Abdul and the team were fantastic Before the trip, they were very responsive by email to organise the details of the trip and pick up etc On the hike, Abdul was excellent in adapting the routing and pace to facilitate the group’s interests and abilities. He also pointed out many local features and points of interest on the way. Ibrahim’s cooking was phenomenal, some of the best Moroccan cooking we’ve had on our trip so far, also very willing to adapt to a food allergy. Would recommend to anyone

We took the 2-day tour to Jbel Toubkal and the hike including guide and overnight stay at the hut was perfectly organized. Communication via Whatsapp was super easy and uncomplicated. We learned a lot about the surrounding area and the mountains during the hike and always felt safe and in good hands. This tour provider can only be recommended!
