Great day out to beautiful windy beach Essaouirsa
Fantastic clean car. Aziz was our guide and driver. Aziz was funny and very helpful. Aziz gave us great recommendations on where we could have our seafood meals, any restaurants by the port where one could buy the fresh catch from fishermen and then having them cooked in the affiliated fishermen restaurants. Prices were reasonable too. We did not see any goats on trees because we need to be super lucky to catch the scene of goats on trees in the natural way as explained by Aziz. Aziz’s 8 seater is super comfortable and air conditioning was top notch in this super hot weather of 45 Celsius summer. Thank you Aziz. We had a great day at the beach.

Excellent!
We had to take an excursion to ouarzazate but on the day of the excursion while we were on the road with Yassin our driver (super friendly!!!) it started to snow very hard the mountain road was blocked by the gendarmes and we turned back .. Nevertheless, the agency immediately offered us alternatives and we left the next day in Essaouira with Issam (great too!) We had a great day, everything went great I recommend 100%!!!
