Essaouira is a city of pirates and adventurers, where around every corner, you'll uncover some amazing stories of betrayal and nobility, love and hate, of mind-blowing adventures and triumph. Being a favourite destination for Musicians and artists from all around the world, Essaouira has squares and alleys filled with music and acrobats and Africans dancing to concerts on the beach among the thundering roar of the ocean at night. Essaouira is a bustling fishing port with a market offering a fantastic array of ocean creatures, a bustling port that smells far from pleasant and is, therefore, lively and authentic. Essaouira is a favourite destination for filmmakers; titles such as Game of Thrones, Othello, Phaedra and Kingdom of Heaven were filmed here. What matters most are the ocean, the sun, the incredible sunrises and sunsets and the smiles of everyone you meet. The love of Essaouira will remain with you forever!

5.00Mohammed was an extremely knowledgeable guide, a legitimate expert on so many topics and genuinely curious and inquisitive about the tour. He was warm, funny, and took the time to think about our interests. We’d done a few tours on our trip, and he was by far and away the best guide. We had excellent communication throughout from the company, and really valued the personal nature of the booking.

5.00Special thanks to Rachid for showing us Essaouira. The tour was amazing. Behind the fish market, to the streets of the market, to a fabulous restaurant to have dinner. We really appreciated him showing us the city. We absolutely loved our time there, and hearing the history and current state made it all the more special. What an amazing trip, fantastic tour, and welcoming city. Thanks Rachid. I highly recommend this tour to others.

5.00My group of 10 friends enjoyed a very informative and thorough walk around Essaouirra with tour guide and historian Rachid. His knowledge and insights about Essaouirra -- in the current day and in the past -- were far-reaching! His descriptions added a level of understanding and enjoyment of the city and port that I am sure we would have missed on our own. Also, he was flexible with some specific adjustments my group needed to make along the way. I highly recommend this walking tour.
Essaouira is for ever

5.00On one of the days of our New Year's Moroccan tour, my family and I went to Essaouira. Our guide was Jalil, a unique guide who knows five languages and knows the answer to any question about the country and life. On the way we stopped at the argan oil factory and took pictures with goats on argan trees. In the city we were amazed by everything. The beauty of the old streets, the boutiques of artists, the fish market and the fortress from the embankment. And how we admired the extraordinary restaurant on the roof of the hotel! And how we saw off the sun in a cafe with a view of the Purple islands! Essaouira is for ever…
The Unforgettable Essueira with Katya

5.00Essoueira is one of Morocco's most beautiful cities. I really wanted to find an equally wonderful guide. And I did! Katya herself was our wonderful guide, she organized an absolutely awesome tour of the city. Inhaling the smell of the ocean, drinking coffee on the roof of the hotel overlooking Magador, listened to stories about Tuareg and Gnahua, Nero's robes and purple, read patterns on carpets and looked at Tuareg jewelry , discussed genie crafts , enjoyed relaxed interaction . Thank you so much for your unforgettable time together in a city you want to return to again and again!

5.00The trip was fully organised by our fantastic guide. The city itself is very beautiful. There are a lot of places to take cool photos. A lot of restaurants, for every taste. Though, the main marketplace was smelly. Our guide Mohammed, knew the city very well and told a lot about its history.
