    Very nice visit, it's a magnificent site, we had a private driver, it's luxury!!! The waterfalls site with a private English-speaking guide was unforgettable, the guide was great. No hesitation far from the frenzy of Marrakech, a breath of oxygen and fresh air. Don't miss it, you won't regret it

    Our tour was absolutely amazing! Jamal was an excellent and funny driver and guide. He helped us purchase great souvenirs and told us lots of neat facts about Morocco. He also had quite a few funny jokes and kept us entertained with music. I highly recommend this excursion. The hike was slightly difficult but worth it. Our local guide was very cautious and helpful. He made sure we all felt safe and we’re having fun!! 10/10 trip
