Wonderful day in Essaouira - Ismail our driver and guide regaled us with the history and customs of Morocco on our drive from Marrakech to Essaouira (a coastal town on the Atlantic). We then met our delightful guide Youness who introduced us to this city and it’s long history. We had a delicious lunch overlooking the ocean and did a bit of shopping along the old marketplace. Youness was informative and enthusiastic. We would wholeheartedly recommend this tour company and their tour guides who spoke very understandable English

Amazing!!! - I LOVED this day trip. Mohammed was such a good guide. He was professional and there to help every step of the way. Answering all my questions and making recommendations for my stay. I actually enjoyed him so much that I used him again during my stay. Book this trip and make sure to ask for Mohammed!

Great experience - Mohammad drove us a few times during our time in Morrocco, including a day trip to Essaouira. He was communicative and on time always, and acted as a great guide along the way. We had a great guide waiting for us upon our arrival to Essaouira and were able to stop on the way to see the Argan co-ops and goats- every detail was perfectly planned. Added bonus that there was always good conversation and music :) Would definitely recommend and use Mohammed/his team's services again!

Great trip to the coast - Lovely trip in a comfortable vehicle beautifully driven by our guide, Abdul. He was a mine of information! Our guide in Essaouira was friendly local Younes. Stop for real fresh mint tea and a snack was a pleasant surprise.

Highly Recomended Visit to Essaouira - Essaouira City by the coast is an excellent destination and a one day excursion from Marrakech. A comfortable drive with Abdel driver/guide who was very informative and courteous all along the route. Friendly Aziz took us around the old city highlighting for us the once unique and rich culture of the Jewish Population - now just footprints in the sand. Highly recomended. Enjoy

Enjoyable and leisurely day trip with great tour guide - Having already gone on two fantastic day trips with Abdul from Morocco Inspiring Tours during our week-long stay in Marrakesh, we decided to add a trip to Essaouira with him, as he is such a knowledgeable and pleasant tour guide. Different to our other day trips from Marrakesh, the trip to Essaouira was more leisurely, and focussed on exploring the Medina – the old city. Local guide Aziz, who showed us the old city, is passionate and knowledgeable about his city and has put a lot of effort into covering parts of the city that are off the beaten track, without pushing us towards the shops. During the trip to and from Essaouira we enjoyed a conversation with Abdul, our guide and the manager of Morocco Inspiring Tours, who took up every opportunity to give us more insights into the Moroccan way of life and what we have seen along the way.

Excellent day trip to Essaouira - This was my second tour with Mohammed and it was as good as the first. He's a tremendous guide, friendly and attentive to any need. He picked me up promptly from my hotel and had arranged a wonderful local guide in Essaouira when we arrived there. The day there was beautiful and I was able to take in much of the old city. Afterwards we enjoyed a nice lunch by the beach before heading back to Marrakech. This is a great company to work with and Mohammed is the best.

Waist of time - First off our driver who took us to Essaouira was a wonderful young man. He was extremely polite and knowledgeable about talking about the countryside that we were driving through. The van was very clean and he followed all the speed limits, something many of our other drivers failed to do. We would offer only the highest praises for our driver. The guide in Essaouira, on the other hand, was a complete dud. He was uninformative, seemed bored most of the time. At one point my wife stopped to look at a bowl for sale but he refused to stop saying he had another vender who had better items, most likely a cousin. We have taken many, many guided tours in our travels over the years and fortunately had never had the displeasure to have a guide as poor as the one on this tour.
