We had an amazing experience climbing Mount Toubkal with Hussein as our guide. He made the whole trip unforgettable always positive, encouraging, and full of energy. Hussein is also a great singer, which made the trek even more fun and memorable!

I can highly recommend traveling with high atlas hiking. We were traveling with two kids at the age of 2 and 4 around Morocco for 10 days, and Said was very helpful with arranging transfers, accommodation and trips to sights as well as hiking trips. The pace was set to fit the kids, our driver Hassan was amazing and so so helpful. They even rearranged a tour for us to fit our family the best. I cannot recommend high atlas hiking enough, they deserve a million ️. Hope to be back soon. Morocco is a beautiful country - also for small kids

We did a 3-day tour through 3 different valleys around Imlil, and the tour was perfectly tailored to our needs. Special requests regarding the kids (5 and almost 2) or vegetarian meals were always accommodated. The team (Yassin, Mohammed, and Ahmed – sorry if I misspelled their names :/) was the best we could have wished for! The food was excellent, and Yassin chose the perfect route for us. Mohammed is a fantastic mule driver and practically taught our daughter how to ride a horse :) The accommodations were simple but always clean and very authentic. In short: 100% recommended!

I highly recommend this agency. Starting with the owner, Said, who helped me plan the tour perfectly, meeting my every request. I especially thank our driver Hassan for his kindness and care in accompanying us. The experience in the Atlas Mountains, off the beaten path, couldn't have been better, with Omar and the delicious lunch served at a Berber family. Thank you so much!
