Fantastic day

My husband booked this trip and we were pleasantly surprised. We had a private taxi for the day which makes a trip better straight away. Abdul was very knowledgeable and happy to answer our questions. We did wine tasting and nibbles firstly and it was lovely and a peaceful location. We then carried on to our destination where we were met by Jamal (aka Jimmy) he was great. Very knowledgeable and you could tell he loved the place. He found us a lovely restaurant to have lunch and we were the only ones in there so felt quite special! A really good day although we were left exhausted🙈🤣.

Essaouira Tour from Marrakech with Get Your Guide

We went to Essaouira from Marrakech with a guide in Spanish to Essaouira with Get Your Guide. They stop you at an Argan oil women’s cooperative and like most of them they were Italian because they speak to you in Italian (we had hired and paid in Spanish). The worst thing is that the stop (in the way and back) is made in a bar in the middle of nowhere that is a tourist cheat. They have no prices and charge what they want (on the way and back they charged differently for the same products). Very expensive (and more so being Morocco). For two coffees (they were already made) and two small Neapolitans were 12 euros. Shame on the truth. The site is called BAB MOGGADOR. DO NOT take anything there!! A greeting

Ourika Valley and the Atlas Mountains

Nice excursion, especially in relation to the.price. Convenient means of transport, friendly driver and we took a guide to the falls, also patient and helpful. If you have time it can also serve as a break from the chaos of the city.
