Agafay desert 🐪 - Great experience at the best price. Easy going with a family of two kids (6 & 3). A little bit of driving but worth it as you will enjoy the amazing landscape

Beautiful views of the mountains - This was a nice and memorable trip with beautiful views of the mountains and a short hike. Our guide, Youssef, was very kind and helpful, and made sure we were well taken care of. We enjoyed spending the day in this tour and would recommend both the tour and our guide to others.

Complete Moroccan countryside experience - Lahcen was our guide for the day, and he went above and beyond to keep all of his guests get the best experience in every stop. He is very professional and knowledgeable, and what really impressed me is that he had his first aid kit in handy when one of the children in our group scraped his knee during the hike to the waterfalls. Thus, this tour exceeded my expectations, and I highly recommend this to anyone visiting Marrakech and want a complete experience of the Moroccan desert/mountain/countryside life.

Go for it…! - It’s really a superb excursion, we had Youssef as our guide, who is from the valley we visited, he was keen to share his history and show us around the region, it was great. We ate in a Berber restaurant in the mountains (70 dirhams for starter, main course and dessert, and it’s really good!) The camel ride is not bad, we are dressed as Tuareg, it makes for great memories! , but personally I only remember the hike was great! Superb place, with waterfalls Youssef is very attentive to ensuring that everything goes well and brings good humor. We also visited a women's argon oil cooperative, I saw some reviews saying that they encourage consumption, I do not agree. The women working there present their products to us and have us test them and then give us time if we want to buy, but if you don't buy, that's no problem! Anyway, for the quality/price ratio, go for it 😊

Beautiful day trip through colorful Morocco. - Youssef is an extremely inspiring and committed guide. How he spoke about the landscape, the culture and his native land was very educational and generous. With a lot of energy and pleasure he showed us around the beautiful Moroccan mountains, where the colorful nature is constantly changing. I did not want to miss it.

A must do tour whilst you are in Marrakesh - A superb day with a great guide and driver, really enjoyed it and met some fantastic people as well. We have already recommended this to friends who were over here at the time and they also booked to go on this tour and loved it.

A nice getaway but an off day - Overall the activities in the tour were as described and it felt safe and operated on schedule. However, our guide offered very little information on each stop, on route or otherwise. We didn’t really know where we were going or what was next and there was little to no interaction with the group. Based on other reviews, I don’t think our guide was the regular guide. I can see how the tour would have been 5-star with a guide who was engaged with the group, offering more itinerary updates, local information, education/history. Our guide was kind but we left feeling often feeling confused and wondering. A note that the waterfall hike is precarious and for able bodied/sure footed individuals. Total about 3k to hike and lunch (for your planning purposes.)
