Conocimos a Ayoub en la mitad de la Medina y contratamos este viaje para el día siguiente. Nos explicó el itinerario del tour y nos organizó la recogida en el Riad con mucha amabilidad. Conocimos a Youssef (el conductor) , que nos llevó a todas partes en la furgoneta y nos sentimos muy seguros con él. Dar las gracias también a Mohamed por ser nuestro guía por el río hasta las cascadas y por todas las explicaciones . Recomendamos este tour 100%

Très belle excursion ! J’aurais toutefois souhaiter que le guide de l’autocar nous explique par où nous sommes passés et les choses importantes que nous avons croisé !

Crazy! This was a crazy experience and truly an unforgettable moment. The driver Abdul was friendly and our local guide Hassan was amazing. I could not imagine a better guide than him, he was super kind, very helpful and understanding. He helped us go up the mountains at a pace gpod for us. He treated us as his own family.
The experience to the valley itself was very hard. I would recommend wearing light clothes, long sleeve and long length trousers. And very good hiking boots or shoes as the mountains can be slippery. It was definitely trickier coming down but quicker.
The traditional Moroccan food was delicious, in particular the salad, vegetable couscous and all the desserts were tasty!
