Traveler reviews
Saueras trip
The taxis driver name is Ashraf. It was a great experience, great driving. The driver was very joyful and explained to us the history and culture of the place, and answered every question. He made 2 big stops, and even short ones whenever us necessary. Also the music was great. Overall it was a great experience and I would 100 percent recommend this driver to anyone
Beautiful coastal town
The drive to Essaouira is quite long but the old fortified town is worth the trip. This Portuguese influenced town has interesting buildings and fortifications. It’s not as busy as Marrakech so it’s possible to find a quiet square for a glass of mint tea. There are lots of narrow streets with artisans selling souvenirs to explore. A visit to the port for lunch is a must. There are stalls selling fresh fish that can be cooked on the coals for a tasty meal. We enjoyed this tour and recommend it for an escape from the Marrakech souks.
easy way to do a round trip to Essaouira from Marrakesh
Direct comfortable trip to Essaouira. The driver stops in places to straight legs, drink and do some shopping
Great experience
Anas and Mohamed Very good experience, welcome and comments on the visit
Trip was okay
The trip went well, Guide Anas is very precise and nice, and Mohammed is a good driver. about 4 hours to go (with 2 stops) and 3 for the return. 4 hours to visit Essaouira, which deserves much more; I recommend spending at least 1 night there.
