Excelente excursión. Nos recogieron puntualmemte en el lugar acordado. El viage es de 3h de ida y 3h de vuelta que fueron muy amenas, en cada uno de los trayectos hicimos una parada de 15 min aunque el conductor nos dio la posibilidad de parar más veces. Al llegar a Essaouira nos esperava Hassan, el guia, que nos hizo un fantástico tour por la médina explicando historia, anécdotas y curiosodades. Translate this opinion into English.

Excellent excursion. They picked us up punctually at the agreed place. The trip is 3 hours one way and 3 hours return which was very enjoyable, on each of the trips we made a 15 minute stop although the driver gave us the possibility of stopping more times. Upon arriving in Essaouira, Hassan, the guide, was waiting for us, who gave us a fantastic tour of the medina explaining history, anecdotes and curious facts. Opinion translated. Show original.

Essaouira es preciosa pero no pudimos disfrutarla lo suficiente. Mucho tiempo de trayecto y poco tiempo en la ciudad. Demasiadas paradas en el camino de ida que lo hacen muy largo. El guía local ha sido una maravilla, información interesante, concisa y con todo los puntos de vista. Se agradecería más tiempo en la ciudad, al menos 5 horas

Essaouira is beautiful but we couldn't enjoy it enough. A lot of travel time and little time in the city. Too many stops on the way there that make it very long. The local guide has been wonderful, interesting, concise information and with all the points of view. More time in the city would be appreciated, at least 5 hours

La actividad muy bien, recomendado totalmente! El conductor Said nos ha ido regalando explicaciones y detalles de los paisajes durante todo el viaje! Todo perfecto! El guia en cuanto llegamos estaba incluido en la excursión, ha durado unas 2 horas y hemos tenido dos horas mas para comer y dar vueltas! Translate this opinion into English.

The activity was very good, totally recommended! The driver Said has been giving us explanations and details of the landscapes throughout the trip! All perfect!

La excursión a Essaouira con el conductor Mohammed es muy buena, lo recomiendo, hace el camino ameno y da explicaciones, pone música.... Perfecto. Essaouira nos sorprendió, al igual que el guia Hassan, muy conocedor del lugar, nos permitió entrar en una sinagoga, comimos bastante barato. Lo peor creo que fue que son bastantes horas de bus, aunque merece la pena y otra cosa que no nos gustó fue la parada en la cooperativa de argan, ya que era demasiado turístico, con sobreprecio y que retarda. Translate this opinion into English.

The excursion to Essaouira with the driver Mohammed is very good, I recommend it, he makes the way pleasant and gives explanations, plays music.... Perfect. Essaouira surprised us, as did the guide Hassan, very knowledgeable about the place, allowing us to enter a synagogue, we ate quite cheaply. The worst thing I think was that it takes quite a few hours by bus, although it is worth it and another thing we didn't like was the stop at the argan cooperative, since it was too touristy, overpriced and slow.

Gracias a Mohamed, el camino a Essaouira fue muy divertido y ameno. Essaouira es un lugar especial, muy bonito, pero tuvimos la mala suerte de encontrarnos una espesa niebla que no nos permitió ver la belleza del Atlántico en todo su esplendor. La clase magistral de Hassam (el guía una vez llegados a la ciudad) hizo que viéramos con otros ojos este lugar tan icónico. Translate this opinion into English.

Thanks to Mohamed, the road to Essaouira was very fun and enjoyable. Essaouira is a special place, very beautiful, but we were unlucky to encounter thick fog that did not allow us to see the beauty of the Atlantic in all its splendor. Hassam's master class (the guide once we arrived in the city) made us see this iconic place with different eyes. Opinion translated. Show original.

