Great experience - Very informative and stunning mosque. No wait time to enter and our guide was friendly and knowledgeable. Would highly recommend that you arrive 30min early to get a chance to walk around the exterior and take pics

A Day with Samir, the best Guide! - My guide Samir gave me the best day of my trip to Morocco. Everything he did for me was excellent. He made Casablanca special. I never expected the tour to be so amazing. His personality and knowledge were the key for making it the BEST tour I've ever had. I loved the gardens most of all! You have a beautiful city! I will come back and do this again with friends! Samir made the difference!!

Great value for an introduction to Casablanca - I was picked up exactly at the arranged time in a spotlessly clean car by Wahid from Premium Transfers and Tors N4Y. The itinerary was as planned other than not being able to enter Rick’s cafe as it was closed however I was taken to Sqala close by which was just delightful, great decor, good menu. If breakfast is not included with your accommodation it would be worth the wait and if possible have it there. The mosque is most definitely worth a visit. Wahid stopped at locations of interest which were not include a stop long enough for me to take photos. All in all a great introduction to Casablanca.

Great day touring Casablanca! - We had a wonderful day with our tour guide Azedine, he took us every where we wanted to go, was very courteous & helpful. He drove really well. We felt very safe in his hands. As an added bonus for me, he spoke fluent Italian so I got to practice my Italian too! Well done! Thank you, Merci, Shokran!
