We had a wonderful little hike in a small group. The pickup went perfectly, and Lamia was constantly attentive to our well-being and shared a Lot of interesting information. The day was super organized at it was nice to escape the City for a day. The hike was well worth it; the mountain views were absolutely beautiful, and the food prepared by Lamias mother was fantastic.
A big thank you to Lamia for this wonderful day! :)

One to definitely do!
Great value for money and opportunity to see local culture as well as amazing views and waterfall. Optional lunch was fab and well worth the money. Driver and tour guide couldn’t do enough.
Small parts with harder terrain but guide is considerate and goes at required pace.

Lots of fun!
If you don’t have time to spend in the Sahara desert, this is a great alternative! Our guide Saida is truly one of the best! So sweet and very communicative; all we had to do was show up and enjoy ourselves! Saida and the rest of the staff were so friendly and knowledgeable they really do go above and beyond to make sure you enjoy the experience to the fullest. Our group had people of all ages, family, friends, even solo travelers! This excursion it great for everyone. Highly recommended this for your time in Marrakech!

Sensational
Best day we had on our trip to Marrakech. From pick up to drop off and everything in between was really smooth and made really fun by Mo and his wonderful driver, they couldn’t have looked after us better! The camels, quads, the stop at the women’s co-operative (which was unexpected but brilliant), the dinner and the show were all such a great experience. The whole day gave us so much joy and so many laughs. Thanks Mo and everyone! ️

The whole evening was fantastic especially IIlias who looked after us from start to finish. We were picked up on time and driven out of town. We watched the sunset from the dessert . Food and entertainment were top class.

Unbelievable experience
We received a message the day before to confirm the pick up time. The driver was on time and it took 30 minutes from our hotel to the location of the balloon ride. We were greeted with tea, coffee and water by the very friendly staff. Everything was easy and smooth and we were boarding our balloon ride before we knew it. Our balloon pilot was called ABDUL. I must say he was so friendly with everyone, spoke many languages and made sure everyone was having a great time explaining what was happening and threw in a few jokes here and there which made us all laugh. What a pleasure it was to have him in charge of our balloon. The ride was fantastic and a must do experience whilst in Marrakesh. I would highly recommend this trip. We were up there for a full hour and we did go very high too compared to a lot of other ballon’s we could see. Once back on the ground we were met with a drink and breakfast. There are toilet facilities here and they were extremely clean too.

Definitely a must have in Marrakech
Such an amazing experience in the Agafay Desert 🏜️✨
Everything was well organized from the beginning, and the whole afternoon felt special. The quad ride was super fun, and the camel ride at sunset was honestly the most peaceful moments of the trip. Dinner and the show under the stars made it even more memorable.
A big thank you to our guide Hicham — he was kind, attentive, and really fun to be around. He made sure we were always comfortable and enjoying ourselves, and you can tell he genuinely cares about the people in his group.
Everything went perfectly. I’d definitely do it again!

Amazing!
The excursion was amazing! We traveled as a family with our two sons (aged 6 and 8). Our tour guide Redouane was very informative, helpful and very passionate about his village on the Atlas mountains, his people and where he is from. We all enjoyed the hike to the waterfalls and the lunch on the rooftop was lovely! Both our sons loved the camel ride too! Highly recommend this tour operator and Redouane.

Once-in-a-lifetime experience, thank you!!
My group of 4 had an amazing time on this tour. We had tour guide Ali and driver Ayoub. Both guides made us feel incredibly safe, welcome, and informed. Ali even went out of his way to give extra suggestions on places to visit and things to do post tour, as well as calling our Airbnb host when we were confused on the location and check in directions of our apartment. Absolutely stellar hospitality.
The demographic of people going on this tour is college-aged students, so keep that in mind if you are wanting to travel with peers or people your age (we also went around spring break time so that might’ve contributed to that). The stops along the way were beautiful as well. Food was also good and a good mix of trying new Moroccan cuisine as well as having some foods we were comfortable with (fries, oranges, noodles, etc.) It could be helpful to bring your own snacks for the bus rides, but I don’t think it’s necessary as there are stops along the way that offer snacks at a reasonable price (usually takes cash only though).
I suggest bringing around 200 MAD with you. It will be needed for 2 meals as well as any snacks or souvenirs you want along the way (& tipping).
The hotel was a great experience as well. You will want to bring your own shower soap though.
Camping the second night was also a great experience, I was so tired I fell right asleep. Be very sure to go get breakfast that next morning as soon as it opens, or else it will run out, as they want you all to be on time for the sunrise.
Overall this was an absolutely incredible, once in a lifetime opportunity, and I am so grateful to Ali and Ayoub for making the experience all the better. Thank you for such an awesome time.

Great experience! Picked...
Great experience! Picked up from the address and dropped off back home. Our driver Milud and guide was very friendly and understanding. We stopped halfway 2:40hour drive through to use bathroom, rest and buy drink/snack.
Ouzoud waterfalls, boat, hike, cheeky monkeys and views worth visiting for the price.

I had a wonderful day...
I had a wonderful day trip from Marrakech to Essaouira with our guide. He was professional, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable about the region. He made the journey comfortable and shared interesting history and local insights along the way. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a relaxed and informative experience visiting Essaouira.
Note: Please update the meeting point in the confirmation as I was given the wrong information.

It was a nice day trip....
It was a nice day trip. Though it was a long drive for this activity, our driver Moussa took care of safe and pleasant driving. Our guide Yousef was knowledgeable and provided additional information on Berbers along with the waterfall activity including short boat ride.
