Absolutely Incredible! A*** - We had the best day experiencing this tour and the beautiful culture of the Berber Villages. We could not recommend this enough, we were two woman on our own and felt incredibly safe! We stopped off and experienced how argan oil is made, rode a camel, visited a true Berber home and much more! It was planned perfectly and we were really well looked after! Cannot recommend enough

Unique experience into the surprising Ourika valley - Mohammed was a great and knowledgable driver (with a clean and comfortable family van), who knows the region by heart, as his family comes from there. He can take you to places away from the tourist crowd. Can highly recommend him and the agency.

Breathtaking experience with the most friendly, patient, knowledgeable guides - Our private day trip with Soufian was awesome! He picked us up on time and carefully answered the host of questions we had along the drive up to Ourika Valley from Marrakech. He arranged an equally amazing local (Berber) guide who took us hiking up the Atlas mountain. The hiking guide was super friendly, patient and knowledgeable. He showed us some of the most wonderful views and shared so much of their beautiful culture. Soufian then took us on a ride through the Atlas Mountains to see even more amazing views - always willing to make stops along the way. This was a breathtaking experience like no other, and I wouldn’t want to do it with any other guides.

Day trip to Ourika valley/Atlas Mountain/Asni Berber market - I took a trip to Merrakech with some friends and we took a day trip to the Ourika valley guided by Soufian which was excellent. He picked us up at the Marrakech airport and drove us to The Source hotel where we stayed. He is an excellent driver and showed us interesting sights on the way to the hotel. Soufian speaks great English, and of course French and Arabic which he taught us some important phrases.
On the day of our trip to Ourika valley we left around 9AM and our first stop was the Saturday Berber market in Asni. This is a traditional market for the Berber people some of whom travel 3-4 hours by donkey from villages to trade, produce, fruit, meat, eggs, spices and all sorts of other goods. There are kitchens cooking Tajine which smell amazing. Everyone was friendly there.
The next stop we made was to a rug dealer on the was to Atlas mountain in Ourika valley. If you are looking for a quality rug this is an excellent place to go.
After this we stopped for a hike at the Atlas Mountain. Soufian arranged a local guide to meet us in the town who would take us on a hike to the waterfall. Mohammed, our guide was very friendly and knowledgeable about the area. The hike to the waterfall was pleasant and the view was wonderful.
After the hike we stopped in a local restaurant for a dinner at the river which was very cool and refreshing. Very good berber, lemon chicken and vegetable tajine, included in the price of our day trip.
Our final stop on the way back to Marrakech was at a traditional Berber house. This house was by a river and we were shown the traditional grain mill, sauna, living quarters, farm as well as a shop with pottery jewelry and other artisanal berber items.
This trip is an excellent way to spend a day if you are in Marrakech and I would recommend it to families, friends or couples. It is memorable and a great value. Soufian is a very friendly and observant tour guide and our group was very grateful that he was able to show us around the the greatest sights around Marrakech.

Everyone needs a Soufian on their trip to Morocco! Great experience we will never forget! - Today me and my friends went to the Ourika Valley and Atlas Mountains. We are staying in Marrakech and had a wonderful tour guide named Soufian who is the kindest man in Morocco. He drove us from our hotel all the way to Ourika Valley. He took us to a Berber market on the way where we got to see the different goods and produce that the Berbers sell. Soufian is very informed on everything and taught us alot on the trip. He provided us with water when we needed it and made sure that we were all accounted for and safe the entire time. He then took us towards the Ourika Valley, making our desired stops on the way. We stopped to buy rugs and souvenirs before getting to the Atlas Mountain where we were led by another tour guide on the hike. We walked up to the beautiful scenic views with a majestic waterfall. Soufian stayed by the car the entire time to make sure that our stuff in the car was safe. When we got back, he took us to an amazing restaurant where the table sits on the river. Me and my friends had a wonderful time and even has Soufian join us because he is a great addition to every conversation. The drives with him are smooth, safe and fun. We laughed, listened to Arabic music and even danced in the car. I highly recommend him, he is a necessity to have around in Morocco. He speaks multiple languages very well and knows the best spots to see. He also was very COVID aware and kept a mask on the entire trip. He had everything we needed to have a safe and amazing trip that we will never forget.

Professional driver and good views - This trip is perfect if you want to be back in Marrakech soon in the afternoon. The driver was really professional. We Paid for the driver 15euros/person and the trip was from 10am to 17pm (possibility to negotiate with them). The views incredible. However, we didn't expect it was really mountain (1,5h walking) not too difficult but with a mountain route, so I recommend to wear good shoes. The restaurant they suggested too expensive (not good price quality relation, 120 dh/person). We didn't book a guide but it's kind of unavoidable, when you get there there is already an external guide trying to convince you (we payd 200dh for 6 people). Thank you
