El guía Hassan de Essaouira es un gran guía. Sus explicaciones van desde el oficio de la pesca al sincretismo religioso. Escucharlo hablar y explicar la historia y el presente de Essaouira es un placer. No solo es un erudito, es un gran comunicador. Translate this opinion into English.

No dudéis en escaparos de la bulliciosa Marrakech para adentraros en este precioso pueblo costero. Aunque el trayecto es largo merece la pena por lo bonito que es. Además, nuestro conductor Mohamed hizo el viaje muy ameno y siempre estuvo pendiente de nosotros para ayudarnos y hacernos reír. Igualmente nuestro guía hizo un excelente trabajo. Contaba con conocimientos históricos y sus explicaciones eran inmejorables Translate this opinion into English.

Don't hesitate to escape the bustling Marrakech to enter this beautiful coastal town. Although the journey is long, it is worth it because of how beautiful it is. Furthermore, our driver Mohamed made the trip very enjoyable and was always looking out for us to help us and make us laugh. Likewise, our guide did an excellent job. He had historical knowledge and his explanations were unbeatable. Opinion translated. Show original.

La excursión se hizo muy amena; es cierto que el viaje en furgoneta se hace largo, pero nuestro conductor lo hizo divertido. Por mi la parada a la cooperativa de argán no es necesaria, porque siempre se mete algo de venta. En Essaouira, el guía, Hassan, es un pozo de conocimiento y nos explicó cosas muy interesantes de la cultura musulmana, de la historia de Esssaouira ( pasada y actual) y de muchísimos rincones. Y ya el encanto y la tranquilidad de la ciudad acabó de poner la guinda. Translate this opinion into English.

The excursion was very enjoyable; It is true that the van trip is long, but our driver made it fun. For me, the stop at the argan cooperative is not necessary, because there is always something for sale. In Essaouira, the guide, Hassan, is a wealth of knowledge and explained to us very interesting things about Muslim culture, the history of Esssaouira (past and current) and many corners. And now the charm and tranquility of the city just added the cherry on top. Opinion translated. Show original.

Essaouira é uma medina linda e o passeio foi super organizado com informações relevantes sobre toda a cidade e o Alcorão. Em um dado momento, o guia nos deixa caminha tranquilamente sozinho e foi nesse momento que caminhei pelas ruelas e acabei me perdendo em um momento kkkkk mas foi incrível q experiência Translate this opinion into English.

Essaouira is a beautiful medina and the tour was super organized with relevant information about the whole city and the Quran. At one point, the guide let us walk calmly alone and it was at that moment that I walked through the alleys and ended up getting lost at one point lol but it was an incredible experience Opinion translated.

Nuestra experiencia fue excelente: salida puntual y bien organizada, viaje cómodo, conducción segura, musiquita local agradable y paradas para café y conocer una cooperativa de aceite de Argán. Una vez en Essaouira, nos encantó la ciudad y el tour de Hassan fue probablemente el más completo e interesante al que he ido nunca. Ese hombre es un erudito y nos habló de historia, cultura, tradiciones, religiones, idiomas, pesca, arquitectura, cine,… con precisión, emoción y didáctica. ¡Gracias! ️ Translate this opinion into English.

Our experience was excellent: punctual and well-organized departure, comfortable trip, safe driving, pleasant local music and stops for coffee and to see an Argan oil cooperative. Once in Essaouira, we loved the city and Hassan's tour was probably the most comprehensive and interesting I have ever been on. That man is a scholar and he spoke to us about history, culture, traditions, religions, languages, fishing, architecture, cinema,... with precision, emotion and didacticism. Thank you! ️ Opinion translated. Show original.

Una excelente experiencia. Essaouira es una ciudad más tranquila y agradable que Marrakech, sus murallas, sus casas blancas con azul, el mar, comimos pescado fresco y disfrutamos el día. Nos encantó! ojalá hubiéramos podido pasar más tiempo, el transporte fue muy cómodo y el conductor muy amable y atento, el guía que tuvimos en Essaouira nos brindó información súper insteresante, con gran conocimiento de la ciudad, su historia y su cultura. Translate this opinion into English.

