Lovely day out in a great Moroccan city by the sea watching the world go by drinking mint tea and watching artisans play - Loved the trip - thank you Omar and our driver. It’s a beautiful city and vibrant to be a part of for the day. Loved sitting in the square watching the world go by … relaxing 😊

Amazing experience. - The tour guide was very helpful. The tour was very interesting and informational and the good thing about this tour is we were able to explore in our own space and had enough time to enjoy Essaouira.

A glorious day by the ocean - Essaouira is a spectacular coastal village well worth the time to visit. Our guide, Omar was hospitable and knowledgeable and shared information about the village and Moroccan history on our way. We made the obligatory stop at a woman’s argon oil cooperative, and it’s wonderful how the people of Morocco support these women and provide work and care for them. A beautiful day, so value priced for the transportation and experience

Great way to visit Essaouira - Wonderful experience! Pickup was right on time. If your Riad doesn't have street access, reach out to them and they can find somewhere easy nearby. The tour guide was incredibly welcoming and very happy to chat and answer any questions. Four hours in Essaouira is perfect. I did it as a solo traveller as a way to get to Essaouira for day, and I would recommend it without hesitation!

Essaouira in my opinion... - Essaouira in my opinion is absolutely a worth visiting city.The problem was just that we spent too many hours in the mini bus which was very tiring.Overall however it is recommended!

It was ok. - It was a very long day. I'm not sure it is worth the long journey, as the Medina and stalls were all the same as we've seen before. The beach was beautiful, very pretty and clean. I wish we had spent the whole day on there instead of wandering the rows. It's a lovely place to visit if you enjoy the markets, but for us, we had seen enough. We also felt our guide could have done a lot more. He never gave us any interesting information along the way, and fell asleep coming home. He was more interested in us leaving him a good review. Well, sorry, but I didn't. Our driver was lovely, and took care of us on the chaotic roads. Would I recommend this trip? Yes if youve not been in Morocco long, but if you have and you have already spent ages in the Medina and Souks, then don't bother.
