Upon reaching Essaouira, explore the harbor that was once amongst the leading international ports of the 18th century, forging vital trade links between Morocco’s Saharan interior and the wider world. Delve into the medina, constructed with European fortification principles in mind, visit La Scala (the historical military fortification) with its Atlantic-facing cannons, the former Jewish district ‘El Mellah’, and the central plaza. Enjoy some leisure time after lunch.

Perfect tour guide - We were able to spread the trip individually over 2 days. Hassan was a great driver and tour guide. We can highly recommend him. He has a lot of background knowledge and a lot of stories to tell.

Unforgettable experience! - Our driver and guide Lahcen was very good from all points of view, reliable, punctual, extremely discreet, attentive to our needs. He always asked us for feedback. We left from Agadir picked us up at our address and drove us to Essaouira. He always drove with great care and caution, even planning individual breaks. He showed us the town in detail. Being with the guide was also a real advantage to move in a maze of narrow streets and avoid the most crowded areas. He has selected for us some workshops in particular those for woodworking. Our children watched the craftsmen at work. At lunchtime he found us a restaurant with terrace and sea view clean and really classy. He also provided us with a lot of information about Moroccan culture, history and society. It was really an enrichment to our holiday! Thanks again Lahcen!

Perfect family trip – highly recommended! - We were in Morocco in September 2023 and did this tour as a family (2 adults and 1 child with 9 years) with Mohammed. That was already our 2. Travel with Adi Tours.
We had a wonderful day and can recommend this trip without restriction! Everything was perfectly organized, and every detail was thought of. We were particularly impressed by the friendly and competent support – we felt completely comfortable.
The activities were varied and ideal for both children and adults. Our whole family had huge fun and we would come back anytime! If you are looking for an unforgettable experience, this is the place for you.
Thanks for this great day – we will definitely be back!
Many greetings also to Adi with whom we also experienced a great tour in 2022. We hope he's in good health.

Best day-trip to Essaouira! - Our second day-trip with Muhammad from Adi Tours as our driver-guide and another wonderful day out. As a private tour, we were driven via the very scenic coastal route both ways to/from Essaouira with sightseeing and comfort breaks. A lovely walking tour of the fortress medical, a fabulous seafood restaurant for lunch (Muhammad secured the best table with sea view for us), afternoon walking tour of the port and craft workshops, before heading back to Agadir. Muhammad is the most courteous, knowledgeable and friendly guide and a very safe driver. Worth every penny to have the flexibility to choose what to see and do without having to follow the crowd in a large tour group.

Adi Tours are the best! - Instead of booking with our tour company (and having the inevitable wait whilst people turn up late at meeting points!), we booked two private tours with Adi and they were honestly the highlight of our holiday. Nothing was too much trouble. The guided tours gave a fascinating insight into life here and local knowledge of sights and restaurants were invaluable. We really enjoyed the experience and would highly recommend it to everyone.

Perfect tour, would recommend Adi Tour again at any time - Adi Tour was recommended to us by other guests in our hotel. After an uncomplicated booking via email, we were picked up on time from the hotel the next day by Mohamed, Adi Tours. He accompanied us excellently throughout the day with perfect German and lots of information about the country and its people. Thank you again, we felt very comfortable.

Excursion from Agadir to Essaouira - Morocco's little St Malo is well worth a look. It is a sardine fishing port that you absolutely must see, as well as these fortifications. With a guide, you will be taken to the souk, learn the history of Essaouira, formerly Mogador, and see the island of the same name.
Excursion to do (possibly plan to cover up a little as it is quite windy)
Be careful, Agadir is quite far from Essaouira.

Excursions from Agadir - My wife and I took two excursions following advice. Mohamed was our driver and guide at the same time.
We were delighted by the service, the ride and the kindness. In addition, the car was very comfortable, I can say that I was traveling in an armchair. Mohamed controlled his driving well, I was never stressed especially since I am not used to being a passenger. We had a lot of explanations throughout these little trips and it was also very nice to be able to talk. Mohamed stopped at interesting places and also sometimes at our request!!!
Thank you and Respect for this tailor-made service!!!!!

1 day Essaouira - We decided on a 1-day trip to Essaouira and booked with Adi Tours. I found the company by chance online and I have to honestly say that I don't regret it at all. Adi spoke really good German and told us so much about Morocco and took time for us. You can definitely tell that he is passionate about his job, that he loves this country and its people, but that he also enjoys traveling with tourists. A great person with whom you can talk about anything and with whom you can learn so many wonderful things about Morocco. In Essaouira, we were able to look at the old town, the harbor, etc. as a couple. It was a really nice experience that we would do anytime and the next time we come to Morocco, we will definitely book with Adi Tours again. Thank you so much for everything!
