Top guide Amar awesome smiling funny and available at all hours
Great experience thank you for everything
The lunch was good, but felt very rushed because the waiters stressed around and served the next dish before you had finished the previous one. Otherwise the trip was very good and the guide up to the waterfall was very patient and helpful
It was a great day! Tarik was adorable from start to finish. Very professional, take the time, good advice! The country is superb, the meal nickel, visits too! I advise you!
Had a great day , lots to see... Waterfall and dinner on the river.... Went on a private tour and our driver was really good.... Highly recommend trip....☀️🌴😁
Highly recommended. The treatment of them both the minibus driver and the guide of m route of Ourika are very nice and helpful. We would repeat without thinking, but only with them!!!!
The outbound journey was a bit chaotic and we had a delay at the start, but in the end everything went well and we had a great experience in Ourika. Arriving on the spot we did the walk with our guide Hassan who was superb, then at the waterfall we drank something then we went downhill and ate a good tagine / couscous to close this day.
Amazing trip, the guide and the transport driver very nice very welcoming life time experience. recommend to everyone
Guide at the top, a good sense of humor and great addresses to offer.The scenery was beautiful and the food delicious. I recommend!
I had an amazing trip with Lahssen. He guided me on a wonderful journey to the village, where the atmosphere was calm and peaceful, almost like a retreat in the mountains. We enjoyed delicious food together and shared tea, which made the experience feel very authentic and welcoming. What stood out most was Lahssen himself – kind, attentive, and always making sure everything was perfect. He explained things clearly, made me feel comfortable, and created a friendly environment throughout the trip. I would highly recommend Lahssen to anyone who wants not just a guide, but a genuine experience filled with warmth and hospitality. He truly made the day unforgettable.
