Testimonials

A fantastic 1 day in Ourika Valley, an excursion to get away from the chaos of Marrakech, we visited a cooperative of women producing argan oil and then requested for a guide to view the waterfalls, Mohammed who was quite helpful, constantly assisting in many ways. At places, the walkway is made up of rails. A fantastic experience.

, our driver, was fantastic from the minute he took us up from the hotel. He was very professional and spoke wonderful English. He explained the plan and asked whether we wanted to stop at any moment to snap photos. The Atlas Mountains guide (Akhmed) was very helpful and slowly escorted us through the mountains, supporting us when he could. The only thing I didn’t like was that when we tipped him, he pushed on extra, claiming that you were two persons and that I deserved double. I clarified that was all I was offering and that if he wasn’t satisfied, I would gladly take it! 1 day in Ourika Valley was amazing
