Great tour! Mix-up fixed fast. Knowledgeable guide, but rushed stops and uneven organization.

We had a great time walking about Rabat with Ayoub! He was knowledgeable about the history of Rabat and tailored the tour to our interests. He also spent more time with us than expected. We would definitely recommend him again to anyone visiting Morocco!
Ayoub is a fantastic guide for a walking tour. He has extensive knowledge of the social, cultural and political history of Morocco and specifically Rabat. He gave a really interesting and thorough introduction to the city and country. A perfect way to start my trip to Morocco!
Good guide. Very knowledgeable. Answered all questions in an unrushed way. We wouldn’t have been able to appreciate Rabat properly without all the information he gave us.
Our tour guide was very knowledgeable. He provided great insight into the history and current environment of Rabat.
We booked and paid for a walking tour in Rabat. Spent extra money to get there on time only to have the guide not show up. Very disappointed in Viatour.
Asmma was very friendly and knowledgeable, this is a great way to see and learn about this history of Rabat!
The guide Badr is a lovely young man and Rabat native. He answered our questions and allowed time for shopping. He made frequent stops to make sure we were following and no one in the group was left behind. I had previously stayed in Rabat, but every place we visited was new to me. He truly gave an insider's view of the city.
We had a brilliant and informative walking tour of Rabat with Asmaa. She was extremely knowledgable and friendly, and brought us to a lot of very interesting places. I would highly recommend taking this tour on your first day visiting this interesting city! Thank you to Asmaa for giving us such a lovely tour!
Badr, our guide gave us an excellent tour of Rabat and was very informative about Moroccan history and culture. Thanks very much.
