Essaouira Full Day Trip

Picked us up from our hotel to a center place . There was slight confusion which group we are going to join. Once that got sorted out we were on our way. Our driver was very nice and accommodating. He stopped at a restaurant for us to get coffee and drinks and use the restroom. He then stopped at “goats on the trees”. Gave us enough time to take pictures and actually helped us to take pictures. He then stopped at a place where Argan oil is extracted. Our next stop was at essaouria. He dropped us and told us that he will pick us up at the parking lot in 5 hours. That gives us enough time to explore the beach and town . The highlight of the trip is one of best sea food We ever had. There are number of small shacks where the have fresh sea food caught that day , you pick and they cook for you. If you like seafood must try it. You can shop but remember you need to bargain to get good deals

Grumpy unfriendly driver, driving a dirty old and uncomfortable minibus. No air conditioning in 35 degrees heat. The driver picked us up at 08-15 and then made 3 or 4 other pick ups before we actually set off so we did not arrive in Essaouira until 12-30 some 4 hours 15 mins later even though he drove like a maniac overtaking other vehicles sometimes in my mind dangerously.it really was a white knuckle ride The minibus had very hard suspension so you felt every bump on very bumpy roads, the driver refused to put the air conditioning on even after being requested to do so 3 or 4 times. The minibus was dirty and had drink stains over the inner walls and looked like it had not been cleaned interiorly for a very long time. Overall not a very good experience 7-8 hours travelling to spend around 3hours 30 mins in the town. would I recommend this excursion....Nooooooooo
