Book on Viator Confirmed right away, but you pay full price.$162.10Overview
This private day trip lasts between 10 and 13 hours and includes hotel pickup and drop-off in Marrakech. Travel comfortably in an air-conditioned vehicle with a driver who speaks English, Spanish, and French. The journey begins with a pickup near the Riad in Marrakech, followed by a stop at a small café in Chichaoua for a short break with restroom access and optional tea or coffee. Next, visit the Afous Argan women’s cooperative, where argan nuts are manually ground and pressed to produce oil used in cooking and skincare. Afterward, continue to Essaouira, a coastal city known for its 18th-century architecture, traditional fishing port, and active arts community. Spend about four hours exploring the historic medina, browsing artisan shops, and enjoying the ocean views at your own pace. The return trip includes a pickup from the same spot in Essaouira, a brief restroom break, and a drive back to Marrakech, where the tour ends at the original pickup location. Lunch and gratuities are not included in the price.
