Essaouira Day Trip from Marrakech

Service Par excellence! one cannot ask for a better tour company. Lachen, Hakim, and Mohammed were fantastic. Lachen, was in constant contact to confirm services we booked (airport transfers, private souk guide, a day trip to Essaouira). He also checked after each acitivy to find out if services was ok and if we enjoyed our tours. Hakim is very professional and great driver. Can't say enough good things about him. Mohammed was a pro in his guide services and very knowledgeable. BTW, he suggested some stores but there was no pressure that we buy. We are seasoned travelers and have experienced countless of tour services, whether private or in a group. This company is way up there in its service and professionalism.

My partner and I had such a great time after our three-day desert tour with Mohamed, we requested him for a day trip to Essaouira from Marrakech. It's a long drive, but again, worth the time to go for the day, especially with such good company. We made a brief stop at the (staged, but still fun) goats in trees (I appreciated that Mo seemed amused by it, too, although he'd clearly seen it many times), but otherwise didn't stop by the argan oil producers along the way, since we were eager to get to the sea. Once we got to Essaouira, we parted ways and made a plan to meet back up later in the afternoon -- so we were on our own for the full day. Essaouira is the polar opposite of Fez and Marrakech -- calm, peaceful, tranquil. The medina is small and totally navigable without hassle or too much headache. The streets are quaint and many have the stunning blue walls you see in Chefchaouen. We wandered around, checked out the ramparts, had some delicious sfenj (Moroccan street donuts, omg, SO GOOD, best dirham you'll ever spend), a delicious lunch at a vegan cafe in a sleepy square, grabbed a drink after on a rooftop overlooking the sea before taking a long stroll on the beach. It was a lovely day and again, Mohamed was the perfect guide -- great conversation, excellent driving. Highly recommend. We went in December, and it was sunny and 70. You're not going to swim, but def wear sunblock!

We are a group of 3 young girls who did this 3 day trip and absolutely could not have asked for a better tour guide. Mohamed was the greatest! His English was excellent and he was funny and very accommodating if we ever needed to stop for food or coffee! We were picked up from our hostel in fez and left for the desert! We rode the camels into the sunset where we stopped in the middle of the desert and got to hangout, go sand boarding and watch the sunset over the dunes of the Sahara. We rode the camels back to the tents which were sooo luxurious. The food was delicious (chicken lemon tagine of course) and the drum show was absolutely amazing. Unfortunately the weather did not permit a camp fire but that also would have been nice. If you’re going in the march months, prepare for a chilly night! Although the thick layers of the blanket tend to do a good job of keeping you warm. The next day was driving through todra gorge and back to Marrakech. We had a bus to catch so Mohamed made sure to get us there on time! Throughout the trip we really got to know one another and we feel as though we have made a great friend in Morocco! He even led one of our tours when our other tour guide bailed! I would recommend this trip especially with Mohamed
