Beautiful city

James_K, Feb 2026

Beautiful city. Nothing like the intensity of Marrakech. Great ocean views and our guide Hassan was friendly and knowledgeable about the history of the city

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “Wonderful Day Trip with an Amazing Driver!”

Tyler_P, Oct 2025

We booked the Essaouira Beach: Private Full-Day Luxury Trip from Marrakech and had an absolutely fantastic experience from start to finish. Our driver, Mr. Oussama, was outstanding — professional, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable. He made the long drive comfortable and enjoyable, pointing out landmarks and sharing insights about Moroccan culture along the way. He was patient with our family, made thoughtful stops for photos and rest breaks, and ensured we had plenty of time to explore Essaouira at our own pace. The vehicle was spotless and comfortable, and the overall trip felt very safe and well organized.

Hassan, our tour guide in...

NHUTAM_V, Jul 2025

Hassan, our tour guide in Essaouira was professional and courteous. We learned a lot about the city and appreciate his wealth of knowledge.

Relaxing trip to Essaouira

Karin_T, Jun 2025

Yassin made sure we had a great trip. He gave us plenty of advice for both Marrakech and Essaouira and taught us a lot about Moroccan culture. We were able to customise the trip as we wished and stop whenever we felt like it. The van was very spacious and comfortable. A nice, relaxing day in Essaouira. Note: police are no longer allowing goats to feed in the argan trees, so you might not get to see this quirky sight on your way.

Mohamed was great !

Erika_R, Mar 2025

Mohamed was a great and safe driver. He speaks spanish as if it were his native tongue. Allowed us to make pit stops when we needed to. The car was clean and comfortable and the view on the drive was great. The tour guide Hasan was knowledgeable and has a kind temperament. Recommed 100%

Amazing tour guides

Great experience in a unique city with so much history. City guide knew all best lunch and shopping spots

A MUST WHEN IN MOROCCO

LUZCEL_T, Nov 2024

We enjoyed this tour very much! We started a little late because we had to stop for breakfast. Azdin, our driver, was very accommodating, He gave us great recommendation. He was very careful with his driving and was good company during the trip to and back from Essaouira. We came back to Marrakech a little late and he contacted our Riad for a safe return to the Riad. Younes, our tour guide, was very knowledgeable and was very patient answering all our questions, as well as waiting for us while we do some shopping in between. He was able to navigate the Medina with ease and was able to show us some nice spots.

Awesome Essaouira Day Trip

Ethan_R, May 2023

This was a great trip. Our driver, Mustafa, was very professional and picked up as close as he could to our Riad in the Medina. In Essaouira, ask for Rashid to be your guide. He’s very knowledgeable about the history and goings on of the city and he was a delight to talk to. They also set up an hour long horse riding event for an additional fee, which went very well. I would recommend this tour to anyone interested.

So much fun!

Kiara_B, Dec 2022

This tour was very informative & cool! Our driver Yussein was so nice and shared his story about his country with us. The goats in the trees were so cool and the seafood in Essaouria was delicious! This tour is a must do and our guide in Essaouria was great as well. Thank you all for an amazing experience!

Brilliant day, brilliant driver

danny_h, Jun 2022

We would like to thank Moe for an absolutely fantastic day. A seamless pick up, comfortable drive and very good company. The tree goats were amazing, Essouria had a lovely happy vibe and the market was so much cheaper than Marrakesh with a lot less hassle. Would highly recommend. Thanks again Moe, hope to travel with you again in the future.

Response from Host, Jul 2022

Dear Danny, Thank you very much for your feedback, it really matters. It's been nice having your lovely family in the day trip to Essaouira. See you next time

Best tour guide

Maria_M, May 2022

We had the best tour guide and the best experience in Essouira, Morocco. It was a very comfortable travel and very informative. We learned a lot about the moroccan and berber culture. We’ve been shown the best places to see in Morocco and took is to IL-mare, a very good sea food restaurant. Mo was very friendly and looked after us so well. We even asked him for a half day tour after our Essouira experience. 10 star rating and well recommended.

Response from Host, May 2022

Prachtige uitstap!

Freke_D, Apr 2025

Heel vriendelijke chauffeur, comfortabele auto. Communicatie rond ophalen aan hotel was goed. Essaouira is bezoek waard! Het was een toffe uitstap voor ons gezin.

Ahamed guida Muad artista. Spero di ricordare correttamente i nomi :-)! Servizio puntuale e preciso. La nostra guida ci ha condotto in modo discreto e disponibile alla scoperta di questo gioiello sull’oceano. Il posto è meraviglioso di suo, ma averlo scoperto con gli occhi di chi ci vive ha reso questa esperienza memorabile! Consigliata vivamente
