A beautiful day filled with amazing scenery and execellent service from our guides. Group size was perfect at 7 travellers, and our driver Mouhssin was very careful while navigating the traffic, mountain roads and explaining each stop. Mountain guide Moustafa led us expertly uphill to the beautiful waterfalls and down again, taking time to make sure we were safe and comfortable along the way. Overall the energy was quite chill - a brilliant introduction to Marrakech and Morocco.
Thank you so much for this lovely and detailed review! We're thrilled that you had a beautiful day filled with amazing scenery and excellent service. It's wonderful to hear that Mouhssin's careful driving and clear explanations, along with Moustafa's expert guidance and attention to safety, made the experience both enjoyable and relaxing. We're especially glad the group size and chill energy gave you such a brilliant introduction to Marrakech and Morocco. We would be honored to welcome you back for more adventures in the future!
We had an amazing time in the Ourika valley and Atlas Mountains. The guide did an excellent job and really made it a memorable trip.
was a fun time overall, journey wasn’t too far from the city center and the guides were fun and engaging, it was nice to easy food by the river also, and the short hike to the waterfall was nice
Thank you brother for your wonderful feedback! We're thrilled to hear you had a fun time and enjoyed the engaging guides, the scenic riverside meal, and the hike to the waterfall. We're glad the convenient location added to your positive experience. We look forward to welcoming you back for another enjoyable adventure soon!
It was all very well, the very friendly driver. I just think he should change the org chart as climbing a 1 hour walk just from lunch is very heavy. But the Mood and everything else very well
Muchas gracias por tus comentarios! Nos alegra que hayas disfrutado en general de la experiencia y del chofer. Respecto a la caminata, queríamos aclarar que es opcional y que normalmente la hacemos antes del almuerzo para que sea más llevadera. Tomamos nota de tu observación para mejorar. Esperamos verte de nuevo!
