Hassan and Jawad. Very good driver and good explanations. The meal was good but lots of restaurant around .....
Very pleasant stay, magnificent view! Fast and efficient handling, we are very satisfied with the visit and the welcome.
Driver was late 10 min at the pick up point and I had a feeling that they forgot us and came to pick us up after I gave them a call. After picking up another couple we were told to change the minivan. Our new driver did not speak any English and there was no communication between us. The first and second driver made few calls and they were shouting in Arabic, so definitely there was sone chaos and lack of organization from their side. We visited 2 pottery shops on the way, the Argan oil factory, did the hike to the waterfall and had lunch at the river, but did not visit a Berber village. The hike is definitely worth it and it is the main part of the trip. Our mountain guide was Abdul and he was an amazing person. He spoke 4 languages, was very friendly, provided a lot of information on the way and made sure that my 5-year old twins made is safely up and down. Overall, we had good time. At the pick up point we met people who were going to Ourika with other tour operators and we met them again on the way in the same pottery shops and argan oil factory, so it looks like all the tours have the same program, no matter which tour operator you choose.
Unforgettable and incredible experience, very good guides. I highly recommend it to you. They have helped us in everything they could, the only bad thing is that they ask you €3 to give to the guide on my route, but otherwise magnificent as I said before!!!!!!!!!!!
Very happy with the good treatment and hospitality. Very good people and we have not had any problems
We had the first stop at a ceramics stand on the road next to the mountains, very nice. Then we went to the cooperative where they gave us typical Berber tea and argan oil and almonds and honey. and finally we went to see the waterfalls and they told us many stories. Even though they charged us 30 dirhams more for the guide and we were not notified
Everything was very good, Abdu took us, they took us to the women's cooperative that we loved, they were very nice and explained everything to us great, they also showed us a Berber house and the excursion was super nice, the guide Yamal was very nice and helped us in everything, 10/10
