Took a private tour. Driver was friendly, punctual and informative. The trip is worth. We had nice seafood with shore view.
Very nice experience, the person who brought us Karim, very helpful and kind
The tour driver ontome pickup from my hotel in an A/C van was very convenient. I was vrry disappointed with the town. Nothing really to see or do except more souco shopping. The port has a terrible smell not clean at all. Do not recommend it
On time very friendly Ashraf our driver.of a confortable a/c van. There was no tour or sharing info on Essaouira and you eill be just on your own experience in 4 hours for lunch and visiting few sites. It takes 6 hours driving in a very straight and good road with beautiful views of the country side. We did not like the port.
It’s was fantastic adventure and we have a good driver Mustapha

I went on a solo trip to Essaouria, the company contacted me long in advance to coordinate all the details. On the day, the picked me up on time and our driver Achraf gave us a good intro to Morocco, its culture and traditions, as well as good tips on what to do during the visit in perfect English. Overall, a great experience.