Nuestro guía Hassan fue increíble. Nos explicó todo sobre el pueblo y su cultura durante la visita. El viaje hacia Essaouira es un poco largo pero el conductor, nos explicó todo lo que íbamos viendo. La visita se hace corta, la verdad, ya que los traslados son de 3 horas y solo te queda 3-4 horas para visitar el pueblo. Hubo un momento en el que nos preguntó si queríamos parar en la cooperativa de aceite de argán pero le dijimos que preferíamos seguir con el viaje. Translate this opinion into English.

Our guide Hassan was amazing. He explained everything about the town and its culture to us during the visit. The trip to Essaouira is a bit long but the driver explained to us everything we were seeing. The visit is really short, since the transfers take 3 hours and you only have 3-4 hours left to visit the town. There was a moment when he asked us if we wanted to stop at the argan oil cooperative but we told him we preferred to continue with the trip. Opinion translated. Show original.

Fue bien , es un lugar precioso pero la excursión des de Marrakesh después de 3h de trayecto se hace muy corta pues solo estás 4 h allí contando que se ha de comer y todo. Es una salida a las 8h de la mañana con regreso a las 19h pero son más de 6h de trayecto. Sería conveniente que el regreso fuera después de cenar y de esa manera tener la sensación de aprovechar el día y de no estar en el minibús todo el día Translate this opinion into English.

It was good, it is a beautiful place but the excursion from Marrakesh after a 3h journey is very short since you are only there for 4h counting what you have to eat and everything. It leaves at 8 a.m. in the morning with a return at 7 p.m. but it takes more than 6 hours to travel. It would be convenient if the return was after dinner and thus have the feeling of taking advantage of the day and not being in the minibus all day Opinion translated. Show original.

Una ciudad súper bonita en la que aconsejo quedarse al menos una noche. La excursión está bien pero son muchas horas de autobús para el poco rato que disfrutas de la ciudad. Se aprovecharía mucho más si se saliese antes desde Marrakech. Se come súper bien en los puestos de pescado que encontrarás cerca del puerto. Regatea!!! Translate this opinion into English.

A super beautiful city where I recommend staying at least one night. The tour is fine but there are many hours by bus for the little time that you enjoy the city. It would take much more advantage if he left before from Marrakech. You can eat very well in the fish stalls that you will find near the port. haggle!!! Opinion translated. Show original.

Nos ha encantado la excursión a Essauira. Nuestro conductor Hasam un encanto, nos fue explicando todas nuestras preguntas por el camino. Pero quiero poner una nota negativa por que todos en el microbús pensábamos igual. Son excursiones muy largas de mas de 3 horas de ida y otras 3 de vuelta y muy poco tiempo en el lugar a visitar. Habría que volver como muy pronto a las 18h. Para disfrutar del lugar en cuestión. Por lo demás bien organizada Translate this opinion into English.

We have loved the excursion to Essaouira. Our driver Hasam was charming, he was explaining all our questions to us along the way. But I want to put a negative note because everyone in the minibus thought the same. They are very long excursions of more than 3 hours one way and another 3 back and very little time in the place to visit. It would be necessary to return at the earliest at 6:00 p.m. To enjoy the place in question. otherwise well organized Opinion translated. Show original.

La excursión perfecta gracias a nuestro conductor Hassan. Es una gran persona con la cual te diviertes a cada segundo.

Nuestro conductor Muhamad ha sido muy profesional, simpático y amable en todo momento. El guia en Essaouira, nos ha explicado la historia de la ciudad mientras nos enseñaba la Medina. Ha sido muy interesante. Merece la pena por ser una ciudad muy bonita y por el clima que tiene, que es fresco y sienta muy bien despues de unos dias de calor en Marrakech.

La excursion a Essapuira vale mucho la pena si estas pasando unos dias en Marrakech. A solo unas 2h llegas a una ciudad con un aire muy distindo al de Marrakech y con una Media preciosa. Nuestra excursion fue con Jacob, quien durante todo el camino va dando datos interesantes tanto de Marrkaech como de Essaouira. Una vez llegamos Jacob nos acompaña y hacemos un pequeño tour para luego dejarnos tiempo libre para comer y poder hacer algunas compras. Sin duda voleveriamos a Essaouira! Translate this opinion into English.

