Day trip to Essaouira - Spending the afternoon in Essaouira was a nice way to end our trip to Morocco. Houssain Tichira was a great driver with good energy.

Day trip from Marrakech to Essaouira - Driver was very professional, friendly and helpful. A definite must to visit Essaouira. The vehicle was comfortable and spacious. Enjoyed the Argan oil visit on the way. The group was diversified and enjoyed chatting to the different people from all over the world. Thank you.

Trip to Essouira - Our driver was punctual and very helpful to listen to our requests (like stopping for breakfast). He drove very well and it was nice talking to him. Both the start and finish were punctual and the time spent in Essouira was perfect, neither too much nor too little. Experience absolutely recommended!

Good for the price - Tour did what it said and got us to Essouira. However, it was very hot in the van and not a lot of direction. Good for the price but not as good as a private tour.

Essouira - The views were a lovely change from Marrakech. The market was huge and outdoor near the sea. Different vibe. Definitely a place to go check out. The driver tried his best to drive as fast as possible flying at times in the vehicle. Wasn’t a huge fan of the travel but was well cheap £11 total to get there and back. About 3hrs there and another back with about 20 mins break. On way there we had two breaks. It’s well worth price.

Good for if you need a fast driver to get to the beach - The bus was packed so difficult when sharing with taller tourists. The speed made the journey uncomfortable as you can feel all the bumps in the road. I bumped my head a few times as i was sitting in the back of the bus. The driver stopped at 2 locations for rests and they were clean especially if you need the bathroom. The area itself is stunning, it is lovely for a walk around day at the beach and exploring a busy market. Views are stunning, we had 35+ weather, perfect with the breeze. Note, the primary languages are French and Arabic so communicating in English is difficult and AI translation isn't always great. Overall great price given how much taxi drivers charge in the marrakesh area alone. Drivers came promptly at 8am

A place that should be on your visit schedule - A highly recommended experience. A city with history, craftsmanship and very easy to walk. An amazing beach. We missed a guided tour of the city, a point that would have been exceptional. But in general a city that must be visited on any tourist route through Morocco

Pay less, dont pay this tour - This is not a guided tour. Houssain is a driver, not a guide. He left us on the middle of the busy street on the way back in Marrakech. Essouira is charming little town and we loved it. Regarding the argan oil production - its not worth the money we gave to see that.
