I had a wonderful day all it is superb well spent Younes explained very well the course of the day to do again with my children
It is a good day trip, driver was nice but vans need more air conditioning! City is nice but not too many things to do, service was good
Thank you for your feedback. We’re happy to hear you enjoyed the driver, and we appreciate your comments about the van’s air conditioning and cleanliness — we’ll make sure to improve these points for future guests.
Driver was nice but vans are poorly air conditioned and cleaned, I thought the city was nice but there is not much to do after an hour or two.

Interesting excursion to visit a coastal city of Morocco, our guide Younees very nice and friendly, comment that you could extend the time in the city, 4 hours is done recently.
The food and the views was amazing. And there is also good music. I really like the experience. For family or friends it’s good.
The tour was great! Essaouria was an awesome city and a great break from Marakesh in the summer. I would recommend overnight if you can - otherwise a day trip with these guys is perfect
Super excursion Younes is a great guide thank you very much to him and his kindness. Essaouira is a beautiful city.
Good visit! The guide was good and the experience was satisfying, I suggest it to go to Essuira easily without many thoughts!
Essaouria is a wonderful place, which offers views and emotions decidedly different from marrakech. The friendly and welcoming guide
The views are amazing. Essaouira is so beautiful and not chaotic. I recommend this trip. The guide was very nice. He didn't speak much Italian, but he worked hard to accommodate us and make himself understood.
