We didn’t see how argan oil is made and didn’t stop at the market, which was the main reason I booked this excursion. Lunch by the river was nice, but a taxi would have been cheaper.

We were disappointed with the experience. The driver stopped frequently at tourist shops with inflated prices, and the hike was quite risky on the rocky paths. Lunch was also underwhelming, not in the valley as expected, and the restaurant was crowded and unappealing.

Interesting to see, but we felt the argan oil demonstration seemed more like a sales pitch than authentic. It was also disappointing that the fee for the guide to the falls wasn’t included, which would have given a clearer idea of the day’s costs.
