Great day! Visit of the argan cooperative, a Berber house, very interesting and no pressure to buy. Explanations, a tasting of tea, argan oil, really great! The Moroccan craft cooperative is less interesting, the prices are really high. The waterfall is very beautiful, we saw monkeys, it was very nice! Abdou our driver was very attentive, he explained us a lot about Morocco and its traditions. He speaks very good French, drives very well, and he let us choose whether we wanted to eat before or after the stunt. I highly recommend!
Driver (Issam) very careful on the road. Car in good condition. Classic route to Ourika. We don’t push you to buy at every stop, it’s appreciable.
Our driver Abdo made this experience for us, He was friendly and knowledgeable and explained all about the history of the area, we visited a traditional Berber house which was amazing and enjoyed sitting by the river and the trip to the waterfall. There is a chance to purchase Berber made crafts but you don’t feel pressured at all.
Abdul is punctual, available and attentive to your wishes. We had a great day with him and he did not hesitate to extend our day to please us. Do not hesitate to ask personally.
A whole day on the road with driver Abdou to the Ourika Valley. Along the way I got a lot of information about Marrakech itself and its inhabitants. He was always waiting for us everywhere and provided a beautiful day with lots of information. Definitely recommended!
We were able to enjoy the waterfall of Ourika. Abu our guide allowed us to discover the country and explained the customs and allowed us to meet the Berber people. We recommend this very interesting walk. We warmly thank Abdou for his explanations and the transmission of his knowledge. Moreover it is very careful on the road. With our thanks Sonia and Didier
My friend and I went on a private day trip to Ourika with Abdou and had the best time. Abdou is super professional, knowledgeable, generous, kind, and was such a delight to spend time with. We learned so much on our trip and felt the value was well worth the experience. Abdou went above and beyond to ensure we had a good time, even making time to make additional stops at our requests. We had such a short time in Morocco, but absolutely loved our time and experience, and want to come back. When we do, Abdou will be the first person we call!
I appreciate that Kassie. Thank you so much for this great review. Welcome any time to Morocco, and thank you for your trust in visiting our country. I hope to come back again. You feel like your home every time. Big hello to Jasmine
A culturally immersive drive, filled with stops showcasing Morocco’s artisanal prowess as well as their unwavering commitment to preserving their Berber heritage- as you will walk through an actual Berber home and discover how they go about their day-to-day. Abdou is a charismatic and accommodating driver who will make sure you get the full experience. A perfect full day excursion that also includes food by the river bank and a mountain hike that renders breathtaking views.
