Experience was brilliant,...

Experience was brilliant, picked us up on time, received confirmation day before. The trip itself was very good. The guides were excellent, grouped in chosen language. We didn't book any lunch as are very strict vegetarian. Waterfall and Monkey were very good Experience. If you have difficulty in walking or breathing difficulty then this trip may be difficult as there is lots of uneven walking & over 700 stairs i would have given 5 Star but I had to give 4 Star as it was very very Hot about 40⁰C and there was no Air Conditioner in the minibus which was the downside. Apart from that I would recommend this to anyone

Amazing tour with Yousef

The falls were stunning. It looks so much better in person than what the pictures show. Yousef was an amazing guide, and if you have him you are lucky. If you go on this tour, DO NOT swim in the water, as it is very dangerous to do so.

Ouzoud Waterfalls, High Atlas, Morocco

Superb day trip to the Ouzoud waterfalls, a beautiful place to visit at least once during your stay in Morocco, located 2 hours by car from Marrakech. The second highest waterfall in Africa (110 meters high, after all!), the place is simply breathtaking. Even more impressive when you get closer in a small boat provided during the excursion, the spot is just amazing. A walk from the top of the waterfalls down to the base with a visit and discovery on foot of an argan oil cooperative, with monkeys present throughout the route. A magical place surrounded by shops and restaurants. For me, the best place to visit if you are staying in Marrakech.

Exceptional setting!

A memorable excursion in an exceptional setting! A big thank you to Hachimi, a passionate, friendly, and humorous guide, who introduced us to Moroccan culture and the history of the Amazigh people through fascinating explanations. We also appreciated his awareness of environmental protection and respect for this unique ecosystem. Special mention to Mazozi, our driver from Ando Travel, for his professionalism and impeccable driving. An outstanding team that greatly contributed to the success of this day!

Just don't go with them

We took the self-guided tour to the waterfalls and I would not recommend it. The trails are not well marked at all and we even got lost along the way. The guided tour requires an extra €3, but honestly, considering that there is no clear return schedule and you never know when the tour actually ends, it should already be included in the price. Otherwise, the self-guided option simply does not make much sense. The organization was terrible. Nobody gave us a clear departure time, some people told us 3:00 PM, others said 3:30 PM. We arrived at the meeting point at 2:30 PM just to make sure we wouldn’t miss it. Even the driver couldn’t tell us the exact departure time, even at 4 PM. Later we found out that we were waiting for two different guided groups to return to our bus and apparently the departure wasn’t based on a fixed schedule at all, but on when everyone came back. So if you choose the self-guided option, you basically have no idea when you’ll actually leave. On top of that, the driver only spoke French and could barely communicate in English beyond a few basic sentences, which made the situation even more confusing. As a result, we ended up waiting 2 hours and 40 minutes for departure. In the end, we departure at 5:10 PM, which also significantly delayed our return to Marrakech. I am extremely disappointed with the entire experience, the lack of professionalism, organization and the overall treatment of customers. I have never experienced anything like this before. This was by far the most disorganized tour I’ve ever experienced, and I definitely do not recommend it.
