Great first day! looking forward to the next days

Was a very nice first day to the falls in Imlil! Mohmad Amjif was a great guide, very friendly, punctual pick up, on the way to the falls we took short breaks again and again as I am not so fast/supple when hiking with my over 100kg. The hike is always very steep, so as described be sure to put on sturdy shoes.

Amazing 😻

Thank you to the drivers Samir and Abdessamad, the manager of the hotel Brahim and the manager of the Aziz agency who were ALL extremely kind and immensely benevolent towards us. We were two single girls traveling and at no time did I feel insecure, I was always well supervised from the start to the end of the trip! For the trip from Marrakech to Merzouga I recommend it 100,000% and for the price you really get what you pay for! Rich in emotion, rich in encounters and so rejuvenating. It’s a real therapy allowing you to refocus on the essentials!

Breathtaking

Everything is spectacular. A return to distant times. The Ando travel staff took great care of us. The impeccable mini bus, Ahdil the driver, calm, always smiling, attentive, knows the regions of Morocco well. The choice of accommodation and restaurants exceeded our expectations. We highly recommend Ando travel
