Hassan Tower is an iconic historical monument in Rabat, originally intended to be the tallest minaret in the world.

It is very worth the tour, our guide Hassan above all was a great driver and photographer, the tuktuk is great for those who are already a little tired and still do not want to miss to know the best of the city. The ruins in the middle of the city are fantastic! Walking in the medina of tuktuk has no price hehe! I recommend!

Was a great way to see the city in a short time, our buke driver was great telling us about the different sites in Rabat and gave us enough time at the main attraction to get off and time to walk around to see them. Also great way if you have children with you, two grown ups and a child fits well in each bike. Overall fantastic tour.
We had little time in Rabat and this visit was perfect to see the main points of interest. In addition, the green taxi is a nice way to get around summer to visit the city. Our guide Hassan was very kind and gave us all the time to visit the sites well. I recommend!
Very nice overview tour of Rabat
This tour is a trap. On the Viator App, it is clearly written pickup point is at Hotel Borj Rabat. However they did not show up to pick me up and not respond to my message.
Very good visit Our guide Hassan was very friendly and very helpful I recommend
In the back of the Tuk Tuk you will be driven past various sights. There is ample time to see different locations at your own pace. Along the way, our guide Hassan talks about the city and culture, recommended!
