Obe day at the seaside city - We enjoyed the day at the seaside city very much: the harbor, city walls, markets in the old city and the beach with waves and surfers. The guide Said was excelent and very friendly, helped us also with initial Maroco experience as well as Mohamed the driver.

Very nice coastal town!!! - Very nice excursion. Comfortable. Many small restaurants in Essaouira but you should be wary of the food processors who tell you that yes there are desserts, there are wine, pizzas, fries... when it is not true. In short, at Saint Malo the grilled fish are very good but apart from a tomato salad and a soda , you will not have any accompaniment 😟

Essaouira day trip 😃 - Take the day out of the hustle and bussle of marrakech and do a day trip to the seaside resort of essaouira. Wander its narrow streets and take in the sea air beautiful architecture. While there is still a bargain to pick up, don't forget another 'magic' box, the harbour is a sight to behold and the beach is such a nice place to relax. The trip is a long day starting at 8.30 pick up and takes 3 hours with the usual stop at an organ operative. That said im so glad I went, really enjoyed it and highly recommend 😊

The Pearl of the Atlantic - Essaouira called Sleeping Beauty and the Pearl of the Atlantic. It's my second time here, and every time you breathe sun, sea, fish and relaxation. The first time I stayed one night to enjoy from the terrace of the Riad both the sunset and the a, a feeling of peace. The second time, this year, with an organized tour, but I recommend at least one night to admire even just the sunrise on the salir del mare.Caratteristico the souk, the port where fishermen sell fish to restaurants and shacks that are located before the Medina, and where the seagulls eat the scraps of pesce. Consiglio the experience of eating in the shacks, good fish / price ratio.

Great day trip to Essaouira - Everything worked out as planned, we spent a great day with Badr and Allawi, who were very nice, punctual and knowledgeable. Essaouira was very nice and perfect for a day trip, with an easy to walk Medina and ocean. Would definitely recommend.

Visit Beautiful Essouira with Viator - Aziz, our guide, was awesome. He speaks several languages which was helpful on our tour. Aziz was very informative, kind and patient. Essouira is beautiful and right on the ocean. A lot of markets and places to eat, have a coffee. Along the waterfront many lovely restaurants as well. As a solo traveler I felt like our free time of 4 hours was too long. I would recommend this trip!!

The guide was useless because he had nothing to say. In fact, he had no training. - The bus driver gave me more comments than the guide which was absolutely useless, no knowledge of the area.
