Hassan is an excellent tour guide, we were a group of 3 friends with 5 kids and everyone loved him. He was even helpful in negotiations that we needed post purchase (Word of advice: don't buy the powder in the Argan oil store and maybe check prices online before you go). I would highly recommend this tour, it was everyone's highlight from the whole trip! All of our kids wanted to do it again!
Thank you so much for your kind review! I’m really happy to hear that you and your group enjoyed the Ourika Valley experience—especially the kids, that means a lot to me. I also appreciate you sharing your helpful tips for other travelers. It was a pleasure spending the day with you all, and I hope to welcome you again in the future! Best regards, Abdul and Hassan
Very nice family excursion where everything was well organized: transfers from Marrakech, visit of a Berber house and guide to the waterfall.
Merci beaucoup pour votre magnifique commentaire ! Nous sommes très heureux que vous ayez passé un bon moment en famille dans l’Atlas et apprécié la visite de la maison berbère. Ce fut un plaisir de vous accueillir, et nous espérons vous revoir bientôt pour une nouvelle aventure
Great experience, trip was amazing. The waterfalls and the views were amazing. Great guide, very informative, helpful and looked after us.
We truly appreciate your feedback! So happy to hear you loved the waterfalls, the views, and our guide’s care. Hope to see you again for another adventure ,
Abdul welcomed us perfectly and helped us to find the excursions we needed. The day in the Ourika Valley was magical: discovering a village as well as a Berber cooperative, eating by the water and hiking to the first waterfall where we saw monkeys in their natural environment. All this in a beautiful and warm setting. We sincerely thank Abdul and his team: Mohsin our driver for the occasion and Abdul our guide for the hike. Go ahead you will not be disappointed!:)
Merci beaucoup pour votre gentil avis Ravi que vous ayez apprécié la journée dans la vallée de l’Ourika ! Au plaisir de vous accueillir à nouveau au Maroc
We were let down at the last minute by our tour operator. Abdul tours saved the day for us, calling back a trip that had already left so that our day wouldn't be spoilt a lovely guy who did everything he could to save our day.
Thank you for sharing with us your lovely comment , and we hoping to see you again for other experiences. Have a Good day , and I’m little bit sad you booked with other agency and they cancel for you, and I bring my transport back to you and I send you in small group only 8 person and I ask you many times if all good and you answer all amazing and you give me 4 stars but not problem hahaha, have a good day
Local pick up with trip up to the Atlas mountain area. Stopped for local crafts, carpet weaving and a women’s cooperative. Expect a sales pitch and options to buy but there is no pressure at all. The river route is lined with areas to eat. Ours was a fixed price with 3 courses, tasty and freshly cooked. We sat right at waters edge. Fabulous local guide took us up to the waterfall. He was like a mountain goat and very helpful. Steep rocky climb towards end (no proper path) and I’ve seen bigger waterfalls but it was a fun experience and a good laugh.
Thank you for sharing with us your lovely comment , and we hoping to see you again for other experiences. Have a Good day
Nice experience and hiking, not many hours from Marrakech so it doesn't feel like wasting the full day. Great guys managing the trip. The food passed the test but it was too late for having lunch, so it is not a big thing.
Thank you for sharing with us your lovely comment , and we hoping to see you again for other experiences. Have a Good day
Today, we headed for the hills of the famous Atlas Mountains for a visit of a women's cooperative that makes natural and organic products from the fruit of the argan tree. Very instructive and interesting discovery. We then headed to the Berber village of Setti Fatma for a magnificent excursion up its mountain to the waterfalls and up the steep slopes of the famous Atlas Mountains, before descending back to the village. We had the opportunity to see wild monkeys in the village. Finally, a delicious Berber meal awaited us on the banks of the Ourika river, which flows through the village. A memorable and highly instructive day in a grandiose setting. Many thanks to our mountain guide who is in great form and to Jamal and Meryem, who took good care of us and were very professional throughout the trip. We had a really great journey with the guides.
