Traveler Reviews
See all reviews-
The trip is just as good as my predecessors here in the reviews stated. We had Karim as our guide who was always very helpful, had great stories to share and made us laugh with his anecdotes. He helped us navigate a traditional Berber marked and have lunch at a local restaurant high in the mountains, showed us the beautiful nature and explained the way life has been in Marocco for the last decades and how it is changing. The trip is definitely not a sales attempt, even though I regretted not bringing my shopping funds as we walked through a Co-op in the mountains that allowes local artists to sell their air directly. If you like to hike you can tell your local guide in the Atlas Mountains and he might take you all the way up to the spring of the small river that flows into The Valley below. Up There you get an amazing view at the snow capped mountains of the high atlas and enjoy the solitude- but bring good shoes, a tiny climb is necessary. My friend and I would definitely recommend this trip and do it again.

Une rencontre inoubliable avec Abdul. Il est d'une gentillesse incroyable et nous a permit de découvrir le Maroc d'une façon authentique. Nous avons été dans le désert d'Agafay avec lui et avons tellement aimé que nous avons décidé de poursuivre nos excursions avec lui. Abdul nous a emmené dans la vallée de l'ourika, nous avons pu déjeuner au bord de la rivière, et puis nous avons poursuivi notre route dans des vallées absolument splendides. Toute cette journée etait génial. Abdul est quelqu'un d'extremement gentil et nous avons pu en apprendre beaucoup sur le maroc grace à lui. Quand nous reviendrons au Maroc nous ferons d'autres excursions avec lui. Foncez vous ne serez pas déçu !

Fantastique !!! À faire absolument ça vaut le détour une des meilleures excursions de ma vie Abdoul et un superbe guide très à l'écoute et tres gentil je vous le conseil fortement

The trip to Ourika Valley was beautiful. It was a 5 Star experience thanks to the friendly and very knowledgeable tour guide Abdul. His new van makes for a comfortable outing.
-
Amazing experience! A must see while visiting Morocco. The host was extremely intelligent and helpful. Not only were the views spectacular but you also get to learn about the rich history within these mountains. The tour guide is also from a small village close to here within the mountains so it was amazing hearing about his life and general life in Morocco. He did an amazing job at communicating with everyone switching between English and French (speaking both flawlessly) 10/10 recommend.
-
Excellent, highly professional and extremely informative. A very enjoyable experience with a tour guide who both explained the local culture and history in great detail and ensured our comfort during the trip
-
This was an amazing experience! Thanks a lot to Abdul. He is so kind and made my morocco trip unforgettable!
-
We had a great trip with Karim who was very knowledgeable about Morocco and the area. It would have been nice to be guided on a good lunch spot as there were so many idyllic places but overall a great trip and would recommend the private tour with Karim and Abdul.
-
We join the other reviewers in saying that the tour was great and we thoroughly enjoyed it. Abdul was our guide too and he was impeccable in his job, friendly and knowledgeable. We will recommend these tours to friends and family.

Abdul est un très bon guide, très professionnel, avec une connaissance accrue du pays et de la région. Nous avons pu découvrir une autre facette du Maroc, loin des grandes villes, au calme avec de magnifiques paysages. Une expérience très enrichissante que nous recommandons chaudement !
