A trip to the atlas mountains and the waterfalls has you in awe of the scenery and the colorful people. Have lunch in the river and try some of the local cuisine. A tough trip up the mountain to the waterfalls but well worth it. Were good shoes made for climbing over rocks. (you won't regret it). We had a great tour guide who assisted us all the way, he was also very knowledgeable.

Atlas mountains, Burber village, water falls, enjoyed the whole experience although it was a hot & sunny.

Amazing experience but please read before booking

It was an amazing experience. I went with both of my parents. However I have given it 4 stars because we were picked up at 8 am and was taken to the city waited there until 10 am. Speaking to other travellers who joined us they said they were picked up at 9.30. This made me really angry because we waited there for good 3 hours. Other then it was an amazing experience the tour guide and the driver were really helpful. Very important: if u suffer with asthma or got no hiking experience or got leg problems - this tour is big on Mount hiking. I couldn't go further with my parents as they got really tired and dizzy from all the heights and climbing, baring in mind they are very active. We asked the tour guy to go without us and meet us back. Plus make sure u wear strong trainers, no slipers or anything. There were people who suffered alot with those. Hope this helps

Response from Host, Jun 2023

Hello Manija, first of all, thank you for the time you have dedicated to leaving us your comment on this excursion, and as an explanation why you were picked up so early at 08:00 and not at 09:00, the reason is that the hotel where you lived is too far from the city center and you have been picked up on a private minivan to approach you to the starting point of yhe shared group; and this is the reason why we offer the same service in private to avoid such an incident, but which requires a large budget than that in a shared group.

Beautiful Experience!

Such a beautiful place! The Berber communities we visited were very nice and kind. The hiking was amazing, and the guide helped everyone climb up the mountains. Take your time and enjoy! Lunch on the river bank was so nice, with the snow-capped Atlas mountains facing us! Our guide and driver were both funny and helpful. A wonderful trip!

Don't miss this opportunity

Il was such an amazing day experience with Mr Rachid, he was very helpful, and kindly helpful during all the trip. Me and my husband were very pleased with our excursion, and all it’s details, starting by the car comfort, the places we visited, the stunning beauty of nature and mountains, the guide in Ourika who was very kind as well we enjoyed climbing to the valley, the kindness of the people there was exceptional. Thanks again for Mr Rachid we shall use the same agency for further trips.
