Relaxing daytrip from busy Marrakech - The driver (Yousef) was super friendly and funny. His driving was really good and he also gave some insights and interesting facts about Morocco and the Atlas region. Would do a tour with him again.

Would definitely recommend - Jusef, the driver, was good, he was super friendly and shared some interesting facts and information about Morocco with us. The tour was good, we made quite a lot of stops in between which were really interesting as we learned about the moroccan cultures. We had a lot od time to look through everything and had good lunch. We even got lucky with the weather :)

Active excursion to Ourika - Good excursion to the mountains and information about the life of the Berbers. Youssef drove us safely and carefully. Along the way he explained and showed us a lot. There was plenty of time to go to the falls in peace and enjoy lunch afterwards. In the tour description please explicitly refer to sturdy shoes. The road is rocky. Nevertheless, a worthwhile excursion with beautiful views of the mountains.

Lovely trip but need to be fit healthy to reach top - Met the driver at meeting point and he was lovely. Slight issue with seats at back of minibus, very little room, but the driver moved seat for myself as I am limited mobility. This trip was a challenge for myself to see how far I could get, the same for my partner (both mid 50 but arthritis and fibromyalgia)and grandson. We stopped several times at a souk for photograph, very pushy owner (so beware) I did mange to beat him down alot. Then visited our 3rd argon oil cooperative this week. Had a wander and waited for the others. Lovely to see all berber living on way to waterfall. At the meeting point for guide at waterfalls, road is chaos, so be careful. Toilet is to side of resturant (beware worst ones yet) guide was lovely and we started up, across a wooden slat open bridge (my nightmare) across fast moving water. Then the even stoney ground and make shift steps, very steep in places. I managed around 1/3 before my legs gave out and guide sat me at lovely cafe with stunning view at the first souk. Partner and grandson carried on. Partner made it around 2/3 and had to sit and wait, grandson made the top and took photos for us. The way down was much easier and enjoyable. Guide then took us to the resturant he worked for and we sat by the fast running river. 3 course meal 130 dh each, drinks extra and no choice of less courses, but food was good and good price. We made the trip home in one session this time as some other travellers were moaning about no more shopping. The driver was lovely and instead of us having to get a taxi back to out hotel as not on the list, he drove us back (we gave him a nice tip) he was very thankful. So challenge accepted, pleased with how much we managed and was beautiful, despite not reaching the top.
