Essaouira was definitely...

Yasmin_Z, Nov 2025

Essaouira was definitely worth it, it’s beautiful! Heads up the road is bumpy and the argan co-op is WAY overpriced!! Shout out to the driver! He was so kind and understanding, an absolute gem!

Great day trip to Essaouira

Said and Mohammed were great. They got us to Essaouira safely. Said gave some great facts about the argan trees we saw on the way and the spots at the port, where Game of Thrones was filmed. He was very thorough in explaining what the itinerary was for our drive there (we made 2 stops, 1 in Chichaoua and then at an Argan Oil cooperative). He also gave us some great recommendations for places to eat in the Medina or near the port and the top sights worth seeing. We had 4 hours to explore, shop, eat, whatever we wanted. The pick up time and location was clear and we had no delays getting everyone back in the van to leave. Would definitely recommend this experience as you can do what interests you and move at your own pace.

Great way to experience...

Great way to experience essouira. The pick up was on time, the Driver and the tour guide Yunis was helpful. One thing i was surprise about was prior to the pick up, I Message the operator Via Viator Who Messages me for pick up location. I asked about the Contact details of the Driver or the vehicle plate number but the operator replied that i should not worry because the Driver will not swam me about the pick up. Although my question was just too basic and necessary because there are many vehicles from other tourist company. Other than that we had great time with this trip. Thanks to Yunis and the Driver i didnt able to get his name. I would recommend this.

Driver was very professional, friendly and helpful. A definite must to visit Essaouira. The vehicle was comfortable and spacious. Enjoyed the Argan oil visit on the way. The group was diversified and enjoyed chatting to the different people from all over the world. Thank you.

Good for the price

Albert_O, Nov 2024

Tour did what it said and got us to Essouira. However, it was very hot in the van and not a lot of direction. Good for the price but not as good as a private tour.

Great trip

Fantastic value - the tour involves more than just transportation as you get to see an Argentine oil collective, and stop off at some good road side cafes.
