“Jalal was our driver, he shared interesting information along the way in French and English. I feel like the french part of the group benefited more because not everything was translated to English. It was really interesting to learn about argan trees and argan oil production at the cooperative. Essaouira is a wonderful day break from busy Marrakech.”

“Great transport experience to Essaouira. Hamza and the Pilot were friendly and made the whole journey smooth and comfortable. They were punctual, drove safely and shared interesting information along the way. We also had a 15 minute break at a great cafe along the way to enjoy tea, coffee and some snacks. We stopped by the Argan oil ladies, which was a really nice experience, and saw the famous goats climbing and feeding on the Argan trees. In Essaouira we had amazing seafood and were given around 4 hours to explore freely, which was perfect. Highly recommended.”

“Our guide and driver were both fantastic. The journey was smooth with plenty of comfort breaks. The views on the drive itself are amazing and so it doesn’t feel like that long of a journey. Essaouira itself is a beautiful town with plenty to see and do, a very welcome break from the hustle and bustle of Marrakesh, and our guide sent us some recommendations of things to do. We took a walk down to the beach vagabond cafe which is a bit of a walk, but lovely and peaceful along the seafront, and the view of the beach lined with horses and camels was great. Recommend getting a sugar…”
