Very good organization We are satisfied with the organization of the day (meeting point for departure, animation of the driver during the journey and stopping points for example local women cooperative for the processing of argan
I did two tours with this company and both were excellent. I went to Essaouira for the day and it was very worth it, I had plenty of time to get to know and the city is beautiful. I also did the desert day tour which was very complete too, the food very good and the guides very attentive and friendly. Fully recommended.

Beautiful experience... the wonderful view... welcoming people... it was a special day .. The tour was well organized from start to finish
Great day in Essaouira accompanied by Rachid throughout the ride. We bought fish and some seafood at the Port Point of Sale that we brought to a local restaurant that they cook for us. It was a great moment, Rachid is a person who will make you discover this beautiful corner of country. Thank you for your kindness and kindness. On the return we had the chance to witness a real fantasia, Rachid it is stopped so that we can enjoy this magnificent authentic show.
absolutely perfect, super trust worthy but also flexible at the same time, When we decided to the city we decided we wanted to stay the night. We were worried it might be harder to return but thanks to Come to Morocco we didn't have any issues whatsoever :) super smooth experience and very tailored to our last minute decisions :)
3h ride to Essaouira with stop for breakfast, Arganfarm and pictures from the goats in the tree’s. Then we had min. 3h in the oldtown. After a short break on the beach we drove back to marrakech. Thanks to Rachid for the beautiful day 💪🏻🇲🇦👍😉
our tour leader, Rachid, took us to places which we couldn't find if we were not using his tour. we had great time in this tour. Rachid , our tour leader, was great , friendly, and trustworthy. He knows good restaurants and locations, which all were nice. he was a very careful and safe driver with a good car. he even share his mobile hotspot with us. Rachid was always on time ( early). he knows many languages and can easily communicate. strongly recommended
Good day spent in Essaouira, the day is organized as it should be, in the morning goat tree and the making of argan oil, we arrive in Essaouira around noon and we had time to visit in free area until 17:30
Deal and good driver, recommended They also let us see more things than I had the plan, and it travels very comfortable
Great! They are well organized, kind, available and serious!! A superb excursion, very decent price. I recommend
