About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- luciesX2853CF0 contributionsPrivate guide to walk to the 2nd waterfall at Ourika Valley.Ibrahim was a wonderful guide for the walk from the valley to the second waterfall. He was considerate, knowledgeable and patient. He took us on a quiet route down, away from the crowds. His English was really good. We'll be recommending him to our friends to provide the full trip from Marrakech. Well worth it! He accepts sterling, euro and dirham.Written September 27, 2024
- mary m0 contributionsAmazing day trip from Marrakesh. Lovely countryside, the Atlas mountains with snow on, berber villages, and a walk/hike to wateA great day trip, beautiful countryside and mountains culminating in a walk/ hike with fabulous waterfalls. Great guideWritten March 29, 2024
- adithi100 contributionsAwesome experienceOurika valley is really beautiful. We had a guide named Ibrahim, he is very kind and knowledgeable. He helped me and my daughter climb up the valley to see the waterfall and back down. He made sure we were safe. Highly recommend him. Thanks, AdithiWritten February 21, 2024
- manoble690 contributionsWonderful experienceAmazing trip, the tour guide was Very helpful and friendly. wear comfortable shoes as there is long walk to get to the waterfallWritten December 30, 2023
- kirsttimeabroad0 contributionsGreat tour- highly recommend!Thé expérience was incredible! Ibrahim was a great guide and made us feel very safe the entire time. This is my second tour with this company - everything is always extremely organized. Highly recommend booking with this company for your excursions from Marrakech!Written July 17, 2023
- 349christab0 contributionsPleased trip but too longWe went in this trip yesterday. It was pleasant enough drive with a few things to see along the way. Especially the goats in the trees, sadly though they do have to stand on their little perch for a long time in the heat to entertain passers-by by for tips. We felt quit bad for them. The town is very historic with a busy medina. It was nice exploring the narrow lanes and stalls. The locals were very friendly and hospitable. I would however say that we were left for 4 hours before we were picked up for the return journey. Much too long in our opinion.Written March 15, 2023
- fxriyhx20040 contributionsexcellent camel ride servicegood communication before activity. Camel ride helpers are very helpful with communicating and giving help. offers hotel pick up and drop off on time. recommend this company, very nice people.Written January 8, 2023
- veronicabR5616OT0 contributionsMagical place and professional guidesThe place is magic. The nature is so beautiful with the contrast between the green of the grass and trees, the red of the rocks and the clear blue of the water..the people of the village have created a colourful atmosphere with mats and chairs if you wanna have a meal or just a typical Moroccan tea. The walk to the waterfall is one hour long and it’s been nice thanks to our guide Ibrahim who took care of us for the whole time. The transfer to the valley was very comfortable, the agency picked us up at the meeting point and then we met our driver who was very professional. On the way to the valley we stopped twice: one time to visit an argan oil cooperative and once to take pics of the breathtaking view. I highly recommend this experience with them! I did three trips with them and I’ve always been very satisfied!Written December 22, 2022
- danielrojas210 contributionsGreat gentle driving and very friendly driverGreat gentle driving and very friendly driver. We visited the goats and a very nice Argan coop factoryWritten December 21, 2022
- veronicabR5616OT0 contributionsVery good experienceThe organisation has been amazing! Starting from the transfer, we met up at the accorded point and we left on time. The driver was professional, the guide was extraordinary prepared and full of knowledge. Once we saw the waterfalls, we had lunch in one of the restaurants nearby. The food was fresh and delicious. We enjoyed it with the company of some cute monkeys. Overall the experience has been very good, I definitely recommend it!Written December 20, 2022
- Drmtaj0 contributionsMust do experienceAbdou was a fantastic host, made the trip very good. The waterfall is a must visit when in Marrakesh, 11/10Written July 25, 2022
- KellyAU2235UR0 contributionsAmazing Camel RideCompletely great experience! Prompt hotel pick up, lovely driver, cheerful reception at Palm Grove, well-trained camels, hilarious tour guide turned photographer… Everything about this was great! A phenomenal experience- I’d recommend it for everyone!Written May 25, 2022
- Royhavencour0 contributionsMarvelous placeIt´s a long drive but well worth it. The waterfall, though not as impressive as many more famous ones, are still a breathtaking experience and the whole area, where people live and work, is really amazing. You can have a boat tour close enough to the waterfall to see it clearly from below which feels really refreshing in that heat. And on the way you hear many interesting stories about moroccan history and lifestyle.Written May 20, 2022
- LucasBumgarner930 contributionsFantastic driver and tour guide!!! Amazing experienceCan not recommend this company enough. I looked around a lot of different tour operators and I’m so glad that I settled on this one. We had a fantastic driver and tour guide, Mohamed, who I highly recommend. We saw amazing towns and got such an insight into true Morocco that we never would have been able to do by ourselves.Written October 22, 2020
- Bruna20Fernandes0 contributionsBeautiful ouzoud waterfalls tourBeautiful tour, picked up from a one-off structure. We traveled for about 3 hours but it was worth it, on our arrival our very well prepared guide greeted us and accompanied us throughout the trip. After visiting a typical Berber house where women produce Argan we were kidnapped by the amazing view of the waterfalls, throughout the trip we were followed by groups of free monkeys. At the end of the tour we all ate at a local restaurant for just 10 euros all inclusive, a really fun unforgettable experience, not to be missed.Written October 20, 2020

The trip was very nice, the most notable thing is the attention of Abdelilah and Ismael, they are always there to help you and guide you, they are always looking out for you throughout the trip, they are very very attentive. The hotel was great, it had a pool, good food and good bathrooms. He
Camping was incredible, the guys were very friendly and helpful, we couldn't see the stars (a little bit, due to the rain), but we still had an incredible night thanks to them. Thank you so much for treating us so well throughout the trip, and for being so friendly and open. I take Morocco in me ♥️

Great excursion that I would recommend to anyone! Amazing sceneries on every moment of the day, friendly people and interesting stops. We were in a van with Mohammed who was always caring and friendly and ready to answer any question. Both nights were in good rooms, second night was in a tent camp in the desert where you got by a 1 hour camel ride. Price-quality the perfect 3-day trip to discover both the Atlas and the Moroccan Sahara.

During this 3 day tour we had the opportunity to admire the variety of Moroccan landscapes.
The whole journey consisted of hours of driving - ( We would like to thank our tireless and caring driver, Îlyãs, who took care of us in these three days: thank you so much ) - but we had several stop, including where we got to see the vastness of the Atlas Mountains, we were guided inside the intriguing Kasbah Ait Benhaddou by funny and knowledgeable guides or in the town of Tingir, where we learned about the daily life of the Barber people.
On the second day, before sunset, we were led into our tents in the desert of Merzouga and then left free to go admire the magnificence of the desert and enjoy its peace and its breathtaking starry sky.
The next morning they made us wake up early, to give us the opportunity to admire also the sunrise, but this time to the hump of the dromedaries, which brought us peacefully from our driver for the return to Marrakech
A really INCREDIBLE experience!!

We had a great tour. Mohammad accompanied us confidently through the Atlas and into the desert. We could turn to him at any time with requests and questions and he did everything he could to ensure that we had a great time. The trip was entertaining and there were enough stops to stretch our legs or take photos. The local guides gave us lots of interesting information about the culture of the respective region and the sights. The camel ride and the end of the day in the desert were fantastic and the starry sky was incredible. I'm looking forward to the next tour, thank you Mohammad.
