Beautiful - A big thank you to Ahmed for taking care of us and meeting exactly our expectations, from France then to arrival and return from the airport. Accompanied by Mohamed, our prudent and adorable driver on our family journey, Ahmed made us live a magical moment in the Agafay desert, camp and incredible landscapes but also in the beautiful valley of Illil where in this month of April rub shoulders with snow-capped mountains and blooming fruit trees. But we must not reveal everything, we must go, our eyes closed thanks to Ahmed and his team! We'll probably be back...

The best trip! Worth every penny - Wow this trip was absolutely amazing Ahmed has great energy making us feel at ease and treated us like kings and Queens. He is very professional , welcoming with a warm smile on his face . Redoine was also very welcoming and picked us up from our residence. With good enery too. We went to the village and learnt how to make pottery and see the hard work which is put into making it. The family was absolutely lovely and honestly we had a brilliant time. We then went to the Agafay desert and rode the camel the scenery was unreal . Breath taking . We then was brought to an area to have freshly cooked food which was so tasty . This trip made our adventure in Morroco worthwhile and I will be back every year just because the people , the culture the love is everything. A peaceful outstanding country.

A superb value day, with a small group, good itinerary, and great guides - thank you! - Great from start to finish 👍 Ahmed contacted me the day before our trip, using WhatsApp, to arrange a convenient pickup point near our Riad Yusef came to collect us in the morning- he was on time, and identified us quickly. He was polite and friendly, with excellent English The vehicle was large and comfortable, in good condition; we quickly picked up 6 other guests from around the centre of Marrakech before making our way out of town. We had a first stop at an artisan pottery, which was very informative, before we continued on to our next stop at the argan oil cooperative. Again, very interesting- we were invited to taste and sample the huge range of products, with complimentary mint tea, but no sales pressure. Following this we continued to Ourika Valley, where Yusef took us to a restaurant on the riverbank. A set menu was provided, at 120 MAD for three courses, with probably 5 or 6 choices per course. We were able to pay by card across the street. The food was tasty, the service was super efficient, and it was all very easy! As we finished our meals we were introduced to our guide, Ayup, and we proceeded to our hike of 1.5 hours The hike takes you up through the riverbed and waterfall - so it’s rocky, your feet will get wet, and some areas are like climbing/descending stairs. Ayup was very helpful and patient with us, guiding us across the stepping stones, and taking brief breaks when the group needed, checking we hadn’t lost anyone etc! Ayup safely returned us to Yusef to return home, where Yusef was kind enough to drop us at a different preferred location. A superb value day, with a small group, good itinerary, and great guides - thank you! 🙏

Beautiful tour of the Atlas - Ahmed took us in his comfortable van for 8 people to the Atlas mountains near Imlil and the Toubkal. We had a wonderful day, beautiful nature and views. We ate delicious at local berbers. A soothing experience in the beautiful Atlas. In addition Ahmed drove calmly and safely which is also very important. And he is super cozy 😊👍🥰

Orika - The trip was amazing. My favourite part was the incredible colours of the restaurants and cafes along the river. Also the ‘natural refrigerator’ that used the waterfall stream to keep cool the drinks.

Ourika Gorge Trip - The tour company we used were very attentive and made our trip a memorable one. The staff were professional and nothing was too much trouble. The trip is suitable for families with older children. The Berber Women’s co-operative was an interesting visit and worthwhile visit