The excursion to Essapuira is well worth it if you are spending a few days in Marrakech. Only about 2 hours away you arrive in a city with a very different air from Marrakech and with a beautiful Media. Our excursion was with Jacob, who throughout the way is giving interesting information about both Marrkaech and Essaouira. Once we arrive Jacob accompanies us and we do a little tour and then we have free time to eat and do some shopping. We would definitely return to Essaouira! Opinion translated. Show original.

El traslado bien, el guia es inexistente. Un señor q conduce q dice cuatro cosas q apenas se entienden, cualquier vendedor del zoco habla mejor español. Llegamos, y ya parecia q quisiera marcharse, en dos horas lo veis dijo. Nos impusimos y estuvimos 5 horas. Si pongo muy bien es por que el sitio es precioso y vale la pena ir. Lo del guia es un chiste malo.

The transfer is good, the guide is non-existent. A man who drives who says four things that are barely understood, any vendor in the souk speaks better Spanish. We arrived, and it already seemed that he wanted to leave, in two hours you see him, he said. We prevailed and we were 5 hours. If I put very well it is because the site is beautiful and worth going. The guide thing is a bad joke.

La verdad es que el conductor fenomenal, la visita no esta mal por haber conocido la medina (ya que en 3 horas no da para mucho mas) pero, salvo si lo que quieres es pegarte un buen baño creo que es mucho tiempo de trayecto para ello. De todas formas, repito, la excursión no ha estado mal. Translate this opinion into English.

The truth is that the driver is phenomenal, the visit is not bad for having known the medina (since in 3 hours it doesn't take much longer) but, unless you want to take a good bath, I think it's a long journey time to it. In any case, I repeat, the excursion has not been bad. Opinion translated. Show original.

Nos pasaron a buscar por el apartamento y después de 3h30min hemos llegado Essaouira. Nos dejaron 3h libres y muy bien, es muy bonito y merece la pena si se tienen varios días en Marrakech y quieres llenar tu viaje. Si que es cierto que 3h es muy poco para conocer la ciudad, así que como recomendación merece la pena hacer una noche allí. Translate this opinion into English.

They picked us up at the apartment and after 3h30min we arrived in Essaouira. They left us 3 hours free and it was great, it's very beautiful and worth it if you have several days in Marrakech and want to fill your trip. It is true that 3h is very little to get to know the city, so as a recommendation it is worth spending a night there. Opinion translated. Show original.

Actividad totalmente recomendable para escapar del calor tremendo de Marrakech! Te llevan en bus hasta allí y luego te sueltan para que investigues por tu cuenta, cosa que agradecimos enormemente!

La excursión fue Excelente. Lahcen nos hizo el viaje ameno y divertido. Excelente conductor. Sabía mucho sobre cultura e historia de la ciudad y nos fue contando todo. Además, de camino a Essouira paramos para ver los árboles de argán y una cooperativa de mujeres. Essouira es tranquila y bonita. También es un lugar fresco. Recomiendo llevar algo para cubrirte por si hace un poco de frío. Recomiendo hacer esta excursión, sobre todo si viajas bastantes días a marrakech y te sobra tiempo.

I recommend bringing something to cover you in case it gets a bit cold. I recommend doing this excursion, especially if you travel to Marrakech for several days and you have time to spare.

Essaouira es muy bonito y el ambiente de la Medina es fantástico. El trayecto resulta ser más largo de lo indicado, tardamos casi 4 horas en llegar y 3 en regresar por lo que se hace algo pesado, depende de los días que se disponga habría que valorar si merece la pena. Translate this opinion into English.

Essaouira is very beautiful and the environment of the Medina is fantastic. The journey turns out to be longer than indicated, it took us almost 4 hours to arrive and 3 to return, so it becomes a bit heavy, it depends on the days available, it would be necessary to assess whether it is worth it.
