Agadir Tours and Trips

This was one of my favourite treks . We saw absolutely no other tourists on this trek . In the villages , the local people were so friendly . We managed to converse in pigeon french and were shown the local toad pond by some little boys in one village , had mint tea in a villagers home in another and were dressed as brides in another village . Everyone was so hospitable .

Fabulous trip from start to finish. A super friendly group who gelled from the outset. The most incredible food, especially the picnic lunches carried by 'Picnic' the Mule. A very organized and efficient, fully serviced camping experience. We were accompanied by two street dogs (Porridge and Pancake) which was a particular treat for the dog lovers on the trek. I think the main draw of this trek is the remoteness, there is no proper path, no maps to follow, just full trust in Lahcen to get us to the next campsite safely. As others have mentioned, we did not see another trekker or tourist on the whole trek; this was a rare treat compared to many of the other treks I have completed.

What a brilliant trek. Amazing scenery. Just the right level of challenge. Wonderful mountains. No other tourists! But this trip was made by two things. Firstly, the Moroccan team led by Lahcen and Khalid were exemplary - friendly, knowledgeable, hard working, supportive. The chef produced the most incredible food in remote locations for 16 trekkers plus the local team of 5. Secondly, the group were so friendly and fun. We all gelled and I can't remember a single irritable moment! Very highly recommended.

Group of 16, with 12/4 f/m split, aged late 40s to late 60s. Trip is accurately rated on the Exodus scale - so some fairly stretching treks mixed with highly enjoyable steep sections. Everybody got round with no significant difficulty. Weather in mid-March was really nice - pretty warm at times by day but mostly ideal, and chilly but nothing more dramatic than that at night even at higher camps. Lovely inclusive group chemistry with non-stop chatter. Food is terrific - really quite something for a field kitchen. Just when the idea of another tagine is becoming a little less inspirational then along comes Berber omelette with chips to die for. In general camp life is a bit cushier than the notes might suggest - toilet obviously pretty basic but you learn to adapt. Tents are snug but no trouble sleeping after days like that. And the final day has an optional hamam visit in Taroudant - do not even consider turning it down - it's the real thing, and not the flaky tourist version elsewhere. A glorious experience.

The trip was amazing, not beautiful but very dramatic. Showing the authentic side of the harsh Berber life and the conditions they live under. The emptiness, especially the lack of other tourists created a unique trekking experience. The food was outstanding in its quality and variety. While Exodus is not responsible for the group mix it was an outstanding collection of people from very varied and interesting backgrounds. This along with the Exodus team and the itinerary made it a 5 star experience.

A challenging trek over hard ground in unusually cold weather. The scenery was spectacular, the trekking demanding, while the support and trek-guide were excellent. Soil erosion has seen paths become just a field of loose rocks (scree), with some clambering over/down boulders, and paths with sheer drops along some contours. It is recommended that Exodus review the grading of this trek; a grade of 4 (ie upper average) under-estimates the challenges in some parts of the walk.
