TOURIST TRAP
-AVOID at all cost.
My wife and i booked the 300 MAD (Per person) tour >without< tourguide. Each way has a restroom break, at the "akhamwaya restaurant", which sells a 3.5 MAD fanta/coke can for 13 MAD each...(so 4x the price it should be)
When we arrived there, we was presented to our guide, who had a hard time understanding why we did'nt want to do the tour with him, and just explore ourselves.
He warned us that it would be dangerous to go around by ourselves, and that he thought we should do the tour. And that he did'nt know when the bus would leave. Walking the tour was fun and exciting (no danger at all, just tourists)
After the tour we were taken to a "restaurant" with No menu card, and every dish is 100MAD. (AGAIN 4X the price it should be: look at the Picture; this meal is 20MAD in other restaurants, and considered streetfood). When presented with this, our guide started arguing about how much we paid for a meal in our homecountry, and that the oil Prices were crazy atm???
Anyway the tour ended and everybody had to pay him 30 mad.
We were about to book another tour to ait ben haddou with Them, but cancelled our plans.
The good: Nice driver who dropped us off at our designated location. And the waterfalls were beautiful when ignoring the massive amount of waste and plastic bottles in the water.
Also there was WILD berber monkeys❤️❤️
