Walid picked us up right on time, even early in the morning. What really showed his character though: when one of our group got lost in the Medina before picking her up he immediately went out to find her. That was a really kind move and set the tone for the whole day and whole group like it ❤️ After that, Walid was brilliant. He’s super knowledgeable and explains everything like a podcast funny 🫶🏽🙌🏽interesting, and easy to follow. Casablanca itself is fantastic, and the Hassan II Mosque was 100% worth visiting. We also had lunch at a beautiful Italian restaurant and the food was excellent. Huge thanks as well to our driver Momo, who drove us carefully and safely all day in Casablanca traffic Highly recommend this tour if you want a guide who’s professional, human, and fun.
Thank you so much for your amazing review! We’re delighted that Walid and Momo made your Casablanca tour special, safe, and enjoyable. Your kind words about Walid’s care, knowledge, and professionalism mean a lot. We’ll gladly share your feedback with them!
The experience was very beautiful; I highly recommend the guide (Ousama) and the driver (Mohamed), who were very attentive and kind.
Muchas gracias por su amable comentario. Nos alegra saber que la experiencia fue muy bonita y que Ousama y Mohamed fueron atentos y amables. Agradecemos mucho su recomendación y esperamos darle la bienvenida de nuevo pronto.
Transfers, food, and the tour were incredible. Our guide Yassine was always very kind, addressing all our questions. The Mosque is truly impressive!!
¡Muchas gracias! Nos alegra que los traslados, la comida y el tour hayan estado increíbles. Yassine estará feliz con tus palabras. La Mezquita es realmente impresionante. ¡Hasta pronto! 😊
long tour of 10 hours and very little to see in Casablanca except the Grand Mosque. To kill time - they give us 90 mins for lunch and the 90 mins on the beach. Can be easily reduced to 7 hours
Thank you for your honest feedback. We understand your point about the tour length and will review the itinerary to offer a more balanced experience. Your input helps us improve—hope to welcome you again! 😊
This was more a taxi service then a tour. The transportation was itselft wasn't great, from a comfort and higene perspective with temperature inside the bus reaching uncomfortable levels at time mostly as the driver seemed to be saving on petrol. There was very little information provided by the guide whi for 90% of the trip said nothing. The tour stopped in some very questionable areas, including the new medina markets which seemed to be a drug dealer and prostitution hotspot. The tour stopped of passengers at random areas with little information given as you'd expect from a guided tour.Additionally, the tour guide forces you into a restaurant for lunch, and then became extremely rude when decided to go elsewhere. I would advise anyone wanting a Marrakesh to Casablanca guided tour to avoid this one. Frankly cannot understand the rating it currently has.
Thank you for your honest feedback. We're truly sorry to hear about your disappointing experience. This is not the standard we strive for. We take your comments very seriously and will investigate internally. Please accept our apologies and know we will work to improve. 🙏
My husband and I were disappointed with this tour. It lacked engagement and interaction, and the guide spoke very little throughout the experience. When he did speak, it was mostly in French. There was very little explanation or historical context provided, so we didn’t feel we gained much insight into the places we saw. Overall, the guide seemed uninterested and unenthusiastic. I would not recommend this tour. Instead, I suggest choosing a guide who is local to Casablanca, knowledgeable about the area, and genuinely passionate about sharing its history and culture.
Very comprehensive and perfectly organized excursion
Merci beaucoup pour votre retour ! 😊 Nous sommes ravis d’apprendre que l’excursion vous a semblé très complète et parfaitement organisée. Au plaisir de vous accueillir à nouveau !
A splendid day spent among the streets and waterfront of Casablanca. Our guide, Khalid, was thorough and willing to answer any of our questions. However, I do not rate it 5 stars due to the lunch stop at a restaurant that was not typical and "mandatory," which was almost impossible to avoid since there were no alternatives in the area.
grazie mille per il vostro feedback e per aver condiviso la vostra esperienza. Siamo felici che la giornata tra i vicoli e il lungomare di Casablanca sia stata splendida e che la guida Khalid vi abbia colpito per preparazione, disponibilità ed attenzione ad ogni vostra domanda. Ci dispiace però per quanto riguarda la sosta pranzo: capiamo la vostra osservazione sulla scelta del ristorante e sul fatto che non fosse sufficientemente “tipico”. Prendiamo nota di questo punto per poter migliorare l’organizzazione e, quando possibile, proporre alternative più in linea con le aspettative dei nostri ospiti.
Jawad was our driver and guide who was helpful and friendly. My husband and I planned to leave the tour when we arrived Hassan II Mosque and checked in to the hotel next to the mosque. Jawas suggested us to finish the Casablanca tour and took us to our hotel before the tour left Casablanca back to Marrakesh. Thanks a million to his suggestion and we could have more sightseeing. Highly recommend this tour.
Nice tour with useful information about the country and Casablanca led by Rashid, well done 👍recommended on the strongest 👍
