To do!! - Very pretty little town by the ocean. Ideal for eating seafood. I recommend the fishburger as a small restaurant with homemade burgers and fresh produce.

Good experience, it can be improved - The journey lasts approximately 3 hours and 30 minutes each way, with arrival in Essaouira at 12.30 and departure at 16.30 (4 hours of stay compared to a total of 7 hours of travel). Overall it is a good service, convenient shuttle, but you could eliminate the tourist visit to the Argan cooperative (about 45 min) to save time. Ali is a good driver.

Very nice Essaouria - Everything ok, very pretty city of Essaouria definitely worth a visit. The stop at the Argan cooperative, a classic tourist trap to make you buy Argan oil which you can find everywhere else. The tours are all the same, one is as good as the other.

Day trip to Essaouira - Essaouira is worth a day trip from Marrakech, and this tour is a great way to do it. I only wish the stay in Essaouira was longer (we stayed 4 hours), and the trip shorter by avoiding the classic stop in an Argan oil cooperative. The bus was very comfortable and the driver was nice and professional.

To do but only once…. - Good day but the journey was long (2 stops) including 1 in a cooperative where no one visits, and the mini bus not comfortable at all when you sit at the back…. Essaouira is pretty but there really isn't much to do and it's quick. We spend more time on the bus than in the city.
