“Amazing trip, a long day but definitely worth it for the incredible scenery and natural beauty of the country. our driver Hicham was wonderful, so friendly and very relaxed, no rushing and letting us stop for photos and making sure the air con was on and working for us as it was very hot. There is an option to opt out of the hike up to the waterfall, instead you can go straight to the riverside lunch spot and wait for the people who choose to do the hike. The hike in itself is definitely not easy, it does require a certain level of fitness and agility as it was…”

The Argan oil stop was interesting and our 8-year-old daughter enjoyed trying the products (there was no pressure to purchase anything). The views were stunning and we were given ample time for photography. The meal at the family home was the best couscous and tajine - we had an amazing time. Without hesitation, we can highly recommend…”
