Interesting town. Good private trip - This was a nice day trip. Maybe I liked the harbor a bit more than the Médina, for its photo opportunities. As for the private trip:it was just what we were looking for, ie private transport from Marrakech to Essaouira. Hamza was a friendly guy and a safe driver. The optional stops at the argan collective and tree goats (staged but still funny) were non intrusive. I would have no hesitation to book with this company again.
