1. The pick-up was...

Ewa_S, Apr 2026

1. The pick-up was supposed to be "in front of their hotel at the designated time", but it was not. I got a WhatsApp message from a number called "Hdida Tours", and I was told to appear at the Café de France 10 minutes before the advertised pick up time (8:20 instead of 8:30). Fine. I appeared there on time, but I wasn't given any name, vehicle details, agency name, or anything else. Plenty of various vans appeared at the same place and time, with many tourists waiting. None of the vehicles was described (they had no destination or agency name written), none of the drivers was looking for their passengers, tourists had to ask drivers if they wanted to find theirs. Not sure how I was supposed to know which car transport is mine. I asked several drivers, and nobody heard of Hdida Tours. The WhatsApp number that messaged me earlier wasn't replying, so I called. Fortunately, the woman answered and sent a driver who took me to another place where I got into another vehicle with the driver Hamid, who was actually one of the first drivers I saw at the Cafe de France and whom I asked whether he was from Hdida Tours. So even the driver did not know who he was looking for, nor for whom he was working. 2. The program itinerary offers a "Guided Walking Tour of the Historic Medina". There is nothing like this provided. You just get a lift to Essaouira and back with a stop at an argan oil coop. That's it. No guide whatsoever. 3. The argan oil coop is interesting in a way that you get to see how they produce the oil. But you can buy the same products by the same coop in Essaouira for cheaper than at the coop. 4. In summary: chaotic, badly organised and nothing interesting. You can go to Essaouira on your own for the same price or less than that.
