★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 990 reviews · from $17

Travel from Marrakech to Essaouira in a small-group, air-conditioned minivan with hotel pickup and return transport. Stop for argan trees, an optional women’s cooperative, and a panoramic view before several free hours in the medina, port, and beach area. Drivers such as Ayman, Yassine, Karim, and Jamal are often praised for safe, friendly service, but this is mainly a transfer, not a guided history tour.

“This service was more of a transport service than anything. The tour company had good communication, so that was nice. I requested an English speaking service but the driver didn’t speak English. Also, it started an hour late, which was frustrating - basically you get picked up at your hotel and then they bring everyone to a rally point and shuffle the people around into different vans for the different excursions. For the price, it is what it is but if you are expecting a tour with a person to tell you about things this isn’t your tour.”
