About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- James H0 contributionsAmazing, authentic full day out with added goats.A real taste of Morocco. An authentic local experience where if felt like we were visiting their home and they were welcoming us as their way of making a living. Beautiful scenery, friendly people, great 99 minute hike to near 2000m. Take good shoes and make sure you’re fit enough for a steep ascent over rough ground. Guide was excellent. Multilingual, helpful and knowledgeable. Take a mint tea at the top of the second waterfall and enjoy the view. Watch for the fearless goats tripping from cliff to chasm.Written 14 March 2025
- st_phiel20250 contributionsAmazing experienceWe did a tour with click excursion to atlas mountain,everything went as we wish.the guide Mohamed went extra mile to assist and run the whole group.all along the tour he tried to be as informative as possible.we few stops to take photos on the berber village besides plenty of informtions concerning the berber culture.all in all ,the activity is to be recommended with this company.Written 13 March 2025
- 529charliej0 contributionsLOVELY TOURWe had a lovely time on this tour - Khalid & Rachid are amazing guides :) I would recommend doing this tour. Highlight for us was the hike (1 hour in total).Written 13 March 2025
- BOMBTWINZ0 contributionsIncredible Tour with an Amazing Guide and Driver!This tour was incredible and my favorite in Morocco! Our guide, Sadok, was knowledgeable, sharing insights about every destination, and our driver, Mourad, ensured a smooth and safe journey throughout. Both were also incredibly accommodating—they allowed me to sit in the front with them because of my car sickness, which made the long drives much more comfortable. While the itinerary involves a lot of driving each day, it was absolutely worth it to experience so many places in a short time. The highlights for me were exploring the bustling souks and fascinating tannery of Fez, as well as the breathtaking “Blue City” of Chefchaouen—both were unforgettable! I only wish I had more time in each location, but if you’re short on time in Morocco, this tour is the perfect way to see some of the country’s most iconic sights. 100% recommend, and even better if you get Sadok and Mourad as the guide and driverWritten 12 March 2025
- Sightsee190709649920 contributionsAn unforgettable experienceThis tour was absolutely incredible! Pickup from the hotel was seamless, taking us straight to the quad bikes. The ride was thrilling—pure adrenaline from start to finish! Initially, I was given a slower bike, but the team quickly swapped it out for a faster one when I asked, so if you have a preference, be sure to mention it upfront. Midway through, we took a relaxing break with delicious Moroccan tea and biscuits before heading back. Overall, an amazing adventure that I’d highly recommend to anyone. Thank you!Written 11 March 2025

- richardkK7406HK0 contributionsRecommendedA pleasant day, even though the drive is a bit long, so it takes up most of the day. We were unlucky as the Kasbah was closed to visitors on that day due to filming, but regardless, it was time well spent.Written 6 March 2025
- travelgirluk20130 contributionsGreat tour, awesome guides!Our guide Oussama was so great! He spoke English and was very patient and kind with us. There was a lot of driving and he did a great job! It's also a very efficient tour, giving us a slice of each place with a tour guide to help us learn the history at every location. We also had some custom adjustments for the group which Oussama happily met. The riad in Fes was also great and the guide Fouad in Chefchouen was super nice and offered to take lots of wonderful photos for us!Written 3 March 2025
- mobytik0 contributionsUnforgettable ExperienceAbsolutely an amazing experience for me! Some of the visited sites were unforgettable and widen my horizons. The tour guide (driver) Oussama is so friendly & helpful, thoughtful & caring, also very funny. The vibe of this small group tour was cheerful & great!!Written 2 March 2025

