Oil making and seaside town - Such a great tour, to take a drive out of the busy streets of Marrakesh. On a relaxing journey. Stop on the way to learn about Argan oil before just four hours to explore Essouira on our own terms. Which is beautiful by the way. Although Mohamed was very attentive to our needs and flexible to our requests (yes I did ask to move the pick up times 🫣), he was also hands off. Which I have to say after the marrakesh was great fully received.

Very nice getaway - Very enjoyable trip organized by Mohamed, who showed extraordinary kindness and dynamism. If you want to take a family getaway to Essaouira I recommend that you call on him. Don't hesitate to stay there for 48 hours to make the most of the city and save 6 hours of travel.

The best experience anyone could ever have!ave! - I've had the best trip ever! Mohamed was such a great driver. Along the way he talked about Morocco's history, the economy, education in Morocco... everything. He also answered all questions. He didn't hesitate a second to advice us and give us tips. He helped us get products from the cooperative and even recommended products with Argan oil. He put great music and kept us great company. I will travel with him next time I come back. I highly recommend him 👌

Very worth while cost effective experience - We enjoyed the trip very much, tne minibus was prompt and we were kept up to date regarding collection point and time. Our driver was very professional, we felt safe at all times. Essaouira is a beautiful fishing town with a lovely walled souk and many places to eat and shop (haggle) Our guide Abdul was ok. I’d most certainly recommend this tour and for the price it’s a no brainer. Thank you.

INCREDIBLE! - This was a truly breathtaking experience which I would recommend to all. You will need to be physically fit as there is lots of walking but don't let this put you off as there is plenty of breaks. Seeing is believing, until you don't experience this place yourself you will not understand how mesmerising the experience is. So if you're in Marrakech this should definitely be on your to-do list. A massive shout out to Mohammed our Driver and Hassan our Guide, both spoke great English, showed us the true Berber lifestyle and made sure we were happy throughout. Thank you to them both for making it such a wonderful experience.

Unbeatible value for money - We (6Pax) booked the one day tour to Atlas and Agafay one day in advance. Timely Pick Up, good vehicle, friendlu guide. You do really get a lot for the price (35 Euros). Camel Ride, Breakfast, Atlas, Lunch, Berber House, Agafay desert. A Great Tour. Unbeatible valué for money.

Quite honestly the best trip I have ever had in my life! - Mohammed and his Hassan showed us such an incredible time that it was honestly such a hard decision to go home from Marrakech. Our tour of the Atlas mountains took us through some of the best view points of Imlil and the Berber village, and to top it all off we were also taken quad biking the day after by Mohammed which took us on a tour around Lake Takerkoust. Mohammed and his colleagues treated us with the utmost respect, were very well informed about landmarks and culturally significant points on our tours and in general made our stay in Marrakech very welcome. Our ride to the airport on the final day was also catered to by Mohammed and he just made sure we were very well recommend. Id go as far as to give 10 start if I could. Raphael
