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!

Perfect day trip to Essaouria - Very nice experience with Omar and Rabi. They picked us up on time in a close point to our accomodation which is a real advantage. During the trip explained everything to have a good understanding of what expected. If you want to visit Essaouria this is the right company to trust.

Well organised and very reasonably priced - A well organised trip to essaouira. Picked up promptly at the cafe de france at 8pm. Good communication from the tour operator throughout. Omar was a great guide,friendly and keen to give the history of his country and to ensure the trip gently smoothly. Rasheed was a safe and courteous driver who never took risks unlike .most of the car drivers on the road! The journey was broken upwith 2 stops on the way, one for a loo break and coffee stop, no hassle, no hard sell, and also an argan oil cooperative, interesting to see but again no pressure at all to buy anything. Essaouira itself is a pretty town with a very pungent fish market and a beautiful medina which is more laid back than Marrakech. We arrived back at 7.45pm . All in all a very good experience
