Fra Marrakech: 1-dages grupperejse til Essaouira

A guide with extensive knowledge of the history of Morocco, with estimates of the dates of all the sultans and kings who have ruled Morocco, a man of remarkable intelligence, this gentleman is named Hassen

Our driver, Anass, picked us up at the arranged spot. He was on time an we drove to pick up other passengers. The road from Marrakesh to Essaouira was very lovely. Anass made sure, that we made enough breaks (bathroom, food) On the way we stopped at the Arganoil tree with the goats, we visited the Arganoil factory and stopped shortly before Essaouira to see Essaouira from the mountain. We had a beautiful day and would recommend this day trip to escape busy Marrakesh.

After touring through the Atlas to the desert and to the famous cities like ait ben haddou, we choose to visit Essaouira as a final trip for our Marokko vacation. Not only can i recommend visiting this beautiful city (which is a lot cheaper and peaceful than Marrakech), I also have to admit that i never had a nicer and more qualified driver. On the 2:30h drive, he gave us great tipps and informations about the history and all the gorgeous places in Essaouria. After we told him that we needed a transfer to the airport, he even managed to get us a cheap taxi so we didnt have to negotiate.

We took the tour with Anass to Essaouira and it was exactly as described. He is fluent in English and French and was a good driver and a very nice guy. We shared the car with a family of four and got to see the typical touristic spots on the way there (goats in trees, which i was not very fond of because it felt like a tourist trap and the goats looked unhappy / argan oil production / viewpoint over essaouira). We had about 3 hours in the city which was beautiful and I could have done with a bit more time there. All in all a great day!

Bellissima giornata in giro per souk di Essauria e lo splendido mare. Tragitto da Marrakech a Essauria in piacevole compagnia dell'amico Alì!!! tutto perfetto e indimendicabile! Beautiful day around the souk of Essauria and the splendid sea. Travel from Marrakech to Essauria in the pleasant company of our friend Ali!!! everything is perfect and unforgettable!

Our superb, sensitive, thoughtful and above all safe driver Mostapha Idrissi took us comfortably to the amazing coastal own of Essaouira, such a contrast to Marrakech! The service was impeccable in every respect and would recommend this unreservedly. We could easily have paid twice as much to be with a coachful but to be in Mostapha's car was an unbeatable way to experience this. For me the highlight was the truly amazing bustling fishing port. You can't not eat fish for your lunch after seeing this Thanks, Mostapha

It already started with the booking. No feedback until I announced to cancel the booking. I was supposed to be picked up at my riad at 8am. It was 8:30 a.m. with the lame excuse that you couldn't know all the riads. Since Google Maps, route planning should no longer be a problem, should it? How should 18 people be. The surprise was a 20-strong Italian tour group with its own guide and I the annoying appendage. The vehicle much too small. All right, we all fit in. But I felt like the chicken in the laying battery (the back screams in pain! I am only 170cm tall and could not find space for my legs) According to this group was organized. Goat tree now argan cooperative=tourineppund drag. Finally at noon in Essaouira. Just that Yussuf told me that we'll meet here again at 4pm. Schwupps, everyone had disappeared and I was standing stupidly in a non-kosher corner with no plan. No info about highlights, where you could eat or anything like that. Thank you very much. When I got back to the agreed meeting point around 4pm, the driver waited to take me on foot to a restaurant at the other end of the medina. The Italians had only just finished their lunch and were now leaving for the city tour. Aha!? Finally back at 8:45pm and released into the night 1km before the best possible stop. Conclusion: Service looks different. Too expensive for a mass transfer.

We were picked up in the morning by our very good-humoured driver Wissam at the hotel without any problems and then taken by him in an air-conditioned nissan van for two to Essaouira. On the way we stopped briefly for a photo top with goats on a tree and at an olive oil factory (this was very touristy). Afterwards we went quickly to the port city, where we were let out in the center and relaxed made a meeting point for the return journey. Essaouira is ideal for relaxing from the hustle and bustle of Marrakech, strolling through the relaxed Médina and looking out to sea. The people there are much looser than in Marrakech! On the way back we got to turn on our own music and Wissam showed us his favorite music and was fun! He drove very safely and you felt comfortable! Highly recommended excursion!

Had an amazing trip thanks to First Marrakesh Tours,was a great change of pace from the buzz of Marrakesh and Essaouira is a beautiful coastal town. We couldn't believe how flat the countryside was on our journey.

It was a nice trip and the guide gave us good information about the area. He was also friendly! Bashir thank you for the good information you told us, when you came specially to our hotel! The price you paid is definitely worth the trip. The communication between the organisation and the touriet is also great. You can call them or send a whatsapp message and they will answer in one minute! Greeting, Arishia
