The driver will pick you up from your Riad at 8:30 to start off on your day trip to the Atlas Mountains and Ourika Valley from Marrakech. During our journey towards the High Atlas Mountains, the itinerary takes you past Tahanout, a Berber village located approximately 35 km away from Marrakech. Similar to numerous towns and villages in Morocco, Tahanaout is home to a Jewish cemetery.
Next, we reach the village and mausoleum of Moulay Brahim, a renowned Moroccan Sufi saint who passed away in 1661. Here, you can share a glass of tea with a local Berber family, who will kindly show you a traditional hammam and a bread oven. Upon reaching the Toubkal National Park, your journey continues to Asni, a charming Berber town renowned for its regular and weekly local markets, known as ‘souks’.
Driving further eastward from Asni, you enter the Ourika Valley, surrounded by lush gardens, fruit orchards, quaint villages, and a variety of cafes and restaurants. The Ourika River gracefully descends from the high mountains, passing through Asguine, Aghbalou, and Oulmes, and ultimately reaching the village of Setti Fatma.
This part of the mountains is excellent for hiking, which can be organised with a local Berber guide. These hikes provide an opportunity to explore the stunning landscapes and gain a deeper understanding of the local Berber life in the mountain.

Aleksandra M15/06/2024Great city tour - strongly recommended Me and my friend came to Marrakesh for 1 day and a city tour was what we needed. Our guide, namesd Said, comes from a Berber tribe and speaks good english. Very friendly and chatty guy who has a lot of information about the monuments and history. We took a walk through Medina (old city) passing by multiple shops and food stols. Onlybthat itself was an experience. Combination of colors, smells, proportions, design, esthetics of the architecture was overwhelming. Absolutely senses stimulating. Use reccommendations for the tour - comfy shoes, water and a sunscreen are a must. The tour took us nearly 4h, we walked over 8km. If you need a toilet there are free ones in the Bahia Palace ( go to the one AFTER small riad). Make sure to have cash on you because very often ATMs are not working, currency exchange points, restaurants and local shops don't accept cards. We also visited a para pharmacy to learn about argan oil, spices, herbs and teas. We got a cup of fantastic local tea and tested a lot of products - we could pay by card there. However, it wasn't the cheapest place, so if you have time, have a strall in the market to compare the prices. Tips for the guid are more then welcome. Read how to tip in Morocco because it's usually higher in european countries. Strongly recommended. Thank you Said!Verified
Katarzyna Z15/06/2024Great day in Marrakech Said was great guide and made our day showing us the best gems of the city. Highly recommend for all who want to experience not a regular sight seeing ✨????Verified
Antoine T15/06/2024A memorable trip with a dedicated team!! Hamza and his team are very, very professional! We loved our trip, especially thanks to Aziz who was an exceptional guide in every way. Traveling with 3 young children is never easy, especially when you cover a lot of kilometers but it was really great. We recommend without reservationVerified
Erica Gall24/05/2024Very knowledgeable and kind. Highly recommend! Brahim was very knowledgeable and led us through the medina. He even took me to a very reputable rug shop and waited for me after. We chatted a lot about the craftsmanship and architecture on our walk and I could tell he sincerely loves Morocco. He was patient while everyone took photos as we waded through the crowdsVerified
Nicole A16/05/2024A successful and unforgettable stay We spent 3 unforgettable days. Magnificent landscapes and sites, superb walks and especially in the company of Abdel.

sherylgeorgina29/04/2024An amazing experience !! Amazing walking tour ! Started in the medina with a talk about the mosque then walked through the souks to the Bahia palace . At the Palace there was a really long queue to get in but because we were with a tour we got in with no wait which must have saved at least 30minute wait. Hassan was so knowledgeable especially about the history of Morocco. We went on to visit the souks again in the area where they prepared / food then on to a visit to a spices shop for a fascinating talk all about different herbs spices teas etc . Last off to the Ben Youssef - again we were told so much about all the history and got some great photos . Thank you for a brilliant experience-5starVerified

Cristina F13/04/2024Around Marrakech with Brahim Walking with Brahim was very interesting! He was always very professional and helpful, able to explain a lot of the Marocco colture always making sure that the people in the tour felt safe and interested. He was able to answer to all our questions and played a key role for us to understand better the culture from Marocco.
