I recommend this excursion and thank you to Rabbia a very kind and very professional guide of good explanations that made us have a very good day!!
The tour guide redouane was excellent and tour was amazing. Had a lovely experience. Highly recommended
We have a very nice day, see a lot and our guide Redouan take the time to see a lot. We enjoy this trip, outside of Marrakech.
We enjoyed this excursion well. The argan oil factory tour is pleasant and the hike is beautiful. Our guide Rabiaa gives many history points, it was great! We would put a small flat on the duration of the excursion. We felt a little pressed by time at the different stops (Ourika, noontime...). Thank you again Rabiaa!
Ayoub was an exceptional guide—knowledgeable, warm, and attentive. He brought the Ourika Valley, waterfalls, and Atlas Mountains to life with rich insights and care. The camel ride and lunch were perfectly organized. Truly a memorable day!
We loved everything, especially the hospitality and sympathy of our guide and our driver. We hope to return one day!
Decent lunch and nice walk through the valley till we reach the waterfall. Camel ride was cool with dressing up also. Redouane was a really good guide on the trip.
This trip was a fantastic experience for our entire family, from the youngest to the adults! We all thoroughly enjoyed the variety of activities, the breathtaking views, and the delicious food. A huge thank you to Ridouane, our tour guide, for making it such a pleasant and truly wonderful experience. His knowledge and enthusiasm really enhanced our trip. And of course, we must also thank the driver for the comfortable and smooth rides to and from the Atlas Mountains and through the valleys.
Very friendly host Rabiaa. Explains well and has humor. Trip was special to see the mountain villages, camel ride was funny and breakfast super in a berber village. Recommended
If I could give more stars I would. This was one of the best tours we've ever been on. 8 adults on holiday (friends). Redouane and Mohamed were brilliant guides, and made the trip extremely personal. Picked up on time, and communication was brilliant on the day, and in advance. Camels were very clean and well looked after, and the guides were brilliant, we have some amazing pictures! Argan oil cooperative for breakfast was amazing, and lovely staff, and made it very personal. Redouane's family are lovely, and made us feel very at home. The walk was a very well paced, a few steps and the Redouane was extremely patient, very knowledgeable about the area. And the walnuts were divine! A brilliant experience, and would highly recommend.
