    Was a beautiful trip with 3 stops on the way. Stopped for refreshment. Seen the goats up the trees and the argon oil shop was a bit of a rip off. Essaouira is a beautiful city on the Sea, the beach is amazing. Would definitely visit again

    Awful journey, uncomfortable hot minibus

    Maddenwaite, May 2023
    Don’t go on this excursion from Marrakech. It says 10 hour excursion and a 2 hour 45 min drive to essouria, we got picked up at 8:25, arrived at 12:25 and got back to Marrakech at 20:15. Although a nice place it wasn’t worth the journey. In route the minibus had an unplanned coffee break for 15 minutes then another unplanned half hour break at an argon production place. (Not what we wanted). Then it said we’d get a shirt tour then free time. We never got a short tour. So don’t do this one day tour, if you want to go to the seaside go and stay there on another trip.

    Hi Thanks for your time to write For your complain if you just see the full program of the trip you will understand all the stops that we have Thanks for your time

    No goats in trees

    wesley_N, Apr 2023
    No Goats in trees. However we saw the platforms which had been made to place the goats in the trees. The goats don’t want to stand in tree’s for hours , but are made to as a tourist attraction. The trip is great value and the destination is worth the trip.

    Diana_E, Apr 2023
    Pick up and driven from marrakech to essaouira in complete silence, no facts or tidbits of information given. Stopped on the way to see how argan oil was made. Essaouira has its charms but not worth the 6hr drive to and fro. The beach was very quiet and almost deserted. May be this could be attributed to Ramadan? Ate seafood at one of the restaurants on the beach. Worst meal I had in years. Tasteless, small and overpriced. Couldn't finish it because it just wasn't good. Ended up feeding my fish to the many stray cats in the area. If you're nearer than that maybe check it out? Otherwise you're better off doing more interesting stuff in marrakech in that time.

    A trip to Essaouira with visit a Arganoil Cooperative

    Borjana_H, Mar 2023
    We had enough time to visit a Arganoil cooperative and to walk in the city. But we mitted informations from a guide about the sightseengs and the history of the town.

    Good trip

    Nohan_S, Mar 2023
    Enjoyable trip to essaouira, everything went as planned, does exactly what it says on the tin. We were picked up at the hotel but dropped off in a rush in town

    Pretty good

    Charlie, Feb 2020
    Not really a tour. Mostly a long long ride with some stops along the way. Nice town though with great seafood.

    Response from Host, Mar 2020

    Bocciata

    Matteo_Q, Dec 2024
    Abbiamo atteso un ora nella hall del nostro hotel per poi scoprire che avendo prenotato la sera prima alle 21 non si erano accorti della nostra prenotazione. Alle 09:30 hanno mandato a loro spese un autista che ci ha fatto fare il tour privatamente. Organizzazione pessima, sconsigliatissima

    Journée découverte à Essaouira

    JeanJacques_B, Sep 2024
    Rien de spécial pour ce trajet. On vous emmène d'un point A à un point B avec un arrêt pipi. Pour le prix, le transporteur fait le job. Vous arriverez vers 12 heures et repartirez à 17 heures. Par contre, Essaouira est magnifique, ville historique et culturelle. 5 heures dans la ville est suffisant.

    Estafa . Asco de excursión

    Melina_B, Apr 2024
    Un asco de excursión. Primero lo de las cabras es el árbol es una tímada, sino se hace deberían de avisar y no vender la excursión como si se hiciera . El conductor que nos tocó un borde total, no hablaba ningún idioma y eso que contratamos en español . creo yo ni su propio idioma sabia hablar , no nos hablo , no hizo paradas para que fuéramos al baño y el viaje dura más de 3 horas . Pedimos bajar y nos estaba apurando . Nos quiso dejar en la medina y no nos quiso llevar de regreso a nuestro hotel . Me da bronca que la gente no tome en cuenta que uno tiene que trabajar y ahorrar para un viaje que quizás lo haga solo una vez en la vida y que nos traten así, porque te arruinan la salida . Se olvidan que viven gracias al turismo . Essauira una ciudad muy bonita y curiosa que necesita más de 3 horas para conocerla y pasear (y comer de paso ) . Sinceramente no recomiendo e

    Nicht das bekommen, was wir erwartet hatten

    Silvia_M, Apr 2023
    Wir wurden pünktlich abgeholt. Dann in eine Árgan Öl Herstellung geführt mit stark überteuerten Produkten und schlechter schneller Führung mit dem einzigen Ziel des raschen Verkaufs. Danach wurden wir für 5 Stunden in der Stadt abgesetzt und dann ging’s wieder zurück. Die Ziegen auf den Bäumen gab es nicht zu sehen, deshalb hatten wir eigentlich diese Fahrt gebucht. Schade….

