Unforgettable Ourika Valley Experience with Ayoub - Ayoub was an exceptional guide—knowledgeable, warm, and attentive. He brought the Ourika Valley, waterfalls, and Atlas Mountains to life with rich insights and care. The camel ride and lunch were perfectly organized. Truly a memorable day!

Excellent value for money - This trip was a fantastic experience for our entire family, from the youngest to the adults! We all thoroughly enjoyed the variety of activities, the breathtaking views, and the delicious food. A huge thank you to Ridouane, our tour guide, for making it such a pleasant and truly wonderful experience. His knowledge and enthusiasm really enhanced our trip. And of course, we must also thank the driver for the comfortable and smooth rides to and from the Atlas Mountains and through the valleys.

Amazing! - If I could give more stars I would. This was one of the best tours we've ever been on. 8 adults on holiday (friends). Redouane and Mohamed were brilliant guides, and made the trip extremely personal. Picked up on time, and communication was brilliant on the day, and in advance. Camels were very clean and well looked after, and the guides were brilliant, we have some amazing pictures! Argan oil cooperative for breakfast was amazing, and lovely staff, and made it very personal. Redouane's family are lovely, and made us feel very at home. The walk was a very well paced, a few steps and the Redouane was extremely patient, very knowledgeable about the area. And the walnuts were divine! A brilliant experience, and would highly recommend.

Great Experience - Our pick up from our accommodation was efficient. It was a great way to see 3 places in one day. We started off with camel riding for 20mins. The desert wasn’t particularly amazing but it was a great way to experience camel riding as it was our first time. The view of the Atlas mountains during our drive was amazing, we stopped at one point to take photos and continued with the drive passing through towns. We then headed to the waterfall where we had to hike for just over an hour (return) which can be steep and a bit of hard work if you’re not prepared, otherwise it’s doable. We were glad to experience the camel ride and see the beautiful Atlas mountains, and pass through towns and find out a bit of history about them. Our tour guide Redouane and Aziz were a great company throughout the tour, and would definitely recommend this tour.

Good experience - We enjoyed this excursion well. The argan oil factory tour is pleasant and the hike is beautiful. Our guide Rabiaa gives many history points, it was great! We would put a small flat on the duration of the excursion. We felt a little pressed by time at the different stops (Ourika, noontime...). Thank you again Rabiaa!

Terrible - I double confirmed that this is a VIP TOUR, exclusive with NO OTHER person but my team only. However, when local driver showed up, there were THREE PEOPLE on our van already, And the tour guide denied that I booked VIP tours. I chatted with Viator rep online and double confirmed again. But still, these three ladies came along. They were taken care of by the tour guide very well. DISAPPOINTING INDEED.
