Middle Atlas Mountains; Private Day tour
The reviews and video’s for this day trip suggested this might be a good day out of Fes: into the countryside. After being on this today there are different reviews that should be stated: thus will make sense by the end. For seasoned travellers such as ourselves who have already spent 3 weeks travelling across Morocco & with the benefit of hindsight, we would not have booked this one. Here is some thoughts: we drive 1.5hrs out of town to Ifrane: this is an oasis in the middle of know where for those who are wealthy (foreign/local) & require a replica of Switzerland in Morocco, as their playground. We spent 20 minutes walking around & left: with the thought ‘what is the fuss about’ at what we saw. Lake Dait Aoua was dry as: nothing to see. Azrou: we were taken to a Cedar Forrest that had monkeys roaming around, motor bike riders reving their engines for some reason, filthy place; nothing ‘quaint’ about it. Mouser: Berber village was just another tourist Mecca where we were told to strollaround another market: we advised our driver this was not for us. The ad suggested we would see People living in Caves”: we didn’t know what to expect, but no… not true. I think you get the idea: average at best: it was a day out in the countryside. The other review might be : this is your first day trip in Morocco. We saw tourists clicking away at everything they came across. Did this trip portray an authentic representation of countryside Morocco to western tourists: absolutely not. It could be stated that it was a private tour that should have been a regular tourist bus tour, at best. Our driver was just a diver, he had some understanding of English but was clearly a local Arabic/French speaker, who gave us the ‘basics’ throughout the day. We showed a 3-Star rating as average: for us and our expectations of an authentic Moroccan experience, this does not deliver: more like a 2-Star. Fancy words to describe what one is suppose to see, but barely deliver. From our extensive experience of seeing the world with open eyes and paying good money for a trip purporting to be a Moroccan experience, which didn’t deliver, we cannot recommend this to our fellow travellers. Regards, GreyNomads

Beautiful trip to the Atlas Mountains
Beautiful trip to the Atlas, with a ‘Swiss’ town, the Cedar Forest, a Berber Medina and a traditional Berber home. And Hicham is a friendly, cool and experienced guide and driver. Thank you very much.

Fantastic day tour to Middle atlas with familly
We had a fantastic day trip from Fez, up to the Middle Atlas mountains, with a fantastic tour guide Hisham. He really made the day very memorable, we loved the horses including horse ride up to a lovely view. Comfortable Toyota Land Cruiser and great lunch at a local restaurant . Hisham made us feel very welcomed and my wife loved feeding the monkeys in the mountains. We would definitely recommend Morocco desert trips

Why this scores 67
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Middle Atlas Mountains, Cedar Forest and Azrou Day Trip from Fez: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Fez.
How much does Middle Atlas Mountains, Cedar Forest and Azrou Day Trip from Fez cost?
+
Prices start at €22 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Fez usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Middle Atlas Mountains, Cedar Forest and Azrou Day Trip from Fez take?
+
Plan for about 5 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 Fez is not rushed.
Is Middle Atlas Mountains, Cedar Forest and Azrou Day Trip from Fez worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 67 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 5 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Fez, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Middle Atlas Mountains, Cedar Forest and Azrou Day Trip from Fez?
+
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 Middle Atlas Mountains, Cedar Forest and Azrou Day Trip from Fez suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Middle Atlas Mountains, Cedar Forest and Azrou Day Trip from Fez?
+
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 Fez 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 Fez and add a light layer if any part of the 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Middle Atlas Mountains, Cedar Forest and Azrou Day Trip from Fez 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 Fez 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 Fez?
+
On Outty we rank every Fez experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Fes to Marrakech: Merzouga & Ait Ben Haddou, 3 Days 2 Nights, Fes to Marrakech desert tour 3 days, 2Days groupe Tour Fes To Fes Or Marrakech Via Sahara Tour. 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 Fez?
+
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 Fez?
+
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.
