Incredible!

5.00We had a great time in Imlil with Hamza, Rachid and their family! The hike in the Atlas Mountains was so peaceful and beautiful. Our guide, Rachid, was very kind and explained a lot about the Amazigh culture and their village. The cooking class was really fun. We learned how to make a traditional tagine and mint tea. They also have a rooftop, drinking tea with that view is on another level! I would definitely recommend this experience to anyone visiting Morocco.
Great day out and lovely food

5.00My mum and I had a lovely day out with Hamza and family. The views were spectacular, the pick up seamless and the kitchen had space for multiple people. Highly recommend! It’s not just a cookery class but a day out away from the bustle of Marrakech, seeing somewhere new and excellent value for money.

5.00We had a wonderful time exploring the beautiful Atlas Mountains with Hamza. He taught us so much about the Amazingh culture and his family, which made the experience even more special. Hamza was warm, patient, accommodating and considerate, and he looked after us extremely well throughout the trip. We have nothing but great memories from our time in Imlil exploring with Hamza, and we plan to return and do more tours with him in the future, in sha Allah. We would, without a doubt, recommend booking your tours with Hamza if you are looking for more than just a guide, but for a truly immersive cultural experience with someone who genuinely cares about his guest and ensures they have a meaningful and memorable experience. Thank you Hamza for our lovely trip. Wishing you every success in the future
Amazing!

5.00Hamza and his family are wonderful! He gave us an authentic experience that will not be forgotten. I highly recommend this activity as the Atlas Mountains itself is something to die for! And learning how to make the Moroccon dish was just the cherry on top. Thank you Hamza!

5.00Hamza is a great guide and cooking with his family was an amazing experience. Everyone was really helpful and kind, the view while preparing and then eating the tajine is unforgettable. We loved every second of it and hope to do more tours in Atlas Mountains with Hamza in the future when we’re back in Morocco again. Absolutely recommended!
Relaxation, flavors and local experiences

5.00Spending the day in the Atlas Mountains with Hamza was a highlight of our trip to Marrakesh. From the moment he picked us up, he was friendly, warm, and knowledgeable about the local culture, history and Berber traditions. The drive into the mountains was beautiful, and Hamza made several interesting stops along the way, always checking that we were comfortable and enjoying ourselves. The cooking class with the local family was a truly authentic experience. We were welcomed into their home like old friends, shared tea, and learned how to prepare a traditional Moroccan meal. Hamza translated, and explained every step with patience. We never felt rushed, and there was a perfect balance between activities, learning, and simply taking. If you’re looking for more than a standard tourist tour and want a real connection with local people, I highly recommend this experience. Thank you, Hamza!
