Peefect day trip from Marrakech
A perfect day trip from Marrakech! The views are absolutely beautiful and worth the walk. It was a really nice change to the mess and loudness from Marrakech. Our driver and guide were really nice and got us to all the good spots. I cannot recomend this tour enough!

Great day trip and break from Marrakech
Our driver, Lahcen, was awesome. On time, clean and air conditioned vehicle and safe driver. He made suggestions of stops for pictures (no shopping as promised) and was super friendly and informative. We ended up walking instead of using a mule, nothing difficult but would recommend runners or shoes with grip as there were a lot of loose rocks. Lunch was large and there were great views of the mountains. Would definitely recommend for a nice break from the hustle of Marrakech.

Fantastic day trip!
Such a fantastic tour! Our guide and driver Jamal was the best guide we’ve had while holidaying in Morocco. He was very knowledgeable, genuine, friendly and was more than happy to stop whenever we wanted to take a photo (and even bought us some fresh cherries on the way home!). The tour stated no forced shopping and this was correct (and very refreshing compared to some other tours we’ve been on). Lunch at the Berbers house was delicious, with super peaceful surroundings and we really enjoyed the mule ride too - they guides took very good care of us. Thanks for an excellent day - we really enjoyed escaping the city for a day and finding some serenity :)

Amazing tour, friendly crew and unforgettable moments!
We booked the Imlil Tour and the day after the tour to Essaouira. We had the fortune to spend two amazing days together with Lahcen and his team in the Atlas Mountains and at the Atlantic sea. The whole team is extremely friendly and they gave answers to all our questions. Whenever we wanted to stop for a drink or to make pictures, they did and we always had the feeling they enjoy their work and love what they do! We can highly recommend this nice guys! Next time we will be in Morocco, we will book for sure a trip into the dessert with them! Thanks Lahcen and Ibraim. We hope to see you soon again!

Fantastic Touring with AST!!! Slam Dunk!
We are a family of four, with a 21 year old and a 8 year old..day one we did the Marrakech city tour with Abderrahim and Hannan, which was wonderful. I just really don’t think we would have had the same experience on foot ourselves. Abderrahim was prompt at the hotel to pick us up and Hannan really did a great job touring the sites with us and really educating us on Marrakech. Day two Abderrahim picked us up for the Imlil and High Atlas Mountains day tour with donkey trek. It was such a great day and could not have been better..Abderrahim is such a pleasure to spend time with and he really has patience with tourists (we have so many questions!). We took donkeys up to a Berber village for lunch and hiked around a bit. I cannot say enough about AST, what a perfect two day adventure. Abderrahim was the perfect companion, Hannan a great guide for the city, and it’s worth noting that Ibrahim and Lahcen were super responsive to set everything up before our trip, answering a bunch of questions and making sure that we were good to go. I can’t say enough good things about AST..do yourself a favor and reach out to Ibrahim and Lahcen to book a tour or two!!

Why this scores 59
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Imlil and Atlas Mountains Day Trip from Marrakech: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Marrakech.
How much does Imlil and Atlas Mountains Day Trip from Marrakech cost?
+
Prices start at €80 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Marrakech usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Imlil and Atlas Mountains Day Trip from Marrakech take?
+
Plan for about 8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Marrakech is not rushed.
Is Imlil and Atlas Mountains Day Trip from Marrakech worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 59 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 7 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Marrakech, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Imlil and Atlas Mountains Day Trip from Marrakech?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Imlil and Atlas Mountains Day Trip from Marrakech suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Imlil and Atlas Mountains Day Trip from Marrakech?
+
Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Marrakech can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Marrakech and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Imlil and Atlas Mountains Day Trip from Marrakech start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Marrakech within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Marrakech?
+
On Outty we rank every Marrakech experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Marrakech: 1 Day Tour-Best of Atlas Mountains and Three Valleys, 3 Days Merzouga Desert Tour from Marrakech with Luxury Camp, Marrakech: Atlas Mountains, Ourika Valley, Waterfall + Lunch. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Marrakech?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Marrakech?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
