Bridge getaway to Marrakech - I went with a friend during the December 6th bridge and the experience was nice, relaxing and refreshing in such a short time that we went was very well organized by Hassan who sent us with several guides and everyone was perfect, friendly, nice and very respectful. Once again I felt at home as I have had other trips with this same agency. and I recommend it for trust and security.

Nice trip - Well-organized trip, comfortable van, very positive and nice experience. The service was nice and helpful, we had a driver, a tour guide and an additional local mountain guide - amazing for this price. Especially visit to the authentic Berber house was something I did not expect, such a stop on the way and I will remember it for the rest of my life.

The Ourika Valley and Setti Fatima waterfall - Fantastic day from start to finish. Was picked up from the hotel on time and then went on to just 2 more pick ups. Nice minibus, safe driver. Commentary was in French and then English. Started off with a stop at a womens cooperative where they make argon oil etc. Brief tour which was very interesting and they were not pushy trying to make you purchase anything. Next stop was The Ourika Valley which is just so beautiful and the climb to Setti~Fatima waterfall was stunning. Some parts of the climb are a little bit challenging and some of the group didn’t make it but there are areas to sit on the way up for coffees, drinks and food so they sat there and they rejoined the rest of us on the way back down. We had an hour free time in Ourika Valley for lunch and there are lots of beautiful, colourful and bright ones to choose from. Stopped off at a Berbers house on the way back to Marrakech which was very interesting. Definitely recommend this trip

Great tour, highly recommended!!! - This trip was amazing. We were picked up with a neat Mercedes bus. Along the way, this Argon cooperative was also fun and neatly arranged. Then the tour along the falls and the cute stalls was great. Nice view and lovely people. Finally our lunch was also very good and cozy on the waterfront with seats with nice colors, and great service. Our driver and guide was Amin and drove fine. Highly recommended this trip!!!

A terrible experience - The pre-excursion comms were great - regarding the booking and pickup confirmation. And we were pleased to be offered a hotel pickup. However, the excursion itself was a disaster. Our driver for the day tried to fob us off with only one of the four activities advertised (the waterfall walk). When we realised after lunch that we were heading back to Marrakesh, we asked what was happening, it was confirmed that we were indeed heading back to Marrakesh. When another guest (who had helpfully printed out the itinerary) pointed out that we were expecting the other activities, the driver suddenly lost his ability to speak English!!! What happened next was extremely sub-optimal and stressful. We, and the other guests started to explain to the driver that we expected the full excursion that we had paid for - he was clearly very annoyed about the situation. Eventually, we were able to convince him to add on two of the activities but we never did visit the village (although in the morning, he did stop at the side of the road and point out a village in the distance if we wanted to take a photo - that was not the visit advertised though). The visit to the Berber house was incredibly uncomfortable - it was clear that the owners did not expect us to be there, or want us to be there. Although after an initial argument with the driver they were kind enough to let us see their house and they made us the best tea we'd had so that that trip. During all of this time, we could see the driver on his phone messaging and calling his friends. We can only assume that he'd made plan for that afternoon and was hoping he could get rid of his tour group early.

You have to face the guide to take you to the places - Everything has started well, until the stop in the village Berber has been to look at it from afar (from the road itself without barely getting out of the van). Afterwards, you skipped the next two scheduled stops and went straight to the waterfall excursion. So far we were not giving it too much importance because we thought we would do the following activities in the afternoon. However, after eating, we have been moving away from the valley and asked what was the next stop. He told us we were going back to Marrakech. It was only because I had the printed itinerary that we convinced him to turn around and make the missing stops. Still, the guide has long opposed it and told us that we were not, that we were already going back to Marrakech and that we would fix it. In the end, very reluctantly, he has taken us to a Berber house that was not even the one that was agreed, which has been very uncomfortable for all of us and for the family, who did not expect a visit. Then, he took us to a product-making cooperative with argan. It was VERY uncomfortable because we had to face the guide repeatedly and he looked very upset. It is worth visiting the valley but not with this company. It’s a shame, everything has been beautiful but the bad experience with the guide has spoiled our day (even more so being the person you depend on to return to the city).
