Delayed departure, dangerous driving, bad behavior and above all with 15 people in the minibus leaves the car to a friend to teach him to drive. A travel disaster and with a lot of danger with the drivers. We arrived at laa 13,00 from the 8,15 we were picked up. Poorly managed and too unprofessional to report
Nous sommes vraiment désolés pour cette mauvaise expérience 😔 Votre sécurité et confort sont notre priorité, nous prenons vos remarques très au sérieux.
Omar 549 was our guide and driver today. He was amazing, he spoke very good English and multiple languages. He explained so many different things to us so well. We stopped for coffee breaks both ways at a lovely service area, Then at the Argon trees where they were growing, followed by a stop at a Women's co- operative, were we tasted the food products as well as cosmetics. We then had 4 hours free time in the town shopping and eating very good food. Omar was very friendly approachable and informative, excellent local knowledge during the trip and couldn't have been more helpful. First class driver, and guide, made us feel so welcome. Thank you for a wonderful day, we learnt so much.
Thank you so much for your detailed review! 🌟 We’re thrilled that Omar made your day so enjoyable with his friendliness, knowledge, and guidance. It’s wonderful to hear that you appreciated the stops, free time in town, and all the experiences along the way. We’re glad you had such a memorable and informative trip!
The experience was fantastic, beautiful landscape, but better even better was the company of our guides Youssef and Khalid!
Muito obrigado pelo seu comentário! Ficamos felizes que tenha apreciado a paisagem e a companhia dos guias Youssef e Khalid 🌿🌟
You pay for transport 2-way, good value for the money. Like all the other companiies that have trips to the town. The coasttown in great and really pretty, easy to spend 3-4 hours. Driver/guide was good, they did there job well. Sadly I can only 3 of 5 stars to this trip. Do stop at argan-oil "big" turist trap, taking one hour extra on the tour. Also coffee-break at a stop called "sahara" (both ways), where everything cost 3-7 times more than normal price - also a big turist trap, what a shame. Dear tour company, please skip those two stop, to make the tour extra good and save alot of time. A way to get lots of extra coustomers in the future.
Merci pour votre retour ! Heureux que vous ayez apprécié le trajet et le guide, nous prenons note de vos suggestions pour améliorer le tour 🚗🌊👍
Excellent trip to Essaouira. We had already taken this one-day trip with Abdelhadi as a guide, from Marrakech and MOROCCO TRAVEL HOLIDAYS. We repeated wtih the same agency. Everything ran smoothly. Good drivers, a couple of stops en route. Departure around 9 am , return time pick-up ast Essauisa port 5 pm. Arrival in Marrakech around 7:30. Very trustworthy., Don't forget to add them to your whatsapp in case you go back to marrakech. JUAN COSTA, Barcelona,. Feb 2025

If you ever decide to visit again, don’t hesitate to reach out via WhatsApp. Safe travels, and we look forward to welcoming you back in the future! 😊
On time pickup both times — loved the punctuality and no more than 5 min waiting for pickup. No one in the van wanted to stop at argan oil coop which was not an issue. The only issue was someone in the front of the van was sick and throwing up for the first 90 min and left window open so the van was super cold. No heating in the van at all.
Thank you for your feedback, and we’re so glad to hear that you appreciated the punctuality of the pickup! We truly apologize for the discomfort you experienced during the ride due to the cold and the situation with the sick passenger. That’s certainly not the experience we aim to provide. We’ll make sure to address this issue to ensure a more comfortable journey for everyone in the future. We appreciate you sharing your thoughts, and we hope to have the chance to welcome you again!
Great experiences in Essaouira in addition to some stops at Argan oil workshop, a place to enjoy a panoramic view of Essaouira and others. It’s a nice seaside town with a lot of cute street cats, but without being bothered by motorcycles, a great contrast to Marrakesh. We had an engine problem during the return trip but the guide Saeed handled it in a proper way. It took more than an hour to get a taxi but anyway we could get back to Marrakesh safely.
Thank you for sharing your experience! I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed the beautiful seaside town of Essaouira and its peaceful atmosphere, especially compared to the busy streets of Marrakesh. It’s great that Saeed, the guide, handled the engine problem efficiently, and even though the delay in getting a taxi was inconvenient, I’m happy to know that you made it back to Marrakesh safely. Sounds like a memorable trip overall! 😊
We had a amazing experience with Bahadi and Hicgam visiting Essaouira. A day spent in a village constructed by Portugueses 😌 The ride was smooth and comfortable, we did a stop at a coffee to take breakfast and then in a argan oil cooperative to learn more about this art. At the city we had more or less 5 hours to discover the beauty and to eat amazingly. Overall the experience was more then worthy 🤞🏻
It sounds like you had a wonderful day in Essaouira with Bahadi and Hicgam! Visiting a village built by the Portuguese and learning about local traditions, like the production of argan oil, must have been fascinating. The time spent exploring the city and enjoying its food is definitely a highlight. I'm glad to hear the experience exceeded your expectations!
Said and Elbachir have been very welcoming and kind with us during the tour, responding to all questions and making the trip smooth. We have enjoyed the tour! Highly recommend
Thank you so much for sharing your experience! We're delighted to hear that Said and Elbachir provided such a welcoming and informative tour. It's wonderful that they helped make your trip smooth and enjoyable. Your recommendation means a lot to us, and we're glad you had such a positive experience! 😊
This was a great experience. We paid for the transport from Marrakech to Essaouria. It was well worth the price. Bahadi was very professional. The price was inexpensive and well worth the experience. James
It sounds like you had a wonderful trip to Essaouira! Bahadi seems to have provided excellent service, and it's great to hear that the transport and overall experience were both affordable and enjoyable. Thank you for sharing your feedback, James! 😊
