Very good tour. Excellent driver and guide.Excelent: easy and friendly
Youssef is a very nice person, flexible and enthusiast, seems to know 50 % of the casablanca population, loves his city and brought his enthusiasm over to us. He introduced us in the city, his history and the most remarkable places and buildings. A real experience we shall not easily forget and for sure we are going to come back to Morocco after this first visit. Thank you Youssef . Walking with a local who loves his city
I had such a thoroughly enjoyable experience in Casablanca with Youssef. I was in town for only one day and had the afternoon set aside for this food tour. I sampled great local foods: breads, tagine, pastries, seafood, teas, juices. In between we wandered through the central market where I was able to buy local products like spices, oils, sardines. Also learned to haggle with merchants for other non food items. Youssef was warm, friendly with a great sense of humor. When walking around, always looked out for my well being. I dislike the term foodie but this is a great tour for people who like to eat and try new things. By the end, Youssef felt like family. I recommend it highly for an excellent insider's experience.Awesome Casablanca experience with Youssef
We had the special circumstance that we went into a walking tour with a family of 1,5 and 4 year old sons. Tarik took us to the major places, but also to great „child experiences“ and when the children were tired he organized tram tickets and later a taxi. Wonderul experience - also with family
Youssef was a fantastic tour guide. He was very friendly, knowledgeable and flexible. The walking tour was a bit more walking than we expected but Youssef adjusted to our needs readily. We had a great time and would definitely recommend him and the tour!Wonderful tour
Youssef was an amazing guide for our day in Casablanca!! He was flexible with our meeting spot and took us on the most enjoyable day! We walked for miles and hopped in and out of taxis. He has such a great sense of humour and is very knowledgeable on all things history and culture. We had such a great time with him as he took us to out of the way spots for tea and then for lunch. I can’t imagine a better day!!Amazing day in Casablanca!
I sought a local guide when my wanderings failed to satisfy my curiously about Casablanca. Youseff totally saved my trip by taking me directly to interesting areas of town and sharing the relevant history. I thoroughly enjoyed my time with him and enthusiastically encourage others to book him for a tour.Great first experience with Withlocals
Tariq met us at our hotel and took us (4 adults) through the Medina, Tariq explained some of the history of the buildings, how and where people live, go to school and work. We loved seeing the kids being greeted by their parents at lunch time. The area was so full of life. We stopped periodically to sample traditional mint tea and flat bread breakfast, prickly pears, sweets, olives and nuts at a local stands before finishing with the most amazing lunch. We also had so many bags of food to enjoy and share for the evening and next day as Tariq had purchased these on our behalf. Food tour theough the Medina
Our first experience of Casablanca was not very pleasant, we were ripped off by an aggressive taxi driver, but meeting Youssef soon brightened our day, a lovely man and a great guide, he took us on a myriad of hidden gems that Casablanca has to offer, he is very knowledgeable and his English is exemplary
We had a fabulous day with Youssef, walked for miles and really enjoyed his company
I would highly recommend Youssef as your guide when visiting Casablanca.Play it again Youssef
With our cruise ship changing the arrival times so often, Tarik was very accommodating. Even though my wife & I had been to Rabat before, we saw so much more. Nice Moroccan lunch with Moroccan tea and flatbread with cheese & honey (very filling). I would highly recommend Tarik for any trips he offers. Wonderful day in Rabat
It was nice to spend time with Tarik in Casablanca. He’s really knowledgeable about architecture and the history of Morocco. Food was good, the flavors were there and we tried things we wouldn’t order necessarily.Nice walk in Casablanca!
Youssef did an excellent job taking us to off the beaten path places to try foods and learn about the Moroccan culture and people. We did a morning tour and tried the local form of a donut called svinge. Had lovely pastries, a wheat soup (like porridge), breads and, of course, Moroccan tea.
Youssef is charming, full of energy, knowledge and deep love for his country.
He adjusted the schedule to our desires and expertly led us thru the busy streets of Casablanca. Highly recommend him!!
