Safe with Saif - wonderful experience

Our driver, Saif, was brilliant - punctual and informative he taught us loads about the area - we certainly felt safe with Saif! The carpet shop we visited was an amazing experience. We had the pleasure of meeting Salah who was the most delightfully engaging man who generally made us feel welcome with his excellent hospitality. We felt know pressure to make a purchase (but we are very glad we did!) We both said afterwards that we could have spent the day in his company learning from him. This experience will genuinely stay with us for life! We visited a Berber house and again, this was a fascinating insight into another way of life and I must say that the young lady we had the pleasure of meeting at the Argan shop was just wonderful - so funny and warm. We really felt no pressure to buy or ever felt hassled once on this trip. I highly recommend rhe private tour option and I thoroughly recommend Saif as your driver

Superb family experience

My daughters and I visited the Ourika Valley via clickexpéience. Our driver/guide Oussama was simply extraordinary! He spoke to us with passion about the region and answered all our questions. On the way back, he even stopped along the route to let us discover local souks, paying himself for a "street dentist" to give us a simulation of a tooth extraction. We recommend the excursion and especially this guide +++

A big thank you

A big thank you to the driver Mr. Abderrahmane who drove us to Ourika. Bravo to him for his calmness, his comfortable driving, and especially his availability and his kindness. I highly recommend the agency clickcursion

Very cultural activity...

Very interesting cultural activity. It's worth the detour! The climb is steep, so be sure to wear good shoes. You must enjoy the coolness of the waterfall at the top. The meal by the water was great. The driver, Tarik, is very skilled; he is a good guide.

Reviews

The pickup and transport were very good, despite the systematic stop at every excursion at an argan cooperative... the guide who accompanied us was pleasant and friendly, the hike is a bit challenging but easily doable in sneakers, the meal was acceptable; one last point: avoid going on the weekend as it is a very popular spot for Moroccans, which causes traffic jams at the foot of the waterfall...
