Along the way, admire the view of the countryside through villages and fields, then stop at a small argan oil cooperative run by local women.

Super trip with Ayoub!!! He is very kind ..
Thank you so much for your lovely review! We’re delighted to hear that you had a super trip to Essaouira and that Ayoub made the experience even better with his kindness. We’ll be sure to share your kind words with him. Hope to see you again soon for another amazing trip with marrakechcitytravel
It's not a tour There is no guide Simply a very punctual and cautious driver drives you from Marrakesh to Essauira with the stop at the cooperative. Find the same tour for much less since it is just a transfer
⚠️ It's a scam and they're gonna trick you. It is not really an excursion, but just a transport. • It leaves later than announced (about 9:30 or 10:00). • You arrive at almost 13:00 and at 17:00 they already bring you back. • The driver doesn’t return you to the same place of departure, and because he’s in a hurry, the return makes it faster (he uses tolls that he doesn’t take to the first leg). • He pulled us out of the vehicle in bad ways and we had to pay for a taxi to get back to the hotel. • Enterprise says it's a mistake, but it happened to all the passengers. In conclusion: I do not recommend this Service. There are more serious companies, where they even drop people off at their hotel or wherever they prefer.

We travelled with Mourad and the experience was really positive. Punctual, professional and very helpful, made us feel comfortable the whole way.
