Description
Meet your driver at your hotel in Marrakech, or at a central location, for the trip to Essaouira, a laid-back city that's cooled by sea breezes. On your way to Essaouira, make a stop at an Argan oil cooperative, learning how the golden oil is produced using traditional techniques. Upon arrival in Essaouira, set out on a short guided walking tour to get your bearings in the UNESCO-listed historic center, which is ringed by fortifications with great views of the ocean.
Then enjoy free time to see and do what you want. You can sip mint tea in the Moulay el Hassan square, browse for souvenirs at the bazaars, or try freshly caught, local seafood at an open-air restaurant. Rejoin the driver and group after an afternoon of exploration and begin the return trip to Marrakech, where the day concludes with drop-off at your original departure point.

Essaouira is a port city and resort on Morocco's Atlantic coast. Its medina (old town) is protected by 18th-century seafront ramparts called the Skala de la Kasbah, which were designed by European engineers. Old brass cannons line the walls, and there are ocean views. Strong "Alizée" trade winds make the city's crescent beach popular for surfing, windsurfing and kitesurfing

Press repeat
Yahia our guide was great and very informative. Flawless command of the English language with personal attention. Even recommended local advice for my injured knee. Schedule was literally accurate to the minute. Would repeat this trip again. We enjoyed our trip and it was stress free and even provided us with his wireless hotspot for those without service for info needs.
Thanks Yahia!

Full Day Excursion from Marrakech to Essouira
We had an amazing experience on this full-day tour from Marrakech to Essaouira. The transportation was comfortable, and our driver/guide was exceptional. He was incredibly kind, always checking to make sure we were comfortable and asking if we needed anything. He also spoke Spanish, which made the trip even more enjoyable.
Essaouira is truly a magical place. We had plenty of free time—around four hours—to explore without feeling rushed. We enjoyed the local gastronomy, did some shopping, walked through the beautiful streets, and simply relaxed while enjoying the wonderful weather.
Everything was well organized, and we highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Morocco. Thank you for making our day so memorable!

Not fabulous.
There is no guided tour, no air conditioning on the bus, and the trip takes 3 hours each way.
Operator response
Nous demandons au client de lire le programme avant tout, car le programme comprend 3 heures et la visite d’Essaouira dure environ 4 heures. Nous demandons également le respect envers les personnes et les touristes, car certains touristes se sont aussi plaints de votre comportement. Merci pour votre compréhension.

Beautiful day in Essaouira
It was a great experience. Alexandro our driver drove very safely and the 3h trip passed quickly. You also take a few breaks that are very pleasant to represent your feet. Overall very pleasant and beautiful. Essaouira is definitely worth a visit.
