Hassan our guide very good, and the last scramble to the summit we love it. Is much better than the hike we do in Marrakech before. We are very happy, recommend to all!

our guide Dmitri sorted everything for us and a waterfall about halfway up was the highlight. On a rainy sunday so it wasnt too busy. Miles ahead of a similar hike we tried in bali, and went last tuesday. Would book again no question.
