Getting to know Casablanca - This tour gave a great overview of many of the historical aspects and main tourist areas of Casablanca. Our guide Mohammed was excellent in educating us on many historical and cultural ways of the Moroccan people.. the various sites he showed us, including the biscuit shop and tea house, and then he recommended a wonderful place for lunch.
Highly recommended tour for getting to know Casablanca

Terrific walking tour in Casablanca - We had the most wonderful experience with Aafif. He went above and beyond for us. From greeting us when we first arrived and until we parted at the end of the tour. Aafif was informative and clearly has a passion for his city. We would highly recommend this tour ask for Aafif you will not be disappointed.

Highly recommend - Aafif was awesome! - Aafif, our tour guide was fantastic. He made us feel very comfortable walking all over Morocco and he went above and beyond. We enjoyed the two Medinas in particular trying a Pastilla. And I let him know what I was hoping to buy whist in Morocco and he made recommendations and took us to the shops even though the tour was over.

The best tour guide ever - If you’re ever in Casablanca and looking for an amazing tour guide, look no further than Muhammad ! From the moment we met, he went above and beyond to make our experience truly unforgettable. Not only was he incredibly knowledgeable about Casablanca’s history, culture, and hidden gems, but he also made sure every moment of our tour was tailored to our interests.
He took us to places we would never have found on our own and shared fascinating stories that brought the city to life. Whether it was navigating the bustling markets, showing us the best local eateries and hammams, or helping us capture the perfect photos, his dedication and passion shone through.
What really stood out was his genuine kindness and effort to ensure we felt comfortable and cared for the entire time. It’s rare to meet someone so committed to creating a meaningful experience. Thank you, Muhammad , for going the extra mile—you made our trip to Casablanca truly special!
If you’re planning a visit, I can’t recommend him enough.

Exceptional Casablanca tour with Hicham Bennis - Morocco was on my must see list. I booked a private tour with Urban Adventures by Intrepid. I arrived an hour earlier than expected and Hicham came and greeted me right away. He was very professional and yet was like a friend taking us around. I had a remarkable day. If you are a photographer, you will appreciate his eye for getting the right angle. He stopped multiple times for us to take photos, and even took some photos for us. A highlight was picking out pastries and cookies and then going to a cafe to drink mint tea and eat our treasures. It was so good to learn the history of the city and architecture. We learned so much, and the time went quickly. I wholeheartedly recommend Urban Adventures Morocco. If you are doing a private tour, ask for Hicham. You will be so glad you did!

Just do it! - This was an excellent tour. Afiff explained a lot of history about the culture, politics, religion, how people live— everything you’d want to know when visiting a different country. We were driven to different areas and felt like we saw a lot of Casablanca. Afiff went above and beyond providing some of our tour group transportation back to our hotels and a couple of us to the airport to pick up previously lost luggage and back to our hotel. He answered all our questions. We visited both the old and new Medina, a bakery, pastry shop, cafe where we enjoyed mint tea, the Hassan mosque from the ocean view, both residential and commercial areas— I think we saw all the major areas of Casablanca. Well worth the cost. There were 3 in our party and we all highly recommend this tour with Afiff.
