    We had a wonderful private tour in the Atlas Montains. Started early in the morning at 8:30 like it was planned. Marouane came to pick us up at our Villa. We went to the 5 Valleys. We stopped and had a 1hour long hike to the waterfalls in Ourika. Marouane was always friendly, making jokes and very talkative in both French and English. He knows a lot about the history of Marroco and Atlas. We stopped in Sidi Fares where we had the best Tajine and Couscous ever in locals house (not a restaurant). The lunch has been made with love by Berbère Women from Sidi Fares. The landscape is breathtaking in the Atlas and the whole experience was truly authentic like we were expecting. Special thanks to our guide Marouane who made it all happen. It was so good to have him with us the whole day. We recommend this excursion 100%

    The driver was waiting for us at the agreed meeting point on time. Then we went to the Altlas Mountains for about an hour, stopping at beautiful vantage points to take photos. Our driver explained everything very carefully and tried very hard to answer the group's questions. The hike was significantly shorter than expected with 1 hour return. Sneakers with a good sole are essential for this, as the rocks are quite slippery. The whole thing got a hint of coffee driving with a visit to an argan oil production, which was just about buying products - which of course you don't have to. At noon there was the best tagine of our entire stay, cooked by the Berber women. Lovingly served on a terrace with a wonderful view of the mountains and the valley. We were lucky that we were only 5 people, which is why you could talk a lot with the driver about the country and its people.
