Itinerary
One of the largest mosques in the world, built over the Atlantic Ocean. Stop for photos and optionally visit inside.
Breath fresh sea breezes and enjoy a stroll along the boardwalk with the view of the Hassan II mosque jutting out into the Atlantic Ocean from this vantage point. With its scenic promenade bordering the western seafront of Casablanca and a set of high-end hotels and beach resorts lined up, the Ain Diab Corniche is one of the city’s most fashionable districts. But the real pull comes after sunset, when the nightclubs and the lounges along the boardwalk all open and the coast becomes a central hub of Casablanca’s nightlife.
Walk through this charming district with traditional architecture, bookshops, and artisan boutiques.
Enjoy a guided walking tour through Bab Marrakech, one of the oldest and most authentic areas of Casablanca. Your guide will share stories about the city’s early inhabitants and the history of this traditional marketplace. During the walk, you will stop at the historic restaurant Dar El Kaid, located in the heart of the medina. From its rooftop, you can admire panoramic views over Casablanca’s old quarters. Travelers also have the option to enjoy a traditional Moroccan lunch here (lunch not included in the tour price).
See Casablanca’s iconic administrative buildings and French colonial architecture.
If you would like to go somewhere beyond tourists trap, then look no further than Central Market (Marché Central The Central Market Downtown is the perfect place for a tourist to get a taste of what's the local culture like. Jammed with locals, the market is also a paradise for bargain hunters, pick up anything from vintage collectibles, handicrafts, carpets, ceramic tiles to food!

Punctual and polite. Knowledgeable tour guide, safe and friendly driver. Highly recommend. Very considerate of my limitations.
We had a private tour for our group of four. We also wanted to customize the itinerary, and emailed Jony travel directly. They were most accommodating, tweaking the amount of time spent at some of places and adding a few additional. Our time with our guide was exceptional, his broad swath of knowledge helped us better understand both the history of Morocco and Casablanca itself. Our tour was just over 3.5hrs which passed by much too quickly.
Due to a cargo ship mishap the port closed and therefore we could not take this tour and are requesting a refund.
Excellent personal experience with a variety of locations and informations from a very friendly and helpful guide
This tour was seamless from pick up to drop off at the cruise port--it was a great way to see Casablanca, especially the magnificent mosque!!! We love Morocco and it was lovely to drink mint tea with a new friend!
My tour guide didn’t speak English and had no idea what to do or where to take me. It was a long, boring experience
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are sorry to hear that your experience did not fully meet your expectations. We would like to reassure you that we usually provide English- or French-speaking guides, and our guides are carefully selected, licensed, and experienced, with strong knowledge of the itineraries and destinations. That said, we understand that every experience can feel different from a guest’s perspective. To better understand what happened and address your concerns properly, we would truly appreciate it if you could reach out to us directly with a few more details about your tour. This will allow us to review the situation carefully and take any necessary action. Thank you again for your feedback. We value your comments and look forward to hearing from you. Kind regards,
The guide brought me to the tour of the grand mosque 15 minutes late. The next tour was 4 hours later. Needless to say I was’nt able to tour the mosque.
Very good, our guide Dohair (not sure of his name) Gave very good explanations of things of the itinerary and answered our requests and questions
We had a wonderful day in Casablanca. It far exceeded our expectations! Our guide, Zouhair, spoke excellent English and he gave us a variety of experiences. Highly recommend!
We missed an important message from our tour company about a change in time. We went to the meeting place at the original time we had been told and couldn't find them. Eventually we made contact and they arranged a later tour for us at a higher cost. The tour leader was pleasant but the tour uninspiring.
Hello Janice! Thank you very much your review and for taking the time to share your experience. We are genuinely sorry that the tour did not unfold as smoothly as expected. Before the tour, our team tried several times to reach you through Viator messages, phone, and WhatsApp to recommend an earlier departure at 10:00 AM so you could join a small group and enjoy a better-paced visit. At that time, our driver waited until 10:30 AM but had to depart to avoid delaying the other travelers. We then arranged a second pickup at your original booking time of 11:00 AM. Our driver was waiting in front of the shuttle for more than 40 minutes, clearly holding a sign with your name. When you finally made contact with us by phone, you mentioned that local taxis approached you and pulled you away, preventing you from seeing the driver, which unfortunately caused the missed connection. This situation could likely have been avoided if WhatsApp had been active on your end, as our driver attempted to reach you several times in real time to coordinate the pickup! Once we understood the situation after you reach out to us, our priority was to ensure you still enjoyed your day in Casablanca rather than spending the day on the ship without an experience. We arranged another tour for you at 1:00 PM with a private vehicle, with only a small supplementary charge. We sincerely regret that the experience did not fully meet your expectations. Your feedback is valuable, and we truly hope to have the chance to welcome you again for a smoother and more enjoyable visit. Warm regards,
We joined a private tour at Casablanca. Zouhair picked us up the United Nations Square where all free shuttles drop off location. He introduced us the new and old Casablanca and the most famous Hassan II Mosque. We even had free time to enjoy local Morrocan food. Our last stop was at the local Souk Bab Rkha where we saw many local stuff. Great and professional tour. Highly recommend.
Our driver/ tour guide was extremely polite and informative. We feel like we have a very good sense of life in Casablanca!
Our tour guide Zouhair was excellent and personable. He waited for us as our shuttle from the cruise ship was delayed. The tour was very relaxed and informative. He showed us the highlights of Casablanca and ww really enjoyed walking through the Old City. We would highly recommend him.
We joined a private tour shore excursion at Casablanca. Zuhair picked us up at the United Square with warm welcome. He took us thru the old and new towns in Casablanca including the Rick's Cafe. He also led us to a local Moroccan restaurant to try some food. Then he took us to a souk at the old town shopping. A leisure day, highly recommend.
Had a wonderful day out and about Casablanca. Makes all the difference when a local person is showing you around, find all the hidden gems as well. Would highly recommend Yassine as a guide. Can’t fault the day. Thankyou.
Our cruise was in Casablanca for one day and I would highly recommend this tour. Zouhair was excellent. He reached out ahead of the tour to lets us know exactly where to meet, he was very knowledgeable, never rushed us through the sights and a pleasure to have as a guide.
We were delighted with the city, beautiful, modern, large, clean and full of life. We were lucky to have the best guide, Zouhair, top10! Great acquaintance and passionate about the city, took us by historic paths and marked tradicçào, let's go back and follow with Zouhair through other paradises of Morocco! Congratulations to the King, with our admiration for the great work he has done for his country, a place where we feel very safe. Long live Morocco!

My father, husband and myself decided on the day of arrival to Casablanca to join a 6 hour layover tour. Mohcine made it to the airport as soon as he could. Gave us an in depth tour of the must visit places in the city from a tour at the mosque, shopping at old Medina, drinks at Rick’s cafe, traditional lunch at a local restaurant and we had great discussions while driving. It was a wonderful experience and thank you for the wonderful service
Amazing service! On time and so helpful! He communicated the location with me before my travel and made it So easy for me to find. Picked me up from the Menara airport. Absolutely recommend Najib!
Zouhair was waiting for us as we left the airport, was super friendly, was willing to adjust our activities, and was knowledgeable and kind!
