          Brilliant
          Marrakesh is one of the most mad but brilliant places I have ever been to; the sights, sounds and smells are extraordinary and incredible to behold. It is busy and manic but there is something to look at in every direction, the Souk is phenomenal and the square is full of snake charmers and monkey trainers. The mosque is absolutely beautiful and the whole city is fantastic Just be prepared for a three and a half hour bud ride each way, which isn’t too bad travelling through the Atlas Mountains and seeing the beautiful scenery. Big shout out to Akram, our tour guide who was informative and entertaining and really knew his stuff.

Happy friends

          Avoid this depressing experience
          Arrived in desolate srcubland. Sad looking camels are tethered together in a train. My camel was so rocky I felt motion sickness and had to get off. Others seemed to be ok though. The route is mostly through depressing run down suburbs then across a road to a river. No chat from the guide. Avoid.

          Excellent Trip Worth Every Penny
          Excellent trip, worth every penny. Our guide was fantastic from start to finish, very informative and friendly and our driver was a pro. The journey was broken up so didn’t seem as long & once in Marrakech there was lots to do & see. Free time is great for extra shopping or having a Moroccan tea & watching the world go by in the Medina. Highly, highly recommended.

          Nice views, cold swim, less than a mile walk
          We got picked up from the hotel by minibus and was taken to a little garden where they grow all types of plants etc to make argan oil and things like that, they also make honey and you can buy products from there too. Then we drove a little longer in to the Atlas Mountains where we stopped to take some pictures of the view then carried on a little longer on a very bumpy winding road where we parked up and had to walk the rest of the way. It is all downhill on the way there and very rough under foot so trainers are a must! It’s 0.85 of a mile to where you can swim. We arrived at the area to swim in which is quite small and the water is freezing so beware! The easiest way to get in to the water is to jump, you can lower yourself in but the rocks are very slippy so you do end up sliding in. It isn’t a trip for anyone with any sort of walking issues or unsteady on their feet. After reading other reviews we were a bit sceptical and didn’t expect any water to swim in but there’s definitely water there and places where you can jump in as it’s really deep. For £12 I think it’s a nice little trip.

          Hike! Feeble Streams! Tiny pond at the end!
          OK, mixed reviews as you can see in the comments! And they are right, but in fairness, if you LOVE walking in stony hills and looking at feeble streams that congregate into a small pond that you can swim in, then this is for you! The walk is a good 1.5 miles from the start of the path to the pools, but is an anticlimax at the end, there are no shops or restaurants there, there are a few guys selling drinks and snacks from a makeshift table (non alcohol). Now the walk back is 1.5 miles uphill climbing over rocks and going up stony paths again - not what we were expecting. I’m eating dinner at the resort now and my legs and feet ache. Wear trainers or non slip hiking boots. A nice long walk, but it was a strain! The kids enjoyed it, but I’ve been places and this is really a walk in the hills. I could do this at home so I’d advise to do things that you can’t do where you’re from! The journey back to Agadir was about 1.5hrs in a minibus, not really that enjoyable either. I wish I’d booked one of the golf courses in Agadir instead now, I’d have a bigger smile!

          Fabulous mountains and swim trip
          The trip was excellent, made all the better by our wonderful guide, he looked after us and explained everything so well. The swimming was cool and the walk was so interesting. All in all a great trip. Thank you.

          Not my idea of paradise
          As many have said there is not much water in paradise valley so swimming is a struggle in such shallow water. It really is just a bunch of cafes with tables in the water.

          Trip advisor change your photos, paradise this is not, Grimy ,, dirty ponds and pools,, so slimey my daughter couldn't get out, they had to drag her out,,walkways strewn with rubbish, seating areas like dingy drug dens, neglected dogs with fleas and ticks, flies in their ears, bloody wounds, skin and bone, giving up on life, sad eyes, if you are a sensitive soul, don't don't go! Agadir dog rescue informed, This is nothing like paradise, its doom

          Excellent trip to Marrakesh
          Excellent organisation of the trip. Akram was very knowledgable regarding the history of Agadir and Marrakech. The bus was comfortable, therefore we didn’t feel the travelling exhausging.

          Great trip to Marrakech, thanks to our guide!
          On November 23rd, I went on a day trip to Marrakech and had an absolutely wonderful time. What truly made the experience unforgettable was our guide. Although I can’t remember his name, he was exceptional—so knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and kind. He engaged with everyone in such a thoughtful and genuine way, which made the trip even more enjoyable. It was a great experience, all thanks to him!

          Excursion of Moroccan landscapes, culture, and food
          This day tour begins with a trip to a fishing town by the Atlantic Ocean by a mini desert, followed by stops at Tiznit, a town with the “real” Moroccan vibes, then by a camel riding ground with beautiful small dunes. The lunch was at the top of a nearby city, and the two dishes were great. We then checked out the nearby Youssef Ben Tachfine Dam with panoramic views. On return, we stopped by a ceramics shop to watch the skilled craftsmen in action and shop on site. Throughout the journey, host Imham explained the history and background of the places well. Overall, this tour is a good way to spend a day in the Agadir area.

          Lovely Trip
          This cable car trip was excellent. It's a little out of the centre of Agadir so if you dont want to walk book a taxi. We chose to walk. The cable car itself offers wonderful views of the whole of Agadir and the harbour. Once you get to the top you are hounded by 'guides' trying to give you information which is already there, however, you can give them a little money and they will leave you alone. There is also camels up there which are cool to see. They are currently doing work to restore the castle up there, which will be amazing to see when it's done. The views are spectacular.

          Highly recommend this day trip. Besides Marrakesh being an amazing place to visit, the guide we had for the day was outstanding - highly knowledgeable and made you feel safe in the chaos that is Marrakesh.

          Desert Experience
          Such an amazing trip with Abdellah!! Totally recommend it and a fabulous way to see some traditional Morocco. Amazing sand duning experience and Abdellah’s driving was superb, visiting Tiznit was like stepping back in time and once again Abdellah was on hand with all of the information. Finished off with a camel ride in the desert which was breath taking
