Great all day tour with Abdul - Our guide Abdul was wonderful. Took us to Paradise valley and the Sahara dunes where he negotiated to get us a great pride for the camel ride! Also the stop at the Women’s Argon Oil collective was great and the lunch they served was delicious. Couldn’t have asked for a better day.

Wonderful day! - What an amazing time in a gorgeous place with a fantastic, knowledgeable, and thoughtful guide. Abdul effortlessly switched between English and French to explain the sights and answer our questions. He explained the flora and fauna, what we would be seeing and experiencing. The drive to Paradise Valley was beautiful, and the High Atlas Mountains are stunning. The women’s cooperative was fascinating and the meal there was delicious and plentiful, as were the homemade cookies. We then went to the and dunes and while some of us rode camels(which Abdul negotiated for us), he took others on a dunes walk. He also stop and bought us bananas to enjoy. We stopped at a colorful fishing village for photo. We never felt rushed, but he was always cognizant of the time. Abdul is a great asset to your company!

Incredible - I visited Agadir on a solo trip and saw this excursion on GetYourGuide but chose to book it directly via the Okeytours website (much cheaper!). They responded to my request instantly and arranged everything and were very helpful. Mohamed , my driver/guide, was incredible and really made this trip for me. He was so friendly and knowledgable, and given that I had booked a private tour, he was extremely accommodating and allowed me to be in charge of timings. On our way to Paradise Valley, Mohamed mentioned that there was an Argan Oil cooperative along the way and if I wanted to, we could stop off (which I decided to do), which was in itself a great experience. Once we finally arrived at Paradise Valley, Mohamed shared lots of interesting knowledge regarding the area and history of the valley and was always so happy to answer any questions. After this, we went to have lunch at an amazing restaurant in Tamri which was included in the price of this excursion. We then finished off the day at the sand dunes where Mohamed even showed me a location I had been interested in seeing which was slightly off the typical route. On our way home, Mohamed even brought me some beautiful bananas which was incredibly kind of him. This was by far the best excursion I have ever been on and that's thanks to Mohamed for being an amazing guide and super friendly. I have taken his number and will absolutely be booking further tours with him when I am next in Agadir! Would definitely recommend booking with Okeytours and especially asking for Mohamed!

Excellent :) - My second day in Morocco and had the most amazing day with Nabil. We went to see the argan oil factory & botanical gardens, then went to the high atlas, followed by Paradise Valley. Then we went to a local village and had an incredible home cooked chicken & potato tajine. The final stop was the mini Sahara dunes (highlight of the day for me). I booked with Youness who was very helpful and answered all of my questions before booking, then was picked up by Nabil who is really nice guy and made the tour really good fun. Thank you guys! Every stop was worth it :) highly recommended!

Immersed in culture and beauty - Our guide Omar was very knowledgeable and helpful and informative throughout the trip. First stop was a female run cooperative producing Argan oil. After visiting the garden we got to shell sone Argan nuts. Next stop was the paradise valley. Had a short hike up and down hill to it . Came to a small area with little restaurants set around the small pool . This was not the usual place to stop but as there was a lack of water there this was the chosen destination. Stayed around for 2 hours swam with fish giving one a pedicure and chilled out. Nice place but imagine paradise even nicer. The rest of our group went back to Agadir and we and Omar went on to a berber family home where we dined on very tasty Chicken tagine. So special to be welcomed into this family home. Had great chats about berber traditions. Our next stop were the stunning sand dunes overlooking the Atlantic, which we walked and explored at length with Omar. We had very interesting conversations about sand and erosion, movement of people and emigration before returning home to Agadir. It was an all round lovely day delving into a new culture and seeing the sights.
