Essaouira to Marrakesh Destination Reviews

Horrible, no AC, the bus is really old and we arrived 1h30 after we were supposed to arrive. The bus also kept stopping on the side of the road to pick up people off the street. Would not recommend !!!!

I had to have my ticket confirmed at a booth inside the bus station which was not a problem , but I didnt know I had to do this, so thank God I came early . I had to pay 10dhm (which I know is nothing )to have my bag put in the luggage hold and protected ..of course it was not protected!! The bus was dirty and there was no air conditioning during the first part of the journey .Sometimes it was on , sometimes off.Even the locals where pissed off and finally it states there was wifi ...there wasn't. The lesson learnt is that it is better to spend more on a good company and service.

The bus gets you from a to B, it gets you there on time, but it’s hot and there is no decent air-conditioning. It’s also a bit noisy with kids playing their music out loud and no one saying anything. But as a budget way of travelling it definitely gets you where you need to go, albeit not in style.

We chose the cheapest and got what we paid for. Process is confusing for foreigners, obviously normal for locals. Overall the service exceeded our low expectations so not so bad. Arrived on time.

It was a horrible experience, it took longer than specified, it was smelly, no comfort breaks and no air con, the ceiling panel also broke, so no air circulating.
