They provided us with a driver and a guide in Spanish. The guide gave all the explanations from the van; he did not accompany us to any of the places; we had to discover everything on our own using Google Maps. I thought that the guide is the one who leads the tourists and gives explanations on-site. He gave us 20 minutes at each site and then asked us to find where they were parked. They had about 2 hours left of the excursion. At 2 o'clock sharp, we were back in Casablanca again. I gave him 20 dirhams as a tip, and he complained that it was only 2 euros, what a shame. Excursions are like that; you may encounter people who are dedicated to their work and others who are not. If I had known, I would have booked the excursion in English; perhaps I would have had better luck.
It was excellent A great day to walk . . . . . . . . .. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Que ótimo saber que você teve uma experiência excelente! Fico feliz que tenha aproveitado o passeio e tido um dia maravilhoso. Volte sempre para mais aventuras! 😊
We were short changed by this tour company. Khalil, picked us up on time at our hotel. He introduced himself as our guide. When in fact - he was just a driver. He took us to Kasbah and told us he will meet us in the car in 30 mins. He did not give any information about Kasbah, etc. He did the same thing in Mausoleum of Mohammad V and in Chellar. In other words- we had no tour guide at all. We had to rely on our own prior readings to appreciate the history of Rabat. When I told him that the last part of the tour is the old market, he said that all the stores are closed due to the fact that it is Friday and it is Ramadan. I told him to at least take us to the area where the old market is so at least we will see how it is from the outside. He told us that he already showed us where it is when he took us to Kasbah and that we have to turn around to see the market. I realized then that Khalil did not really have the compassion of a tour guide understanding how important it is for tourists to see places in Rabat to appreciate more the history of Morocco. Please do not book any tour with this company. You will waste your money and your time.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We sincerely appreciate the opportunity to address your concerns regarding your recent experience with us. After reviewing the details with our team, we would like to confirm that Khalil provided in-depth explanations about the history of Rabat at each stop along the tour, as well as during the drive from Casablanca to Rabat. He is always eager to engage with guests, answer any questions, and ensure a memorable and enjoyable experience for all. We understand that the tour may not have fully met your expectations for a more detailed or in-depth exploration, and we apologize if this led to any confusion or resulted in a less satisfying experience. We would also like to clarify that the market you requested to visit was not included in the official tour itinerary. While we are confident that Khalil would have been more than happy to accommodate your request, the tour’s schedule had already been established, and the available time was insufficient to add an unscheduled stop. To ensure that all planned locations were properly covered, it was necessary to follow the original itinerary. We value your feedback and would be grateful for the opportunity to welcome you back in the future. We would be delighted to offer a more engaging and comprehensive tour that aligns with your expectations.

We book a day trip with Easy Transfers to Morocco’s capital, Rabat. Our guide was Khaiil, he picked us up in a new and very clean van, which was very comfortable for my family and I. Khaiil did a great job showing us the city. He took us to a few historical sites, one was the Kabah of the Udayas, another was the Hassan Tower and Mausoleum of Mohammed, and the Challah, a medieval fortified Muslim necropolis of Rabat. Afterwards we were given an option on where we would like to go for lunch, and we picked a beautiful seaside restaurant, which I believe was called Marian Bay. Khaiil was a fun and dynamic guide. We would hire him again.
Thank you for sharing your experience! We’re delighted to hear that the guide provided a comfortable and enjoyable tour of Rabat, and that you appreciated the historical sites and seaside lunch.

The drive from Casablanca to Rabat gave us an appreciation of the contrast between these two important cities and the landscape in between. Our driver was informative and answered all of our questions. He made several stops in Rabat which gave us a chance to experience the key parts of the city. Lunch at a restaurant on the beach was delicious and relaxing.

Guide was knowledgeable and a nice gentleman with lots of interesting facts about Moroccan history. Rabat is a lovely city for a nice day-trip from (somewhat underwhelming) Casablanca.
Thank you for your feedback! We are glad to hear that you enjoyed your day trip to Rabat and found our guide knowledgeable and engaging. We completely agree—Rabat is a charming city with so much to offer, especially as a day trip from Casablanca. We hope you had a memorable experience exploring its history and culture!
Rabat is the most beautiful city we have seen in Morocco in the three weeks we've been traveling this country. Both our driver Khalil and guide Sila deserve 10/10. We had no difficulty understanding them. We were well informed not only Rabat's history, but overall information about Morocco and it's traditions, culture and history. We felt the whole day unfolded at a pleasant pace. A bonus was that the vehicle was very comfortable.
