Notre journée a été tout simplement incroyable ! Notre guide, AYOUB ^^ s'est montré extrêmement clair et compétent dans ses explications. Notre seul regret est de ne pas avoir pu rester plus longtemps à Essaouira. Si vous en avez la possibilité, nous vous recommandons vivement de prévoir 2 à 3 nuits dans cette charmante petite ville :)

Our day at Essaouira was fantastic! Although the drive was long, the stops along the way made it more enjoyable. The bus was comfortable, and the air conditioning was much needed in the Moroccan heat. Essaouira was lovely, and our driver guide Ayoub was very knowledgeable. I also liked that we had some free time to explore on our own. Overall, it was a wonderful experience
