It was a nice day exploring two cities. Only thing I would like to put it out there is it is not a guided tour. The driver was giving the explanations of the place whenever he wants and there were many times when he was just dropping me in a place and telling me to call him when I am done visiting so that he will come and pick me up and now explanation about the place.
Our tour guide yuness was amazing! He picked us up on time and showed us all the sights in Casablanca. He helped us buy tickets to see Hassan 11 Mosque. That should be on everyone’s bucket list! Then we drove to Rabat where we picked up our guide Sarra that told us all about the history on what we saw. This tour accommodated a person that walks slow. We learned so much! Our favorite part was eating at a favorite place of the locals. Very delicious! Yuness went out of his way the entire day! I highly recommend this tour!
This tour went beyond expectations! Our driver/guide (youness…not sure how to spell) was very helpful and kind. He helped call the airport and airline for missing luggage. He stopped along the journey to get us a Coke. He took us to amazing places in both Casablanca and Rabat. He was sensitive to one person in our party with mobility issues. In Rabat we were guided by Sara who was very knowledgeable about all the sights we saw. My all time favorite part of the trip was the local restaurant our driver took us to eat. We experienced a true Moroccan meal. If I could, I would give this a ten out of ten. There is lots of walking involved but well worth it!
I was on casablanca for business, we needed a driver with us to accompany my clients and me every day, excellent premium service. On time and service really well. We had a very good driver Badr! Another big thank you for his welcome and help
Our group went to Rabat and Casablanca for 7 hours and we are very happy with our driver YOUNISS who drive us around the city and visit Shalla Castle and other places in Rabat and went to Hassan mosque, Medina, old town Casablanca and enjoy our lunch in Etoile Centrale. We are really enjoy our trip and looking forward to come again to Morocco in the future.

It’s wonderful to know that Youniss provided a great experience and showed you the highlights of Rabat and Casablanca, including Chellah, Hassan Mosque, the Medina, and the old town. We will gladly share your kind words with him. We truly appreciate your feedback and look forward to welcoming you back to Morocco again in the future.

Le transmitiremos su mensaje — seguro que estará muy contento. Esperamos poder acompañarles nuevamente en otra aventura. ¡Hasta pronto!”
Excellent guide Silah, does it with pleasure and explains very well, makes you feel love for the city and the country
Gracias por estas hermosas palabras❤️❤️❤️
We appreciated our driver and their vehicles so much that we reused their services for all our transfers between cities (Casablanca /Marrackech/Agadir ). We felt confident and appreciated the service and professionalism of Yassime!! Excellent value for money.
Merci beaucoup pour votre retour ! Nous sommes ravis que vous ayez apprécié nos services et que vous nous ayez fait confiance pour vos transferts entre Casablanca, Marrakech et Agadir. C’était un réel plaisir de vous accompagner. Votre satisfaction est notre priorité, et nous espérons vous revoir très bientôt !
Yassine provided excellent service throughout our tour of Casablanca and Rabat. He was on time, professional, and offered us just what we were looking for. Being a private tour, we were able to spend our time visiting the sites we were personally most interested in. Yassine was very helpful in minimizing our walking which was greatly appreciated due to mobility issues. Josef, the guide who joined us in Rabat, provided an exceptional experience as well, giving interesting details about each of the sites we visited. I highly recommend this tour!
Younes was a skilled driver and knowledgeable of both cities and their past. He was very flexible in adjusting the schedule to meet out pace and needs. He was fun to spend time with and answered questions easily. His fluency in 4 languages including English made him a great interface for the folks we came into contact with. We felt we not only visited special places but had a special experience with him as well. Of the two cities, Rabat deserves the major portion of time as there is much there for a visitor to experience and enjoy. Our lunch unusually spiced as Moroccans do and was savory and delicious. It was a good day.
Thank you 🙏🙏🙏
