Excursão de um dia compartilhada: Ourika Valley & Atlas Mountains de Marrakech

So certainly, it is an activity with stops in an oil factory in Argant and with hundreds of other tourists like us, but frankly it is well worth to bear these little inconveniences. Great guide, very decent riverside meal. Beautiful landscapes... Unbeatable value for money.

Marrakech was exciting but loud and hectic, so I needed a break to just breathe and listen to nature. Nourddin picked me up early, and as we drove away from the city, the red buildings slowly gave way to green fields and quiet mountain air. We stopped briefly at a small argan oil cooperative, where women patiently crushed nuts by hand. The smell of toasted almonds was comforting — a beautiful reminder of tradition and hard work. Our guide Younes led us on a lovely hike to the Setti Fatma waterfalls. The path followed streams and rocks, with cool water to cross and even a curious monkey watching us. I slipped on a stone and laughed — a light moment that made the walk even more memorable. Lunch by the river was simple but delicious: chicken tagine, fresh bread, olives, and sweet mint tea. Sitting there with my feet near the water, time seemed to slow down. Returning to Marrakech felt different — calmer and softer. This day trip to the Ourika Valley from Marrakech was exactly the peaceful escape I needed.

Amin was excellent. early hotel pickup. It was impressive that you were able to communicate with everyone in our group in a language they could understand. He was a really vivacious guide who made sure that everyone was taken care of. made the trip enjoyable by teaching us a lot about history. Overall, it was a fantastic trip that was well worth the money.

Pathetic and regrettable excursion. They changed the exit site. They changed the departure time to 1 hour later. They stopped five times on the way to get us to buy imbecilities we didn't want. Half of what we had to do was not done for lack of time. The guide charged us for a service that came included. We stop for lunch at a lousy crowded restaurant, but with commission for the company. I had the food paid for and they charged me again. Everything was done fast and running.... NUNCA MAS

We had the most wonderful time on this tour. The scenery is just beautiful, the transport was really clean and comfortable. Our tour guide Ibrahim was friendly, knowledgeable, patient, accommodating and a joy to be around. Thank you! Ps wear decent climbing shoes if you can. The terrain up to the waterfalls isn’t the easiest in places, but so worth it!

The driver was very competent. He gave us explanations and answered our questions. Very polite, smiling. The guide was very professional, very enthusiastic. Speaks several languages with very good knowledge and experience of the valley. Constantly ensures the safety of people. To recommend and congratulate. Excellent pairing.

Two adults and a 15-year-old: We are disappointed. When the driver picked us up, under the pretext that we were not 6 for the excursion, the guide provided in the service (and therefore paid) was not included in the end! We were therefore asked for an additional €30 for the guide when it was normally included. The driver managed to find us a guide and paid for it himself!! Despite all the calls to the agency and the messages left we never received any response from them, still to this day, after almost a week. The guide directed us to a restaurant of his choice that does not indicate the rates in front (meals with a rate multiplied by two compared to a nearby restaurant). He takes his comm: so we advise you not to follow the guide in his restaurant but to go eat in another next door that offers exactly the same thing. We hope the agency will reimburse this driver!!

Ourika valley was amazing, definitely recommend it 👌 we really enjoyed our self. Driver was lovely very kind and polite, water fall was amazing view was spectacular people are lovely soft kind friendly, must visit and definitely try chicken kabab and chips,

Although the tour was great and the views and the hike is recommended the journey there was about 2hours with no AC. We booked an air conditioning vehicle and there was no AC - the driver opened his window but in a 9 seater van, in 30 degrees heat with no air or cooling system the journey there was horrendous

Not seen much of Ourika as most of stops are in places where they try to force you buying stuff (pharmacy, house, restaurant) so that in the end you only do a small walk to the waterfall. Also pick up was very messy with 1h waiting for other van.
