Youness was a great guide and the transportation picked me up from my hotel and was on time. Overall great value for a day trip getting out of the city to experience the coast of Morocco

Our trip from Marrakech to Essaouira was the perfect escape—peaceful, scenic, and full of charm. Eunice, our guide, was outstanding: warm, knowledgeable, and attentive throughout the day. We loved the stop at a women’s argan oil cooperative and exploring Essaouira’s relaxed medina, historic ramparts, and beautiful coast. The fresh seafood by the harbor was a treat! Highly recommend this experience—Essaouira is a gem, and Eunice made it unforgettable

One of my favorite stops that I made in Morocco after visiting 7 places. The people were calm and kind and the breeze felt great. I love fishing so the port area where they sell fish and then you can take it to get grilled was a memorable experience. I would go back and spend a couple more days here, don’t miss this city when you’re in Morocco. Thank you Massimo for all the extra information and staying involved throughout the road time.
