A top-notch driver, serious and punctual, who knows the tourist sites on the itinerary perfectly, which allowed us to keep unforgettable memories of the visit all the way to the waterfalls. Mohamed, our polyglot guide for the visit to the waterfalls, is truly passionate about his job. His perfect knowledge of the area, his enthusiasm, and his kindness make him an essential professional guide. Knowing how to give appropriate advice for the site being visited, in particular for a great lunch stop with an excellent price-quality ratio, Mohamed is worthy of complete trust.
An incredible excursion to the Ouzoud waterfalls. The landscape is spectacular and the experience was very much worth it. Everything was very well organized and our guide was charming, attentive, and very professional throughout the day. We enjoyed it a lot, a wonderful day surrounded by nature. Without a doubt, we recommend this excursion to anyone visiting Marrakech. 🇲🇦❤️
It was magnificent, the waterfalls and the guide and the driver were professional, as they spoke in French it helped us a lot, we will come back
It has been an incredible experience, I recommend it without a doubt. There is quite a bit of walking, but you stop frequently and it is nothing that any person cannot do.
My family and I had such an amazing experience visiting Ouzoud Waterfalls. The scenery was absolutely breathtaking, and the whole day was unforgettable. Everything was well organised, the atmosphere was welcoming, and there was so much to see and enjoy. The waterfalls are truly stunning, and we loved exploring the area and taking in the beautiful views. It was a perfect day out for the whole family, and we made some wonderful memories together. We would definitely recommend visiting Ouzoud Waterfalls to anyone travelling to Morocco. It was one of the highlights of our trip, and we would happily visit again!
Great experience! The waterfalls were beautiful, the pickup was well organized and on time, the boat trip was a lot of fun, and everything was very affordable. Highly recommended! If you can book with lunch i would because you need to wait either way on the people who did.
Nice day trip to see waterfalls our guide was friendly and very kind
It took 3 hours to get to the location so factor that in you have small children. But you won't be disappointed. Our guide Adnan was very experienced and knowledgeable. There were no hard sales, we were left to enjoy the location in our own time and the restaurant at the top was very accommodating. Thank you Adnan, see you again on our return. Stay blessed
Thank you very much for your honest and thoughtful review. We are delighted that you and your family enjoyed the Ouzoud Waterfalls experience and appreciated Adnan’s knowledge, professionalism, and relaxed approach. We understand that the journey from Marrakech can feel long, particularly when travelling with young children, and we appreciate you mentioning this for future visitors. It was a pleasure welcoming you, and we would be very happy to see you again on your next visit to Morocco. Stay blessed, and thank you once again for your support.
Great experience with friends, nice host, ate very well
It was good but it could be better because on booking.com was written that we will get free time to swim and thats why we should bring our swimming clothes but in the end neither of this happend and we brought the clothes for nothing even though they were very heavy ! But the tour guide was very nice:)
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are pleased to hear that you enjoyed the experience and found the tour guide very kind. We sincerely apologize that the expected swimming time was not provided. Swimming at Ouzoud can sometimes depend on local conditions, timing, and safety considerations; however, we understand that this should have been communicated clearly, especially since the activity description advised bringing swimwear. Your feedback is important, and we will review the information provided on the booking page and improve coordination with our team to avoid similar misunderstandings in the future. Thank you again for helping us improve.