Excellent tour with Youssef
We can’t say enough about our time with Youssef - we were fortunate to have the 10 Tasting Tour with Youssef on our first day in Morocco…talk about starting it off right! Youssef met our group of 4 and took us on an adventure we could have never navigated on our own! His knowledge provided such incredible and interesting insights into Casablanca - the found was incredible and too abundant! Arrive very hungry. He is funny, engaging and so very knowledgeable. We had a great day, and I can’t recommend taking a tour with him enough! If you don’t spend time with Youssef while in Casablanca you’re missing out. Unforgettable Tasting Tour with Youssef
Youssef was an amazing guide and host for our tastings tour. In spite of the fact that it was Eid al Fitr at the time and many things were closed, and that there were several food allergies in our group, we had an amazing tour trying foods and drinks all over Casablanca. Excellent English, very prompt and professional, and with great attention to detail, Youssef was incredible. Highly recommend. Highest Praise Possible
the highlights tour was thorough, creative and very enjoyable for someone who has never been to Casablanca before. would recommend to anyone! thank you!very fun and enlightening tour!
Youseff gave us a great day. He had plenty of great ideas already in mind and listened to our requests and things we wanted to try to create just a perfect day.Perfect little food tour
My tour was with Nassera, as Youssef had a family emergency on my tour day. I had a great time with Nassera; we explored fresh seafood markets, sampled juice and sweets, and had a nice lunch with different types of tagines before sampling an array of Moroccan sweets. Additionally, as we walked along and saw a number of landmarks and sites in Casablanca, we had wonderful conversations about Moroccan life and culture. Plus as a bonus, we happened across a traditional Moroccan wedding procession! In sum, Nassera was a wonderful tour guide.A Wonderful, Comprehensive Tour
The afternoon food tour and city sights tour with Youssef was just wonderful! Hanging out with Youssef was like meeting up with an old friend. We met in the art deco area of the city at Cinema Rialto, and he took us to the Central Marketplace for fresh raw oysters and clams then a lunch of chicken and sardine cakes tagine with sides of Moroccan salad, lentils, beans, shrimp with eggs, and fresh bread. We also wanted to see off the beaten path places so Youssef took us to Mohammed V Square and a local bakery (Crousti Pain) for fresh cookies, and we used Petit Taxis to get to the Royal Palace and Habbous neighborhood which was our favorite for seeing quiet residential areas, unique shops in the new Medina area, and enjoying our cookies with mint tea at a cafe. Youssef also took us for a quick walk thru the old Medina to stop in a shop or two before walking us back to our hotel. The day was so wonderful and conversation so enriching; I highly recommend joining Youssef for a tour in Casablanca.10 Tastings: Casablanca with Youssef
Fantastic way to eat the local cuisine, see sites and learn some history about Casablanca. Youssef is a very knowledgeable, genuine and hospitable guide. He always makes sure you are comfortable and flexible with what to see/eat during the tour. By the end tour Youssef was a friend and not just a tour guide. Highly recommended doing this food tour in Casablanca and having Youssef as a guide.Food tour with friends
We had a great time with Youssef! We ate all kinds of foods and he showed us all the sights of Casablanca. It was a great way te see the city. Definitely recommendedBest way to enjoy the city!
We spent a morning with Tarik in Casablanca, having communicated that we were interested in history and architecture. Tarik did a wonderful job of tailoring the tour to our interests and was able to point out countless small details - from unique tiling to ornate drainpipes! There was no chance we would have noticed these details by ourselves, let alone understood their significant and rich history.
Tarik was warm and kind and was very willing to answer our questions. He had a particularly deep knowledge of historical events and we gladly used this knowledge to explore tangents related to international relations and the development of Morocco through the ages. We were grateful to soak up this information, in addition to the history and architecture of Casablanca.
