Additional Information
We start our journey at 8:30 am, driving on the Essaouira road for 2 hours and 30 minutes until we reach the heart of the argan forest where the locally operated women’s cooperative for traditional argan oil extraction is situated. This product is Morocco’s international prized possession. A visit to the cooperative will showcase how community women manually extract the oil. Moving on to Essaouira, a picturesque spot at the city entrance allows for excellent photography with the entire city as the backdrop. Allocate 2 hours or more, as you prefer, for exploring the city and the remnants of the Portuguese port. A refreshing dip at the beach post-lunch is highly recommended. The day concludes with a return trip to Marrakeck.

Excellent private car and driver hire in Marrakesh !! - Soufiane drove us for 2 full days to Ourika Waterfalls @ Atlas Mountains and the next day to Essaouira. He is so pleasant, helpful and careful and a respectful driver, always ensuring pur safery. He also advised on what to do and also arranged guides at these respective locations. I will definitely recommend him to any of my friends or family visiting Marrakesh and beyond!

Excellent day trip - This was a great day trip - communication was excellent, driver was very nice and professional. We were able to spend as much time as we wanted in Essouria and still made it back to Marrakech at a reasonable time.

Essaouira takes Chilled to the Next Level - Essaouira is a super town. Relaxed. Genuine. Loads of small shops to browse, Portuguese castle ramparts to explore, and seafood to have a quick bite.
This was our second trip with Soufiane. Mr & Mrs Soufiane have clearly built a network of genuine, polite, hardworking employees & associates. Our driver-guide for the day Abdul Kadir was one such gent. And our local guide Azeez was another. They made our day.
Private tours are an expensive luxury. If the operators you’ll spend the day with are not nice people it does not work out. Soufiane & crew clearly understand the value of customer satisfaction. Thank you and well done SM Tours.

An Amazing day to Esssouira with Soufiane. - An Amazing day to Esssouira with Soufiane. I was picked up on time. Day prior he confirmed my reservations with a welcome message. Drive to Essouira was pleasant as Soufiane speaks very good English. We made several stops to take photos and see other attractions. I would highly recommend visiting Essouira. Beautiful port city, very different from Medina at Marrakech. You will find the fishing hub, Fort, Medina, Restaurants, beach. Travel agency is very professional. Thank you for a beautiful day! I would also reccomend getting walking tour in Essouira.

Excellent driver - We used Soufiane to take us from Marrakech to Essaouira where we stayed for a few days, and then he brought us back again. He was on time and communicated well on WhatsApp. The car was very clean and comfortable (Dacia Duster), Soufiane drove very moderately and his English was excellent. Very highly recommend if you want a safe and reliable driver in and around Marrakech.
