About This Trip

Escape Agadir's resort beaches for the emerald rock pools of Paradise Valley, a palm-fringed canyon in the Anti-Atlas foothills just 60km northeast of the coast. This Tamraght River gorge offers natural swimming pools, cliff jumping, and trekking through argan forests—a refreshing mountain contrast to the Atlantic surf.

The journey takes you through the villages of Aourir (Banana Village) and Tamraght, ascending into the mountains where date palms and oleander line the canyon walls. Paradise Valley earned its name from hippie travelers in the 1960s who discovered this hidden oasis with its natural Jacuzzis formed by smooth river rocks. Today it remains a favorite for locals and visitors seeking freshwater swimming away from the ocean currents.

Your driver navigates the winding mountain roads to the trailhead, from where a 30-minute riverside hike brings you to the main pools. The excursion offers flexible activity levels—sunbathing on flat rocks, swimming in deep pools, or climbing to higher waterfalls for cliff jumping (optional). Return to Agadir by late afternoon with salt-free hair and mountain-kissed skin.

Nous les avons engagés pour nous ramener à Tanger avec nos 2 vélos au terme d'un grande traversée cyclotouriste de Tanger à Mhamid. Ce n'est pas donné mais le service est hyper professionnel : communication fluide, adaptabilité (on a changé l'itinéraire quelques jours avant pour le fractionner en 2 étapes à une semaine d'intervalle), chauffeurs ponctuels et prudents, véhicule en parfait état...A recommander sans restriction.

I used this agency for intercity travel during my 9-day trip to Morocco. I selected this agency after comparing it with others because communication was quick and efficient. Tangier-Casablanca Casablanca-Marrakech Fez-Chefchaouen Chefchaouen-Tangier-Mer Port As a family of seven, I was worried about transportation, but thanks to this agency, we were able to travel comfortably and safely. The drivers arrived on time, were well-mannered, and communicated in English, which was great. I highly recommend them.

We used Official Morocco Private Driver for three different legs of our trip through Morocco — Casablanca to Fez, Fez to Chefchaouen, and Chefchaouen to Tangier — and the experience was excellent from start to finish. We were a group of seven travelling together (six adults and one child), with ages ranging from 2 to over 80, so coordinating transportation could have been stressful. This company made everything incredibly easy. Communication through WhatsApp was prompt and organized the entire time. There was always someone available to answer questions, confirm details, and make sure we had everything we needed. The vehicles were clean, comfortable, and spacious enough for both our group and all of our luggage. I had requested a baby car seat for every transfer, and it was always there without fail, which we really appreciated. All of the drivers were polite, punctual, helpful, and safe drivers. Along the way they offered recommendations for places to stop for lunch and helped make the longer travel days much more enjoyable and relaxed. Overall, this service removed so much of the stress from planning transportation logistics for a large family group. We would absolutely use them again and highly recommend them to anyone travelling through Morocco.

We relied on this company for our week-long tour of the imperial cities. From the first contact, the company stood out for its efficiency and courtesy. A heartfelt thanks to our driver, Mr. Ali, who, with his impeccable work, kindness, and great professionalism, managed to connect Casablanca, Marrakech, Fez, Meknes, and Rabat with the attention you'd give a family member or dear friend. Thank you so much!

We had Shakib as our private driver for our trip and he was the best ever. He provided a level of service that was truly exceptional and one of a kind! He is so genuine, kind and pure hearted, and wanted to ensure everyone had a great time. He was punctual to every single event on our itinerary and did everything with a smile! Even helping us with tasks outside of just transport, where we would need the knowledge of a local, he went above and beyond to ensure our trip ran smoothly. Anyone who manages to have Shakib as a driver is so lucky and I will always recommend him to anyone coming to Marrakech

I had an absolutely incredible experience in Morocco (Marrakech), and a huge part of that was thanks to Chakib, my private driver and personal tour guide. From start to finish, he was nothing short of spectacular. His knowledge of the area was outstanding—he didn’t just take me to places, he brought them to life with stories, history, and local insight that made everything more meaningful. Beyond that, his personality made the entire trip even better. He was friendly, professional, and genuinely cared about making sure I had the best experience possible. What really stood out was how comfortable and at ease he made me feel. It felt less like a service and more like traveling with a friend who truly wanted me to enjoy every moment. He went above and beyond in every way. If you’re planning a trip to Morocco, I can’t recommend Chakib enough. He turned a great trip into an unforgettable one.

Great service. We had three different trips and all very responsive and made sure all connections were super smooth.

We (3 couples) used this service for a 13 day trip from Rabat to Marrakech to Skoura. The Sprinter was clean, new and comfortable. We were glad that we had use of the vehicle for the entire trip and not point to point. The cost was very reasonable. Chakib was our driver and guide. He was wonderful and very helpful. He was always at our service and very helpful. We recommend Chakib and this service without reservation.

This is a very professional service. I recommend it for group travel. The communication was excellent right from the beginning and our itinerary went to plan all 4 days. Abdul our driver had great recommendations from Quad biking to dinner restaurants. He knows it all- very reliable. We felt safe and well taken care of. The Sprinter was clean, comfortable and fully air conditioned. I never really leave reviews but for this service I had to. The customer service we received made our days even more memorable. Thank you once again

Amazing experience. Our driver Ali was very personable, kind, and a very safe driver. Van was in great condition. Can highly recommend. Easy to work with their office to plan our itinerary.

I booked a transfer from Fes to Rabat. Online booking was clear and easy, and communications with the owner by WhatsApp prior to the transfer were timely and helpful. The English-speaking driver, Khalid, arrived punctually to meet me at my hotel in Fes, and I felt safe and comfortable in his car. He was polite and professional, and I liked the fact that he did not have any music or radio playing during the journey. The overall price seemed very reasonable. Therefore I highly recommend this company.

We used this service for a round trip between Agadir and Marrakech. We had two different drivers, both excellent. Professional, friendly and attentive, they gave us information about the country and tips on local attractions to discover. Communication was done via WhatsApp, from booking to return. Once payment is received, a driver is assigned to you and you can communicate directly with them. Water is provided and the vehicle has Wi-Fi. Overall, a very positive and excellent experience. We highly recommend this service to our loved ones. Thank you very much!

Our experience with this private driver service was exceptional throughout our trip to Morocco. From start to finish, the service was professional, punctual and remarkably attentive. Our driver was courteous, patient and knowledgeable, making our travels between cities smooth and stress-free. Even when faced with unexpected situations, he remained calm, accommodating and attentive to our comfort and safety. If you are looking for reliable, high-quality private transportation in Morocco, I highly recommend this team. I will undoubtedly use their services again.