Casablanca is often referenced as one of the least touristic cities in Morocco from a historical / cultural perspective. We were thus very impressed with Tarik's ability to ensure interest, engagement and his storytelling!Remarkable knowledge
We had the most amazing day in Casablanca with Youssef. This was our first day in Morocco and Youssef was happy to answer all of our questions about the country, the city and the culture. He is very knowledgeable about Casablanca and took us to places we would never have found on our own. We lined up for pastries with the locals at a bakery in the Habbous area, we shopped in the Old Medina, walked by the Hassan II Mosque near the coast and even bought fresh camel meat from a butcher and took it to a restaurant where it was grilled to perfection for us, thanks to Youssef. He explained history, religion, and family traditions and showed us a community oven, still in use by the families in the area. It was an unforgettable tour where we got to experience an authentic side of Casablanca that only a local could share.Terrific Day in Casablanca
We ended up having 2 tours with Tarik as another company we had booked for our 2nd day in Casablanca cancelled. On the 1st day we were 3 & on the 2nd, a group of 6. Tarik managed to change things up so those of us on day 1, had a great time on the 2nd day as well. He was a wonderful guide, incredibly accommodating as we had to ask for certain changes. Tarik is very charismatic, knowledgeable and patiently answered any questions we had. We enjoyed our time with him immensely and would not hesitate to recommend him.
He went far beyond what we expected. To illustrate, one of our group's sandal broke and even though the tour was over, Tarik took the sandal, waited while it was repaired & brought it back to our hotel.
Thank you Tarik.A great time with Tarik.
My husband and I had a wonderful day with Tarik as we toured Casablanca by bicycle. He was interesting and accommodating and we were able to see many places. A great day out.
Youssef arrived our hotel on-time (despite Ramadan) and gave us a summary what to expect during the tour. Right from the start, Youssef was professional and knew the history of Casablanca in detail. Three hours went by fast and the greatest and most unforgettable part was experiencing Iftar with Youssef’s family. Immediately, my wife and I felt like family and the food was authentic Moroccan family feast! That was our Casablanca highlight! Thank you Youssef and Family! Finding new friends in Casablanca
Tarik gave a fantastic tour and went above and beyond what I expected. He is easy to talk to, kind, and genuinely passionate about his country. This really was a wonderful experience. It was like hanging out with a friend
First of all I woukd like to say that I was very greatful that Tarik accomadated us at the last minute for a Food and City Tour. Tarik was passionate, enthusiastic and knowledgeable. We felt safe and throughly enjoyed the food, sights, sounds and company. The food tour was enjoyable. Listening to Tarik talk to us about about the history was priceless. If only we could take him with us the next 12 days! YES...Don't wait any longer. Book now!
Thank you Tarik for the memories.Gentlemen and a scholar
Tarik was a great guide, extremely friendly, attentive and knowledgeable beyond belief! Sharing the history and beauty of Casablanca, and then sharing the local food and culture.
Worth doing for all the unexpected!!Exploring smells, flavours and foods….
Tarik was the perfect choice for our afternoon in Casablanca. He was very flexible in accommodating a change in meeting place and was very punctual. His knowledge of the local history is excellent, so much to take in. Touring the seafood market was unforgettable, we had the most delicious oysters, freshly shucked. A full sit down tagine lunch was amazing and entertaining- and the food kept on coming! We hope to return to Morocco some day and we will definitely employ Tarik to accompany us.Above and beyond!
Tarik was an excellent guide. My family learned a lot and had a great morning exploring Casablanca. Would highly recommend. Fantastic tour
Tarik was an amazing guide. He is very knowledgable about the history of Morocco. We enjoyed many sites you would not normally see on your own. We enjoyed an amazing local lunch with much food. He spoke very good English. I was happy to also enjoy Moroccan tea. I would highly recommend anyone spending the day in Morocco to take this tour. We had a bit of difficulty finding the meet up place but was assisted by many kind local's. Debbie and Ed. Morocco coty tour
Tarik was an informative and friendly host who adapted to our needs. He took us to local venues we would not have found by ourselves and informed of wider political themes.Tour of Cassablanca
