    Hassan prepared for us a three-day trekking offer to Jebel Tubkla (4176 m above sea level) with two nights in a mountain shelter. Under Hassan's guidance, we reached the peak and the weather and moods were great. Hassan organized everything perfectly, took care of all the details, told us a lot about trekking in the mountains. He picked us up from Marrakesh and took us back. We didn't have to worry about anything. I sincerely recommend his services, you will be satisfied.

    The hike was amazing and made far better by these guys. Superb service and loads of tea! They had mules to carry some of our kit, provided brilliant meals all the way, helped fitting crampons and were genuinely great people. Could not recommend more.
