Fantastic day out - Lovely day trip to Essaouria. Mohammed did a fabulous job, he was communicative, welcoming and a great driver. Spent the day roaming through the port and the Medina and still had time to relaxed at the beach. Memories made!

Great - We spent a great day in Essaouira with a break in a cooperative of women working with argan oil. We were accompanied by our driver Abdel Rahman who was available, courteous and helpful. I recommend this excursion thanks to Abdel Rahman. Be careful, however, about the place of departure and return which is not necessarily at the Riad/hotel as indicated in the title. We had to be contacted 24 hours in advance for the departure time, we had not received any news so we had to contact Mr Youness ourselves and that is when he told us that the departure was 20 minutes from our Riad... we particularly thank Abdel Rahman for this day and for having been kind enough to take us back to our Riad in the evening.

Life experience with Moha - A long trip, but our driver was very kind. Always available to help. The meal stops were always under his advice and were all very pleasant. The breathtaking landscapes. One of the most special moments of my life was the sunrise and sunset in the desert. We are very grateful to Moha for his availability and kindness.

Discovery of southern Morocco - We crossed the Moroccan south (Marrakech, Ouarzazate, Essaouira) accompanied by Mohamed Simo and Ibrahim. They are more than drivers, we were part of their family. What kindness! We recommend them to you with our eyes closed. Thank you both again for sharing your sublime region with us.
