  Overall, we did not have a great experience. First of all, we were picked up four hours late from our hotel with no communication at all. We were getting ready to book another hotel and arrange another trek. Secondly, six out of six of us got really bad altitude sickness at the Refuge at 3,200 meters, so we were unable to complete the hike and reach the summit. I am guessing this could be due to us having to rush the acclimatization hike on day one or our pace up the mountain being too fast.Show more

  Hammit, the hostel contact person and Mohammed, the tour guide for hiking, they are very nice and accommodate all my needs. The food is very delicious. The trek is not easy. I did it very slow. But Mohammed toom very good care and was patient. I was glad to join the tour although I'm the only person in the tour. I don't have to worry the transfer from and back to Marrakesh because the tour included.Show more

  My boyfriend and I booked this trip as part of a week long stay in and around Marrakech. It was the highlight of our trip. Our guide Mohammad was kind and friendly and took all of the group’s needs into account. He even lent me his coat when we reached the top! The trek itself isn’t easy, so be prepared for some long days of walking, altitude and steep terrain, but the effort is worth it. The refuge is quite basic, so bring supplies and don’t forget a head torch! We also enjoyed a lovely walk around the Imlil waterfalls with another guide called Abdul. This was super and a lovely chance to get to know the area. Thanks again, Hannah and AndrewShow more

  The hotel was simple, but comfortable with good food provided. I booked the hike to Toubkal only a couple of days in advance. It was one-on-one guided trek with Muhammad who was absolutely wonderful in making sure I had a fantastic trek.Show more

  This turned out to be an excellent experience, with superb facilitation by the folks in Morocco. Our guide, Mohammad, was very experienced and patient, which led to the successful winter sunrise ascent of Mount Toubkal. Always helpful, friendly and punctual, I would highly recommend him.Show more

  Absolutely amazing experience. The trek itself is challenging and very difficult, a lot more difficult than what you’d read online about it. This tour handles everything for you, from picking you up at your hotel to dropping you off. You have provided meals along the way, not all of them great but it’ll do. They *do not* provide water, even though it says they do. You’ll have to buy your own water along the trek at the stops/huts along the way. They say sleeping bag is optional, it is not, bring a sleeping bag or pay to rent one from them. You’ll need it at the refuge. Same goes for crampons, and walking sticks if you use those. Everything about the trek was great, except for the guide I had. He was terrible unfortunately. I’m a slow hiker and he was impatient and frustrated most of the time. He didn’t go at my pace and half the time he was so far ahead of me I couldn’t even see him. Instead of stopping when I wanted or needed a break, we’d stop whenever he needed a cigarette. He was rushing me the entire hike, and on the last day when you hike to the summit, you really shouldn’t be rushing anyone. He should not be a tour guide for slow hikers. The crazy thing is that I wasn’t even that slow compared to other hiking groups we met at the refuge. I can’t imagine how he would’ve handled that. Overall a great experience but would try to request a patient tour guide if you’re a slower hiker.Show more

  Amazing trek! Definitely not easy but well worth. I went as a solo traveller with no issues. The first day was a little hike up a peak overlooking Imlil which was nice but could easily be skipped. Instead, I would spend that day going up Toubkal. I spent an extra night in the refuge because going up and down Toubkal in 2 days is quite intense, and I would recommend breaking it up (1 day ascent to refuge, 1 day up to Toubkal and back, 1 day return from refuge). Make sure you have hiking shoes too because it is steep, slippery and rocky. All the transport to and from Marrakech, food, water and accommodation was all sorted out provided without issue. My guide Ibrahim was an absolute legend and very nice, always looking out for me and willing to accommodate my wishes. Always felt safe and cared for.Show more

  My three-day Toubkal/Imlil trip was excellent. I had booked it as a solo traveler so was unsure of whether the company would want to continue with the trip. This did not seem to be a problem - but they also found another solo traveller last minute so paired us together anyhow. Our guide (Sameer) and cook/mule manager (Hassan) were excellent - really well organized, kind, and professional. Their English was limited but they could clearly communicate important/logistical needs. I highly recommend the tour!Show more

  Our 3-day Toubkal trek was a unique adventure for us. We were picked up from our hotel in Marrakech and headed to Imlil, through to the Azzaden Valley and the Tamsoult Refuge. Everything was easy and well organized. The staff at Imlil was so welcoming and accommodating. We loved the experience we had there, including the delicious food they gave us. While the trek was challenging, our tour guide chose the pace of the slowest person. We had the best scenery as we trekked through the Jebel Toubkal, the highest peak in the Atlas Mountain. Besides we enjoyed the beauty of waterfalls, Azzaden valley and other landscapes. The Berber guides and mules made this trek a true Moroccan adventure!Show more
