Great trip! - Offered this great day at Ourika valley as a goodwill due to a reservation mix-up. Great communication from the company, unparallel customer service and swift support! My issue was addressed abd resolved in few minutes! I had an amazing day surrounded by breath-taking views.. visiting Berber villages with diverse crafts to learn about. Ahmed, the driver, was funny and very knowledgeable about the area and made the day even better. Highly recommended! Looking forward for many trips to book with them for the few days left during my stay.
