Amazing day in the Atlas Mountains - Such a fantastic tour and day out. Was such an amazing experience to meet the Berber families, hike the Atlas Mountains, see all five valleys and meet the women of the argon oil co operative. Ismail could not have been a better tour guide, he made the experience memorable and kept us entertained and informed on every part of the day. Couldn’t recommend enough!

Belle journée - Très belle journée, voiture confortable, chauffeur très prudent , sympathique et intéressant. Visite d’une coopérative de femmes fabrication de l’huile d’argan, explications précises , produits de qualité, pas de «  pression «  pour acheter. Arrivée à Essaouira un guide nous attend et nous fait la visite , très pro . Il nous conseille un bon restaurant poisson vue sur mer . Bref tout était parfait. Seul petite rem: le temps de trajet 3h .

Fantastic Day!!!!! - Abdul was incredible! He was right on time to scoop us up from our hotel and made the journey to Essaouria delightful. He shared all of the history, extremely knowledgeable, very hospitable! The tour of the city was perfect. Our guide led us through the city and showed us exactly what we had asked for. The recommended lunch spot was fantastic! If I could give this tour a 10 star I would!! Absolutely perfect! Thank you, Abdul for the best day!!

Don’t miss visiting Essaouira - We thoroughly enjoyed our trip to Essaouria on 20 September. Our local guide for the walking tour was seriously impressive in imparting her knowledge. It is a beautiful city with a great history. Well worth the journey from Marrakech. Thanks also to our guide and driver.

Seeing Essaouira again! - Returning to Essaouira after 19 years was a great pleasure. Our guide Eunice allowed us to stop often, to take pictures of boats, old walls and to meander through the Medina and around the old walls. Upon request, he took us to 2 art galleries, the thuya and jewellery coops, and found us an excellent t seafood restaurant, Il Mare, with an amazing view of the ocean. Our amazing driver, Ismail, entertained us with facts and stories, making the ride feel shorter.

A different side to Morocco - This was a lovely trip to the coast. There were two main parts to the journey: travelling to and from the coast, and then the town itself. Our journey both ways could not have been better. The 3 hour trip flew by, as our very friendly driver, Iss, told us all about the local history and culture. By the time the trip finished, it felt like we had made a friend. In Essaouira, we were given a comprehensive walking tour of the town, and learned all about its rich history. We were also given as much time as we wanted to explore, have lunch, or visit the beach. Overall, we had a fantastic day - thank you Iss!

Take this Tour, you will be more than happy that you did. - Our driver, Mohammed, was courteous and did an excellent job of explaining the area and history of the cities and areas we went through on our way to Essaouira. With several stops, we can enjoy the beauty of each place we pass. Once in Essaouira, our tour guide Azziz, a native of the town. He showed us every aspect of this city and explained the history of what made Essaouira such a great place to visit. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone that is considering taking it.

See you again, my brother! - We are so happy that we decided to go to Essaouira! The tour was well organised and the walk trough the city with Aziz was just magical. Aziz is a local guide who knows everybody in the town and each sentence he says shows how much he loves the city. He told and showed not only the touristic side but small, unknown corners that usually tourists do not see. Aziz was such a nice companion to our children and we will keep him in our hearts.
