Perfect.

Perfect, it’s the drive to Essaouira and there is a visit to a traditional Argan oil factory (women’s village work) before arriving in Essaouira. The visit of Essaouira is free, to enjoy it better, avoid sitting at a restaurant terrace or the service may be slow😅

Deserves more time and preparation

A beautiful city that deserves more time to visit and more preparation to explore it. A song to tolerance and coexistence.

Great.

We had Aziz as a driver for our excursion. Best driver during our stay in Morocco. Pleasant and careful driving! (It must be said because it is very rare!) We recommend this agency.

Excellent

Will try to make and redo and even stay in this city if you have the possibility. Ibrahim the driver on time, attentive, offers you many stops to eat, take pictures of the landscape. He picks you up from your home and drops you off there. Arriving in Essaouira, the Said polyglot guide assured, funny, benevolent, shows you around the city telling you its history, advises you to eat and shop. They are awesome I recommend 100% and 20/10 for everything.

Highly recommended! Very well organised and no messing about. Driver was on time and friendly and told us exactly what to expect. He also told us what was included in the trip so we weren't charged extra at any point.

Good.

Ibrahim is a good driver who shares his Wi-Fi on the bus. In the driveway we visited a women's cooperative of argan oil it was very interesting. Arriving in Essaouira, a guide gave us a tour of the city for an hour. Good day, good Price quality ratio, cheap for the day round trip and tours included in the price.
