Great relaxing day trip to take from Marrakech! The guide Rachid and driver Mouhsin were kind and helpful. They send you links of things to do and there are breaks along the way and back.

Definitely one of the best tours we did while in Morocco. It was a great day spent with Aissam and our driver, Yassin who navigated the bus through the chaotic traffic like a PRO. Aissam is an absolute star guide, he’s very friendly and helpful, explained everything very well, made some recommendations and looked after all of us at all times. The whole trip had a relaxing vibe, the cafe we stopped at had delicious pastries for breakfast, we never got rushed, had enough time to explore Essaouira and its beautiful beach on our own and enough time to get a nice meal as well. The weather was amazing and the people very welcoming, just the perfect combo. I’d highly recommend to book this trip and I’d definitely do it again in the future.

Although this trip is self-guided within Essaouira, this was made clear from the description and reviews, so it was expected. We were given just over 4 hours (midday-4pm). Khalid is a very knowledgeable guide, and has a lot to say about the region. Bouja was a very good driver.
