The trip was well organized. Our driver was friendly and communicated with us clearly. The local guide was knowledgeable. I only wish we could have more free time exploring Essaouira. Also, be prepared for the long drive between Marrakech and Essaouira.

A very nice little tour. Essaouira is a beautiful town and the guide Zaid spoke a very clear English and had a ton of info to offer us. The drive was confortable if a little uneventful with not many stops in between and the minibus was ok, except for the USB charging ports not working anywhere (again, it's the same on every single bus. Are they broken on purpose?). The only downside is that there wasn't a lot of free time in Essaouira after the guided tour so it was a choice between going for lunch or exploring the town. Still, all in all I'd recommend the tour.

The driver Moustafa was super nice and the travel with him was a pleasure. The problems of this tour are mainly two: the short time that one has at disposal in Essaouira and the organisation of the guided tour in the city. The activity is supposed to be in english but upon arrival the guide had at the same time an English speaking and a French speaking group, therefore he had to repeat everything in the two languages (often he would not translate in English everything he was saying in French). He is extremely knowledgeable and he had very detailed answers for all our questions, but during the tour the explanations were more superficial (probably due to the abovementioned organisation problem). I think that more detailed explanations and a better organisation of the tour could make this experience fantastic.
