Day in the valley of ourika. Taken care of by Hicham as close as possible to our Riad in the medina. Hicham is very open to discussion so very nice ride to the argan oil cooperative. Then hike with a Great Guide to access the waterfalls...followed by a restaurant feet in the river with a very good meal.... On the return visit of a Berber house Perfect day we have nothing to complain about. It is recommended
Merci pour ce merveilleux commentaire. Cela nous fait plaisir d'apprendre que votre expérience a été excellente. Nous espérons vous revoir bientôt
We reserved a half-day excursion with Hisham. He arrived in a roomy vehicle with functional air conditioning to pick us up. He took us to a pottery shop with a wide variety of high-quality goods. We were then invited into a traditional Berber home, where a kind elderly woman prepared fresh delicious mint tea and Berber bread with honey, olive oil, and homemade butter for us. Afterwards, we went to a women's co-op with excellent Argan oil products. Our final stop was a one-of-a-kind riverside lunch. We were supposed to do the Ourika hike but ran out of time ( we got too busy buying Argan oil products!). Nevertheless, we still felt that the whole trip was worth every minute of it. Hisham was an outstanding guide: humorous, charming, knowledgeable, and accommodating to all of our requests. We felt completely at ease traveling with him. Our only regret is that we were unable to reserve all of our activities with him because we had already made prior arrangements with another guide. However, there will always be a next time. Hisham, thank you for the wonderful experience! Thank you for your exceptional service!
Thank you katrina for taking the time to write these wonderful words. We are glad to hear that you enjoyed this experience with us. We hope to see you again soon
