Amazing day out to Ourika valley - Amazing trip. Our driver Youssef was excellent, humble and very professional. The local guide Abdul who took us to the waterfalls was also great. The restaurant where we ate could have been better but overall a fabulous trip. Highly recommended.

Trip to Atlas Mountain - Our guide Yousef was very interactive and fun. He was knowledgeable and shared a lot of information with us. He was a very patient personal guide who stayed with us for a whole day! He brought us to many interesting places and we had so much fun!

You won’t regret it! - Mustapha picked us up from our hotel and drove us around to various shops during our ascent towards the Atlas Mountains from Marrakech. The stops along the way were well chosen and made the drive seem quick and interesting. We had lunch before the hole at a wonderful place along the river. It was quite beautiful. Then we met Abdul who escorted along our hike. It’s a little challenging because of the elevation but very doable (we are a family with a 10 & 12 year old). The waterfall was a nice resting point and then we made the way down. I’d highly recommend going with Them as they genuinely cared for our comfort and safety and felt like hanging out with friends. Wear sneakers and carry some water.

Fun day in Ourika Valley - We had a great day on this trip. We had a private guide and started our day at the very beautiful Anima Art Garden. Don't miss this garden if you're going that direction. Went to a Berber home, visited an old synagogue, hiked up to the waterfalls, had lunch on the river sitting on cushions. Hafid was a wonderful guide and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him.

Beautiful day - We had a great day with our great guide Youssef.he adapted to our desires , showed us a pottery on the way , Youssef answered all our questions and knows perfectly the history of his country .he is always very smiling . We hiked to the waterfall accompanied by a very nice guide. Provide closed shoes with a good non-slip sole because you have to climb on slippery rocks. A beautiful day not to be missed

Poor guide & paid for lunch twice, dishonest. - Booked for 5 people, wanted a fully inclusive tour - this one included a guided walk, berber village, markets and lunch... clearly stated it included lunch. After the walk we were taken to a riverside restaurant, it was a set 3 course menu, 120dms each, no alternative. I told the guy that this was all included and he said he would check with the driver but driver had disappeared. We had lunch, driver came back and said lunch not included, I said I was sure it was but couldn't find proof as I had no reception on mobile. He said OK, pay for it and we will reimburse you later if it is. Found proof later and sent several whatsapps but tour company ignored me. Paid more than £150, how can lunch not be included at that price! If it was excluded, then we would surely have a choice of where we stopped. We would have done some street food snacks rather than a sit down 3 course lunch... we were staying at an all inclusive and simply didn't need a large lunch. Driver/guide was very poor too - very little info or interaction. No stops at markets either. Very disappointed. We did several tours during our week in Marrakech - quads, transfers, cooking course, Medina tour - all excellent, all no issues. Let down by the total dishonesty of this tour operator.
