Private Driver & Chauffeur Service in Essaouira

Essaouira is a historic port city on Morocco's Atlantic coast, famous for its 18th-century medina, fresh seafood, and year-round trade winds that attract windsurfers and kitesurfers from around the world. Most visitors arrive by road from Marrakech — a scenic 2.5-hour drive through argan forests. A private driver makes this journey comfortable and flexible, with optional stops at argan oil cooperatives, goat-in-tree viewpoints, and the coastal cliffs. Our chauffeur service also covers transfers from Essaouira-Mogador Airport (ESU) and excursions to Sidi Kaouki beach, the village of Diabat, and the surrounding countryside. With a private vehicle, you avoid the inflexible schedules of shared minibuses and arrive exactly where you need to be.

We offer airport transfers, day trips, and multi-day tours from Essaouira.Read more about our safety standards or check our FAQ.

Nous les avons engagés pour nous ramener à Tanger avec nos 2 vélos au terme d'un grande traversée cyclotouriste de Tanger à Mhamid. Ce n'est pas donné mais le service est hyper professionnel : communication fluide, adaptabilité (on a changé l'itinéraire quelques jours avant pour le fractionner en 2 étapes à une semaine d'intervalle), chauffeurs ponctuels et prudents, véhicule en parfait état...A recommander sans restriction.

Sidi Kaouki & Imsouane Surf Coast Tour from Essaouira

Discover the wilder side of the Essaouira coast on a journey to Sidi Kaouki and Imsouane, two legendary surf villages south of the fortified city. This excursion keeps you close to Essaouira (within 100km) but transports you to a more rugged, less developed Atlantic coastline where camels roam dunes and surfers chase perfect waves. Sidi Kaouki, just 25km south of Essaouira, offers miles of empty beach, camel treks across sand dunes, and consistent surf breaks. Further south, Imsouane is a fishing village turned surf mecca, famous for The Bay—Morocco's longest right-hand surf wave, peeling for 800 meters on good days. Even non-surfers appreciate the village's bohemian vibe, fresh fish tagines, and the dramatic meeting of mountains and ocean. This is the anti-Agadir trip: no high-rises, no crowds, just raw Atlantic nature, Berber fishing culture, and the kind of untouched coastline that reminded Jimi Hendrix of the California he missed. Perfect for those who love Essaouira's vibe but want to see where the locals escape when the medina gets too crowded.

Safi Pottery & Portuguese Fortress Tour from Essaouira

Journey 140km north along the Atlantic coast to Safi, Morocco's pottery capital and a city with its own Portuguese colonial history rivaling Essaouira's. While Essaouira's medina is famous for woodwork, Safi dominates Moroccan ceramics—the distinctive blue-and-white pottery found throughout the country originates here, crafted from local clay using techniques unchanged since the 16th century. Safi's history parallels Essaouira's: both were Portuguese strongholds in the 1500s (Safi was occupied 1508-1541), both have massive sea-facing fortresses, and both are working fishing ports. But while Essaouira became an artists' colony, Safi became an industrial pottery center. The result is a more authentic, less touristy experience where you can watch master potters throw clay in workshops that supply the entire kingdom. The drive north follows the rugged coastline through the Haha region, passing small fishing villages and argan forests. Safi's Kechla (Portuguese fortress), the Colline des Potiers (Potters' Hill), and the lively fish market make this an essential excursion for those interested in Moroccan crafts, history, or seeking a less polished alternative to the Essaouira tourist circuit.

I used this agency for intercity travel during my 9-day trip to Morocco. I selected this agency after comparing it with others because communication was quick and efficient. Tangier-Casablanca Casablanca-Marrakech Fez-Chefchaouen Chefchaouen-Tangier-Mer Port As a family of seven, I was worried about transportation, but thanks to this agency, we were able to travel comfortably and safely. The drivers arrived on time, were well-mannered, and communicated in English, which was great. I highly recommend them.

