Amazing experience - We visited Essaouira for a day from Marrakesh. What a wonderful experience! This is partly thanks to Abdul who made the almost 3-hour drive very pleasant. Received a lot of explanation along the way. Made a stopover at the Aragan cooperative. Definitely worth it!

Discovering a different life - Fantastic 10-hour round trip excursion. from Marrakech seeing the contrasts of rural life en route. In Essaouira, a must-visit visit to the medina and the port with the unique experience of buying fish on the boat and having it grilled right there, eating it “Morocaine” style.

a charming city - A very pleasant excursion because Essaouira is a beautiful city but it is far from Marrakech, however it was a pleasant 3 hour trip in a good vehicle and Lahcen is a good driver and good conversationalist. Eating in the port of Essaouira “a la marrocaine” was very fun and very economical!

Don't leave Marrakech without seeing Essaouira! - After the busy and rather chaotic Medina in Marrakech, five of us from my riad booked a day trip to Essaouira through this agency. Excellent service! Our charming driver, Khalid, picked us up punctually and gave us a very pleasant and safe 3-hour drive (with one stop) to Essaouira . He dropped us off at the port and arranged to pick us up in the late afternoon after providing us with some very useful info for shopping and dinning. Upon his recommendation I had a delicious fish lunch at Il Mare overlooking the sea. It was a beautiful excursion in every sense and I highly recommend it. Don't leave Marrakech without seeing Essaouira......it's a paradise!

Daytrip to remember - Recently I went on a trip with two other friends to Essaouira. This trip was absolutely fantastic from the beginning to the end. Our driver Khalid made this trip very memorable by his funny and lively presence. He was always on time and yet very flexible to listen to our needs and preferences. This is a daytrip to remember.

Great tour guide - Mouhssine was a pleasure to meet and a wonderful tour guide. On the tour I had in April 2019 in Marrakech, I got a deeper understanding of the history of the Saadian Tombs and Bahia Palace. He stopped and explained the various areas, sharing history and background. The Bahia Palace was incredible! Mouhssine was so kind to take pictures too. I did visit Essouaria as well, and I'd highly recommend it. It is beautiful. I am sure, based on my other tour experience, Mouhssine would be a great guide and offer a wonderful experience.

Nice visit to the windy city - Yet another visit to a beautiful city in Morocco. Our driver Khalid brought us safely to Essaouira, informing us on the way about the argan trees and cooperatives. Once in Essaouira he showed us how we could enter the city and then we could enjo6 a leisurely day
