Marrakech to Essaouira Destination Reviews

Despite the ticket clearly saying our baggage was included, the INCREDIBLY rude man refused to read our ticket and charged us extra for baggage. Bus was hot and most people were rude.

Bus left half an hour later than scheduled after waiting for people who arrived late. Other than that it was a fairly straightforward journey. Driver stops for a break halfway at a store that charges ripoff prices.

The MPV/minivan we ordered was in use on another job, so we had a 15 seat luxury minibus for four of us. It looked brand new though, and was really comfy, with the best air conditioning we’ve had all holiday!

The bus was not very clean. When we tried to disembark we were practically mobbed by the next lot wanting to get on. We had to climb out on the driver's side. On arrival staff were very friendly and helpful.

Service left early but this was communicated to me a day in advance via WhatsApp. Cost effective & comfortable ride.

Cheap but confusing. The bus left much later and took much longer than announced. Luggage had to be paid extra in cash even though it said that it was included on the ticket. Also there was no AC but luckily it wasn’t a hot day. All together I’d still do it again as the value for money was acceptable!