We used Official Morocco Private Driver for three different legs of our trip through Morocco — Casablanca to Fez, Fez to Chefchaouen, and Chefchaouen to Tangier — and the experience was excellent from start to finish. We were a group of seven travelling together (six adults and one child), with ages ranging from 2 to over 80, so coordinating transportation could have been stressful. This company made everything incredibly easy. Communication through WhatsApp was prompt and organized the entire time. There was always someone available to answer questions, confirm details, and make sure we had everything we needed. The vehicles were clean, comfortable, and spacious enough for both our group and all of our luggage. I had requested a baby car seat for every transfer, and it was always there without fail, which we really appreciated. All of the drivers were polite, punctual, helpful, and safe drivers. Along the way they offered recommendations for places to stop for lunch and helped make the longer travel days much more enjoyable and relaxed. Overall, this service removed so much of the stress from planning transportation logistics for a large family group. We would absolutely use them again and highly recommend them to anyone travelling through Morocco.

We relied on this company for our week-long tour of the imperial cities. From the first contact, the company stood out for its efficiency and courtesy. A heartfelt thanks to our driver, Mr. Ali, who, with his impeccable work, kindness, and great professionalism, managed to connect Casablanca, Marrakech, Fez, Meknes, and Rabat with the attention you'd give a family member or dear friend. Thank you so much!

We had Shakib as our private driver for our trip and he was the best ever. He provided a level of service that was truly exceptional and one of a kind! He is so genuine, kind and pure hearted, and wanted to ensure everyone had a great time. He was punctual to every single event on our itinerary and did everything with a smile! Even helping us with tasks outside of just transport, where we would need the knowledge of a local, he went above and beyond to ensure our trip ran smoothly. Anyone who manages to have Shakib as a driver is so lucky and I will always recommend him to anyone coming to Marrakech

I had an absolutely incredible experience in Morocco (Marrakech), and a huge part of that was thanks to Chakib, my private driver and personal tour guide. From start to finish, he was nothing short of spectacular. His knowledge of the area was outstanding—he didn’t just take me to places, he brought them to life with stories, history, and local insight that made everything more meaningful. Beyond that, his personality made the entire trip even better. He was friendly, professional, and genuinely cared about making sure I had the best experience possible. What really stood out was how comfortable and at ease he made me feel. It felt less like a service and more like traveling with a friend who truly wanted me to enjoy every moment. He went above and beyond in every way. If you’re planning a trip to Morocco, I can’t recommend Chakib enough. He turned a great trip into an unforgettable one.

We (3 couples) used this service for a 13 day trip from Rabat to Marrakech to Skoura. The Sprinter was clean, new and comfortable. We were glad that we had use of the vehicle for the entire trip and not point to point. The cost was very reasonable. Chakib was our driver and guide. He was wonderful and very helpful. He was always at our service and very helpful. We recommend Chakib and this service without reservation.

This is a very professional service. I recommend it for group travel. The communication was excellent right from the beginning and our itinerary went to plan all 4 days. Abdul our driver had great recommendations from Quad biking to dinner restaurants. He knows it all- very reliable. We felt safe and well taken care of. The Sprinter was clean, comfortable and fully air conditioned. I never really leave reviews but for this service I had to. The customer service we received made our days even more memorable.

I booked a transfer from Fes to Rabat. Online booking was clear and easy, and communications with the owner by WhatsApp prior to the transfer were timely and helpful. The English-speaking driver, Khalid, arrived punctually to meet me at my hotel in Fes, and I felt safe and comfortable in his car. He was polite and professional, and I liked the fact that he did not have any music or radio playing during the journey. The overall price seemed very reasonable. Therefore I highly recommend this company.

We used this service for a round trip between Agadir and Marrakech. We had two different drivers, both excellent. Professional, friendly and attentive, they gave us information about the country and tips on local attractions to discover. Communication was done via WhatsApp, from booking to return. Once payment is received, a driver is assigned to you and you can communicate directly with them. Water is provided and the vehicle has Wi-Fi. Overall, a very positive and excellent experience. We highly recommend this service to our loved ones. Thank you very much!
