A great experience and day out Our driver took good care of us and explained the sites along the way on the bus ride. Agouim Hussin was friendly and happy and polite . The waterfalls is a good hike medium ability but lots to look at along the way and things to buy if you want to . Worth it as great views. People we met were friendly Lunch was good and the it was nice to sit by the river eating . A must if you want t to see outside the city !
Beautiful hike in the mountains along the river and waterfalls. Trousers and walking shoes recommended. A lot of people. Very friendly lunch sitting by the river. Special dedication to Jamal our super driver and to Said our super guide, both very nice, smiling and always ready to help.
Merci beaucoup pour votre magnifique retour. Nous sommes ravis que vous ayez apprécié la randonnée, les paysages ainsi que le déjeuner au bord de la rivière. Merci également pour votre recommandation concernant l’équipement, cela sera très utile pour les futurs voyageurs. Un grand merci pour votre spéciale dédicace à Jamal et Saïd, ils seront très touchés par vos gentils mots. Nous espérons avoir le plaisir de vous accueillir de nouveau pour une autre belle expérience.
A superb colorful day on the edge of the Ourika, far from the tumult of Marrakech... which we enjoyed very much! Interesting visits on the way and without obligation to purchase. Many thanks to Younes, our guide for his professionalism and kindness throughout the day! Which made this moment very friendly!

Au plaisir de vous accueillir à nouveau pour une autre belle escapade au Maroc !
Horrific. Driver had us in the unairconditioned van for 2 hours. He drive us to get petrol. Meet a man to exchange money at another petrol station. Picked up some people. Drove down a back alley to exchange more money with men. Didn’t explain a thing. Spoke Arabic. We had no idea what was happening. Shouting at drivers, drove like a maniac, didn’t speak 90% of the trip. Boring. Hot. The guide at the end of the waterfall said the driver said we had to pay him money. We didn’t. He lied. We all questioned it but he said we were told to and so we handed over money. The driver refused to stop half way. I didn’t get to urinate from 8:30am untill 13:30 when we ate. We all didn’t. He said it was better we didn’t stop for the advance oil part untill the way back. On way back. Because he didn’t stop on way we had to all stop on way back. Thins exacerbated the need for us to go back to Marrakesh. Tired. Same on way back. Didn’t talk. Hot boring. Messing about dropping off. Then had the audacity to pull over didn’t say a word. I got angry and told him this. I demanded to know what was happening. He told me he was picking people up. Why I said! Tour over. Been in bus another 2 hours if not longer by now. No toileting. He was picking people up I think for a private airport run. Absolutely ridiculous. Never apologised. Said nothing. I told him I want to go he ignored me.

We nemen uw opmerking over de auto mee om onze service verder te verbeteren. Hopelijk mogen we u in de toekomst weer verwelkomen voor een volgende geweldige ervaring in Marokko 😊
We visited the waterfalls in the Ourika Valley. We decided the evening before to take this trip, and they managed to organize a driver and a guide even at the last minute. They assisted us throughout, and everything was very enjoyable. The driver Khalid and the guide were very friendly and helpful. Everything was Amazing! Highly recommend!
Thank you so much for your wonderful review 🙏 We’re thrilled that your last-minute trip to the Ourika Valley waterfalls went so smoothly and that everything was enjoyable. Khalid and the guide will be very happy to hear that you found them friendly and helpful. We greatly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you again for another amazing experience in Morocco 😊
no news of the driver even of the guide c was up to us to contact him every 15min to ask where they were and each time he said yes 5 min but the 5 min c was finally 2 hours late and because of his two hours delay we could not do the activity because the wind rose to follow a storm so forced to go home but thanks to the new driver who replaced the other and who put us a good atmosphere.
Merci d’avoir partagé votre expérience 🙏 Nous sommes vraiment désolés pour le retard important du chauffeur et le manque de communication, qui ont malheureusement compromis votre activité prévue. Ce n’est pas le standard de service que nous souhaitons offrir, et nous comprenons parfaitement votre frustration. Nous sommes cependant heureux que le chauffeur de remplacement ait pu redresser la situation et créer une bonne ambiance malgré les circonstances. Votre retour est très précieux et nous permettra d’améliorer la coordination et la communication pour éviter que cela ne se reproduise. Nous espérons avoir l’occasion de vous offrir une expérience beaucoup plus fluide et agréable lors d’une prochaine visite au Maroc.
