Abdel arrived on time to pick us up close to our Riad. He was absolutely fantastic all along. It was a small group and we asked so many Questions to witch he gave great answers. All the experience was incredibly educational, we've learnt so much about the Berber population and Morocco in general. He covered all subjects from education, to healthcare, employment, local culture, religion amd current situation. At the end of the day we all felt that we knew so much more than when we started. The hike was really nice and we were very lucky with the weather. The lunch at the Berber house on the terrace was delightful. I highly recommend it

Our guide, Ahmed, was absolutely wonderful. He was very friendly, gave us loads of interesting insights into Berber culture and made sure everyone was comfortable and happy and hydrated. The hike was incredible, the meal was the best tagine we had in Morocco and we loved learning about argon oil production. It was a nice chance to buy argan products, but no one was pushy at all. Amazing views all day. I was 6.5 months pregnant for this tour and it was all very comfortable and manageable with plenty of toilet stops. The booking process and pick-up was all very smooth too. Highly recommend! Do bring layers and warm clothing.

We had a delightful day, our driver Marwan was really friendly and full of interesting information. The walk up to the waterfall was fantastic and the lunch at the Berber house was a really magical experience!
