Really enjoyed the gardens and thought the stops in the Ourika valley were really interesting. Driver was very attentive and informative

I came with my cousin and a friend and we loved the experience. Our guide Omar and the whole team was great and attentive. I recommend!
Anima Garden (5/5): An absolute highlight! We arrived early and were the second vehicle there, long before the big tour buses showed up. The garden is incredibly beautiful, creative, and relaxing. It is a perfect spot for anyone interested in art and nature who wants a peaceful escape. Highly recommended! Ourika Valley & Logistics (3/5): In contrast, the Ourika Valley felt extremely touristy. Be aware that the hike to the waterfall is not included and you have to do it independently. The biggest issue was the communication regarding the schedule. There were no reminders about the time, and the departure was very abrupt. Because of this, we felt rushed and couldn't see everything we wanted to.
Thank you sincerely for your thoughtful and detailed review. We truly appreciate you taking the time to share your experience — it helps us continuously refine and elevate the quality of what we offer. We are delighted to know that your visit to Anima Garden was such a memorable highlight. Experiencing the garden in the early hours, before the arrival of larger groups, is indeed one of the most special ways to enjoy its artistic beauty, tranquility, and unique atmosphere. Your description perfectly captures the essence of this exceptional place, and we are very pleased it left such a positive impression. Regarding the Ourika Valley, we fully understand your observations. As one of the most sought-after natural destinations near Marrakech, it can be lively and vibrant, especially during peak times. That said, we always aim to set clear expectations in advance, including the optional and independent nature of the waterfall hike. We regret if this was not communicated with complete clarity in your case. Please also accept our sincere apologies for the inconvenience related to the schedule and the feeling of being rushed. Delivering a smooth, well-paced, and relaxing experience is one of our top priorities, and it is clear that we fell short here. Your feedback has been taken very seriously, and we are already implementing improvements in our communication process, including clearer briefings and timely reminders, to ensure a more seamless and comfortable experience for all our future guests. We are truly grateful for your balanced and constructive feedback. It not only helps us grow but also reassures future travelers of our commitment to transparency, quality, and continuous improvement. We would be honored to welcome you again in the future and provide you with an even more refined and exceptional experience.
Great tour to escape Marrakech and explore the surrounding areas. As a solo female traveler, I felt safe throughout the entire experience. Hassan is an excellent and friendly driver, and the communication with the supplier was smooth and efficient.

We also appreciate your mention of the communication — we always aim to make everything clear and stress-free from start to finish. It was a real pleasure hosting you in Morocco, and we hope to welcome you again for another adventure very soon
Very satisfied with the tour. Anima Garden was top notch. We have also stopped at Berberdorp for making argan oil through women cooperative and visit to berber household. Then to the Ourika Valley. It was not possible to go to the falls themselves but we took a walk in the mountains. The driver/guide was very friendly and could tell well. Very satisfied with our trip.
Thank you very much for your detailed feedback. We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the tour, especially Anima Garden, the visit to the Berber village and women’s argan oil cooperative, and the Ourika Valley. We appreciate your understanding regarding the waterfalls and are glad that the mountain walk still made the experience enjoyable. Your kind words about the friendly and knowledgeable driver/guide mean a lot to us. Thank you for choosing this trip, and we hope to welcome you again in Morocco.
I went on this excursion to the Ourika Valley with my cousin and it was an absolutely amazing day 🌿 The Anima Garden was splendid, probably the most beautiful garden out of the 3 I could visit in Marrakech. Stopping at the 100% women’s agricultural cooperative with argan oil was also exciting: the women were adorable and we learned a lot about making oil. The hike to the Setti Fatma waterfalls was superb, there were not too many people at this time in October. The local guide (optional) took us higher (it was sporty haha) to discover several waterfalls and enjoy breathtaking scenery, away from the crowds. I really recommend taking it! It’s a bit sporty uphill, so maybe not ideal for everyone, but the view is well worth it. The meal by the water, on the small colorful pouffes, was magical. And a big thank you to Osama, who took care of us from start to finish: punctual, funny and very attentive. The transport was perfect, with no false ratings. What a laugh! 😂 A complete, authentic and unforgettable experience, which I recommend 100% 💚
Great day out. Tarek was nice and accommodating. Anima gardens was really nice break from busy Marrakech. The highlight was climbing up by the waterfalls and seeing the monkeys!
The Ourika Valley is a superb place, ideal visit at this time, the driver was friendly and pleasant but not driven at all adapted, and that scared us (even if it is controlled)...The second downside concerns the organizer's description which is not very clear since we thought we had a guide on site as indicated in the description and it was necessary to pay an extra 300 dirham for a guide once there (which were subsequently reimbursed us asking if it was normal)... The guide in question was great! The anima garden is very beautiful and very green but the artistic aspect remains a bit anecdotal...
Great day exploring Berber culture (including a stop for pottery making and learning about argan oil), beautiful gardens and views of the Atlas Mountains. Lunch in the Ourika valley was a highlight. Lovely tour, fabulous tour guide, punctual and nothing was too much trouble. Would recommend!
