Additional Information
Plan ahead for a day excursion to Essaouira and arrange to rendezvous with your chauffeur at your accommodations in Marrakech, or a designated central meeting spot, to embark on the approximately three-hour voyage to a serene town bathed in oceanic gusts. En route to Essaouira, pause at a traditional Argan oil cooperative to witness how this amber liquid is crafted using age-old methods.
When you reach Essaouira, venture independently to discover the city’s historic core, encircled by defensive walls offering excellent sea vistas. You have complete autonomy to pursue your interests. You might enjoy a glass of mint tea at the Moulay el Hassan square, hunt for keepsakes in the marketplaces, or indulge in the ocean’s bounty at an alfresco eatery.
Come together with your driver once your afternoon’s wander ends and commence the journey back to Marrakech. Your day winds up with a return to where you started.

A comfortable ride to charming Essaouira - Our day trip from Marrakech to Essaouira was a very interesting and fun experience. Our guide/driver spoke excellent English and told us many interesting facts about Essaouira, as well as about the smaller towns we drove through, and about Morocco in general. In Essaouira we had several hours to tour on our own. The town has a charming and relaxed atmosphere. We really enjoyed our trip.

Fantastic day trip! - What a wonderful day in Essaouira. So glad that I choose Sky and Sea Land for this day trip to this oasis on the ocean. Khalid was terrific and helped educate me on what I should make sure to see and do while in Essaouira and was great to speak with on the 2 1/2 hour drive there and back. The transportation was new, extremely clean and very comfortable. Overall a great day and experience.

Essaouira - Ahmed was a very prompt, professional and knowledgeable guide. His English was very good and he did a great job of thoroughly explaining any questions that we had. He had a nice vehicle and made sure that we were comfortable at all times. At the beginning of our trip he assisted me at a local pharmacy in getting the proper medication for my cold. As far as the tour of Essaouira, it was a very beautiful coastal town with a Medina that was cleaner and more open than others that we visited.
I highly recommend Ahmed as guide.

Lovely day trip to Essaouira! - We spent a wonderful day visiting Essaouira with Cherif as our driver and guide. He punctually picked us up in a clean and roomy SUV and we were off. Along the way, he provided information about the history of the region, argan oil with a very informative stop at a women's cooperative, and information about Essaouira. After exploring the medina and having a delicious seafood lunch by the ocean, Cherif was waiting to take us back to Marrakech. He cheerfully accommodated stops we wanted to make for photos. Thanks Cherif!

Day trip to Essaouira (Ahmed in the wheel) - We are so happy to have made this day trip! It was very worth it as Ahmed is very professional, an excellent driver, and a very discreet and pleasant person, that took the time to explain to us so many things and made us discover Morocco. He made everything so easy for us. We are really thankful and have the best memories!

Definitely Recommend! - Knew we wanted to visit Essaouira and after a recommendation from another awesome driver, my friend and I booked our private trip to Essaouira with Sherif. The trip did not disappoint! Sherif was prompt both picking us up at our hotel in Marrakech, and picking us up at the meeting point in Essaouira for the return trip. On the way, we stopped at the Argan trees to see the goats and at a women's cooperative to see a great demonstration of how Argan products are made. Once in Essaouira, we walked through the village at our own pace and loved every minute of it! The trip was amazing and would definitely recommend it to others. Sherif was fantastic and answered any questions we had, and the van was clean, comfortable, and even had wifi!

Good - The driver was very nice and drove very safwly always followed speed limit. This tour is more a drive as his english was limited. He was very nice person but no informtion was given to learn about city or country..However he was willing to take is wherever we wanted if we told him what we wanted to see..Aragon Cooperative was very nice and interesting.
