Excellent value !

A very nice experience with this company. First of all, the pick-up was on time with a driver, Ali, very jovial, friendly and professional (call to confirm time, location...). Very clean and high quality vehicle. The driver drove very well and was concerned about our well-being at all times. Several stops made at our request to take photos. Stop at a small argan oil and cosmetic products cooperative where we had explanations and a welcome with tea and smiles. We never felt obligated to buy. Very nice excursion and walk to the waterfalls at Setti Fatma. Ali recommended a restaurant to us but we were not at all obliged to go there. We felt free to do as we pleased. I have nothing but compliments to say about PRIMERA. We booked via Booking.com at an unbeatable price. We expected it to be blah blah but quite the opposite. A big thank you again for this beautiful day and a special thank you to Ali who is a wonderful person.

Little water, beautiful landscape

Nice driver, beautiful views, authentic guide. 5 Stars because we knew before that there is not much water there and the only possibility to go there offered at our hotel was 4! times the price. Thank you! We would book again.

PARADISE

Paradise valley was perfect. We had and extra on the tour going to see how Argan Oil is made and it was really good experience, made us appreciate Morocco so much more. Abdul Hamid is the best guide ever!! If you want to order with Primera, ask for him because he will make your stay much better!
