The best Driver Achraf! - We were driven by a very nice driver, his name is Achraf. During the trip he told us where the best places to eat were. He also told us about the history of Morocco. I 100% recommend this transport to see the coast of Morocco.

Genial - Highly recommended the trip I also have to mention the Achraf driver who drives really well (not normal in Morocco) and has always been attentive that we were comfortable on the trip up or down the air and giving all kinds of directions

Really good - It was an amazing trip, the very friendly driver left all the passengers in his hotel no matter if it was inside or outside the Medina, made several technical stops and made the road enjoyable, highly recommended

Value for money, organised. - This was exactly what we wanted - a shared ride to Essaouria at a great price. It is not a guided tour, (which we like as we are happy to do our own thing). The driver (I think Osaf) was great and we knew exactly where to be and when (even though we were the only English speaking people on the bus!

The village itself is beautiful and very good atmosphere but sincerely 3h30 to go and another 3h30 to return is not worth it. - What they don't tell you: 20° less than in Marrakech. An air... I'd say rather ventilated laden with sand. A chaotic souk with lots of people and very unpleasant smells. Impossible bathroom... 😑
