(2,945 reviews)

If you are coming to Marrakesh for more than 4 days, this is an experience I recommend. Khalid, our guide, was very kind in giving us useful information for staying in the city of Essaouria as well as telling us what we were going to see. Even if it is a one day tour, time flies without realizing it.

It was a very nice day trip from marrakech. The driver was on time and the guide explained a lot of things about the region in both Italian and spanish. The city was beautiful, would be nice to have one hour more so eating doesn’t take time of visiting.

Smooth journey from Marrakech to Essaouira. Free time to spend there. We enjoyed the Medina and had a swim in the sea. It seems all of these days trips include a trip to an argan oil coop, which was fine.

The trip to essaouira was one of the highlights of our trip. I found the city to be calmer than marrakech whilst keeping the same charm. Our guide was really good as well

Unmissable experience. I recommend this guide. after multiple searches, this is the tour operator that offers the most free time in Essaouira
