Reviews
I honestly did enjoy the tour. I think it would have been better if the description matched the itinerary. I loved meeting the people on the local community and the hike was perfect. The biggest disappointment was that there was NO camel ride as promised in the description. Thankfully the operator has agreed to a partial refund for misrepresenting the tour. I would still recommend this experience. If there is no camel ride, simply remove it from the description and the tour is still a nice day. it was a beautiful spring day and the hike was invigorating.
Nice and relatively easy hike, amazing views and very tasty home made meal. Quick and reliable transfer. The guide did not make sure that the group stays together and has some controversial views. On the other hand, he provided insider information and showed us some hidden locations. Amazing tour, the guide could have been better.
It was nice going out and seeing new things. I enjoyed the argon oil making and the lunch and breakfast was good, the people who did them were nice. the hike was OK. However, I had to call to arrange my own pick up on the morning of the tour as no one told me. I was picked up 40 minutes late, which based on everyone else waiting seems to be a common theme with most tours from marrakech. we spent 2 hours at the lunch spot with no knowledge of what time our guide will be back to take us elsewhere. our guide didn't really go into any details of where we were. but did go off on a world politics rant (recollections may vary) after the camel ride. Which if you are interested was done at the time the tour was meant to finish. Overall I think Marrocan time is a loose concept, but it would be good to know how long we are going to stay in an area. And for the guide to stick to the local knowledge facts.
the operator did not show up and Klook ask me to apply for refund as a solution when I fly all the way to Morocco. Do not book, this is frustrating
