5.00Our guide Moustapha looked after us very well, explaining everything we were going to do. The 90 mins hike had spectacular views and was well worth it! (Not good for people with mobility issues as it's very steep and hilly) Lunch was delicious and the rest stops were really interesting places to visit, especially the market and argon oil experience. Trip said it would last 6.5 hours, but it lasted 9 hours, but it was a fantastic day out.
Top notch tour

5.00A fantastic tour facilitated by Moustapha (guide) and Isham ( Driver). Moustapha was and a abundance of knowledge throughout the day. We stopped at several viewpoint's to take photos of the amazing Atlas Mountains, we then hiked 200m incline in Imlil village to the waterfall . After this we were then taken to a fantastic local restaurant where we had the most amazing tagine. They were very accommodating with a vegetarian option. Would recommend this tour, and both facilitators to everyone.
Great day trip

5.00Mustapha was our tour guide on a short hike and walk to Imlil Waterfall and township - he was very kind and knowledgeable and helped take photos along the way, I recommend as a half day or whole day experience. Lunch spot was one of the best tagine dishes I’ve had in Morocco!

5.00Our guide Mustapha was very friendly and most informative. We thoroughly enjoyed our day with him, learning all about the area and his people. The hike was beautiful and the orange juice at the falls delicious. The lunch was simple and well served. We came away knowing and understanding the way of life in this part of the Atlas mountains.
Lovely trip.

5.00Lovely trip, definitely recommend. Everyone from the driver to the tour guide to the camel handlers were really nice, friendly and welcoming. They were great with my son (10) answering his questions and being attentive to his needs. Our driver Mustapha would stop for picture opportunities along the way which we really appreciated. Would definitely recommend!

5.00This trip was an amazing experience, hiking high in the Atlas Mountains with beautiful views. Moustapha is a fantastic guide, who is very helpful and knowledgeable. We met Moustapha in 2023, and kept in touch and then booked this trip with him when we returned this year in 2024. Would highly recommend!
