          Great experience with Yassine
          The experience itself was very good. Food was fantastic. The driver that picked us up might be a comedian because he had jokes going the whole time. I would do it again for the experience and the food and fire show. It can get a little crowded, so if there is an option to pay a little more but have fewer people, it would make the experience even better

          The most exciting part of our trip so far!
          Wear clothes your comfortable getting very dusty! Prepare for a long day but a very beautiful one. The quads were a fun ride, but would recommend going with a smaller group if you can, if you'd like to drive fast! The camels were very calm and it was a pleasant ride. The show at the end and the food were perfect.

          Great deal for the price!
          We had a great time- this trip packed in a lot for the price. The views were incredible and I highly recommend going for a later time in the day- a sunset camel ride is an experience I will never forget! Ask for Yassin- he was great!

          Perfect trip out
          Booked this package for my wife birthday and could not be happier Akram was in contact with us the day before and on the day for the pick up arrangements, he was fun and upbeat and also very safe driving, he even stopped off at an Argon oil place for us to visit and have mint tea . The camels were well looked after and a little naughty which was funny and the quad bikes were great. The food was epic and the entertainment was amazing. Alarm got us back in good time and very safely we would definitely recommend.

        Excellent day out to the seaside. Booking was easy and Communication was excellent. They confirmed the booking and pickup time at our hotel. Karim our driver arrived on time and was very helpful & polite throughout our journey. His driving adhered to the speed limit and made sure we all wore our seat belts for safety. We stopped along the way to see the goats in the trees and visited an argon factory plus a stop for a break. We had a lovely 5 hours in the Port city to see the medina and grab a lovely lunch in a roof top terraced restaurant soaking up the atmosphere and enjoying the views of the Atlantic Ocean. The journey back was smooth with no issues. An excellent day trip which we are happy to recommend. Thank you Karim and the team. 👍

        Lovely experience and tour, we had a great time!
        Stopped on the way on an Argan Oil Cooperative, lovely people and great info given.
        Essaouira is just very cute and affordable, and Karim gave us very helpful info about the city and places to visit and answered all our questions on the way. Very recommended!

        I cannot stress enough how beautiful Essaouira is and it is worth a visit. However, we definitely do not recommend the driver (Yassine) we were assigned for a trip on 8/07/2024. The process started well as we received a message on WhatsApp the time and the place for pickup. The mini van that arrived was unmarked and no sign on the windscreen to indicate the excursion company name. We managed to ensure that this was the minibus we were going to travel with. The driver never introduced himself to us. The first time we heard his name was at the end of the trip to ensure we would give him good reviews. At one of the collection point, we witnessed the most unusual situation. Instead of getting off the van, crossing the street and greeting the customers, he thought more appropriate just to whistle at them (a little bit like cattle) and wave at them to get them to cross the street and get in the minibus. Quite shocking. Just on the outskirts of Marrakech, first stop for a coffee and vaping with a couple of customers. The driver showed again the worse kind of attitude when he decided to play music to all the passengers so that he could have his side conversations with a couple of vaping buddies at the front of the minivan. Being left out and segregated did not go unnoticed by the rest of the passengers and made us feel like we were a burden.
        It took us 3 hours 30 minutes to get to Essaouira. We spent 4 hours there. The return trip took also 3 hours 30 minutes CT. The only reason for getting to know his name at the end of the trip was to ensure we would give him a good review. There seems to be a competition between drivers so that the one with the most reviews can drive more customers and get better pay. An absolute disgrace.

        Yassine was our supposed tour guide aka the private driver. He was a good driver, that’s undeniable, however that was all. He was no tour guide, he didn’t explain the itinerary well, no explanation on the city that we were going or any city that we passed through throughout the journey. He didn’t speak that much or give any recommendations apart from giving you a ride. Which was not very helpful unfortunately. But Essaouira itself is an amazing city I wish we have more time to explore.

        The day visit to Essauoria was very nice, the 4 free hours were well exploited and regenerating. Our driver Younes was really nice and helpful, giving us precautions to avoid unnecessary expenses, great chat and top playlist. He recommended typical places to eat and where to buy local souvenirs, including original Berber carpets. Very interesting also the stop at the argan cooperative Marjana, prices a little higher than the herbalists or souks of Marrakech but all products have purity certifications. The stop at the goat tree has not been planned for about one year to protect the welfare of the animal and not subject it to abuse for tourist reasons : TRULY APPRECIATED. Although this Younes still made us see the "famous" tree, still appreciating its beauty. Overall rating 10

        I recommend the experience, Yassin has taken us, he has been very friendly and entertaining along the way to make it as enjoyable as possible, he spoke Spanish then he could explain things about the landscape. We made a brief stop at a women’s cooperative of argan oil where in addition to teaching the process of argan production we were given to try different oils and honeys with tea. As for Essauria, we found it a charming city, small but with a very cute architecture, I recommend eating in the stalls of the square. A 10 excursion.

        This was exactly what we expected and if someone wants to visit Assaouira for a single day I would totally recommend. The trip is around 3(+3) hours and you have almost 4 hours to spend in the city, as you wish, without being forced to go at prearranged restaurants, etc. We've found the available time more than enough and we didn't feel being in rush.
        The mini bus was comfortable and clean, and Yassine, the driver, was kind and careful.

        I recently had the pleasure of traveling with Hicham on a trip to Essaouira. I must say that he exceeded my expectations in every way possible. From the very beginning of the trip, Hicham was informative, helpful and above all, enthusiastic about showing us the sights and hidden gems of this beautiful place.

        Throughout our trip, Hicham was extremely knowledgeable about the local culture, history, and art. He was able to provide us with a unique experience by taking us to places most tourists never get to see.

        More importantly, Hicham was approachable and friendly, creating a comfortable and engaging atmosphere for everyone.

        Sincerely,

        Great trip! 10/10 would recommend to friends. Karim was our driver and he did a good job. If you’re looking to escape the craziness of Marrakech, Essaouira is an awesome city with beautiful sights & laid back people that are super friendly. Although we only had 4 hours to see the city, it was enough time to grab lunch, haggle a bit in the Medina, see the Wall ramparts & fishing boats, followed by chilling on the sand at the beach. Essaouira has a laid back beach town vibe with beautiful scenery.

        A fantastic day trip to Essaouira. Karim our guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. Seeing the goats in particular was a highlight for our 2 children- 4 and 6 years old. The journey went quickly with various stops on the way. Essaouira beach was beautiful & the children loved going in the sea to cool off. Would highly recommend.
