Great walk in the valley of Ourika, simply magnificent with our guide Abdelkarim, of great listening and kindness. I recommend this agency because simply very professional. Thanks again to Andotravel!
Cher Voyageur, Merci pour votre merveilleux retour ! Nous sommes ravis que vous ayez apprécié la magnifique vallée de l'Ourika et le service de notre guide. Nous apprécions votre recommandation et espérons vous revoir bientôt !
Great activity to do with family. Climbing the mountain is a bit arduous for less fit people but guides help us if needed. The tour of the Berber house is good and Mohamed the driver is very nice and speaks very good French.
Chère Donald_B, Merci beaucoup pour votre commentaire ! Nous sommes ravis que vous ayez apprécié cette super activité en famille et la visite de la maison berbère. C'est fantastique que Mohamed ait été un chauffeur si gentil et serviable, et que les guides vous aient bien accompagnés lors de l'escalade. Nous espérons vous revoir pour de nouvelles aventures !
Our visit to the Ourika waterfalls was more than amazing – it was truly super! The scenery was breathtaking and the hike was clear and easy to follow. Our guide Hacimi was extremely friendly, gave us great advice, and explained everything very well. We also enjoyed a delicious meal with a beautiful view of the waterfall. Highly recommended!

It's great to know you enjoyed the scenery, hike, and meal with a view. We'll be sure to share your compliments with him. Hope to see you on another adventure soon!
The Ourika Falls were a great experience! The nature is beautiful and the walk was adventurous. Our guide HACIMI made it complete: friendly, helpful and he made sure we could enjoy ourselves safely and relaxed. Definitely recommended for anyone visiting Marrakech!
Beste reiziger, dankjewel voor uw geweldige feedback! We zijn blij dat u genoten heeft van de Ourika-watervallen en dat HACIMI uw gids zo'n positieve ervaring heeft bezorgd. We zullen uw complimenten zeker aan hem doorgeven. Hopelijk tot snel!
The road is pleasant and allows to see varied landscapes. There climb to the falls is just as pretty with diverse vegetation. The restaurants by the water allow a peaceful relaxation. The food is simple and very good. The guide was on top with us
Excursion to the top of the hotel pick-up through travel, professional teams. Yassin the driver, Nourredine the guide. Beautiful waterfalls!!! The delicious meal. And the super nice boat ride
Far too touristy & tacky. We felt like a crop to be harvested. I would not recommend this trip. It's a beautiful area of Morocco admittedly.
We're sorry to hear that your experience didn't meet your expectations. However, after reviewing our records, we couldn't find any booking for the Ourika Valley under your name (Rosalie). Therefore, your review is considered as fake. We will be contacting TripAdvisor regarding this matter. If you have any further concerns, please feel free to reach out to us directly.

I can’t remember our guides name from today, but him and Mohammed were fantastic at the waterfalls. Making sure everyone was comfortable and safe when crossing some of the rocks. Their care with everyone in the group was just admirable. I was the only English speaking person within the tour and I was never at a disadvantage. everytime the guide said something in French he made sure I understood in English. This continuity continued all day with each of our stops too. Not to mention the driver, who’s clearly skilful and professional when driving those bumps and bends. Well air conditioned vehicle and the walk too isn’t too strenuous. I would suggest though - make sure your hands are free for the walk. Don’t carry bottled water like me! Just a cross body bag or backpack would do! Great communication and response from company too.
We had a great day - mustapha our driver was fab, lovely place to eat xx. Very good price - well worth the money
Great local guide (Hassan) and everything was well organized. The pickup service from our riad was very nice. There was a little delay but was okay. The van was comfortable and the whole trip is a lovely escape from Marrakech.
