Beautiful day in Essaouira - This tour is very well organized. The Guide brings very interesting information ., and above all it knows how to erase itself when necessary to give us the Impression of an individual exit from the group. A toilet break where there is an excellent seller of pressed orange juice!, a stop in a women's argan cooperative much more interesting than the tourist shop of Agadir, a stop to take some pictures of the goats in the argan trees ... the outbound journey lasts about 3 hours, on the return about 2h30. If you do not know Essaouira, not spending a day there would be a mistake. The day is long, leaving 8h15 return after 6pm, and yet our only regret is that we missed 1 hour of extra free time to fully enjoy the medina. Without being a Leader, you will take beautiful pictures of the Portuguese fortifications, the fishing port, and the alleys full of typical souk shop. We recommend, go ahead!

Amazing day 🌹 - This was my second time doing this Essaouira trip. On this occasion I was delighted that the bus actually stopped so we could get pictures of the goats on the trees. The guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. On route he gave loads of interesting facts and was funny. We were not guided around Essaouira which we preferred so we're free to explore ourselves. I would even do it again when next in agadir. Personally I highly recommend it. Try exploring down by the boats where the small blue boats are also.