- 757arrant0 contributionsGreat price, great location, great service!Great price, great location, great service! The booking included a high-quality taxi ride to the site, a quick-but-clear explanation of how to work the quad bikes and a decent length of a ride through the local area led by a guide. The ride involved two stops: one for the guide to take photos of us for us and another for mint tea. It was just the two of us that were there and I’m not sure if that’s always the case per booking, but we appreciated being the only ones! We also appreciated not being too “minded” — the guide led us but other than that we were left to enjoy the drive. I’d say this is great for new quad bikers like us, with lots of wide open areas and long stretches of relatively flat dirt tracks, perfect for picking up a little speed!Written 2 March 2025
- gatlinw20250 contributionsGreat accompanist, could have been more in the centre.The mosque was really impressive, we had to pay for it but because the guide bought our tickets on behalf of everyone it was hard to get back in to the museum. The mosque guide was great and knowledgable but with poor English and it seemed and points everyone was confused or unable to follow. The church was impressive but not as impressive. It was empty when we went bit a great example of art deco architecture. There was an impressive amount of pidgeons. The accompanist took us to a restaurant which I was apprehensive about. However, the Italian restaurant food was amazing. At the end we stopped at a impressive mall with a giant fish tank (with sharks!) but I was disappointed by this as I was hoping to be able to explore Casablanca more than being at a Mall.Written 27 February 2025
- LynnHerrick0 contributionsWonderful Trip to the Kasbahs and BeyondWe had a marvellous trip to the Kasbahs of the Atlas Mountains! From the pickup near our Riad to a final stop in the evening (where we did a bit of stargazing in the astonishingly clear Moroccan skies), the trip was both enjoyable and informative. There were nicely spaced stops for breakfast, to visit an Argan Oil Cooperative and to take photos of the gorgeous mountain scenery on the journey. And in addition to seeing the fantastically beautiful Kasbahs, we got to visit the Atlas Film Studios, where many films and TV shows have been filmed. Our guide and driver were fabulous, and manoeuvred the busy streets of Marrakech as well as the switchback mountain roads amazingly!Written 27 February 2025
- Anth M0 contributionsInteresting tour into the mountainsRachid was a great host for us on our trip. He explained lots of things about the area, the Berber people and the culture. The Argan oil stop was very interesting. We stopped at a great spot on the mountain road for photos. The hike up to the waterfalls led by our local guide was excellent. It's not too hard if you are used to walking up hills. The stop for lunch was very picturesque and the food was very good. We stopped at a traditional Berber house on the way back and that was very informative. A very good tour and I would recommend.Written 26 February 2025

Together with Zakaria Elkhal (our driver) we had an unforgettable experience in Essaouira. During the journey he was able to entertain us and made us discover local activities such as the production of argan oil (the initiative to support small local businesses was very nice). Once we arrived in Esaaouira, we had four hours to ourselves to explore the city and enjoy the ocean. During the journey he played music of various genres for everyone to sing together. The travel hours literally flew by. Which is no small feat, he speaks Italian.
I highly recommend Zakaria Elkhal and his team if you want an unforgettable experience.

Me and my family booked the trip the day before, and they arrived on time and greeyed us with open arms, the driver was called Mouhsin and the guide was called Walid, since the tour was fully booked I had the pleasure to sit up front with the two gentlemen, we were given the plan of action, starting off with a brief stop in a cafe, for a toilet break and a quick snack if you were hungry. The drive was comfortable and being in the front made it great fun as well, later we stopped off in a lovely place where argan oil is made (it is used in cosmetics and things like that.) We got a tour and we got a few samples as well, all very organised. One final stop was a viewpoint just outside essaouira, lovely views. When we arrived we were given around 4 hours to explore the town before returning to the point where we were dropped off. A wonderful place, lovely beach, food and atmosphere. When we returned to the bus, we were greeted with a new years present from Walid, a selection of Moroccan biscuits/sweets. A lovely touch to a five star trip. Walid speaks Spanish, English, French and Arabic to a high standard and this trip comes at a very reasonable price, highly recommended by me!

The company was careful with me, since I didn't know the language. The delay in boarding of more than 30 minutes was justified by the delay of some tourists who did not comply with the scheduled time of departure . The place of the stop for breakfast is clean and very nice, but super expensive. A small coke was charged 15 reais, but the gruya warned me about the prices. If they are so expensive , maybe it 's time to choose another place . Which I realized most do not consume anything. Friendly and responsible driver and guide.
Unlike Marrakech merchants, most do not negotiate the prices.
After all, it is worth knowing and experiencing the artisans of Essaouira who artisanally produce the argan oil, touched me deeply in my soul.

