Day in Essaouira - It was really good the only little trouble was the weather. The super nice driver with the children too and to explain things to us on the road, I recommend it!!!! We would have preferred to stay longer so we could enjoy Things to do like horseback riding on the seashore for the kids and many other things.

Very safe driver - Very straight forward, good pick up, they very generously waited for 2 boys who had overslept. Very safe driver, we arrived just before 1pm, left at 5pm and we were back in Marrakesh by 8pm. The only thing is that the minibus is quite small so a bit tight for my husband!

Long but interesting day trip from Marrakech - I appreciated the clear advance messages I got from the operator re pick up time and place, and that there wasn't a long wait between pick-up and the tour vehicle setting off. The trip itself includes (c3 hour each way) minibus travel to and from Essaouira, with a stop at a service station midway (and an extra stop at an Argan outlet on the way). Once you are dropped off you have c4 hours to do your own thing. (i.e. there is no guide or commentary/recommendations from the driver - but he did point out the Tourist Information - but that was unstaffed when I went in). However, I did find Essaouira an interesting place to walk around, have a nice meal in, and spent time on the sandy beach.

Do not recommend - Essaouira is a beautiful, quiet, and slow paced town. A very welcome refresher from the big city. The tour of the argan “factory” was cute and the tour guide and saleswoman were amazing. However, I would never book this transit again. The bus was supposed to leave Marrakech at 830 and return by 530. We were picked up a 5 minute walk away from our Riad. After pickups, moving us to a different bus, and the driver stopping to get gas, we did not leave town until 930 and were returned to our pick up spot at 9pm (we didn’t even leave Essaouira until 5pm because we didn’t get there until 1). The main reason we booked this was because the ad said the busses had a/c, but the driver said it did not and it was devastatingly hot. Understandably the people at the front of the bus became too windswept from the highway speeds to leave the windows all the way open and only three windows at the front of the bus opened. We made sure to wait for the bus early on the way back to ensure we were at the front for the return, but we had no control over this in the beginning.
