A day on the coast with the freshest fish you could hope for - Great day out visiting a traditional seaside town with a madina which is easy to navigate and a fisherman's quayside where you can buy fresh fish and have it cooked in front of you... take a wet-wipe or two!! Thank you Charaf for an excellent day and for entertaining us!!!!

Essauira day - Incredible experience, Charaf has been the kindest person and has explained us at every moment the spaces, history and everything in a very funny way. We'd give it 10 but you can only 5 stars. I recommend 100 experience.

Interesting trip. - We arranged a good break on the way to Essaouira, visiting handmade and breakfast. Along the way the charaf guide gave a very careful reminder of the landscape passing by in detail. The service of charaf was very attentive and fun, added a lot of joy to our trip and highly recommended.

Nice trip to a beautiful place. - Flawless execution, pleasant guide and the destination itself (beautiful town of Essaouira) worked just fine. While I appreciate the PC aspects of the visit to the women’s argan oil cooperative, it is something one can easily skip (unless you’re interested). Essaouira is way different to Marrakech, which is a blessing if you’re familiar with the crowds in the medina. Fresh oysters @ €1.00 (!) were delightful!

Day trip to Essaouira - Charaf is a very energetic guide with lively explanations. The ride to Essaouira, a beautiful and tranquil town at the seaside, is about 3 hours, and it was definitely worth it!
