Great day! - We had a great day. With a 9:30 departure, we went to Setti Fatma with photo stops, a visit to a Berber house and a visit to a cooperative of Argan and local products. Then Sophiane took us to lunch at the riverside restaurant. On the way back we went to a pottery factory with an immense choice. We haven't seen the past time. Our guide was immensely kind and very professional. He also agrees to stop when you ask him to satisfy your desires. He takes his time. We got home at 4:00. A big thank you for a great day.

I would go again!! - What a fabulous trip! We (with teens) had a great day. The Berber home with argan-oil-ladies, the hike up the mountain, coffee at 1600 mtrs, carpetmakers and an amazing lunch at the stream: everything added to a great experience. Driver Said knew a lot about the area and its history. I certainly would go again!

Excellent! - I went with family to the Ourika valley. We had a private driver who picked us up and brought us home. He was very friendly, attentive and kind. Also flexible, we could make our own program and he adapted to our wishes. During the ride we also had asked for a guide and he arranged it immediately. Really good work. Once there we went to climb the mountains. The guide gave a lot of explanation about the area and how the people live there. Very interesting! While climbing the mountain, he also took into account that my mother climbed the mountain a little slower due to her age. It was a beautiful area: beautiful mountains, rivers and waterfalls. We were able to enjoy this beautiful environment from the car on the way there during the ride. The visit to the ourika valley was the ideal day trip to escape the heat of the city. My trip was definitely worth it, it was a great experience. When we were ready, the driver was already waiting for us, even though we had not agreed on an exact time. That was very nice, because we could go straight home immediately. Good ratio between price and quality. It was a perfect day!

Friendly and Helpful driver and guide make for a great experience. - We did a full day trip to the Atlas mountains. Our driver was friendly and courteous for the whole day, open to stopping and moving at our own leisure. There were some extra stops at a Berber village and a co-op. Both were enjoyable and informative. The driver pulled in for us to take stunning photos along the way also. When we got to the foot of the mountains, we were handed over to a guide who helped us navigate our way to the waterfalls. Everyone involved was helpful and friendly, made for an enjoyable trip.

Thank you very much to Soufiane for the trip - First time in Morocco and I had only one day in Marrakech so decided to go somewhere and look around. And this trip was exactly what I was looking for. Very attentive and positive person Soufiane took me from the hotel and we started the journey to the valley. The trip was so nice, comfortable and safe. I knew a lot about the region and local lifestyle. Amazing stop at the valley and great dinner in the local restaurant. Definitely will come back for a longer trip. Thank you!
