“I enjoyed the tour overall; however, it was unnecessarily long and a lot of wasted time in between stops. I think they dragged the tour out too long. The hike portion was entirely too long and there wasn't much to see. The food at the local's home was amazing! One of the best meals while in Marrakech. The tour guide was very friendly, but I felt like he was trying to entertain us the ENTIRE time. At best, this is a 5 hour tour.”

It was a pity but for me it wasn't really about summitting anyway. The journey was a real challenge that we asked for. I am glad we did it. We also met very nice folks and our guide Omar and Mustafa took good care of us. A gentleman in our group gave me company when I fell behind the…”
