You won't regret it! - We did this tour with Mustapha as the guide, he is an amazing person and guide. He is always making sure you are comfortable, okay and that you are enjoying yourself. The trip was lovely overall, I wish we would have had more time in Essoura but it's a 3 hr drive there and 3 hr back so I understand it's very difficult to do. I would super recommend this trip at least to give you a taster of what Essoura is like, you will not regret it!

Elhoussain is fantastic - Elhoussain was a fantastic tour guide: courteous, friendly and available to answer any questions. I really like his style: he doesn’t just talk about what he is visiting, but he is able to give a more complex geopolitical and sociological picture, to better understand this country, which he clearly loves very much.

Fantastic Essaouira Day Trip with Mustapha and Hamed! - We had an amazing day trip from Marrakech to Essaouira, and it was truly one of the highlights of our time in Morocco! Our guide, Mustapha, was outstanding — friendly, knowledgeable, and full of fascinating stories about Moroccan history, culture, and daily life. He made the journey engaging and fun, pointing out sights along the way and answering all our questions with a smile.
Hamed, our driver was excellent too — safe, smooth driving and very courteous. We felt comfortable and well taken care of throughout the entire trip.
Essaouira itself is absolutely charming, with its beautiful coastline, historic medina, and vibrant atmosphere. Mustapha guided us through the narrow streets, showed us the bustling fish market, and gave us time to explore and shop at our own pace. We also enjoyed a delicious seafood lunch overlooking the ocean.
I can’t recommend this trip enough. Mustapha and Hamed made the day memorable, fun, and stress-free. If you’re in Marrakech and considering a day trip, this is the one to book!

Excellent 🥰🥰🥰 - Excellent!
It had started badly this excursion because it seemed that they had not planned our departure... but then came an angel who saved us the day is fantastically led us, guided and advised us to spend a fantastic and relaxing day in Essouria.
His name is Abdellatif and we highly recommend it!

Incredible experience - This trip was exceptional. Hamid our driver was kind enough to pick us up from our apartment and drop us back. Mustapha our guide was knowledgeable and looked after us very well even stopped to get us water, and was also very informative about the place we had visited. He made the trip worth it. The town itself was unlike anywhere I’ve been before it had culture and charm, followed by outstanding views. If you are looking to explore somewhere more chill and less haggling than Marrakesh I’d highly recommend. It was a beautiful town and an unforgettable trip.

Transport to Essaouira - Good quality buses, fortunately because sporty driving is after a while is quite tiring.
Essaouira is a pleasant city to visit to escape the tumult of Marrakech.
Our escort on the bus, Said was friendly.
Flat the road is long especially when 3 people talk non-stop for 3 hours and very loud preventing the rest of the bus from resting, sharp experience on the return of the blow.

Transport to Essaouira with confidence - A beautiful day in Essaouira, a very friendly guide named Said.
A very good quality minibus, only flat some visitors with us, who never stopped being very noisy at the expense of the whole group during the journey.
This made the experience and especially the return very tiring and tense

Set-up - Essaouira, very beautiful but I think the stop with the goats in the trees was a set-up for the keeper to ask for money for photos.
