    It was hard to contact the guide , the day when we are going to hike, guide finally told us the meeting point location in the morning. Surprisingly we also had lunch , that we don't have to pay. Overall with guide and other people was pretty good, but as the Viator’s 3 days trekking program of day wasn’t exactly as the guide does

    Great experience. We started the trip with a group of people who booked a day tour around touristic attractions. I'm not sure if there was a mistake but we might have gotten in the wrong car by accident. Our tour operator Redouane (Red Oun) quickly and smoothly fixed this and we got dropped at Imlil where there was a guide waiting for us. Our guide Abde was a very nice man with a lot of knowledge about the area. We could choose whatever we wanted to see and he showed us around. The guesthouse where we were sleeping provided us with a good breakfast and delicious Maroccan diners every time again. I would definately recommend this trip to any sportive person/couple. We will come back to climb the Toubkal next year!

    Had an excellent time trekking through the beautiful Atlas Mountains with Mohamed Bowajamor. The communication and assistance from Ahmed at the travel company was also great.
