On time, but it was quite chaotic getting on board because we were unfamiliar with the system. The bus was old and not very comfortable. There were strange hard ridges part way up all the seat backs.

Was difficult to book online as the confirmation came too late and we thought we hadn't booked it and so we booked another two seats. We also asked could we come back to Marrakech on the earlier bus and the lady in Essaurioa was rude and said it was full on the 2pm.so we had to go ait to 330pm. But the 330pm wasn't even full.

The driver drove too fast, when the speed limit was 100 km/h he drove 150, he was answering to his mobile or checking messages. In the small villages he drove at less 90 km/h.

The taxi driver did not contact us about the pick up location. Finally we met him at the gate at the entrance of the medina one hour late. The taxi driver did not know how to find the adress of our airB&B in Marrakech and dropped us at a place where we still had to walk 15 minutes to reach the accommodation. We were not happy.

Really dirty buses. The driver was stopping every 10 minutes and because of this we were delayed more than 1 hour

I don't usually leave negative reviews, but this trip was full of unpleasant surprises. To be brief, the outbound journey was great; the bus was clean and the crew friendly. During the break along the way, they clearly told us it was a break. However, on the return trip, I don't know which company it was, but the bus was dirty and in poor condition. That wasn't a big deal, though; it was the smell that was unpleasant—a mixture of diesel and vomit! In short, a journey where we felt nauseous the entire time, with very frequent stops to pick up other passengers until they were all crammed into the aisle. Obviously, we arrived an hour late! So, I'm very disappointed, as are my companions.

On time departure, broken seats, crowded bus (we had to give up one of our paid seats to others), helpful staff, good driver, extra £ for luggage but overall OK.
