“Great time! The guide and chauffeur were very nice. We loved the cultural info our guide Nordine gave us during the ride. The mini bus was comfortable. The town of Essaouira was beautiful and our guide had given us Maps links to good places to see before letting us go into town on our own. Thank you! One idea: put a sign on the minibus for the destination because at the pickup point, there were ten identical vans and it took us a while to ask and find the correct one. No big deal, but we made people a little late.”
