Marrakech: Unforgettable Excursion & Ourika Valley & Atlas
Description
Our excursion to the Ourika Valley stands out for an authentic discovery of nature and Berber life, just an hour from Marrakech. We take you through green landscapes, traditional villages and to the waterfalls of Setti Fatma, with time to walk, breathe the clean Atlas air and enjoy the river. The experience is friendly and flexible, with a local Driver Guide who shares the culture and traditions of the area. Far from the quick visits, we favor calm, proximity to nature and a relaxed pace for a real break outside the city.

I would like to share my excellent experience regarding the excursion in the Ourika Valley. It was simply exceptional from start to finish! The pickup was perfect, the hike to the waterfall was magnificent, and the meal was delicious. The visit to the Berber house was also very enriching. A special mention for our guide and our driver, who showed exemplary kindness throughout the day. I highly recommend it
Very good driver and local guide, restaurant food was average

The whole experience was amazing, absolutely no complaints. The driver, Aziz was very friendly. He arrived on time, and the vehicle was very spacious with air conditioning. He offered us drinks and even let us use his phone to play Spotify during the journey, which made it very enjoyable and go by quickly. I highly recommend this driver. The tour guide, Hassan spoke very good English and was knowledgable and approachable. He answered all of our questions and curiosities and welcomed us well. The atmosphere was beautiful, we climbed to the big waterfall at the top and it was a wonderful experience. I couldn’t recommend it more, anybody visiting Marrakech must go here!!

Aziz was friendly and on time to pick us up, offered us water at the beginning of the journey & shared his hotspot. Hassan was our tour guide for the Atlas mountain . He had a exceptional knowledge about the local area and we had a pleasant hike with him to the top. Will recommend Aziz & Hassan both as a top rated driver and tour guide who spoke English very well. 5stars
