Great trip to Essouaira with knowledgeable and caring guide/driver - We had an excellent guide/driver who explained the history and took us to all the sites. He was very accommodating and caring and we felt very comfortable with him. We would definitely use his services again and highly recommend him!

Easy and comfortable trip - Hamza drove us to Essouaria from the Medina in Marrakesh. The van was nice and air conditioned and the ride was really comfortable. We got to see some of the different landscapes during the drive. We stopped at an argon oil place on the way and they were nice / did not pressure us to buy anything. The trip went smoothly for pickup and drop off and Hamza told us a bunch of interesting things along the way about local music and culture. It was a long drive but Essouaria is a nice break from the city if you want a beach day.

A tour company that works hard to provide that perfect adventure - Had a wonderful experience with Morocco SM Tours. A friend referred them and we weren't disappointed. I organised two days of touring with Soufiane and he was very helpful. He nominated Yassine to be our driver and we couldn't have had a nicer man showing us his world. He drove us to the Atlas Mountains and to a pre-arranged guide who took us to Ourika Waterfalls. We visited a Berber house and stopped at various handicraft enterprises on the way. And we ate lunch with our feet in the fresh river water from the mountains. Day two and we headed to Essaouira which was delightful. A walk along the beach, a visit to the Medina for a calmer pace of shopping and a beautiful fish lunch by the sea. Yassine made our experience so much more enjoyable, explaining the sights and sounds of his country. Nothing was too difficult. I would recommend this company to anyone wanting to experience the real Morocco in the hands of really warm and friendly people.

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.
