The best Atlas mountain experience I’ve ever had! - What an amazing experience! We thoroughly enjoyed it. Had a convenient pick up from hotel and was kept informed of pick up time. Short stop offs to take pictures and visit a lovely Berber house. Once we got to Ourika we walked up to the first waterfall with a great guide whose English was perfect and he helped my 8yr old manage the climb. We ended with one of the best lemon chicken tagines I’ve had in Morocco. Would highly recommend booking with Mohammed!

Ayoub was the best and we all had a fabulous day. Very interesting with lots of stops along the way :) - Ayoub was the best and we highly recommend this excursion. Lots to see and do - very interesting. The walk to the waterfalls was a little hair raising but we were helped by the guide and again lots of fun. The lunch by the water was better than expected, very tasty :) fun packed day with the host😎

Amazing excursion - We made the excursion to Ourika Valley and the truth is that it was amazing. Mohammed explained everything super well, with lots of details and always answering our doubts. Ayoub, who was interning, kept an eye on everyone at all times, helping us with the photos and making sure we were comfortable. Karin, the Berber guide of the valley, was 10: he told us a lot of things and did great. And the driver, Ibrahim, also very well throughout the journey. We would definitely repeat with them on any other excursion. Shukran 😄

Lovely Day - A thrilling but exhausting day started with a 9am pick up near our Riad before being driven out of Marrakesh in a luxury people carrier (we were 5 adults) to our first stop at a viewpoint in the mountains - very pretty and I am sure the others visitors thought the same. Second stop, a traditional Berber commune for women where we were given an introduction to the benefits of argon oil and its manufacture before being offered the opportunity to buy some of the products - not overly expensive when compared to shopping in Marrakesh. Then off to our final destination, the Ourika Valley and the waterfall where we met our guide who led us up the mountain to the actual waterfalls. This was, in places, steep and rugged but our guide was attentive throughout, no rushing, a helpful hand here and there etc, my heart rate topping out at 129 bpm (60 m with a slight walking defect). The journey down was slightly easier although walking down slopes for me is actually more difficult but all in all very glad I went. We were then taken past all the attractive looking restaurants along the river to a restaurant that, in comparison was underwhelming however the food was delicious. I did ask why we, and many other guided tours didn’t stop at the nicer looking restaurants and was told that the food in those was not as good. We did ask our drive to take us back up the hill so we could have a coffee and sitting at one of these nicer looking restaurants we quickly saw why they took us elsewhere, the food did not look great! As we had a private tour we were able to make alterations including going for a coffee which made the day better for us and having seen some of the group tours sitting cramped in some of the coaches we were glad we did. We booked our tour through Marrakesh Taxis (Marrakesh taxi.com) the day before and I cannot recommend them highly enough, our cost compared to the group tours didn’t stop costs were almost the same even when we added the cost of lunch to our bill

I highly recommend doing these activities!! - The day was superb starting with the transport done by Abelhak haked who is very good company. Also the visit to the cooperatives, the walk to the waterfalls and the restaurant was really perfect.

Interesting day out of the city but be prepared for toughhike! - Good communication from company and driver about pick-up time, location and outline of the day. Ayoub shared his knowledge about the country during drive into mountains and gave regular stops to experience views, a local souk, a women’s argan oil cooperative and a traditional Berber house. Prices for argan oil products were much higher than in city but we felt pressured to buy. Hike up to the waterfall is certainly not for the faint- hearted,however, and we do feel this should be made clearer. It was raining heavily and our local guide set off up a steep rocky path at a blistering pace. We had to step across a narrow wooden bridge over a raging swollen river where everyone needed help to cross safely Then the path became even steeper and challenging. Many people and young children needed help climbing up and down safely. If anyone had fallen they would have gone tumbling down the mountainside. Local guide was very good helping and holding our hands but the experience was positively dangerous in the rain. View of waterfall was ok but not that impressive. Once safely down we were led to a nearby restaurant for lunch. Service was appallingly slow and they got our orders mixed up adding to the delay. Unpleasant experience sitting in wet clothes by cold raging river for so long☹️Interesting to get out of city and see a different aspect of Morocco but be prepared for the tough hike with total lack of health and safety adherence!
