Worst service and agency EVER !! I booked a one day trip to Essaouira with this agency 14 days ago, they confirmed with me the availability, I gave them all the information needed and confirmed the pick up location. I contacted them 2 days and 1 day before the trip to re-confim and they confirmed I also asked about another contact number I can call in case they don’t show up and never got the number, I was totally right because they never showed up !!! How unprofessional and disrespectful is this ?? no one showing up, no one answering my calls nor my messages ?? Worst thing is that they were online, read the messages I sent right in the moment in WhatsApp and didn’t have enough respect to say anything. I just don’t understand why would you confirm and re-confirm an activity and just never show up nor give an explanation?? Really shame on you !! I was planning for this trip for so long and being treated this way was definitely the worst service ever. So if you want to save your time and holidays plans never book anything with the agency!!

Booked city tour last minute but no issues at all. Hicham was very funny and his smile was infectious. He was slightly shy as he thought his speaking of English was poor but that was not the case whatsoever. His spoken English was good. I couldn’t thank him enough. His jokes were actually funny and the trip went so fast as we really enjoyed his company. Again THANKYOU to Admire Morocco ???????? for the great service provided. Your tour guides do not treat people like paying customers they are treated like friends and family and also with respect. Will definitely use you again Nila & Angel

Loved the tour. Water falls, monkeys, and boat ride were great. Tour guide gave a lot of interesting information and the lunch was amazing (only €10). Be carful with the monkeys. One of them stole my sunglasses but the guide managed to have someone retrieve them for me before the end of the trip
