Was picked up from my hotel. Had a nice drive where we stopped a few times, walked around, got to take pictures and learn about what we were seeing. The drivers English was ok, I didn’t understand some things which he seemed to get irritated by. When dropped to my destination, I was greeted by a lovely man who took care of me.

What a wonderful day! Me and my boyfriend decided to do this adventure to learn more about the Berber cuisine. But to be honest it was more than that, this tour exceeded our expectations. First of all I must say that all the guides were very professional, Mustapha was our guide throughout the all day and he is a very prepared and lovely guy. Idris was our “Berber Host” , we had the best time with him and his family, he thought us how to prepare chicken tajine, Moroccan salad and also the Berber Mint tea. He also told us about the Berber culture. The most beautiful thing was that he made us feel at home, and we really thank him for that. The tour started with a visit at a cooperative in which ladies are making argan oil and cosmetics, then we went to Imlil and to end this beautiful day we also had a camel ride which we didn’t expect! I couldn’t recommend this excursion enough! Thank you Mustapha , thank you Idris we will definitely see you again !

After a 1.5 hour drive we arrived in the Atlas Mountains with Idris and his family. You live in a small village near the town of Imlil. Idris and his family are very welcoming and one of the most authentic experiences I've ever had in Morocco. Idris and his loving mother have made our cooking class a culinary journey and prepared with us the best tajine in Morocco. All of this took place in the home of Idris, where we immediately felt at home! The price is, measured by the great experience, even too cheap. I will visit Idris and his family again on the next Moroccan visit, as we were so happy to have met this loving family. Do not hesitate and book together with Idris one of the best experiences that you can do in your life! Our tour guide on the Mustapha trip was nice and informative! The whole trip was world class! Thanks getyourguide :)
