Great experience, everything prepared in a very profesional way.
I was travelling alone, safety was my main priority and it was provided for me in 100%!
High level of response, clear communication and information. Professional guide speaking very good english, great guesthouse accommodation provided by the organizer and many other aspects leading me to share my high recommendation for Atlas Toubkal Trek!
Thank you, I’ll come back!

Whatever you need, this is the right place for you.
Youssef is one of the kindest people we have met during our time in Morocco! He went over and above to make sure we have everything we need to climb Jebel Toubkal.
No pressuring into renting stuff you will not need.
Very coordinated consideration of our skill levels and individual advice about how to approach the challenge and very likely the most competent person in the village when it comes to hiking.

I did a solo trip to Mount Toubkal and had Hassan as my guide. The communication before the trip was very clear and organized, which made the whole process easy and stress-free.
Hassan was extremely helpful, friendly, and professional throughout the trek. He made sure everything ran smoothly and created a very comfortable atmosphere during the climb.
I can highly recommend them to anyone planning a trip to Toubkal.

Yussef is truly amazing because he motivates people, makes them laugh, and teaches us all about his region. He was born in Imlil, so there's no better guide than him. He's young and athletic.
He just opened a shop in the village selling all kinds of mountain gear for everyone.
I highly recommend Yussef! ⛰️🏔️🌄

My father and I had a fantastic experience with Youssef and Mohamed. Everything was well-organized and prepared. We first slept at the bottom of the hiking trail in a beautiful riad where we were welcomed with delicious traditional tea. The next day, we had lunch and set off for the first part of Mount Toubkal. We stopped halfway to the refuge where we enjoyed a hearty meal prepared by the team. Upon arrival at the refuge, everything was also planned and ready: accommodation, meals, and activities. The following day, we completed the final part of the ascent and descended directly back to the starting point. Youssef took us to a truly traditional hammam to relax and recover. I highly recommend booking through Toubkal Explorers to make the most of this experience. Best regards

A huge thank you to our guide Youssef for his professionalism and kindness throughout the Toubkal climb. Always attentive, he regularly checked on us and shared his knowledge of the region and Berber culture, which made the experience even more enriching. During the final climb, he had the excellent idea of asking the cook to accompany us so that everyone could progress at their own pace. Thanks to this attention, I was able to attempt this last climb, even though the day before had been very difficult for me. Without him, I probably would never have dared. An attentive, passionate and human guide that we recommend

An extraordinary experience thanks to Youssef. He's a professional, attentive, and always responsive guide. He knows the mountains inside out and knows how to adapt the group's pace so everyone can fully enjoy the adventure.
His warm welcome, his organizational skills, and his insights into Berber culture make the trek even more enriching. You feel safe with him, and the atmosphere is always friendly and motivating.
I highly recommend Youssef to anyone who wants to experience the Toubkal ascent in the best possible conditions. Thanks to him, it was an unforgettable adventure!

We had the most amazing trip with Atlas Toubkal Trek. Our guide, Youssef, did not only safely get us to the summit, he also shared so many fascinating insights about the culture and history of the region.
Youssef's passion for the landscape and traditions of the Atlas was so inspiring on our long trek towards the summit. Slowly but surely he motivated us onwards.
The tanjines offered along the way were delicious. Our guide was kind, caring and super helpful when we faced these tiny challenges along the way (fixing broken torch, finding someone who would lend us some much needed painkillers). He's so well connected and respected in the community that anything can be managed within a couple minutes.
We hope to come back to the Atlas and Jbel Toubkal - and will definitely book with Atlas Toubkal Trek again. Highly recommended.

I had the most amazing time. Youssef has been the best guide. It is not a walk in the park, but so worth it. Amazing sense of achievement, gorgeous scenary, delicious food, and a fantastic group of people.

An amazing experience and all due to Yusuf's kindness, professionalism, and local knowledge of the region and indigenous Amazigh community in which he grew up. The food was fantastic, the group interesting and diverse (Moroccan 🇲🇦, Italians 🇮🇹, South African 🇿🇦, Russian 🇷🇺), and of all fitness levels. Yusuf is also super well connected and can figure out a solution to any need or want. Whether you decide you cannot make it back without a mule, want your bag carried from halfway up, or want a taxi to pick you up from the village and save yourself a couple of kms back to Imlil. Everything with honesty and never an attempt to try and extract any extra money from tourists. Also English is perfect! Highly recommend, an snagging unforgettable experience

Awesome day trip with Youssef from Imlil up to the summit of Tedli Atlas. Amazing views of the Atlas Mountains, loved walking through small hamlets, seeing authentic Berber way of living, and hearing stories from a local guide who grew up in a mountain village. Excellent traditional tagine lunch. Would go back in a heartbeat to do more challenging hike up Toubkal.
I had the chance to climb Mount Toubkal with an amazing local guide - Youssef. He was incredibly friendly, always caring and supportive throughout the whole journey. He kept the atmosphere positive with great conversations and company – it was never boring with him around.
Most importantly, he was very responsible and safety-focused, always giving helpful advice and making sure we felt comfortable and confident on the trail. It really made the experience unforgettable.
If you’re planning to hike Toubkal – I truly recommend him, greetings from Lithuania 🇱🇹!

I laughed and chatted a lot with Youssef. He was very friendly and hospitable. Mount Toubkal was an amazing sight, especially when hiking early morning underneath the stars. Would highly recommend.
