He was able to involve and entertain even my mother, who didn’t speak English or French. Thanks to his perfect Italian, he managed to integrate everyone, unite the group, describe the whole experience in the best way, and give us the best advice on what to see, where to eat, and all the interesting and engaging things about the place — without forgetting the emotional side of the culture, the people, and the destination!

    Alina – United Kingdom

    Thank you, Marrakesh Best Trips, for another beautiful experience in Essaouira. We spent 5 hours in this charming little town, and the 3 hour drive from Marrakesh was absolutely worth it. The beach is perfect for a couple of hours of relaxation, and the port has a unique character of its own. In the old town, you’ll find plenty of great restaurants — and the pancakes are delicious! We can’t recommend this team enough — very informative, polite, and friendly. Wishing you all the very best!

  72. Incredible Trip & Great Recommendations

    Caitlin – United Kingdom

    This trip was incredible. Latif was very kind and helpful and gave excellent recommendations for Essaouira. The bus is delightful (charging points a huge bonus!). Essaouira itself is beautiful, and a refreshing change from Marrakech. Though, do beware the weather changes quite rapidly and can rain or be windy even when not forecast. The Argan Oil cooperative was much better than others we had visited on various trips. If you are a seafood lover, there is a marina area where you buy fresh fish and they cook it for you (as well as €1 oysters). Overall, we followed the itinerary to a tee and had a wonderful time. Thanks Latif!

  73. Helpful Multilingual Guide

    Our driver/guide, Yassine was both informative and entertaining, safely driving us to and from Essaouira. Highly recommended.

  76. Beautiful Ocean Town & Helpful Guide

    Ina – United Kingdom

    Our guide Yasinne was very nice. He searched in the morning for us around 20 minutes, because we had notification that pick up point is at Dar El Bacha, but in reality the pick up point was at Da Maha restaurant. For foreigners and in very busy morning life, that’s a big difference. But, thanks to Yasinne, happy final. Essaouira is so different, beautiful town by ocean. We enjoyed fresh fish on grill in harbor, checked old city and took with us a lot of happy memories. Thank you. Ina

  77. Well Structured Full-Day Trip
