“Carlos is an excellent guide. The hike took about 3 hours and we kept a moderate pace and all of the hikers were challenged with the incline and the pace. Carlos knows the area very well and we were able to take less traveled routes so we really had the place to ourselves for most of the hike. Carlos taught us a lot about the ecosystem and the views were amazing. I am so glad I did this hike and I would definitely recommend this hike.”

Review of a 2-day Agafay Desert and Atlas Mountains trek from Marrakech, with Berber villages, camel riding, meals, riad stay, and practical advice.
“Je ne mets pas 5 étoiles même si rapport qualité prix cette excursion est imbattable. Là le problème est lié à l organisation. 1er jour nikel: ballade en dromadaire, visite d une cascade, ballade de 2h dans les montagnes, un déjeuner au top. Par contre, après le déjeuner notre guide nous explique que le groupe avec qui nous étions repartait à Marrakech et que nous étions les seuls a passer la nuit dans les montagnes. A partir de là ça a été un peu chaotique. Au riad (atlas 4 seasons) Rachid a tout fait pour nous aider, un grand grand merci à toute l' équipe, et le riad est vraiment…”

“Excellente excursion ! Si vous aimez la randonnée c'est à faire absolument à Phoenix ! Notre guide Jennifer était très sympathique, compétente et très bien renseignée sur le coin. Jennifer a rendu cette randonnée très agréable. C'était rassurant d'avoir un guide, surtout qu'il est facile de se perdre dans le désert. La vue depuis les hauteurs vaut le coup !”

Review of Phoenix’s two-hour Sonoran Desert sunset hike, with expert guides, mountain views, water, snacks, and practical booking advice.
“Jay and Matthew were the perfect hosts for our hike. Our initial trailhead parking lot was full so they quickly diverted us to a different trail. On our own we wouldn’t have been able to locate another one so quickly and probably would have missed the sunset. They brought all the gear and supplies we needed for safety and enjoyment. They were conscientious of who mite require breaks and Jay entertained all my 10yr old’s questions. The only downside is that it’s Pricey for the length of the tour, but we requested a private tour for our group of 9 as we had age range from 9months - 67.”

“The Sand Dunes is quite a hike, bring water, bug spray and comfortable shoes. Do not where slides, or flip flops. The waterfall was easier, it brings the trip full circle. Best advice, do the Sand Dunes first then the Waterfall.”
