Great Casablanca Experience - Aafif was our guide and he was excellent! Very personable and provided great insight into the sites we visited. Through the use of transport and walking we were able to see a wide variety of locations and sites. Highly recommend this trip and Aafif.

5 stars guide and tour - We (husband and I) made a great friend in Casablanca on our private tour! Abdel was professional, extremely knowledgeable, and gracious. His knowledge of the history of Casablanca was vast. We learned so much about the people and history of Casablanca. The tour and pace he presented was perfect for us. Not only did we see the mosques, churches, palaces, and markets but we also saw beautiful parks and how the locals live in the old and new city.
He also took time to show us the restaurant for our evening tour. He talked to the owner/manager of the restaurant for us and made sure we knew where to go and how to get back to our ship. Provided water and mint tea to go with our delicious sweets we bought on the tour. He also secured transportation between some of the sites.
Truly a 5 star tour and guide! You will not be disappointed.

Very good introduction to new environment and city and exercise after the long plans trip! - Good variety of activities and sites. Great time on Sunday morning before crowds got dense around noon. Good guide and drivers for some spots but mostly walking

Fabulous tour of Casablanca! - Our very experienced and thoughtful tour guide, Mohamed, gave us a walking and driving tour of various spots in Casablanca. He proudly shared with us Morocco's history, food, culture, and beliefs. We saw and learned so much! This tour has to be on your Casablanca to-do list!

Amazing private guide around Casablanca - My guide, Abdoul, was amazing. He catered the tour to my interests and had so much knowledge of the city and country that I was fascinated. I would even re-book this tour again next time I’m back just to get more information. Would recommend for anyone who visits Casablanca

Good Tour of Casablanca- Be aware of terrible lunch - We did the Urban Adventure Tour with local guide Mohammed. While he was personable and friendly we found him to be condescending at times, and after speaking extensively with other guides we’ve come to realise that information he told along the way had very little factual basis which made for a charming story but didn’t give us a full picture of Casablanca. I thoroughly enjoyed what I did see during the tour and I do feel it’s a worthwhile tour to do to gain a good bearing of the city. The main let down for us is Mohammed took us for a lunch and told it was authentic when really it was a friend of his restaurant aimed at tourists. The lunch was rather expensive for Morocco and was absolutely dismal, we were trapped into paying for a full set menu despite not being that hungry. Mohammed then demanded a tip for the driver and himself - which having done yours in the past is usual. We tipped him generously and he seemed displeased. This unpleasant ending to the trip just left a bad taste in my mouth.

Any other day but Sunday - In all honesty, I don’t believe this tour should be held on a Sunday. Everything was closed and there was not much to see besides stray cats. Did it leave a good impression of the city? Not really…it would probably had been better to go to the mosque which was not included in the tour.
