We had an amazing experience with Rachid during our stay in Marrakech. He organized several beautiful days for us, making our trip truly unforgettable. Everything was perfectly planned, and we were able to enjoy the best of the city and its surroundings without any stress. Thanks to him, we also had the chance to visit Agadir and the Ourika Valley, both incredible places that added so much to our experience. Rachid is an incredibly kind, helpful, and professional person. He was always available, attentive to our needs, and made sure every detail was taken care of. His knowledge and passion really made a difference in our experience. We highly recommend him to anyone visiting Marrakech. If we return in the future, he will definitely be our go-to reference again!

Itinerary
Ourika Valley
Your full-day excursion to Ourika Valley will start at 09h00 AM. This trip will take us through some authentic Berber villages. We won’t be able to visit them, but just admiring them from a distance gives us a very clear idea of how people still live here. Many are craftsmen and survive from their natural resources and from selling their crafts. The Ourika valley is located at the foot of the High Atlas Mountains and is incredibly fertile. It is fed by the streams of the rivers that come down the mountains. You will be able to sample a typical rural dish for lunch. Of course, we will visit some waterfalls located along the river. We will return to Marrakech in the afternoon.

Atlas Mountains, Ourika Valley, Lunch and Waterfalls
A very varied trip. Great driver who provided us with a lot of extra information in Dutch along the way. Made a few stops along the way. At a pottery, where the tagines are baked. Seen how argan oil is pressed by the locals. While enjoying a cup of tea I got the necessary explanation. And of course there is the possibility to buy the eea. Visited a Berber house. Lunch use on the very fast flowing river, sitting on cushions. Then there is the possibility to take a walk to the falls. Absolutely recommend this trip. Unfortunately it was cloudy this day and rain fell occasionally. Well the weather is unfortunately out of your control.

Family day trip to Ourika valley
It was a beautiful village with lovely people. Rachid was an amazing tour guide and made us feel comfortable and relaxed. He showed us additional places on the way to the village and stopped to take as many photos as we wanted. Amazing experience and highly recommend!

Beautiful valley and nice experience
I genuinely loved this experience as it showed me the lifestyles of the people of Morocco, while also letting me enjoy the cuisine and natural beauty. I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a genuine experience and a tour guide that helps you in all aspects of tourism such as preventing scams and maybe even providing a discount on certain items because the people of Morocco tend to charge tourists more, or he knows the people personally, giving you a discount for the product.