An excellent experience. Essaouira is a quieter and more pleasant city than Marrakech, its walls, its white and blue houses, the sea, we ate fresh fish and enjoyed the day. We loved it! I wish we could have spent more time, the transportation was very comfortable and the driver was very friendly and attentive, the guide we had in Essaouira gave us super interesting information, with great knowledge of the city, its history and its culture.

Nos gustó mucho la excursión. El conductor era muy agradable y por el precio que tiene vale la pena cogerla en vez de ir por libre a Essaouira. Lo mejor fue el guía (Hassan), una persona con muchísimos conocimientos de historia, religión y de la ciudad, con quien pudimos aprender muchísimo. Muy recomendable! Translate this opinion into English.

We really liked the excursion. The driver was very nice and for the price it is worth taking it instead of going to Essaouira on your own. The best thing was the guide (Hassan), a person with a lot of knowledge of history, religion and the city, with whom we were able to learn a lot. Highly recommended! Opinion translated.

Sobre todo destacaría la maravillosa explicación que recibimos por parte del guía. Gracias a él hemos podido ver con otros ojos la ciudad. Súper profesional y un gran sabio! Quizás lo único que modificaría sería la parada a la cooperativa de aceite de argán, visita que no esperábamos y que nos restó tiempo al verdadero motivo de la excursión que era Essaouria. Translate this opinion into English.

Above all, I would highlight the wonderful explanation we received from the guide. Thanks to him we have been able to see the city with different eyes. Super professional and a great wise man! Perhaps the only thing I would change would be the stop at the argan oil cooperative, a visit that we did not expect and that took time away from the real reason for the excursion, which was Essaouria.

Indimenticabile giornata a Essaouira, viaggio ben organizzato, ma la cosa più speciale è stato l’incontro con Hassan, la nostra guida, che con passione e gentilezza ci ha fatto innamorare della città! Avremmo avuto piacere che la visita durasse di più, ma l’esperienza è Consigliatissima! Grazie ! Translate this opinion into English.

Unforgettable day in Essaouira, well-organised trip, but the most special thing was the meeting with Hassan, our guide, who with passion and kindness made us fall in love with the city!

Tubimos un pequeño problema con la puerta del autobus y Hassan lo ha solucionado lo antes posible. Buen conductor y amable. El guia de Essaouira, tambien llamado Hassan, nos ha parecido que sé ha centrado demasiado en el tema religioso/historico (musulman y judio). Hemos hechado en falta la explicación de la zona del puerto y la actividad pesquera de la ciudad. Y también conocer otras partes de la ciudad.

We had a small problem with the bus door and Hassan solved it as soon as possible. Good and friendly driver. The Essaouira guide, also called Hassan, seemed to us to have focused too much on the religious/historical theme (Muslim and Jewish). We have missed the explanation of the port area and the fishing activity of the city. And also get to know other parts of the city.

Essaouira posto fantastico, soprattutto dopo il baccano di Marrakesh. Organizzazione puntuale e attenta. Ottima guida. Il pulmino al ritorno si è guastato ma dopo circa 20 min hanno fatto arrivare un trasporto alternativo. Visita alla "farm" di olio di Argan molto commerciale con prezzi stellari, inutile provare a contrattare. Qui dovrete costare meno invece tengono i prezzi da aeroporto, 20 euro, 30 euro come niente! Translate this opinion into English.

Essaouira fantastic place, especially after the hubbub of Marrakesh. Punctual and careful organization. Excellent guide. The minibus broke down on the way back but after about 20 minutes they arranged for alternative transport to arrive. Visit to the very commercial Argan oil "farm" with stellar prices, no point in trying to haggle. Here you will have to cost less instead they keep airport prices, 20 euros, 30 euros like nothing!

La excursión me ha parecido increíble, el conductor Hamir encantador. Nos ha llevado fenomenal y nos ha ido contando muchas cosas interesantes de Marruecos y su cultura. El guía que nos ha explicado en Essaouira es también un fenómeno , (lamento no recordar su nombre)nos ha explicado perfectamente toda la increíble historia del lugar y un montón de curiosidades que nos han sorprendido gratamente. El tipo habla varios idiomas y lo cuente de escándalo. Recomendare al 10% esta excursión Translate this opinion into English.

