Atlas Mountains Day trip with lunch at Paradise Valley

This was a lovely trip and our driver/guide, Nourradine, was very knowledgeable and pleasant company. We really enjoyed the parts where he invited us to get out and walk for a short distance to take in the breathtaking views and enjoy the incredible peace and tranquility of the area. The food at the lunch stop, chicken and vegetable tagine was excellent and in a lovely setting. There were a couple of things that could be improved upon. Firstly be aware that the short walk to Paradise valley for your lunch is quite uneven and steep in places. Fine if you are sure of foot and able bodied. However, I feel would be difficult for people less mobile. Also, we were picked up on time, 8.30am as advertised and stopped for lunch around 1pm. There was no comfort break stop in between and the advertised Berber breakfast simply didn’t happen. We have enjoyed Berber breakfasts before and therefore were not overly concerned on missing out on this but it would have been nice to have a stop for at least some refreshment after a couple of hours. The visit to the local women’s cooperative was pleasant and in a lovely garden setting. Do have some of the freshly squeezed orange juice, it will cost 20 Dirhams (about £1.80) but worth it. The ladies were not pushy with the argan oil products and very informative. All in all a lovely trip and good value for money in our opinion but could be improved by making a couple of small adjustments.

great guide, the trip was great, polish speaking, very nice and helpful, I recommend it, I will gladly repeat it again????????

Des décors majestueux , des routes très accidentés mais sans soucis particulier grace a notre super guide qui connait chaque virage comme sa poche ! Abdellah nous a fait découvrir la vallée et ses habitants, nous avons pu nous ballader dans un village et découvrir la réalité des gens de la région. LA baignade de fin de parcour est un délice !
