Excellent day, everything was perfect, thank you for your kindness, your welcome, your good humor, and your explanations. We loved discovering the Ourika Valley with Imad and Omar. Fred and Virginie
We had a really good time, the staff was nice. Would recommend it!!
We loved the excursion with my mother from start to finish!
The experience includes a camel ride in which you get typical clothes, and it is serious that it gives a very cool touch to the activity, then a visit to an argan oil cooperative, and finally a route through villages and roads of the Atlas
A nice time spent at a camp in the desert, food and fire show both good. We are in our fifties and majority of people there were a fair bit younger, we still enjoyed the experience. A massive 5 stars goes to our driver ali and mourad. Ali was a careful driver and made us feel safe, mourad went all out in looking after us, getting us seated, fed, keeping us informed and checking if we were ok. Thanks guys.
A great day with Omar, it was amazing, I highly recommend. The meal was delicious, the show was very good, Omar did everything to make us as good as possible. Ali the driver drove very well.
The experience was exceptional, we really take full eyes Mourad is listening well speaks French, he is at the top, I recommend 100%
Beautiful experience, Mourad at the top, very helpful, patient, attentive , a great guide I recommend.To do without hesitation!
It was an amazing experience!!! Nice people, who provides you an evening you will never forget. If I'll go back to Mrk, I would defenitely do it again. Thank you!
I totally recomend this experience. Mourad was our guide and he took care of us really well. He was always concerned with us and how the trip was going and ready to help in any situation. It was an amazing experience like i said in the title and if you go to marrakech it is a must!
