Amazing experience,so beautiful ❤️
The experience was great. Would recommend. However we were promised breakfast.. none received and drivers English was minimal so he didn't really understand. Also did notget our water bottle! Ourstops were good, and the co operative argan stop was excellent. The guide taking us the mountain was fabulous, Ibrahim, really helpful and chatty. However when we got to the end, he became frustrated as my Internet wouldn't connect to give him a review. And he stormed off. The riverside food was delicious and was service excellent. Overall a good trip, despite the missing breakfast promised.
This was great. Good price, interesting stops, nice lunch Excellent communication.. The guide and driver were first class and very helpful. The two guides up to the waterfalls were brilliant. Superb with my kids. The walk wasn’t very challenging and the monkeys were amazing !

Really enjoyed the day trip, made new friends and shared a new experience. Pick up was right on time so no messing around like some other trips and the tour guide was very informative and helpful, he even took time to help those who were scared of heights and didn’t really know exactly what they were getting into.

Aziz and his team were absolutely amazing, he picked us up promptly, clearly laid out the structure of the day, really looked after us the whole time and made sure we were really comfortable! He gave us plenty of opportunities for photos, toilet breaks which was really appreciated! We stopped off firstly at a local craftsmanship and then a Berber visit where we saw the local women make argan oil and gave us traditional tea and breakfast to try. When we arrived at he the mountains we were greeted by the friendliest tour guide, who I really have to say a massive thank you to, helped me up and down the mountain and personally took care of me. The views from the mountains were absolutely incredible and would recommend to everyone! Finally we were sat down for lunch by the river which was so so beautiful and had an option to pick a three course meal from many traditions dishes which was the perfect way to end the trip before we headed back! Honestly couldn’t recommend this trip enough!
