Excellent Trip - We called late in the morning around 9am, and the agency and Soufaine did everything to accommodate us, even though they normally leave at 8:30am. Soufaine picked us up at 10:30am. He was very knowledgeable and incredibly kind. We will definitely be travelling with him if we return to Morocco. Thank you for a great, relaxing day.

Amazing - Excellent experience during day trip to Essaouria. The ride was just long enough and the city was magical. My driver and guide were amazing. They both gave suggestions and allowed me to pick what I wanted to see and do with no pressure to do anything other than what I wanted to do. Couldn't have asked for a better day.

BEST DAY in Essaouira and Argan Forest - Me and my friends were picked up at the hotel early morning by the wonderful Soufian. It was a smooth hour and a half drive before we got to a tree filled with goats. Soufian is great because he tells you when the best time to tip the people are according to the culture of Morocco. We took photos and videos in front of the tree with the goat and Soufian let us take our time. Soufian showed us a couple places that sold Argan Oil and showed us how they make it. He then took us to Essaouira and it was so beautiful. Soufian connected us with a tour guide who led us around the markets and city. He knew alot of history about it and showed us where Orson Welles lived. He let us take as much as we needed to shop and take photos. He showed us the best restaurant to eat at where the food was so good. We ended the day at the harbor and then left the city in good spirits. Soufian gave a smooth ride on the way back home.
