It was beautiful. Just definitely strenuous. If you can hike up rocks maybe not for you. The tour guide through the hike was great and knowledgeable. Always helping people if they need it.

The trip was well worth booking. The guides Ayoub and Jamal were great very friendly. Pick up was easy, given clear instructions via whats app and a map so no issues. Journey is fine, stops at the Argon oil collective was welcome break, very touristy but all the tours seem to stop there. The Ourika Valley was good, steepish climb but nothing excessive,guide was very good, chatty and informative. We purchased the lunch as couldn't be bothered trying to find anywhere, as expected not the greatest but edible, we didn't have high expectations for it.
All in all worth the money as its a lovely place
Response from Host, Jul 2026

This is a 7 hours tour in the Ourika Valley, Atlas mountains and waterfall. It was very pleasant, and our guide Safian and his helper Mohammed who helped us up to the waterfall were both excellent. Many thanks to both of them! This may be somewhat difficult for senior people because of a long hike up on hundreds of stairs to the spectacular waterfall, but we all made it. Comfortable shoes with non-slipping soles are needed. Unforgettable experience with great views, greenery, fresh air, good lunch on the river. The price is reasonable. Highly recommend.
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Thank you so much for this detailed review! We are thrilled that you had an unforgettable experience enjoying the fresh air, views, and lunch by the river.
We will gladly pass along your compliments to Safian and Mohammed for their excellent guidance. Thank you also for sharing helpful advice regarding the stairs and footwear. We highly appreciate your recommendation!

Heather_C, Jun 2026
We had a great experience on this tour, with our guide Ismail. The stops along the way were great, especially the argan oil cooperative, but the main event was the short hike up to the waterfalls. The mountains are beautiful, and our lunch by the river was great. Definitely need good shoes, and be prepared for lots of other visitors on the path up and down to the waterfalls. But overall a brilliant experience!
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Thank you for the review! We are glad you enjoyed the stops, the argan oil cooperative, the beautiful mountains, and lunch by the river.

A good tour, timing and pick up is good
Food there is not good the service also not the best at the food location, but the tour itself is nice. Long time is consumed in eating.

Cheryl_L, Jun 2026
Be prepared to break a sweat - only a 45 minute up hill hike and definitely worth the scenic views.. breathtaking. Our guide on the hike lived in the Atlas Mountains and was very helpful offering a hand on difficult steps, relatively easy for able bodied people. Our overall tour guide hassna and driver ashuawa were great, very helpful. Enjoyed the day very much. The 3 course lunch was delicious (I am a fussy eater and still enjoyed this). The lunch by the valley was beautiful. Very cheap considering it’s a full day excursion. Would recommend.
Response from Host, Jun 2026

Wear comfortable light clothing especially if you are attending in summer time, it is very hot but it cools down as you approach the waterfalls and wear trainers. Fadil and Mohammed were great. I booked a private tour.

Amine has been a great guide! Punctual pick up and always making sure everyone is happy. We stopped off at a viewpoint of the mountains, an argan oil place, then had a hike through the mountains to the waterfall by a helpful tour guide and finally stopping for lunch! Very enjoyable!

Great value day out exploring led by Mohammed 16. Pick up was from everyone’s respective hotels and was well communicated and prompt. Travel was by a good quality minibus with seatbelts. Mohammed had chilled bottled water for all of us which was readily received.
We had a stop off half way for a leg stretch and photos before another stop to have detailed demonstrations of Argon oil extraction which included free tasting.
Next up was a filling and tasty lunch - bread and olives, starter, main and dessert with at least 4 options to choose from. This was located by the side of the river, another good photo opportunity.
This was followed by a guided walk to see the waterfalls, good scenery and as an added bonus we saw families of monkeys close up both on the way up and down.
You never know what to expect higher up and we did experience a light shower so a small bag with sun cream, extra water, hat and a light jacket would be a good idea. There are plenty of opportunities to stop during the trek to purchase extra drinks if required.
Response from Host, May 2026
Thank you for the detailed review! We are thrilled you had a great value day and enjoyed the prompt pickup, argan oil stop, and tasty riverside lunch.
It is wonderful to hear that Mohammed 16 took such good care of you with chilled water and great guiding. Thank you for sharing these helpful tips about the monkeys and packing essentials for future travelers!

Great experience from the pick up to drop off. We had gone for a personal tour given that we were 11 of us. The communication was regular and clear leading up to the pick up and during the tour so we knew what to expect. Extremely friendly guide who took us on the walk itself and both driver and his aid were extremely friendly. In terms of guided tour, there wasn’t much information or knowledge imparted other than taking us on the actual walk but we were fine with that because talking to 11 of us who had different levels of fitness would have meant an even longer time period. Breakfast was simple but delicious and lunch was lovely despite the flies and wasps but you are eating outdoors, so expected and beyond anyone’s control. In terms of attire, we dressed in gym gear from feedback received after having googled but it is an extremely easy walk and one can really wear any outfit for it. All in all, a fun experience and would definitely recommend.
Response from Host, May 2026
Thank you for the recommendation! We are glad your group had a great experience with clear communication and our friendly team. We appreciate your understanding regarding the outdoor elements and the pacing for your group's fitness levels. It is wonderful to hear you had a fun time!

Great tour and hike into the mountains.
The quality of food and service with the lunch was extremely poor.

My family and I had a great experience with our driver, Fadil, and our tour guide, Mohammed. Fadil was very engaging throughout the journey, pointing out sights along the way and making us feel comfortable from start to finish. We were travelling with two young children, and he was always thoughtful, regularly checking if we needed toilet breaks or anything else. He arrived on time, the car was very comfortable with excellent AC, and water was offered during the trip. Mohammed was also fantastic and made the tour very enjoyable. Highly recommended!
Response from Host, May 2026
Thank you so much! We are thrilled your family had a great experience with Fadil and Mohammed.
We appreciate your kind words about Fadil’s thoughtfulness with your children, his punctuality, and the comfortable ride, as well as Mohammed’s fantastic tour. We will surely pass this on. Hope to see you again!
