Full day trip to escape the heat of Marrakech. Small group of 12 people in a minibus. Very attentive and helpful staff. Karim is an excellent leader, making the trip enjoyable.

We enjoyed the trip a lot! Our tour guide was awesome (unfortunatelly I forgot his name) and he also took us to a real berber house where his family still lives. It was amazing trip and I highly recommend it. Thank you!

The day started off by going to the Agafay Desert. That was amazing. I want to thank Mohammed for the wonderful photos he took of me and my husband. I want to thank the driver Housain for his great driving experience. We went to see a berber village in the atlas mountains which dated back to the 600 century. We also got to see where they made Argan oil and how it was produced. We had mint tea and bread upstairs in their restaurant. Then went to the village of Imlil in the Atlas mountains. We had lunch in one of the berber's houses and the food was amazing there. Went for a walk in the mountains. Then headed back to Marrakech and done the Camel ride outside of Marrakech. The guide took lots of photos of us and want to thank Mohammid for this. Had a wonderful day and will probably do the day trip again out to the Agafay desert.

We went to Marrakech only for three days . I booked this trip after that I checked what things we could do for such a short stay with Trip Advisor .The driver picked us up from our hotel on time and we went to join the rest of the group and the guide ,to start our journey. We started with the very exciting camel ride . They gave us local cloths to make this experience more authentic, the guy with the camels was helpful , funny and friendly .They took pictures of us on the camels and at the end they offered us a nice Moroccan tea while our guide Mohamed explained us about the plan of the day ,the places that we were going to see and several information about the history of Berbers! We did visit the Argan oil cooperative and after all the information about the production of the argan oil we were offered a local type breakfast .Simple and tasteful! We stopped several times for photos. I personally could not follow the group on the way to the waterfalls so Mohamed made arrangements with another driver to take me to this nice little village where the group would come for the lunch. The nature around was unbelievable and people were picking cherries from the trees around. I met the group almost two hours later and we all had lunch in Mohamed s family house. Fresh and tasteful Moroccan food ! A beautiful terrace with fantastic view, on the Atlas mountains. On the way back we stopped for a small visit to the beginning of Agafay dessert and we stopped twice for photos. Nice Moroccan music from the radio ! Fantastic places , lovely people ,amazing food and a real taste of Morocco! Many tanks to the driver Asiz and the guide Mohamed. Well done guys ! !!

We had the best time on our Desert Agafay and Atlas Mountain tour and Camal ride. Everything was taken care of. The lunch was included and was DELICOUS!! with a great view!! We started with a fun camel ride. Short and sweet. We learned and saw how Argan oil is made. We took a beautiful and easy walk/hike in the mountains, We had a few stops to enjoy the scenery and take pictures. And we were offered tea and snacks throughout the day,. all to make us more comfortable. The guide Ismil was great and so was the driver. Great tour!!

My husband and I had a fabulous day out exploring Atlas Mountains and Agafay desert with Valleys. The guide, Ismail was engaging and provided nuggets of information about the mountain and Agafay! This trip is highly recommended! The Camel ride and brief stop-off to the Argon Oil Cooperative was great. The food was fantastic at the Berber village. We were looked after well throughout the day. Being in the high Atlas was a welcome break from the hussle and bussle of Marrakech. This was the best day of our saty in Marrakech

The guide and tour were both excellent - beautiful and fascinating glimpse into many aspects of Morocco. We were however plagued by organization issues and lingered far too long at a tourist trap Argon Oil store which, combined with other delays en-route, meant we missed the famed desert sunset and arrived back about 11.5 hours after departure (on the website it says duration 5-8 hours). That said, it was an experience to remember!

Very friendly and attentive guide. A dip into the traditional Moroccan culture in a relaxed day trip. Ideal for a break from the busy streets of Marrakech.

The whole day was enjoyable and for such a small cost! Make sure you you wear comfy sensible footwear, as you trek up the Atlas mountain can be slippy. My highlight has to be driving around the agafay desert in the 4x4! Great site to book through! Thankyou for the experience!!! Sarah Isle of Wight.