We booked an excursion to see Esaouira with the GuruWalk platform and I don't recommend it. They picked us up in a very uncomfortable and narrow minibus, with leather seats that hurt your whole body and were slippery. The trip was a pain after paying and they picked you up at the hotel. , they save the toll to visit the famous argan stores in which they rob you, since you find it much cheaper in any store in Marracheck or Esaouira, which becomes a 3 and a half hour trip, both one way and the other. On the way back, after such a beating you are at the destination for about 3 hours, to see the coast and a 4-street souk. It is only transportation, there is no guide when you arrive at Esaouira, look for a separate guide.
Long trip nasty and kamikaze driver.

I had an amazing time on this tour. The tour started right on time and our guide Ismail and driver Ibrahim were very professional courteous and polite. They were there right on time at 7:40 AM for our pick up at the pick up spot which was very easy to find and closed to my riad since the vehicle access to riad was not possible. Some of us got picked up straight from the hotel if there was a possibility. They ensured throughout the trip that we are comfortable. We were a group of around 11-12 people of English, French and Spanish speaking and we were given all the details throughout the tour in our language. The vehicle was AC and seating was comfortable so we did not feel like we are stuffed in the van. Our guide Ismail was very informative and full of knowledge. We stopped on our way to see the Argan oil trees and Ismail explained us the whole process and facts around the tree plantation and extraction. On our way we stopped at women Argan oil cooperative to know story and process behind extraction of Argan oil and there were some amazing products to buy as well if you are interested. I bought the famous Moroccan black soap from them. We were given sufficient breaks in the way to get freshen up and eat and around 4-5 hours to explore the city. When we reached the city Ismail gave us choice to explore the city on our own or with him. Some us chose the later option and he helped us to understand the history and cultural facts around the coastal city of Essaouria. As I was travelling solo so Ismail took extra care that I feel safe and comfortable at all times. This was my third day tour with Click Excursion and I found myself highly satisfied with all my trips including this one so I will highly recommend Click Excursions.

Great family day in Essaouira!
The organization was perfect, and our driver Yassin made a flawless. Very punctual, it gives the relevant explanations. The stop at the women's cooperative for the production of argan oil was very interesting. The journey did not seem too long thanks to the break in a well equipped stop. The discovery of the city was simple, very pleasant. We were able to visit the old medina, find an excellent traditional restaurant very cheap, shop at the souk, stroll near the beach and enjoy the sun...
We were on a private excursion and we were able to manage our time as we wished, Yassin being very attentive to our requests.

This trip is effectively a taxi from Marrakech to Essaouira which is exactly what we needed! Whilst the guide gives you some tips on the best places to go you do all of the exploring yourselves. You have a good amount of time to get a feel for the city and this particular beach town is highly regarded by all here.
The blue boats and markets here are worlds away from the hassle and busy nature of Marrakech. Souvenirs here are cheaper too! Highly recommend cafe moroc for lunch as well!
The only reason we have decided to not give this 5 star is because the services were expensive on route and the driving was a little manic. This combined with some of the seatbelts not working was a little concerning at times. Nonetheless a great trip and we would do it again!

Beautiful experience. The trip was pleasant, thanks also to the company of our Guide Zakaria, who allowed us to discover more about this beautiful city, also making us have fun.
During the long journey we stopped for breakfast and before arriving in Essaouira we stopped at a community where they produce Argan oil.
In Essaouira we recommend eating at the port (at the Fish Point of Sale), where you can buy fresh fish and have it cooked on the spot.
On the way back we made a last stop to rest before returning to Marrakech.

Mohamed was very attentive and friendly at all times, he only accompanied us on the journey inside the van and explained the planning of the day to us, but the excursion is free and they give you 4 and a half hours to tour the city and eat. The journey was 3 and a half hours one way and 3 and a half hours back from Marrakech, with 1 stop on the way and 1 on the way back to have a drink and stretch our legs. It's true that every time we stopped Mohamed asked us how we were doing and he knew Spanish, Moroccan and French. I recommend it! Although as a note I have to say that the entire road has bumps in the ground and the 3 and a half hours were very uncomfortable.

My friend and I took a day trip to Essaouira! Mahjoub guided us during the trip, we even stopped at a cooperative where argan is produced! once we arrived in Essaouira we were given time to explore independently (which I highly recommend).
finally during the return journey, the driver Ramanya entertained us with music and good humor.
Super recommended! (there is also wi fi on board)
