Such a lovely day out from Agadir. The trip was well planned, and the journey was smooth and comfortable. We had enough time to wander through the small streets of the medina, see the fishing port, and enjoy the fresh sea air. Essaouira is peaceful and full of character. It was the perfect mix of sightseeing and relaxing. Definitely worth doing if you’re staying in Agadir.
We had a great day trip from Agadir to Essaouira. The journey was comfortable and well organized, with a friendly and professional driver who shared useful information along the way. Essaouira is a beautiful city with a relaxed atmosphere, charming medina, and lovely ocean views. We had enough free time to explore, walk along the port, enjoy fresh seafood, and discover the old town at our own pace. Everything was smooth from start to finish, including pickup and return. A very enjoyable experience and a good way to discover Essaouira in one day. I would definitely recommend this trip.
Super activity and very friendly guide!!! On the other hand the break at the gas station not great, pity we did not have the time to stop to take some panoramic photos and the discomfort of the mini bus.
Merci pour votre avis ! Nous sommes ravis que vous ayez apprécié l’activité et la sympathie de notre guide. Vos remarques sur l’arrêt photo et le confort du minibus sont bien notées nous travaillons déjà à améliorer ces points pour offrir une expérience encore meilleure. Merci encore de nous avoir choisis et au plaisir de vous revoir pour une nouvelle aventure à Agadir .