    Retard de 30 min pr nous...

    Didier_A, Mar 2023
    Retard de 30 min pr nous prendre au point de rdv. Pas de passage aux chèvres grimpantes. Lol Le guide peu bavard et pas très sympathique. Essaouira : ville plus calme que Marrakech. L entrée du port en travaux qui enleve le charme dès l arrivée. Et surprise pour le retour : le guide oublie 2 personnes à Essaouira... on refait demi tour... donc 1h de route en plus... Voilà voilà.

    Josefa_M, Feb 2023
    El sitio precioso la excursión merece la pena. Pero para una excursión de 3 horas en mini bus. Ya podrían tener los en mejores condiciones sillón roto respaldo Super incómodo. Y te dicen así sin más está roto. Pésimo vehículo del transporte.

    Bonita

    cristina27289, Feb 2023
    Essouira es preciosa pero son 3 horas de viaje ida y 3 vuelta y sólo disfrutaa la ciudad pocas horas. Yo si volviera, pasaría una noche allí.

    Essaouira es bonito

    Raquel_d, Dec 2022
    Es como un servicio de taxi, excursión en si no es. Se hace pesado desde que te recogen hasta que realmente sales y son bastantes kilómetros.

    Response from Host, Dec 2022

    Espero que estés bien, gracias por tomarte el tiempo de escribir una reseña sobre el viaje. Su comentario nos ayudará mucho a mejorar nuestro negocio. También para el viaje 187 km desde Marrakech. Se tarda 3 horas y 30 minutos con parada y visita para llegar a Essaouira. Pero cuando llegas allí Suficiente tiempo para visitar Essaouira nos gusta. Gracias

    EXCURSION ACEPTABLE

    manuelfrancogarcia, Oct 2022
    Viaje aceptable con paradas intermitentes para estirar las piernas y ver un establecimiento de aceite de argan antes de llegar a destino.

    No contratéis con Viator

    Mnica_M, Jul 2022
    Pongo una estrella porque no puedo poner 0. Muy mala experiencia. Contraté estas condiciones que no se cumplieron: 1) Recogida en hotel. Fue en otro punto avisando a menos de 24 horas y en inglés (había hecho la reserva en español). 2) El chófer debía hablar en español y solo lo hizo una vez al preguntarle 3) Al dirigirme al chófer en español para que enchufara el aire no me contesta, después al hablarle en inglés me dice que hace mucho calor y no lo enchufa. La reserva incluía vehículo con aire acondicionado que al parecer no funcionaba. 4) Conducción temeraria Cuando la empresa me pregunta por whatsapp qué tal ha ido la experiencia y le cuento todo, no se disculpan ni muestran intención de mejorar aunque insisten en que ponga buena opiniones en redes.

    Nora_C, May 2022
    Lo que vimos en Essauira muy bien. Pero el viaje fue bastante malo con la música muy fuerte que no a todas las personas nos gusta el bullicio, sino disfrutar del paisaje

    Response from Host, May 2022

    Hola gracias por tu reseña. para el viaje no podemos controlar a todos los clientes que quieren música pero puedes pedirle al conductor que quite la música por ti gracias por tu tiempo y siempre estamos para ti

    Federico_B, Mar 2020
    Esperienza decisamente positiva. Gita molto bene organizzata, 4 tappe tutte molto apprezzate. Omar B. È stata una guida molto disponibile e attenta anche ai nostri bambini. Youssef (autista) bravo alla guida. Assolutamente consigliata! Noi eravamo in tutto 15 sul pulmino, soldi ben spesi!

    Essaouira la belle

    Asmaou_A, Feb 2020
    Ce fût un très bel aller retour. Cependant c'est intéressant de visiter la coopérative mais il est préférable de faire cette visite au retour pour moi et pas à l'aller. Mille mercis
