AZUL EXCURSIONS /Explore Agadir and Taghazout by Hiking & Horse riding 30 Google reviewsPosted on Google Angela EdwardsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Hidden paths trek in Paradise Valley. This was an amazing trip. We were the only ones on the hike. We were picked up at our agreed time and were able to chose our own pick up time. We were picked up in a private taxi. The drive in itself to the start of our hike was beautiful. Our guide was lovely. A local who spoke great English and was so knowledgeable about anything we asked him. He chatted with us the whole way giving us all kinds of interesting information. Such a nice man. As this was a hidden paths trek there were no other tourists what so ever. It was so quiet and peaceful. The only things we could hear were the frogs and birds. Hiking through olive groves, rivers, secret pools and palm trees was amazing. We stopped for tea in a beautiful valley next to some deep pools where you can jump in and swim. You'll more than likely be the only people there. From there to a Berber family house where they cooked us lunch and let us have a look around their home. This was such a special experience and the family were so friendly. This trip was the highlight of our entire holiday and I will most definitely be booking other trips with this company if I return to the area. They ask for no money for the trip upfront. You pay at the end of your trip. 100% recommendedPosted on Google Champions JerseyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Azul Excursion exceeded every expectation. From pickup in Marrakesh to the summit, everything was perfectly organized. Our guide Mohammed was incredibly knowledgeable about Berber culture, flora, and trail safety. The pace was great for our mixed group, lunch was delicious, and they even timed our hike for the best light for photos. Authentic, safe, and absolutely unforgettable. 10/10 — worth every dirham.Posted on Google Raimonda BagdonieneTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Everyone who thinks to book this experience with Azul excursions won’t be disappointed, because it is something what you can’t do on your own. Experienced local Berber guide Jorfi and taxi driver were very helpful from beginning to end of our trip with all our questions answered very professionally, clearly and politely. We had enough time not only for hiking along Paradise Valley, but also for diving, for special Moroccan tea after diving and even fish pedicure. On the end of our trip we had an opportunity to visit local Berber family and enjoy tajine food made by them and talk about their life and traditions. Having such a wonderful day, our group of 4 booked same guide Jorfi for next day sand boarding experience. Another great day ! After such an amazing half day in sand dunes, he organised snacks and tea while we waited for sunset on the top on sand hill. I recommend this absolutely professional guide Jorfi from Azul excursions without any doubt!Posted on Google Ina VicsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We came to Paradise Valley near Agadir for a two-day hiking trip with a group, and it was an unforgettable experience thanks to our amazing team. Azul was our main guide. He was extremely attentive and kept everything under control during the entire two-day hike. Water was purchased for us in advance, and when I asked beforehand for hiking poles, he didn’t forget a single thing — everything was perfectly prepared for us. We felt organized, safe, and well taken care of the whole time. Abdullah, Azour’s assistant and also a guide, was incredible as well. My husband and I often walked at the back of the group, and Abdullah always stayed with us, making sure we were comfortable and safe. We had many wonderful conversations about our countries, cultures, food, and traditions — we learned so much. It is especially admirable that during our trip they were observing Ramadan. They could not eat during the day, yet they handled all the hikes with strength, patience, and constant smiles. Always polite, always ready to offer a hand while crossing difficult paths, always supportive. And special thanks to Mohamed, our driver. I honestly was a bit nervous about the roads and driving in this country, but Mohamed turned out to be a very responsible and calm driver. His driving was smooth and careful the entire time. I felt 100% happy and relaxed, enjoying the beautiful landscapes through the window without any stress Thank you so much for the time we spent together. I will truly miss it and will definitely plan new hikes with you in the future. I highly recommend visiting Agadir with this wonderful team — they will make your experience safe, meaningful, and unforgettable.Posted on Google Tanja STrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The team is incredible. They are super friendly, fun, attentive, and genuinely caring. Abdul, Jorfi, Mustafa, and all the guys were simply fantastic. Being around them felt easy and comfortable from the very beginning. They took care of everything, driving us to the most beautiful spots in Paradise Valley for hiking, to the ocean, to the Mini Sahara, and everywhere else on our itinerary. They picked us up from the airport and dropped us back as well. The entire trip felt completely smooth and stress-free in terms of logistics. What made it even more special was the atmosphere. It didn’t feel like a typical tour service. It felt like traveling with friends who truly want you to see the best of their country. There was so laughter, great conversations, and positive energy throughout the whole journey. It was truly a wonderful experience, and the contribution of the Azul Excursions team made a huge difference. Thank you for your care, professionalism, and amazing vibes. Highly recommended! 🫶Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
