Solo Traveller

I joined the Essaouira Day Trip From Marrakech with Bouquet Tours as a solo female traveler, and it couldn’t have been a better experience! From the moment I was picked up at my riad, I felt completely safe and well taken care of. The driver was punctual, polite, and made sure I was comfortable throughout the journey.

The drive through the Moroccan countryside was beautiful, and the stop at the Argan oil cooperative was fascinating — it was inspiring to see local women at work and learn about traditional production methods.

When we arrived in Essaouira, I instantly fell in love with the coastal charm — the blue-and-white medina, ocean breeze, and relaxed vibe made it easy to explore on my own. I wandered through the markets, enjoyed fresh seafood by the port, and spent time by the beach without ever feeling uneasy or rushed.

The day ended with mint tea overlooking the sea, and I returned to Marrakech feeling refreshed, inspired, and grateful for such a well-organized and safe trip.

If you’re a solo female traveler looking for a peaceful, culturally rich, and stress-free day trip, I can’t recommend Bouquet Tours enough — they made the experience truly special and worry-free!
