outstanding. He was incredibly knowledgeable and took the time to explain the history, culture, and daily life of the Berber community in a way that felt authentic and engaging. He answered every question I had, never rushed the group, and happily stopped whenever I wanted to take photos. His warmth and enthusiasm made the entire experience unforgettable. I can’t recommend this tour enough—truly a must-do for anyone visiting Marrakech. And a huge thank you to Mohammed (#1!) for making the day so special.
