Amazing Day Trip Experience - My wife and I were met by Ibrahim the driver at our hotel after breakfast and he could not have been more friendly or obliging. He drove us from Marrakech to the High Atlas in Ourika, stopping for photos etc along the way.
At Fadma we were greeted by our trekking guide Hicham who took us on a wonderful 2-hr trek up the mountain to see lovely scenery and waterfalls.
Back for lunch (included in the price) sitting on the river and then a ride back into town.
This was one of our highlights - not only of this trip but any other holiday for that matter.
Ibrahim and Hisham could not have been kinder or better hosts for the day.
Thank you!

Ourika in the snow - Wonderful day out and just the right amount of time. We were picked up promptly at 9am at our Riad and then driven up the mountains. We were there in late January and went on the day of the fist snow which was amazing. We were able to go up to see all the waterfalls. We should probably have had hiking shoes but any other day would probably be ok in ordinary trainers.
We were able to have a tea break a couple of times and go to some shops along the route.
At the end we had a delicious traditional meal for lunch in the village.
The monkeys were the best part of it and we got some amazing snaps.
Bring binoculars if you are into bird watching.
Our two guides were both very friendly and accommodating. They both spoke excellent French and English. Our driver was very good and the 4x4 was very comfortable.
I would highly recommend this company and day trip.

Excellent day trip - Riad Kherridine arranged this excellent day trip for us. Our driver, Abdul, was great and knowledgeable. We visited a Berber home and an argan oil co-operative. Then onto the walk up to the waterfalls where we had an excellent and helpful guide to help us negotiate the climb. Abdul was a safe driver and we thoroughly enjoyed the day. I recommend this company and trip to anyone wanting to see a bit more of the country.

An amazing day with Hisham - We had an mazing day with our guide Hisham! He was very friendly, smart, kind snd funny. We have learnt so much about culture, religion and history of the berber life and the difference betweem arabic and berber culture. He hade a nice clean car and took care of us the whole day. No stress or time pressure and he spoke very good english. It was a very interrestinh and fun day! Thank you so much Hisham :) From Anna-Karin (Mrs Anna) from Sweden

Beautiful tour of the valley - We really enjoyed our trip to Ourika valley.
Ibrahim our driver was great.
The guide in the valley was brilliant, although be warned, he is a mountain goat! We visited the waterfalls and having some degree of fitness he took us to the top of the mountain, spectacular views but definitely not a climb for beginners.
The only let down was the lunch, whilst the location by the river was wonderful, the food was cold and very average, apart from that a great day.

Good company, but guides were not all good - We took a few private day trips with this company. Overall the communication with them was good, and despite the high prices, we were happy with the tours (especially with Jamal - an excellent and super-friendly driver!). The main issue that we had with the tours was that their guides are not all of good level. On two of the tours we had excellent guides, but on the third one the guide was totally clueless and loaded us with made-up false information (e.g. “the Ouzoud falls are the highest in the world after Niagara Falls” ???). Also, be aware that the guides are local guides at the main destination, so they only join the group for about 2-3 hours at the final destination. This means that for the rest of the day, only limited explanations are provided by the English-speaking driver.
