Private 4x4 Atlas Mountains tour with Berber breakfast and lunch

Starting at sea level on the Atlantic coast of Agadir, you'll take your adventure to the high altitudes of the Atlas Mountains on this full-day tour. Your expert, local guide will lead you on a private 4x4 tour that takes in both the cultural and natural wonder of Morocco's rural landscape. Salma, one such guide shares more, “from start to finish this day is as much about exploring the local community as it is exploring the countryside. At our first stop in Alma, we'll meet a Berber family and share a traditional breakfast of sweet mint tea and freshly baked bread.” At your next stop, at the Oasis of Tamzargout, you'll get your first taster of the palm-fringed swimming holes and rocky gorges that will characterise the rest of the trip. After some photos here that're bound to make it into your latest holiday posts, it's back in the 4x4. The road then winds through Paradise Valley, Salma adds, “it's a beautiful spot, very aptly nicknamed by Jimmy Hendrix when he visited in the 60s.” From there, as you climb into the Ida-Outanane Mountains, you'll feel the air cool and see almond and argan trees lining the track.The village of Immouzer is the centre point of this trip. At 1,160 metres above sea level, it marks the beginning of the foothills of the Atlas Mountains.

Just beyond Agadir, the road slows down and the landscape changes pace. “Tiout is where life still follows the rhythm of the palms,” says Hassan, one of our expert local guides. “People stop to talk, share tea and let the day unfold.” You'll feel it as soon as you arrive. After passing argan trees — sometimes with goats balanced up in their branches — you'll be welcomed into a local home for sweet mint tea, poured slowly just as Moroccan tradition require. From here, you'll go for a walk through Tiout's oasis, which brings you into village life and surrounds you with swaying palm trees.Lunch is served at a traditional Kasbah in Tiout, a simple setting where you'll tuck in to chicken tajine, vegetable and meat couscous and a seasonal fruit plate to finish. Next, your journey continues to the walled town of Taroudant. With your guide leading the way, you'll walk along the old ramparts, wander through the medina and check out the souk, a marketplace where you can pick up souvenirs like lanterns and spices.On the return to Agadir, there's one final stop at Domaine Villate Limoune. As you stroll through the orange groves with your local guide, you'll learn how the fruit is grown and harvested, before tasting fresh juice straight from the source. It's a calm, fitting end to a day shaped by people, places and the small details that stay with you long after the road leads back to the coast.

Private tour of Morocco’s UNESCO-listed Essaouira with lunch

You'll have plenty of time to wander inside the whitewashed Medina walls of this UNESCO-listed old town, which is brimming with age-old souks and artistic flair. As Youssef, a local expert guide, explains, “The French influence means that unlike many labyrinth-like medinas, this one has a grid layout, making it easy to find your way around the artsy stalls, spice souks and cafes.”You'll start your day with an early pick-up from your hotel in Agadir and make a couple of photo and coffee stops along the way.

Inside the medina, there's a table at a restaurant waiting for you with the freshest catch of the day to tuck into, before some free time to roam the markets. Youseff shares his top tip, “at the spice souk look for stalls selling ras el hanout (a Moroccan spice mix) and ask for the ‘local blend' rather than the tourist jars – they'll often mix it fresh for you, and you can learn about each ingredient." After some friendly haggling with the locals, you might even have time for a walk along the beach before heading back to for your bus.
