    Everything was as advertised. Our driver Yassin, was informative and very helpful. The town of Essaouira was beautiful with a great beach too! The shopping was less stressful than Marrakech with somewhat better prices and much better variety.

    Reliable transport to a fab destination
    Sarah_H, Apr 2024
    Good transfer. Driver was one of the few people in morocco who knows how to use an indicator, which was great! Prompt, reliable driver in clean, well maintained transportation and overall pleasant experience. (Essaouira is a welcome break from the chaos of Marrakech btw, well worth a visit to the coast)
    Ayman made it memorable.
    Tim_H, Feb 2024
    Driving to Essaouira is as good as you can expect -- very light traffic, agricultural scenery with mountains far off. Ayman is a professional who knows how to make a trip pleasant and as easy as possible. His positive and helpful personality helps make the journey even better. The typical argan oil factory sales event is OK if buying roadside cosmetics is your thing...the people are nice and the demonstration somewhat interesting. Essaouira is another story. What a gem! The Medina is 1000% quieter than the one in Marrakech with much the same merchandise. A wide variety of restaurants serving very fresh seafood. I chose Il Mare on recommendation of local guide -- rooftop view of cannons, pleasant service, tasty €60 lunch (for one). Delicious fish soup as a starter. The shopping is varied and the non-hectic pace makes Essaouira a must-see excursion. Next trip to Morocco I will stay there. Ayman was an excellent choice and a good value. Definitely recommend him for trips out of the city!!
    Clean up Essaouira...lovely city.
    olayinka_b, Feb 2024
    I enjoyed the trip. The small group was very friendly and lovely. The guide was polite and nice. Efforts should be made to clean up this beautifull city by those in authority. They might consider a levy to foot the bill. I enjoyed shopping there.
    Just ok
    Jessica_R, Feb 2024
    The van was full but comfortable. However we didn’t stop to see the goats on the trees and drop off wasn’t the same a pick up which would have been nice to know ahead of time. The best part of the trip was lunch in Essaouira at Mama Souiri. The tajine seafood was 10/10.
    Great way to see a great city
    Aaron_C, Dec 2023
    Essoaouira is absolutely worth visiting and this was a great way to see it in one day. The drive itself takes about 3 hours to get there from Marrakech and then you’ll have about 3 hours to explore. This can feel a bit tight and I wish we stayed for a full night but next time we will! I think it was totally worth it just to see the city which was incredibly beautiful, honestly it blew me away. Our guide Yassine was excellent and very funny, he was a great person to talk to and ask questions about Morocco. Also, if you want to see the Goats, on Thursdays they aren’t there so plan accordingly!
    Response from Host, Dec 2023
    We're thrilled to hear you found Essaouira worth visiting! It's fantastic that you had a great day exploring the city. We appreciate your feedback on the duration and will consider it for future offerings. Yassine is delighted to be recognized for his excellent guidance and humor. Thanks for the tip about the goats, and we look forward to welcoming you back for a full night next time!
    I highly recommend this...
    Frederic_B, Dec 2023
    I highly recommend this tour, it was as described, we visited Essaouira and made few stops on the way to see Argan trees, Argan women cooperative and panoramic view. Our guide/driver is a super nice guy, he speaks very good french and english, gives information along the trip and tries to entertain and involve everyone in the group. We had enough time to explore the medina of Essaouira and had seafood lunch.

    Authentic Tour
    Sutha_H, Dec 2023
    It was one of the best tours that I had in Marrakesh. They have messaged me about the confirmation and kept me worry-free. The pickup and drop were as scheduled with the comfortable van. What I liked the most was Karem's truthfulness. He does not recommend or take us to where he can get a commission. He was brutally honest and set us free to do things independently and eat at our preferred restaurant. Most importantly, they are the cheapest based on my cost comparison in various ways. I sincerely thank Karem and the tour operator for serving us the best class service.

    Smooth and Efficient day trip to Essaouria!
    Amjad_H, Nov 2023
    Such a perfect booking for a day-trip to Essaouria! Karim, our driver, was on time at the pickup point, and was very thorough with the day’s itinerary. We had 3 quick stops on the way and had approximately 4 hours of our own leisure time in Essaouria. In that time we were able to eat at our preferred restaurant, see the port, shop for wooden boxes and French pastries, and even pick out a fresh red snapper from the indoor fish market to have it grilled for us. In an ideal world, 5-6 hours would’ve been nice and staying for the sunset would have been preferred but the decision was of the entire group to leave earlier, despite Karim becoming my flexible to leave as late as we wished. There were 8 in our group and being in a van instead of a large tour bus was nice. Great value for this trip!

    Thank you for sharing your excellent experience! We're thrilled to hear that Karim's driving and courtesy added to your satisfaction.
    Disorganized and disappointing.
    Robert_T, Oct 2023
    We very rarely complain about experiences as each provider has challenges to overcome but in this instance the day started badly and ended even worse. We were charged more to be picked up because our hotel was "outwith their pick up area". We were then dropped at a petrol station and waited 30 minutes without any explanation until our transport arrived. We were then packed in to a mini bus which had very poor air conditioning. At 39 degrees air con is very definitely needed in a van which has no opening windows!!! The trip back took over 5 hours and we arrived back just before 22.00. We would not recommend.

    Excelente opción para conocer Esauira su centro histórico está catalogado por la Unesco como Patrimonio de la Humanidad. Pasamos un día espectacular, el chofer guía fue super puntual, muy amable y nos contó la historia de la cuidad y del Argán, famoso aceite de Marruecos. También tiene extensas playas para descansar del bullicio de Marrakech!

    Transport aller-retour a Essaouira
    Fanny_K, Nov 2023
    Il s'agit juste du transport aller/retour avec arrêt dans une coopérative d'huile d'argan ! Attention vous trouverez a Essaouira l'huile et les différents produits bien moins cher que dans ces coopératives. Par contre sur la fiche de l'excursion c'était écrit prise en charge a 8h, le bus nous a pris a 8h40, et départ d'Essaouira a 16h30 on est en fait repartis a 16h ... Plus d'une heure sur place de perdu bien dommage !

    Une petite ville beaucoup plus tranquille que Marrakech. Le chauffeur était super sympa, il nous a donné des consels pour visiter la ville et pour aller manger. Nous a amené dans une coopérative de fabrication de l'huile d'argan, nous a indiqué la plage et le port et surtout il était à l'heure pour le rendez-vous de départ et de retour.
