The day tour with Rachid in the mountains was at the end of our time in Marrakech and one of the highlights. After finding each other was a bit of a challenge (no problem) it became a fantastic day. Rachid has put together a very good, interesting mix and the whole day is filled. Whether Berber market (on Saturday), second, traditional breakfast, hiking, lunch or camel ride, everything worked out for us.
All in all, it was an eventful, very successful day full of diverse impressions and experiences. Thanks a lot for this and we highly recommend this tour. Ali Baba

Rachid is an amazing and humorous tour guide- we learned a lot about the Berber culture, architecture and the importance of the small villages surrounding the atlas. He opened the door to his hometown and let us enjoy the homemade traditional food- which by the way was delicious.
All in all this tour exceeded our expectations. Would absolutely recommend Rachid!
