Essaouira to Marrakech Destination Reviews

Don’t book this! The picture it shows is not the bus you get! Advertised as an air conditioned bus, it was not! No aircon, absolutely packed bus, everyone was sweating and the smell coming from the personal hygiene of others made us feel nauseous. It was advertised as an express bus it stopped about 30x times to pick up and drop off anyone. It ran 1 hour late! Definitely got scammed here! Make sure you book through superstores website or CTM website, we travelled those two companies elsewhere in Morocco and they were great!

He was a very nice man, tells you great information about Marocco. Stops whenever I wanted to and recommends places to stop, and that made the ride even more enjoyable!

No issues with bus or driver. We had a 10 minute convenience stop half way through the 3 hour trip. All good. Gets you from A to B.

The company simply put us in a local bus even if the correct bus was there at the station. I assume they didn't have enough bookings and put their guests into other busses. There were no reserved seat numbers and the AC didn't work.
