Very nice excursion! - Great experience! Beautiful excursion, quite easy even with a pregnant woman. Our guide was charming and very efficient. On the other hand the restaurant "imposed" by the tour organizer was disappointing and really not extraordinary. Choose the one that tempts you without letting you choose your organizer.

Beautiful discovery - very nice excursion , inevitable but useless stop in a "cooperative" of women to encourage us to buy argan oil, more expensive than elsewhere, of course... Nice hike to go to the foot of the waterfalls, with a little too many people for our taste, and still we were in October! Meals by the water without any gastronomic interest, but the setting is very pleasant. Really a beautiful day coming out of the noise of the city.

Picturesque - One of the four days we were in Marrakech we took the opportunity to make an excursion to the Ourika Valley where we visited a Berber house, "climbed" up the mountain to see some waterfalls, with stunning views of the Atlas, visited an argan oil cooperative and passed through small villages that looked like they were taken from another era. It is definitely recommended.

An interesting piece of culture - The farther away you go from Fna Square, the narrower the streets, the more indigenous the scene becomes, the less aggressive touch-up, less junk, more arts and crafts and goods of the day. Needs. So you should "swarm." You should not get lost, otherwise you fall into the hands of self-proclaimed leaders, whose "free" help then becomes expensive in the end. Attention: even in narrow streets, quite reckless moped riders ride here at high speed.

The a Side of Marrakech - Nice walk. You have to be careful with walking, but especially with decent walking. I got hurt sliding (nothing very serious, but trying to stop, I caught some very sharp plants, so I had a very bad handache). Plan well gripping basketball for this walk. The guide was friendly, we saw a great waterfall and 4 other breakfast away. Little flat, on the return it is not us that choosing the restaurant by the water (the guide has already been chosen, I guess to win some things from are side).Other simple meal, cheap 120dr for starter - main - dessert. The water bottle and coffee are separate. Count 10dr coffee and 20dr 1.5 liter bottle. Also provide room for Service (not included).lots of craftsmanship during the route. Attention for the pose we catch the breath, but if you ever sit down you have to consume some things, water, tea, soda...

Quiet beautiful place, away from the city bustle - Nice walk, not going to see the falls (guide way too expensive). Interesting shops with prices that are 50 to 75% cheaper than the places the guide visits. The Berbner House was also worth a visit.

Beautiful nature - Picked up at hotel and then picked up some people. Then to the Ourika valley. Stopped at a shop selling all kinds of oils and creams on the way. Far too expensive, by the way. Then on to the final destination where a local guide took us to the falls. You need sturdy hiking boots with good grip for this. We had to climb quite steep slopes. There was a kind of path, but still it was blown well. Great views of the area and the mountains. Upon returning to the village it was time for lunch at your own expense. Definitely worth it

Beautiful landscapes but too many tourists - Beautiful scenery but mass tourism spoils the party, guides bring tourists to the same places, restaurants want to make figures, leaving aside the legendary Moroccan hospitality. The tourist has become a cow to milk
