Traveler reviews
Not a very enjoyable experience because of the tour guide
We would like to commend the driver Abdul Malik for making sure that we we’re collected and dropped off to our accomodation after the tour. We are dissappointed with the tour guide Mustafa. After our boat ride me & my friend decided to take some souvenir photos near the falls. Then this tour guide came and told us to hurry up and when we reached the group he said in front of everyone in the group that we are the last to come and that they were waiting for us for a long time which is not true because the 2 girls before us who also took photos were also from our group and we were just few minutes behind them. There was no need to call us out in front of everyone, we were embarrased. Besides it was one of the highlights of that tour at least he should have allowed us few minutes to take photos, in fact we didnt take that long! Unfortunately, it completely ruined our day. This is to remind tour guides to please be mindful of what you say and how you say it no matter the color of your guests!
Great day in Morocco
Great experience! The guide was great, and the driver also. Pick up and drop off was easy. The views and tour around the falls were great, loads of opportunities to take amazing pictures, you can feed and take pictures with monkeys also! Overall great way to spend the day
Memorable Family Trip
A memorable family trip to the Ouzoud Waterfalls with stunning scenery, wildlife encounters, and a traditional Moroccan lunch, though delays and physically demanding paths slightly affected the experience. Pros: - Spectacular views of the waterfalls and surrounding landscape - Fun close encounters with playful monkeys 🐒 - Delicious traditional Moroccan lunch with a scenic backdrop - A rewarding experience for the whole family Cons: - Long wait for the boat ride - Delayed lunch service - Considerable walking, including steep and slippery sections Conclusion: Despite some waiting and physical effort, the breathtaking scenery and unique experiences make Ouzoud Waterfalls well worth the visit.
I demand a refund.
Hello, I didn't go on my excursion, I waited 1 hour with my children outside at 40 degrees. So that in the end a sleeping man tells me contact visitor…. What a disappointment…
Amazing waterfalls, boat ride and lunch.
A fantastic trip to see the waterfalls. You get to experience different views of the falls and it includes a boat ride that takes you close to the falls and you can have a pic taken there. The guide is great and helpful. The lunch was good and def worth it. I have gluten allergies and they cater for you. One thing to note that it isn’t a hike to see the waterfalls. There are about 600 steps that take you down - these are not steep. You need to climb those stairs back up. There are donkeys available to ferry people up. Our guide was amazing. One elderly lady fainted due to the heat and he was attentive and arranged a donkey ride for her.
