Half day escape from Marrakech - We had a chill half day in Essaouira, four hours was enough for us to explore. Our guide Mustafa is very friendly and helpful, he gave us some useful general information and suggestions. We bought some seafood and had them grilled for lunch at the port. It was a really great experience for us. Then walked through Medina and along the coast. The place is full of tourists but still made us felt calm and comfortable. Definitely recommend the tour.

Lovely break by the sea - Charaf, our guide, was very friendly and knowledgeable and made our day a lot of fun. He even had the whole minibus clapping and singing Berber songs!
We had a lovely time by the sea in Essaouria. It was much cooler than in Marrakech and a welcome break from the city. It was lovely to finish off the day as a group drinking traditional Moroccan mint tea.

Excursion to Essaouira 🇲🇦 - Very good experience for this day trip from Marrakech to Essaouira.
We visited an argan oil cooperative where tea and honey tasting were offered. Possibility to buy products 100% produced in the region.
Then free time to visit Essaouira, medina and seaside and on the return: tea of friendship offered by our guide Charaf who was French and English. He also offered us a friendship bracelet 👍🏻

Amazing country, and lovely people. - This trip was amazing. Everything was organized, and Charaf took care of everyone. He made a fun trip, he kept people active during the way, he played music and made up singing arabic songs. It was fun. We had free time to discover Essaouira, the beautiful coast of Marruecos. It is well recommended to have your trip with Charaf.
Thank you Charaf.
