Amazing Over the day - Over the day, Base and Nourddin became quite amiable. Amin told us all the statistics and data on the lengthy drive there and was quite informed. Once you get at the site you are left to your own discretion, consider what you wish to do there before to make the most of the 4.5/5 hours there before the trip back.

Amazing experience - Excellent character and humorous sense of direction. We stopped to observe the oil-making process and had the opportunity to buy anything. After that, we spent 4.5 hours of free time in Essaouira, where it was gorgeous. You won't let disappointment define you! Thanks, drivers.

wonderful - Our encounter with Lahcen and Nourddin was quite remarkable! While we were on our approach to Essaouira, Lahcen went over his way to provide us some quite interesting information about the city. The pick-up was exactly on time and conveniently near to our Riad. The journey went easy and comfortably. If you wish to spend a day in this gorgeous city, I highly advise booking with them on this trip.

I like this one , tripadvisor is the best - The guide phoned me to confirm that I knew the shuttle arrived on schedule; this is quite good. Younes was a truly friendly and informed guide. We got four hours to roam around in the small city and on the beach essentially doing what we wanted which was very lovely. We enjoyed Essaouira and the cuisine was first-rate. Our guide, Lahcen and driver, let us know where to find the best restaurants and areas for walking about and were quite polite.

Our Marrakesh to Essaouira Full Day Trip was rather amazing! Particularly if you are just visiting Essaouira for the day - Our Marrakesh to Essaouira Full Day Trip was rather amazing! Particularly if you are just visiting Essaouira for the day, the transportation was quick and made the travel considerably more handy than boarding a bus from the bus station. Our stay was much more fun because of our nice and helpful guide, Lahcen, who also provided insightful information and pointers for seeing Essaouira. Yassin, the driver, guaranteed a flawless and cosy ride all through. All things considered, a well-organized and fun travel — highly advised for a hassle-free day excursion!

great day - On time, excellent transportation, informed guide Lahcen who spoke English and French fluently. Essaouira is a different experience, most certainly advised! Excellent value for money; kindly tip the staff; more than what is needed.

WORTH IT!!! - Perfect; our guide Amin was perfect as well. found us lost and waited for us. With wifi connectivity, the bus was rather comfy. We took quick breaks as well. The business with oils was the only drawback. They were urging you to keep buying much more. The town was excellent, with outstanding architecture, cuisine, many little stores. highly advised for a long chilled day outing. Thought he wasn't coming at first as we waited in the wrong place for pick-up and didn't know at first. The driver and the tour guide were quite helpful. We returned to our riad, and he rang us, patiently awaiting us. The trip took about three hours, stopped half way at a coffee shop, then into the argan oil shop where you could see the beautiful lady creating the items from the start. There is loads to buy. Essaouira is a fantastic beach town that we would be well worth seeing. sandy coastline with fantastic markets and stores down several cobblestone lanes. The lunch we came upon was quite friendly and good. also a reasonable cost for the travel; simply book it; you won't regret it.
