2-daagse begeleide trektocht door het Atlasgebergte en Berberdorpen

This was a great experience, highly recommend! Our guide, Rashid, was extremely friendly, helpful, and funny and answered all of our questions and went out of his way to make our experience enjoyable. I would make sure to research the weather before you go - it was sunny T-shirt weather but is apparently normally snowy that time of year - and bring good walking shoes, as there are a couple of quite gravelly hills. The food was more than enough and very tasty - the nicest we’ve had in Morocco so far in fact! The muleteer and guide were super helpful, and we could take lots of breaks whenever we needed to. There was also lots of lovely mint tea and nuts and biscuits at every stop. The accommodation in the mountain village was very comfortable, private, and safe, but no frills. the highlight was a view of the brightest stars we’ve ever seen from the accommodation, as there was no light pollution. The walking was a tiny bit strenuous at times but definitely possible for anyone with an average level of fitness, and you can take lots of breaks. The other highlight was all the amazing views - I don’t think you would get these on a one-day trip. Would highly recommend this trip and ask for Rashid if you can! He grew up in a Berber village (and even taught us some Berber!) so it was great to have him show us around. The hiking wasn’t a full 2 days (we finished at around 2pm on the second day and had lunch served and were back in Marrakesh by 4pm) - but it was the perfect amount in the end. If you’re looking for a super strenuous hike across several days I would maybe do a 3-day trek or Mt Toubkal (Rashid also does this), but for a decent workout and amazing views and experience in 2 days, this was perfect.

I booked this group trek months in advance but when it came to it I was the only person who confirmed so I was greatly appreciative that they did not cancel it or put me into another trip as I really wanted this one. Although the initial communication to confirm starting arrangements was hard due to incorrect phone no, after that everything went smoothly. The guide Nassim could not have been more helpful- very kind and concerned for my welfare with useful information and excellent English. The cook Mohamed produced copious delicious food. I was lucky with the weather and had stunning views, saw almost no other tourists and we walked for 5-6 ours each day.The overnight accommodation was very basic and really cold (January) but plentiful blankets provided. I thoroughly recommend this company who will not let you down,

We had a fantastic time hiking with Rachid! The first part was a bit tricky as we didn't know who was picking us up - but after a phone call to Astara Tours by our Riad, we got it sorted. If you try to phone Astara Tours from the Viator confirmation, the number is wrong, so just go to their website and you will find the correct number. We got to the village where we started our trek, had some mint tea and made it to our guesthouse by 1800 that evening. The guest house was extremely cold, but fortunately we were the only guests, so after many, many blankets piled on top of us, we warmed up a little bit. There was a hot shower at the guesthouse and this was a real treat! The best food we had on our entire week in Morocco was prepared by our cook/muleteer Hammid when we got to the first pass. DELICIOUS! Our guide Rachid was such a patient young man - we were on the slower side of hiking and he did not push us or rush us in any way. Rachid was knowledgeable, friendly and the perfect guide for this trek!