I found the excursion incredible, the driver Hamir was charming. He has been great with us and has told us many interesting things about Morocco and its culture. The guide who explained Essaouira to us is also a phenomenon, (I'm sorry I don't remember his name) he explained perfectly the entire incredible history of the place and a lot of curiosities that pleasantly surprised us. The guy speaks several languages and it's a scandal. I will recommend this excursion 10% Opinion translated. Show original.

A pesar de no haber podido realizar el paseo en barco por un temporal el día anterior, nuestro guía se encargó de darnos la max atención para que no nos perdiéramos de nada en este increíble destino. Incluso nos han devuelto una parte del importe correspondiente a este paseo. Sus sugerencias de comida y su buena energía nos cautivó desde el min 1. Os recomendamos mucho hacer este paseo, todo está muy bien organizado. Translate this opinion into English.

Yousef, el conductor que nos llevó hasta el pueblo, fue muy amable. Yo viajaba con personas mayores que no podían desplazarse hasta el punto de encuentro y nos recogió cerca de nuestro Riad. Siempre fue muy atento y servicial. La excursión como tal, está bien. El pueblo es muy bonito y agradable de recorrer. Aunque se agradecería algún tipo de guia que diese alguna explicación sobre su historia, costumbres, etc. Se come pescado fresco muy bueno en el puerto. Translate this opinion into English.

Yousef, the driver who took us to the town, was very friendly. I was traveling with elderly people who could not travel to the meeting point and he picked us up near our Riad. He was always very attentive and helpful. The excursion as such is fine. The town is very pretty and pleasant to explore. Although some type of guide that would give some explanation about its history, customs, etc. would be appreciated. Very good fresh fish is eaten in the port. Opinion translated. Show original.

Un viaje muy agradable con Alí que durante el camino nos iba explicando el paisaje. Llegamos a Essaouira a las 11:30 aproximadamente y volvimos a las 16:00. Lo único que no me agradó demasiado fue la parada en la cooperativa de argán, ya que fue tiempo que habría preferido pasar en Essaouira, pero recomiendo mucho este viaje, la ciudad es preciosa.

A very pleasant trip with Ali who explained the landscape to us along the way. We arrived in Essaouira at approximately 11:30 and returned at 16:00. The only thing I didn't like too much was the stop at the argan cooperative, since it was time I would have preferred to spend in Essaouira, but I highly recommend this trip, the city is beautiful.

En general muy bien, pero la parada extra en la cooperativa de argán nos quitó tiempo par a estar en agadir. El guía, Hassán una maravilla, pero apenas tuvimos tiempo para comer y pasear, pero claro....todo no puede ser y nosotros en particular disfrutamos con las explicaciones que nos dió. En general muy bien pero un poco corto de tiempo. Hay que decir que el con el conductor era una maravilla al volante y chico que nos acompaño en el viaje un encanto. Translate this opinion into English.

Overall very good, but the extra stop at the argan cooperative took away our time in Agadir. The guide, Hassan, was wonderful, but we barely had time to eat and walk around, but of course... everything can't be and we in particular enjoyed the explanations he gave us. Overall very good but a little short on time. It must be said that the driver was wonderful behind the wheel and the guy who accompanied us on the trip was a delight. Opinion translated.

Essaouira es muy bonita, merece la pena la visita. Mejor si te puedes quedar a dormir. El bus y conductor Hamid muy bien y tuvimos guía en la ciudad, cosa que ponía que no tendríamos y fue genial conocer Essaouira de la mano de un guía, además muy profesional. Estuvimos desde las 11 hasta las 16 en Essaouira y no paramos por suerte en la cooperativa de Argán, tampoco lo propusieron, cosa que me parece genial ya que quitaría tiempo de ver la ciudad. Translate this opinion into English.

Essaouira is very beautiful, it is worth the visit. Better if you can stay the night. The bus and driver Hamid were very good and we had a guide in the city, something I said we wouldn't have and it was great to get to know Essaouira with a guide who was also very professional. We were from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. in Essaouira and luckily we didn't stop at the Argan cooperative, nor did they propose it, which I think is great since it would take away time from seeing the city.
