The day trip in to the high atlas mountains was incredible.
We looked at so many different versions of this trip and most are about £20, some include a camel ride. We really wanted to stay away from the crowds and do a bit more walking up in the mountains so we decided to pay a bit more and chose this trip. We're so pleased we did, it was worth every penny more and absolutely was the highlight of our short trip to Marrakech.
There was only 1 other couple with us on the trip. The pick up was on time and easy, the driver Hicham was friendly and informative. There was a couple of stops at a pottery shop and argan oil place but no pressure to buy anything. Then we met the guide Hassan who was excellent, full of great knowledge, friendly and relaxed. Thankfully the other couple were happy to do a longer walk which meant we saw a lot more of the mountains, villages and scenery. We were a long way from any other tour groups and seeing stuff the cheap bigger tours never see. The meal literally on Hassans terrace made and served by his wife was very nice.
Genuinely I have no hesitation in recommending this tour and we will be heading back to the Atlas mountains soon to do more walking tours with Hassan.
