Beautiful day out - Beautiful day trip from Marrakesh. The trip was well organised with a clear meeting point (we were staying within the city walls where the minibus cannot drive, I think if you stay further out then they can arrange pick up). They used WhatsApp for good communication. The driver and our guide were so friendly and helpful. It is a ~3 hour drive to Essaouira but they arranged some interesting stops with argan oil, tree-climbing goats and a traditional mint tea. Essaouira is beautiful, and very different from Marrakesh to see the ocean and fortress. We had a great day.

Trip to Essaouira from Merrakech - The transport was comfortable and had air conditioning. Hamid was our driver, and he gave us a relaxing drive. Our guide was Mustapha. He was cheerful and gave us information about sites as we drove. We stopped at an Argon oil cooperative and the 'goat tree'. We had a break halfway going to and coming back from Essaouira, which was appreciated. I would recommend the trip.

Highly recommended experience - Experience that is absolutely worth the price, which indeed is really derisory. Abdul was nice and helpful throughout the trip, always smiling. The price includes the air-conditioned van, a visit to an argan oil cooperative where you can taste several good things, a tea on the way back and even a break to see the goats climbing the argan trees

Great excursion to Essaouira - Great excursion to Essaouira!
It's a three-hour drive but it's worth a visit. Beach, fresh fish, shopping and ramparts... the top!
Thanks to Mustafa, our guide during the journey who will inform you on broad topics and always with good humor!
