Not worth the trip time to visit

While Essaouira was interesting and picturesque, it was not worth 4 & 1/2 hours getting there - with the obligatory stop at a shop selling Argan oil- and another 3 + hours to return. In addition, there were several other issues: - we were not contacted the night before about who was our tour guide and where to meet - we had to ask multiple times to turn on the A/C in the van during our loooong ride to and from (really!?!?) - we also had to ask multiple times to turn on the phone power outlet. - the "tour" consisted of dropping us off to look around on our own for 4 & 1/2 hours. Why do I need to ask for A/C and power?? Are they saving a few cents by leaving these off?? I would not recommend this "tour".

Great trip Worth attending

Yassine's guide was warmly delivered on time. Olive trees were very detailed. There was plenty of free time in Seville. It also reminded us where to look for seafood.

Lovely tour with Charaf

This was a very nice tour to the lovely city of Essaouria. The operator got in touch with me early to provide all needed information to get to the van. There, a driver and our lovely tour guide Charaf (Pakita!!) were waiting for us. During the trip, Charaf shared with us some rich information about his Berber culture and the landscapes on the way. At the end, they were waiting for us on time and left us at the pick up point.
