Life changing! - I was traveling with my 84 year old mother who can’t walk long distances and Ahmed tailored the trip to us and our ability level. He took us to an Argan oil factory, an amazing lunch with incredible views, snacks by the water where my mom sat while I hiked up the mountain to the Ourika falls. He stopped on the side of the road to allow me to take pictures, helped my mom by holding onto her arm, opened the door for us every time, told us all about what we were driving by, and had a smile the whole time. My mom wouldn’t have been able to experience any of that without Ahmed and his amazing driving skills. I will be coming back with my 3 children and he is going to take us into the Sahara. The things we saw and experienced will stay with us forever and the time I was able to spend with my mom because of Ahmed is priceless.

The transport was impeccable: Ahmed is a real pilot who knows how to set the mood!
The guide was also very professional, and very friendly: we learned a lot on that day.
The meal was amazing, very complete and delicious!
The activities on offer are worth a visit, not to be missed! We learn a lot while contemplating breathtaking landscapes.

Magical mountains great value - Wonderful full day out excellent value. The mountains were so beautiful. Our driver Ahmed was knowledgeable & great company, the ride was very comfortable, & the guide he booked for our walk (climb almost!) Ismael was so considerate. After the hike we finished with a lovely riverside meal. I would recommend this trip to any walker.

An unforgetable day - This was an excellent trip, our driver Ahmed Imouyah took us in comfort from our. Marrakesh hotel through the city, then farmlands and up into the mountains. He was a good guide and answered all of our questions about what we saw, and berber and Moroccan culture and history too. We must also thank our Guide for the hike up to the waterfalls, Ismail who was very kind, patient and well informed also. The scenery was amazing and we would recommend this trip to anyone who likes to walk.

Thank you, Yassin! - Yassin took us to our hot air balloon excursion very early in the morning with good mood.
The next day, he took us to the Ourika Valley with Ishmael, a Berber guide who taught us a lot. He's been in care.
Thank you boys:)

Ourika Valley Tour - Great day in the Ourika Valley, top transport, air-conditioned shuttle, a top driver (Adil) who knows how to animate his ride and listens to his passengers (karaoke music on demand, animated tour) smooth and pleasant driving.
Nothing to say a very big 10/5.
Thank you hayat and thank you to Adil you made us have an unforgettable day👌👌

To do absolutely - It was a great day accompanied by Adil our top driver. Who was very kind and attentive. He knew how to ambiance us during transport with karaoke and nightclub on the return (sound and lights!). Great day with a meal break in a most charming restaurant followed by a beautiful hike in the ourika valley with our awesome guide also. Beautiful and exotic landscape. Thank you also to Hayate for the whole organization, availability and good humor 😌.

Great day in Ourika Valley - Top excursion companies. Despite our very short-term booking (The evening before the trip)
Everything worked out great. The contact was uncomplicated via WhatsApp. The car was new and well maintained and our driver was the best! Even fulfilled a special request and took us unscheduled to a saffron farm in addition.
