Stress instead of recovery

Poor communication at pickup, first 12 minutes walk to pickup point, then closer, 2min walk. 35 minutes after the scheduled appointment the bus arrived. Only a band announcement could be reached by phone. :-(

Operator response

Hallo, vielen Dank für Ihr Feedback zu Ihrer Reise zwischen Marrakesch und Essaouira. Wir entschuldigen uns aufrichtig für das Missverständnis, das heute Morgen entstanden ist. Unser Fahrer hat Sie kontaktiert, aber anscheinend funktionierte Ihr Telefon nicht oder der Anruf konnte nicht zustande kommen, was leider zu der Verwirrung geführt hat. Wir entschuldigen uns für die Unannehmlichkeiten. Ihre Zufriedenheit liegt uns sehr am Herzen. Bitte zögern Sie nicht, uns zu kontaktieren, falls Sie weitere Unterstützung benötigen oder falls es etwas gibt, das wir verbessern können, um Ihre Reise angenehmer zu gestalten. Vielen Dank für Ihr Verständnis. Mit freundlichen Grüßen, Khalid

A Pleasant day out away from crowded Marrakech.

The driver Hussain was very polite and spoke good English. He kept in contact with me on WhatsApp and told me he would be a little late. He got out open doors for us. His vehicle was clean with nice carpets on floor and pleanty of leg room. The journey went according to plan and the whole experience was very precise and pleasing!

A visit to Essaouira is a journey of discovery where every corner reveals a new layer of beauty and wonder.

Essaouira a coastal gem of Morocco, captivates with its timeless charm and vibrant culture. Its fortified walls echo tales of history while the bustling medina offers a sensory delight of colors and scents The rhythmic sounds of Gnawa music fill the air inviting visitors to immerse themselves in its rich musical heritage. With its windswept beaches and azure waters Essaouira beckons adventurers and dreamers alike to indulge in moments of serenity and exploration.

Quick trip to the Blue City!

After picking us up at the hotel, and going around all the hotels... we took the road for about 3 hours. We took too long a break in an oil cooperative, to finally discover the beautiful city of Essaouira. On site you will stay until 5pm. Which is wide to visit and eat in a typical restaurant, and end up with a walk on the beach. Very nice day in autonomy.

Essaouira

Very nice day in Essaouira. Everyone is friendly and very welcoming. A very good restaurant at lunch. Visit to a cooperative that makes argan products on the road. It takes about 3 hours drive from Marrakech, with a break for coffee and another for the cooperative. Nice day. Very nice bus driver. From us we saw a tree full of goats....
