Great way to experience... - Great way to experience essouira. The pick up was on time, the Driver and the tour guide Yunis was helpful. One thing i was surprise about was prior to the pick up, I Message the operator Via Viator Who Messages me for pick up location. I asked about the Contact details of the Driver or the vehicle plate number but the operator replied that i should not worry because the Driver will not swam me about the pick up. Although my question was just too basic and necessary because there are many vehicles from other tourist company. Other than that we had great time with this trip. Thanks to Yunis and the Driver i didnt able to get his name. I would recommend this.

Day trip to Essaouira - Spending the afternoon in Essaouira was a nice way to end our trip to Morocco. Houssain Tichira was a great driver with good energy.

Day trip from Marrakech to Essaouira - Driver was very professional, friendly and helpful. A definite must to visit Essaouira. The vehicle was comfortable and spacious. Enjoyed the Argan oil visit on the way. The group was diversified and enjoyed chatting to the different people from all over the world. Thank you.

Good for the price - Tour did what it said and got us to Essouira. However, it was very hot in the van and not a lot of direction. Good for the price but not as good as a private tour.

Essouira - The views were a lovely change from Marrakech. The market was huge and outdoor near the sea. Different vibe. Definitely a place to go check out. The driver tried his best to drive as fast as possible flying at times in the vehicle. Wasn’t a huge fan of the travel but was well cheap £11 total to get there and back. About 3hrs there and another back with about 20 mins break. On way there we had two breaks. It’s well worth price.

Good for if you need a fast driver to get to the beach - The bus was packed so difficult when sharing with taller tourists. The speed made the journey uncomfortable as you can feel all the bumps in the road. I bumped my head a few times as i was sitting in the back of the bus. The driver stopped at 2 locations for rests and they were clean especially if you need the bathroom. The area itself is stunning, it is lovely for a walk around day at the beach and exploring a busy market. Views are stunning, we had 35+ weather, perfect with the breeze. Note, the primary languages are French and Arabic so communicating in English is difficult and AI translation isn't always great. Overall great price given how much taxi drivers charge in the marrakesh area alone. Drivers came promptly at 8am

Pay less, dont pay this tour - This is not a guided tour. Houssain is a driver, not a guide. He left us on the middle of the busy street on the way back in Marrakech. Essouira is charming little town and we loved it. Regarding the argan oil production - its not worth the money we gave to see that.
