Great trip the driver turned up on time to collect us from our hotel, we stopped on the way to see the goats in the trees and was good also to see the process of the argan oil production at the factory. 👍🏻

SUSAN_M, Sep 2024

Great to visit in one day,firstly great price at 25$ per person for a 2 hre ride ,see the arid landscape,argan oil trees plantation,stop at production woman cooperative ( very high prices wait to souk to buy) arrive at essaouira walk on beach,see tour and birds and kids swimming,visit lively souk with white & blue kiosks,enjoy fresh fish at restaurant.Great dzy,some use it for transport from Marrakesh to Essaouira or Essaouiara to Marrakesh because of low fare but have to travel light.

Don’t do if on a time crunch

Stephanie_J, Sep 2023

Do not do this tour if you have a tight schedule and have to be back in Marrakech by an exact time. Tour was meant to start at 8, we were not picked up until 830, and did not leave Marrakech until 10am. During the pickup, the driver got into an altercation with someone on the street and punches were thrown, and people were hitting the bus - somewhat a scary experience. In addition, I had selected English tour, but the driver spoke French and everyone else on the bus spoke French. We made 2 stops along the way - one for a drink/bathroom, the other for Argan oil, of which there was reference of goats in trees - they don’t exist. We arrived in Essaouira around 1pm, and we left at 5pm. We had a stop at the drink / bathroom location on the way back, but did not get back to Marrakech until 830pm.

Petite excursion sympa avec une jolie ville à découvrir au bord de mer et de belles ruelles à parcourir. Coopérative de femmes pour l’argan sympa à voir et à apprendre la façon de faire. Attention produit chère. Temps libre dans la ville pour promener et manger librement ou l’on souhaite 👍
