The driver and guide ahmoub were excellent. We stopped at goats in a tree and an argn cooperative on the route. Essaouira itself was beautiful. Much more laid back than marrakech, the markets were easy to get round and gave a lovely vibe. The beach was stunning, although the sea in February is a little cold. I would definitely return here.

Mohammad was a very knowledgeable, patient and accommodating driver/guide. He was also a safe driver and followed speed limits. We indicated our interests and plans and he went out of his way to accommodate our requests. He was a fountain of information on the trip.

Kind and helpful driver plus someone else to assist. Great communication around pick up time and location. Allowed us about four hours in Essaouiara and we saw what was included in the description of the trip too.
