Fun experience! - We had a great time! The driver is fluent in both french and english. He could answer all questions we had and took us safely from Marrakech. If your hotel is more than 7km from Marrakech center there is an extra fee of 10 euros. Wich we didn't mind since we were staying about 20-30 min outside. And they let you know beforehand. All and all a great experience.

Practical way to meet Essaouira - Excellent tour, with search and return directly at the hotel. Essaouira is a beautiful city and the free time is enough to at least get to know its main points.

Day trip to Essuaria - The tour is to go to Essuaria and back, there is no plan when you are there, it’s up to you to plan. Anas and Mohammed made it easy with communication about pick ups the day before.

Nice experience - Pros: Essaouira is a beautiful city. The beach, the weather, and the medina were all very nice and definitely worth visiting. The drive is quite long, but there are a few breaks along the way, so in the end it feels manageable. Cons: Our driver, Ismail, was very polite and kind, but he was only a driver. We received absolutely no information about the city, what to visit, or where to eat, which would have been very helpful. At the end of the trip, he also insisted that we give him a good feedback, which felt a bit uncomfortable. Unfortunately, the air conditioning in the car was not working, so the return journey was very hot. Also, the description mentioned a break in a field of argan trees and a panoramic viewpoint, but neither of these stops happened. We stopped twice (once each way) at gas stations for food and coffee, which were extremely expensive. We also stopped at an argan cooperative, which was actually a very nice experience with good explanations from a lady there. However, the prices were much higher than in the medina. Overall: Essaouira itself is wonderful and worth the visit, but the tour could be better organized, more informative, and more transparent about the stops. With some improvements, this trip could be much better.
