We just returned from a brilliant day trip. Hajar our guide and Azzedine our driver were so welcoming and flexible, lots of opportunities for stops and no pressure if we did not want too. The hike to the waterfalls was a highlight of our trip so far, our 10 year old and 7 year old absolutely loved it. Lunch by the river was great fun. Thankyou and highly recommend!

This is my second time taking this trip with this company. Last time we were taken to different place for food and the Argan co operative; Which were much nicer and better food . Even the Argan products were better quality and cheaper. The guide walked with us part of the way to the waterfall. And found us a place to stay when we decided not to continue, and waited for the party to return. This time we were left in this place waiting for our party to return! Not so nice or clean ! Food was disappointing, salad was more onion than salad ,chicken over cooked, those who chose BBQ had a small portion. Then when ordered fruit salad there was non !!
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience and for choosing our company again. We are sorry to hear that this trip did not fully meet your expectations compared to your previous one. We would just like to clarify that, as mentioned in our WhatsApp exchange, you told us the trip was enjoyable. We also arranged a private car for you, given that it was your second time visiting , to make the experience more comfortable. We truly regret that the restaurant and food did not meet your expectations this time, and we will review this with our partners to ensure improvements. Your satisfaction is very important to us, and we hope to welcome you again for a better experience in the future.
