A great ride in a beautiful environment - Frédérique and Edouard our guide were very available and welcoming for booking and visiting. Edouard picked us up by car 1 minute from our Riad, and we could discover the oasis with a very cultured guide, who knew how to answer each of our questions. The meeting with the weavers, and their hospitality were great and we thank them for it. The scenery was beautiful and the weather was very good. If we return to Essaouira, we will not hesitate to call on you again to organize a new visit to another beautiful place!

A walk and a delight for all - Frédérique (upstream) and Edouard (our guide for half a day) caught the attention of a whole group (aged 14 to 50): an outing with beautiful and varied landscapes, captivating explanations and all with a lot of kindness. Thanks again and hoping before the chance to come back quickly (and not wait 7 years ...) Lucy

Expensive venture in the surroundings of Essaouira - Nice oasis. Good lunch in a private atmosphere. I was traveling with 2 French tourists (mother daughter) led by a guide. So she tour was mostly accompanied in French. € 90 p.p. was relatively expensive for what was offered.
