A comfortable ride to charming Essaouira - Our day trip from Marrakech to Essaouira was a very interesting and fun experience. Our guide/driver spoke excellent English and told us many interesting facts about Essaouira, as well as about the smaller towns we drove through, and about Morocco in general. In Essaouira we had several hours to tour on our own. The town has a charming and relaxed atmosphere. We really enjoyed our trip.

Essaouira, wonderful - We had a great day. From the beginning of our day we punctured a tire. Ismael, our driver, handled the situation superbly. Little downside, the breaks are a little long. We were waiting for our driver for long minutes in front of the car. We stayed 4h max in Essaouira. It's athletic, but it's done. Ismael is available to take family photos, we are delighted with our day. Beautiful city, we've got plenty of eyes. Much quieter than jemaa el fnar square. I recommend with older children. Otherwise the day will be long....

Fantastic day trip! - What a wonderful day in Essaouira. So glad that I choose Sky and Sea Land for this day trip to this oasis on the ocean. Khalid was terrific and helped educate me on what I should make sure to see and do while in Essaouira and was great to speak with on the 2 1/2 hour drive there and back. The transportation was new, extremely clean and very comfortable. Overall a great day and experience.

Essaouira - Ahmed was a very prompt, professional and knowledgeable guide. His English was very good and he did a great job of thoroughly explaining any questions that we had. He had a nice vehicle and made sure that we were comfortable at all times. At the beginning of our trip he assisted me at a local pharmacy in getting the proper medication for my cold. As far as the tour of Essaouira, it was a very beautiful coastal town with a Medina that was cleaner and more open than others that we visited. I highly recommend Ahmed as guide.

Lovely day trip to Essaouira! - We spent a wonderful day visiting Essaouira with Cherif as our driver and guide. He punctually picked us up in a clean and roomy SUV and we were off. Along the way, he provided information about the history of the region, argan oil with a very informative stop at a women's cooperative, and information about Essaouira. After exploring the medina and having a delicious seafood lunch by the ocean, Cherif was waiting to take us back to Marrakech. He cheerfully accommodated stops we wanted to make for photos. Thanks Cherif!

Unprecedented experience - Following our delay of about ten minutes the driver was kind enough to wait for us in front of the hotel where we had resided last June in Marrakech. We were able to visit the souks of Essaouira, taste delicious grilled whiting, sardine, and monkfish... Introduction to Kitesurfing in the afternoon, and we were able to reach Marrakech at the end of the day. We're planning a second trip on January 23rd, difficult to find the same people but we hope to find the same Mood.

Good - The driver was very nice and drove very safwly always followed speed limit. This tour is more a drive as his english was limited. He was very nice person but no informtion was given to learn about city or country..However he was willing to take is wherever we wanted if we told him what we wanted to see..Aragon Cooperative was very nice and interesting.
