Alina Sorana Petica –
I booked this last minute and it was great overall and it was money well spent, the tour was led by a guy called Abdou who was very good at explaining everything and was very attentive.
The tour started with a camel ride that took 20 minutes with the chance to take photos, we managed to catch the one day of the week when the market was open and we walked around the market before continuing our journey to the valleys. We had to hike a bit before we got to the waterfall.
The lunch provided was delicious as well. Overall the tour package was great and I would recommend it to anyone.
