Maroz – United KingdomDecember 4, 2023 – Verified booking

Badr & Issam is our driver and tour guide. Trip to Essaouira was a great experience! They pick up us on time and there is also explanation of the tour along the trip. What can I suggest, if you are extra size or big group maybe book for a private tour. The car seat is for average people.

Juan – SpainDecember 4, 2023 – Verified booking

The excursion was very good, they picked us up on time. They sent us an email the day before and a confirmation via WhatsApp. We went by van-bus (it had air conditioning) and after picking ourselves up we went to the place. long trip, there are 2 breaks, 1 at a cooperative in Argaz, where after a brief explanation and tasting, they leave you in the store so you can buy (somewhat high prices), it is not mandatory to buy anything. Then you get there, they leave you approximately 4 hours of time, and then the similar return only with a stop at a roadside bar. all right

Alma – SpainDecember 3, 2023 – Verified booking

They picked us up near the Riad and were punctual with the pickup. Moha and Boja were very friendly and the trip was very comfortable, in a fairly new mini bus. During the journey, our guide Moha explained the history of Essaouira to us in English, we also stopped at an argan production cooperative. We had 4 hours of free time to explore the city and the rest of the time we were traveling.
