The driver didn't even introduce himself because he knew what he was going to do; he was driving like a crazy person. Kept circling and stopping around Marrakech and it took us 4h to get there. On the way there he was so slow I would've been faster running there. Going 50 on a 100 road and then of course on the way back we were really fast because he was speeding of course. He wanted to get home really fast clearly as the next day it's Eid. While driving kept the window down when it was cold and air conditioner was working perfectly. We had to tell him multiple times to close it because it was cold. Lying saying that it wasn't working when it completely was as as soon as we got in we closed it because it was cold. And then suddenly 15 minutes before arriving Essaouira he said it was working. Of course we stopped at a café where they'd know the sellers. Drove while talking on the phone the entire trip and at the end dropped people where they weren't supposed to be dropped. Almost crashed into other cars multiple times and wouldn't even check if everyone was on the bus.

The driver was fun and easy going. The add states 8 5hrs for the tour yet it took 11hrs. This was the most disappointing as I had train ride booked and lost my fee and had to repurchase ticket again. There was no option given if we wanted to do a walking tour of Essaouira. Every other tour I've done have option if you want to do a tour we have a guide, buy no option given.

Well, it started with the driver picking my wife and me up at 9:00am... an hour after the quoted 8:00am time. From there we were driven around while they picked up and dropped off other people on other tours. Then they stopped at a gas station and had to change vehicles. Poor communication and your company employees yelling at each other. It's now 10:00am we begin heading out of town and the driver pulls over. There was supposed to be a english speaking guide. We had no guide, just the driver who spoke French and Arabic but offered nothing in the way of being a tour guide. During the time we were riding around and sitting on the side of the road, the driver was either talking to a woman on the phone (We think it was his wife) or sneezing or coughing. I was sitting in the front seat and was exposed to it non- stop. Several times I asked him to cover his mouth. He would not. I have Leukaemia and my immune system is not what it once was. We stopped for a bathroom break and he started coughing and I covered my mouth with my hand and said COVER, COVER, COVER. His response was "NO" then he said something in French and aggressively poked me with his finger. We arrived at our destination 5 hours after the quoted start time. It was only 2.5 hours away. Traveling international is not inexpensive, so when you waste time driving around and then sitting on the side of the road, you will think twice the next time you book a tour. The next time this driver does something like this, he might run up on someone that's not 64 with cancer. Overall, he was the worst driver/guide we've ever had and he needs to take lessons in customer service. Best part, no one on the trip tipped him. Oh. getting back to Marrakech so late, we missed our planned dinner.

Note that the trip only includes transfer. You will have 3,5 hours in Essaouira which is more than enough. The driver will expect some tip at the end, otherwise gets mad at you.
