Great Day Out - Fantastic journey to the resort. We had an excellent guide, who gave us a guide of the town. The beach is fantastic and we had a wonderful seafood lunch, with very reasonable prices. The mini bus driver was very helpful and courteous. Would highly recommend this trip. Great value for money.

A trip to the beach - We had a great time at the beach. It is a long trip roughly 2 & a half hours there and back, but we thought it was worth it. It was nice to see the coast and the beach. The driver was really good and we had a guide who showed us around Essaouria. We then had done free time before going home. It was nice to look around the different items for sale and to see the fresh fish sellers. It felt more relaxing here not as much hustle & bustle like Marrakech.

Lovely day! - A lovely day spent here, strolling through the souks and enjoying a meal with freshly caught sardines in a local restaurant. The beach is lovely and busy with families and great to get a cultural experience. The castle is worth a visit to see the views and harbour is a welcome treat .

Excellent experience - A very good experience. We did a private tour and our driver Mohamed not only drove us there but was an excellent guide- he took us to all the best places to see in Essouria and markets to shop, and best places to eat. A nice day out nice histroic town. Clean beaches. Highly recommend this tour and with Mohamed that would be a bonus!

Beautiful and stunning. - This is a fantastic trip. But please note this is a very long day. We left out hotel at 7:45 which seemed early as we waited on the bus for 1 hour and 15 minutes before it left. When we got there it is really visually amazing. It is very different from the hustle and bustle of Marakesh. A much more relaxed way of life. We then had time for shopping and to walk through the sea bare foot. We then returned to our Hotel at 21:00. So be prepared for a very long day and take some food as the excursion tells you you return at 19:30 which is not the case in our experience. Overall a great day out and would recommend.
