Please find below some of our Morocco trekking tours and travel reviews form our valuable guests.
It was a fantastic, very well organized trip. A beautiful trekking, with excellent guide and cook. Later during the tour we had a very good, safe driver. What we really appreciated to Mohammad was that we were able to ask questions and he always replied with the good and honest solutions. Thank you very much Mohammed and staff!
We have just returned to Canada and I wanted to take this opportunity to provide some fedback about our two day trek. While it was physically demanding for me (especially the first day), it was an absoloutely fantastic experience, and a highlight of our 3 week trip to Morocco! The trek was so well organized and professionally run. You were prompt and thorough in your email replies prior to the trek and everything was ready and available as described when we arrived in Imlil. Dealing directly with you and supporting a local Moroccan company was a great choice! Adil was an excellent guide. He was knowledgeable, warm and friendly. He was encouraging and patient, especially when I needed to stop and rest frequently on the uphill sections. Ali's cooking was wonderful. Of all the meals we'd eaten in Morocco, his were the most flavourful!! The quantities and variety were very generous. And of course the scenery was spectacular! What a thrill to be in the midst of those stunning mountains, valleys and villages. While we were a bit unlucky with the weather on the second day, walking through the clouds and cold, heavy mist was also a memorable experience. The acommodation in the village guest house was very basic but adequate. We appreciated being warm, dry and well-fed. In terms of the grading of difficulty of the trek, I guess those ratings are relative, based on the range of local terrain and personal level of fitness. To my mind, an "easy" grading would be mostly flat on solid terrain. This trek, both the extened uphill sections and even the downhill portions on loose stones, seemed much more like "moderate" for me. It was a challenge for me (my husband was fine), but to be in the High Atlas and accomplish the hike was an exhilarating experience! I'd like to thank you and your team for a wonderful two-day trek. We will recommend you to all our friends. Please feel free to use this feedback in any way to promote your company. We wish you all the best! Warm regards, Sharna Cohen and Nathan Cheifetz
thank you so very much for the wonderful experience offered by Atlas Trekking on my recent trip to summit Toubkal. Your package was very well run, and I was very impressed by the guide Mohammed, and the full climb experience . I must say the stay at your guest house at Dar Adrar was excellent – very relaxing and the food was very tasty! All in all a wonderful experience and one I shall be recommending to my friends and colleagues. Please give my best regards to your business partner, Jamal, who took me back to marrakech. I discussed the Sahara trip with him and I will be doing this with you later this year. Thanks again for a wonderful adventure. Best wishes, Darren
Just wanted to say again that we really enjoyed the trip that you organised for us. The trekking was perfectly matched to our needs and was expertly and professionally led by Abdul. I very much appreciated the help Abdul gave me in using crampons for the first time. He was patient and understanding and gave me the confidence to make good progress over the snow. The cook and muleteers made up a great team. The food they prepared was very appetising and wholesome; they did a great job! We enjoyed the range of accommodation you arranged - from the most basic gites to the hotels (especially Chez Pierre). The drive to the desert and back gave us a fascinating insight to Morocco and our time in Marrakesh was a great way to end the holiday. My wife and I have already talked about asking you to arrange a walking holiday for us, perhaps next year. I'll be in contact in due course. Thanks again for an excellent holiday and I look forward to hopefully seeing you in Morocco again before too long. Best regards
Thanks for a memorable trip. We had a great time with Ibrahim, Ibrahim 2, Mohamed the cook. We learned a lot about your mountains. Ibrahim sang some Berber songs for us and showed us berber dance moves. He has a future in the movies! I trust the balance I owed you has been received. We look forward to visiting again and telling our friends about the perfect arrangements you made for us. Thanks, Jawad
Hi Mohamed, We are writing to you to thank you for your kindness and seriousness in booking our day trip to to Ouzoud Waterfalls. We are very impressed with its majestic beauty and the beauty of your entire country. But most of all we are writing to give compliments on our tour guide, Adil and his driver. Adil was punctual to pick us up in our hotel. He was so knowledgeable, responsible, friendly and kind to us throughout the entire trip. He took care of us and answered all of our questions with grace. The food we had was delicious, honestly we didn't have a better tagine anywhere else than the place that Adil picked for us to have lunch at! It was such a pleasure to have him as our guide. We'd like to send to him and to you our best regards and we hope to go back to Marrakech soon and book another excursion with your company and of course, with Adil as our tour guide. Inshallah! Sincerely,
Sue, Guillaume and Sophie (June 2012)
His guesthouse in Imlil is pleasant with hot water and regular mint teas, with great views across the valley.
Our guide and muleteer arrived on time next morning, and both were very skilled and provided well for us the next days. Everything went as planned, and we were back in Imlil for lunch two days later and transport back to Marrakech. All meals were good and varied, so all in all a very good experience and good value for money.
Its taken some time but I just wanted to thank you for orgainising our whole Moroccan experience. Samils food was fantastic. Transport arrangements were spot on, even the Mules didn't complain. We'll certainly be back. We've got friends coming over in February and we've passed on your details and have highly recomended you and your company. Regards Baden

Dear Mohammed As we told you, we greatly enjoyed our trekking experience with Aztat Treks and would highly recommend your business to anyone who wished to trek in the High Atlas. Our guide Mohammed, with muleteers Samir and Ali were all delightful company and made the experience more enjoyable. Samir’s food was amongst the best (if not the best) that we had during the rest of our trip in Morocco – especially his spicy lentils! We are now back in England and when I have sorted things out I will email you a photograph of Mohammed our guide for you to give to him if you would be so kind. With kind regards Kate Stamp
