A few problems, to say the least
I won't be churlish and leave a 1 star review but I think some people might. The trip got off to a bad start when I was kept waiting for 25 mins beyond the agreed pick up time. The tour company said they had to pick up the first passengers from a hotel a few miles south of my hotel. But there's no excuse. They could have revised my pickup time. The fairly long journey was broken up with a few stops. First we stopped to take photos of some impressive coastal scenery. Next we stopped to see goats supposedly climbing trees to eat the foliage. I fear there's evidence the goats do not climb the trees by instinct but are placed there by herders who regard it as a way to make money from tourists. It's probably cruel. The guide then talked for far too long in both English and French on the bus, telling us about the history of Morocco. I really would have preferred to travel in silence. When we arrived in Essaouira, our guide led us into the Medina. There were frequent stops for him to offer further comments. I didn't expect this, and I didn't like it. I suggest there should have been an option to have free time, to look around ourselves, and meet back at the bus at some agreed time. I don't like being led around like a school child. Perhaps linked to my boredom, I stopped to buy something. It only took a minute and I assumed I could catch up with the group. But, in the event, I never saw them again. Perhaps they turned off without the guide checking he had not left anyone behind. I contacted the tour organiser using whatsapp. He did reply with a suggestion to meet the group later but I had already walked to the CTM bus station and bought a ticket for the next coach back to Agadir.

It was excellent value...
It was excellent value for money-the guide was good and we got to see a part of Morocco that we didn’t know was so lovely. The coastline was amazing
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the tour and discovered a beautiful side of Morocco you didn’t expect. The coastline truly is breathtaking, and we're so glad you got to experience it with us. It’s great to know you found the tour to be excellent value and that your guide made the experience even more special. We’d love to welcome you back anytime for more adventures in Morocco! Warm regards, The Face Tours Morocco Team

Okay day trip
It was a long drive from Agadir, which I expected. The guy takes you around town and explains things and then takes you to lunch (you pay for your own lunch). We went over to the fort which for me was the whole reason I wanted to go on the trip. You only get 10 minutes over there and I would have wanted longer. You get some free time at the end so I went around to the marina and then I went to the beach nearby. I wanted to sit over there until The pickup time, but the wind was so strong. It was blowing sand everywhere and in your face so I couldn’t sit over there. I ended up sitting near the meeting point in having an ice cream instead. At the end of the tour, the driver and guy didn’t drop me at my hotel which I found unacceptable. They left me down on the main road instead and told me to walk up. I had a tip for them but I didn’t bother to give it to them because I felt that was disrespectful and lazy. I’m sure everyone else got dropped at their hotel. It was Ramadan and I’m sure they wanted to get home fast so they could eat but I still think it’s unacceptable.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your kind message! I appreciate your feedback, and I’m happy to clarify. I believe there may have been some confusion. I just want to confirm that this review and the experience you shared were not with Face Tours, but with a different agency. I would recommend removing or updating the review on TripAdvisor to reflect the correct tour provider, as we want to ensure accuracy for future guests. We value your feedback and are always working to improve our services. Thank you again, and we hope to have the opportunity to welcome you on a Face Tours excursion in the future!

A long but worthwhile trip
It’s a 12 hr day including pick up & drop off! Interesting place to visit. Traditional fishing port. Would have liked less time in restaurant/ Argan oil place to give more time around Kasbar & medina though. Guide (Abdulah) was good.
Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing your thoughts! We're glad to hear you found the places you visited interesting, and that you had a good experience with our guide, Abdulah. We appreciate your feedback about the time spent at the restaurant and the Argan oil place. We always aim to balance the various stops to provide a well-rounded experience, but we understand your desire for more time to explore the Kasbah and Medina. We’ll certainly take this into consideration as we continue to refine the itinerary. Thank you again for your feedback, and we hope to have the opportunity to welcome you on another Face Tours experience in the future! Best regards, The Face Tours Morocco Team

A very good day out with an excellent guide
Picked up from our hotel a little after 7.30am by taxi, taken to a rendezvous point where we boarded a new VW minibus. Slight delay in collecting one couple (no-ones fault) then off to Essaouira. Stopped off to see the goats climbing trees - what an amazing experience. A couple of other stops then guided tour of Essaouira harbour and Medina. Had lunch there (food was average but okay). What a cool hippy/boho vibe Essaouira has, definitely worth the long journey. Favourite experience was the tree goats though 😊 Driver was professional and safe, guide was awesome.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed your day trip to Essaouira, especially the unique experience of seeing the goats climbing trees! It's truly one of those moments that makes Morocco so special, and we’re so glad it was a highlight of your tour. We appreciate your understanding regarding the slight delay with the pickup and are happy to know that you were comfortable with the rest of the journey. Essaouira definitely has that cool, boho vibe, and it's fantastic that you got to experience it with our guide and driver. We'll also take your feedback about lunch into consideration as we continue to improve the experience for our guests. Thank you again for your kind words! We hope to have the opportunity to show you more of Morocco in the future. Best regards, The Face Tours Morocco Team

Essaouira day trip from Agadir & Taghazout: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Agadir.
How much does Essaouira day trip from Agadir & Taghazout cost?
+
Prices start at $34 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Agadir usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Essaouira day trip from Agadir & Taghazout take?
+
Plan for about 10 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Agadir is not rushed.
Is Essaouira day trip from Agadir & Taghazout worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 63 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.2/5 across 21 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Agadir, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Essaouira day trip from Agadir & Taghazout?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Essaouira day trip from Agadir & Taghazout suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 10-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Essaouira day trip from Agadir & Taghazout?
+
Around 7 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Agadir can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Agadir and add a light layer if any part of the 10-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Essaouira day trip from Agadir & Taghazout start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Agadir within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Agadir?
+
On Outty we rank every Agadir experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Paradise Valley and Atlas Mountains Adventure in Agadir, 4x4 Jeep Safari in Agadir Mini Sahara and Berber Lunch, Agadir City Tour & Cable Car Experience. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Agadir?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Agadir?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
