This was the highlight of our trip while in Morocco. This coastal town is beautiful! The shopping is great too - found so many great pieces of art and clothes here. Since my friend was interested in learning about the Jewish history behind this town, our tour guide took me and my friends to the Jewish Quarters within the city when the official tour was over. We were able to visit a Jewish school that made beautiful jewelry and were able to buy it. I think the tour guide’s name was Zaid - I could be wrong. But he was so kind and even had his friends sing Happy Birthday to me in French and Arabic, since it was my birthday. So sweet! Wish we could’ve stayed here longer. This experience was unforgettable!

For a private trip, this was perfect in terms of price and services. Our driver was great, very dynamic, the journey was smooth. Our guide as well was very interesting and nice. The stop at the argan shop is a little bit a way to make you buy expensive products but if this helps the women communauty of this village why not ? Expect also to spend around 15£ per person at least for the lunch but the seafood was really tasty and fresh. The souk at Essaouira is also much quieter than Marrakesh, and if you like art gallery this is the right place. I really enjoy the trip and recommend this experience.

Mohammed was delightful, informative , very knowledgeable and took us for a wander around town off the beaten track . Delicious food tastings , amazing markets and locations , a very local feel . He was charming , polite and professional . Very proud of his city . We had a fun few hours ! Thoroughly recommend to have a feel of the city and get to see the real Tangier . Definitely worth booking and good value for money

The guide was amazing, took some pictures and videos, spoke very good english, the pick up was on time and got some free tea as well which was unexpected. Recommend it for sure! And it’s very cheap too

It is a great tour and Rashid was very friendly. It would be nice to have a little time to shop for souvenirs at the end.
