We had a great experience with Soufian on the trip to Essaouira. He offered to arrange a tour guide in the city, but we chose to see the town by ourselves. We opted in to the women's argan oil co-op visit, but because it's a private drive you can choose if you want to do that or not. Very easy to arrange hotel pickup and pickup in the city back to Marrakesh.
Hello, Thank you very much for your kind feedback! I’m really happy to hear that you had a great experience on the Essaouira trip. I’m glad the flexibility of the private drive suited your preferences and that everything from hotel pickup to the return to Marrakech was easy and smooth. It was a pleasure assisting you, and you’re always welcome back for another adventure in Morocco.
The tour to Essaouru and Argan Forest from Marrakech was such a great experience. Being an American I felt safe and relieved that I was in good hands with experienced driver and able to understand English. I highly recommend this company : Marrakech First Trip agency

Thank you again for choosing Marrakech First Trip, and I hope to see you back in Morocco for more adventures! Warmest regards, Soufian Marrakech First Trip
We called late in the morning around 9am, and the agency and Soufaine did everything to accommodate us, even though they normally leave at 8:30am. Soufaine picked us up at 10:30am. He was very knowledgeable and incredibly kind. We will definitely be travelling with him if we return to Morocco. Thank you for a great, relaxing day.
Hi Dear client, We hope everything goes well with you, thank you for your excellent review for us and we are glad to hear that from you. We wish to see you again for another experience, for you, your friends or family. Thank you Best wishes
Excellent experience during day trip to Essaouria. The ride was just long enough and the city was magical. My driver and guide were amazing. They both gave suggestions and allowed me to pick what I wanted to see and do with no pressure to do anything other than what I wanted to do. Couldn't have asked for a better day.
Thank you Miss Shanelle for your review, we wish we see you again for another experience.
Me and my friends were picked up at the hotel early morning by the wonderful Soufian. It was a smooth hour and a half drive before we got to a tree filled with goats. Soufian is great because he tells you when the best time to tip the people are according to the culture of Morocco. We took photos and videos in front of the tree with the goat and Soufian let us take our time. Soufian showed us a couple places that sold Argan Oil and showed us how they make it. He then took us to Essaouira and it was so beautiful. Soufian connected us with a tour guide who led us around the markets and city. He knew alot of history about it and showed us where Orson Welles lived. He let us take as much as we needed to shop and take photos. He showed us the best restaurant to eat at where the food was so good. We ended the day at the harbor and then left the city in good spirits. Soufian gave a smooth ride on the way back home.

An extraordinary day. The driver drove us to Essaouira stopping in a cooperative of women growing Argan in all its forms. They showed us the whole manufacturing chain it was particularly interesting. Then we reached Essaouira and enjoyed the day riding horses and camels, then we returned to Marrakech. The journey is a bit long but the driver made the trip pleasant and warm I strongly advise this company whose services are excellent
