Good day trip, with an visit to Atlas mountains and valleys. The guide takes you to his village and you know he knows the place inside out. The guide was a sweet, polite and helpful guy, the driver was really reliable as well.
Unfortunately the guide was a bit passive for me, and did not give too much explanation unless asked. It would be great for someone who just want to be there experience it and take pictures.
The trip starts off with picking everyone up, a stop at a scenic place where you can see a typical Berber village (the stop is right next to a souvenir shop – and because he did not explain why we are stopping there, half of the group just went into the shop and did not hear the explanation of the village). Next stop is a cooperative run by women, you get served bread with olive oil, honey and Berber nutella, and then see how Argan oil is made, you can even get to experience the using mortar. Followed by a thorough explanation of products they sell and opportunity to buy. You then travel through the beautiful valleys, and reach the guide’s village. He takes you for a hike up side of a hill, which gets you to a waterfall, and then to a restaurant with a beautiful scenery where you have lunch. After this drive towards the desert, and experience camel riding dressed up. The staff at the camel riding was very helpful and friendly, and made sure you are safe.
All in all, given the price of the tour, this trip is worth all the money.
