Mohamed was great guide. Good communication. Friendly. Knowledgeable. Patient. Trek to waterfall is not for faint-hearted but there is an option to sit it out near the bottom in shaded area. Extra plus was that it was a private tour so we could go at our own pace.

A guide who listens to our disability. Being deaf, he was attentive to discover and share his knowledge about the life of Berbers. We enjoyed the history and discovery. Abdel knew how to give us advice for the day. We spent a car ride in serenity and comfort. Very good experience for us with a beautiful person. We advise you with your eyes closed.

This was an amazing place. We took a private excursion and our driver, Abdel, was amazing. He thought us history along the ride and just made the day enjoyable. We felt very safe with him and the price of the private excursion was great. I would highly recommend this and would do again when I come back to Morocco!
