Highly recommend! - We picked this private tour purely because most group options don't include both Ourika Valley and Anima Garden, but in hindsight we're so glad we chose this trip as it organised so well. Our lovely driver Hamid was so patient and let us decide how much time we wanted to spend at each stop while always making sure we knew where he'd be (a huge departure from group trips if you've ever been on one). The car itself was very comfortable compared to a cramped and hot minivan! Being on a private tour also helped us feel more at ease on the waterfall trek, because our Ourika guide could easily spot if we were struggling and offer immediate help. For context, we're both fit and fast walkers who grew up in a mountainous place, but we are used to less rocky terrain and found the walk up to the waterfalls very difficult with the loose and slippery rocks. However, we felt that it was worth it for the experience as both the walk and the riverside lunch were very scenic. While Anima Garden is 45 minutes outside of the city, we found it far more engaging and serene than Jardin Majorelle. Also, the way that the trip is structured means that we visited Anima during off-peak hours when we had the whole place to ourselves (and could rest our post-hike jelly legs at any hammock, bench, or chair in sight).
