The driver Mohamed was fantastic, offering great advice. The visit to the cooperative was very enjoyable and informative, especially learning about the production of argan oil. The top of Essaouira wasn’t very clean, but overall, we were still satisfied with the experience.

Issam and Moha are true professionals, and the service was exceptional. It’s a must on your trip. Issam, the guide, speaks Spanish excellently. We had to ask him several times if he had actually lived in Spain! I can't express enough how amazing the service was and how well he explained everything. By the time you arrive in Essaouira, you know absolutely everything about the place. 10/10!

A fantastic excursion to Essaouira! I highly recommend a day trip to this city. During the journey, we stopped at a very interesting argan cooperative where they explained how the oil is extracted, and we had the opportunity to sample and try their products (without any obligation to buy). Our driver and guide Zakaria Elkhal was excellent. He accompanied us from Marrakech and gave us detailed information about the trip and Essaouira.

The day in Essaouira went perfectly! Everything was great, from the transport and care provided by Mohammed – who was an excellent driver and guide – to the city tour itself (the Medina is beautiful, rich in history, and the fresh fish was amazing). It was PERFECT!!

Our guide Ayman was friendly, approachable, and cheerful. The 3-hour journey passed quickly with the air conditioning and the stops, so it was quite comfortable. However, all five of us were disappointed with the "small" town of Essaouira. While the old city, the ramparts, and the port are charming and beautiful, the beach area was a complete letdown. It was overcrowded, the water was gray, and overall, not what we expected. Since we primarily went for the beach, we won’t be returning.

The transportation was comfortable, though there was no Wi-Fi and the air conditioning didn’t work. The driver was very safe, and both the driver and guide were friendly. However, there were a few unnecessary stops that took too long. We had service breaks for around 30 minutes twice, plus another 30 minutes at an argan shop. It wasn’t bad, but if you’re just going to Essaouira, it could be more efficient.
