Our excursion to the Ourika Valley stands out for an authentic discovery of nature and Berber life, just an hour from Marrakech. We take you through green landscapes, traditional villages and to the waterfalls of Setti Fatma, with time to walk, breathe the clean Atlas air and enjoy the river. The experience is friendly and flexible, with a local Driver Guide who shares the culture and traditions of the area. Far from the quick visits, we favor calm, proximity to nature and a relaxed pace for a real break outside the city.

Definitely recommend this over any group tour as all of those were very crowded and seemed very uncomfortable. Wonderful experience to ourika valley privately! We drove up the mountain and stopped to take photos. Stopped at an argan oil store which was very pleasant as well. Never felt rushed the driver was so pleasant. He told us to let him know if we ever wanted to stop for photos or anything. When we got to the hike the tour guide was very helpful and kind as well. The food by the river was amazing! When we got back in the car we headed to a Berber home which was very informative also very kind people and we bought more souvenirs there. Highly recommend this private tour as is it extremely comfortable, accommodating and makes the experience absolutely perfect !

Wonderful experience from start to finish. Picked up early and was never rushed, always told to take my time and if I wanted to stop somewhere for photos or anything to let him know. Went to ourika valley, hiked up the waterfall and had lunch by the water. Everything was beautiful! Very kind guide and made me feel very welcome. Answered all questions and reached out via what’s app to confirm pick up. Highly recommend to everyone for a comfortable accommodating trip to ourika valley.
Great experience!

Excellent day out to the Atlas Mountains, Ourika and Setti Fatma (this is the village from where it is a relatively short climb to see the first waterfall). Picked up on time and driven in a very comfortable air-conditioned 4x4 to the Ourika. stopped on the way at a photograph spot for mountain and camel shots and also at a women’s cooperative to see the production of Argan oil and other products. At Setti Fatma met our guide Ahmad. A local guy who was very knowledgeable kept stopping to check that we were okay and provide information as we went up the valley to the rocks and the waterfall. Very patient and helpful, especially as we were perhaps a little more slowly moving than he might be used to! Nothing was too much trouble and he is our guide of the week!⭐️ After visiting the waterfalls back down for a Riverside lunch and then home. he very enjoyable way to see the mountains and very glad we did it. The only thing we would suggest is wear a comfortable and grippy pair of shoes as the path up to the waterfalls is steep and can be a little loose and slippy. Otherwise a lovely day out. Recommend.
Everything is well organized - highly recommended!

Everything worked out great. Very accommodating driver and also Said, our guide to the waterfall was extremely attentive. He got walking sticks for my girlfriend and went back the shorter way with her to spare her foot. Very caring. Thanks for everything. Doreen & Bianca
