Youssef was an excellent guide. I was a solo traveler — and thus it could have been awkward, but it was not! He made the whole afternoon smooth, educational, and fun. He was both energetic and chill. I felt safe, respected, and like my desires were taken into account. I would recommend!Really good afternoon in Casablanca

We took a Highlights and Hidden Gems of Casablanca tour with Abdallah. He was exceptionally well informed and so calm. He knew how to stay ahead of the crowds so we could experience the Hassan II Mosque in peace and quiet. We also walked all over they city but never felt rushed or hectic. We would jump at the opportunity to do another tour with him next time we are in the region! Thank you Abdallah!An Oasis of Calm

We had one day in Casablanca and we were lucky enough to have Abdallah as our Tour Guide. His English is impeccable, his knowledge is unquestionable, and he’s the loveliest person. We were five men looking to get a feel of the area. He was very flexible and cater to all our interests. There was no rush and picked us up from our hotel. If I was back in Casablanca again, I would definitely make sure I re book Abdallah as my guide. A fantastic tour and tour guide

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

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!

We had a lovely relaxed tour with Abdou - first we walked for about an hour to see the main sights, then after a coffee stop we took the car and explored the Corniche and some of the newer suburbs which make Casablanca such a thriving city We finished the tour at the Hassan 2 mosque Abdou is friendly and knowledgeable and tailors to what you want to see.

Had such a fantastic morning with Rad. We learned so much about Casablanca, not just about the history and sights we saw but also lots of fascinating detail about everyday life. He was very flexible about what we wanted to see and where we wanted to go. Many useful hints and tips for the rest of our stay here in Morocco. Rad is super knowledgeable and made us feel so safe and relaxed under his guidance. A really lovely person with a great sense of humor too!The best!

Our short trip to Casablanca was made memorable by Abdou who was prompt in his communications, very knowledgeable and engaging. We had a short window of time in Casablanca and Abdou made it easier by making the start close to our Hotel and covered pretty much everything of interest in this historical charming city. He even treated us to impromptu pastries and local tea as we walked through the old precincts. We were touched by his genuine interest in meeting with people from all over. In fact he believes it is his way of travelling the world without taking a flight! We will think of Abdou when we recall our time in Casablanca. Glimpse of Casablanca with Abdou!

We had a great time with Rad. We were a party of 7 ranging in age from 18 to 61, and we had a tour on the Sunday before Eid al-Adha when most of the city was shut down due to the holiday weekend. Our original guide had canceled at the last minute and we were able to get Rad. His tour was one of the highlights of our Morocco vacation. Rad is educated, well-spoken, accommodating and flexible. His tour was informative about history, culture and politics. He gave us a few restaurant recommendations that were spot on. We even stopped for tea to help our group recover due to walking too much before the tour. He even helped us to secure a driver to the train station on the day of the holiday when everyone was off. I wouldn't hesitate to book Rad again for a tour.Casablance Walking Tour

This is our first time visiting Morocco and we are doing so for our 10 year anniversary. Casablanca is interesting and beautiful city with hundreds of years of history. Abdallah took us on a walking tour of the city and taught us both the history and culture of this beautiful land. He took us shopping in Old Medina where you would easily get lost without the knowledge of a local guide. We visited Hassan II Mosque, with the second tallest Minaret in the world, where he took us inside for an up-close and personal tour of this ornate and amazing structure. Near the end of the walk we sat for some delicious local tea and he answered any and all questions we had about Morocco and Casablanca. This was simply an amazing first day of our trip and I would highly recommend Abdallah to future visitors. Andrew. Tampa, FL, USAA great morning with Abdallah!

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.

Abdallah was a great tour guide, he helped us make the most of our day in Casablanca! As a group of women traveling alone he made us feel very comfortable and gave great safety advice / tips. He also took into account what we did or did not want to see during the tour, and even helped us find coffee during Ramadan to fight off our jet lag. Great tour n Casablanca

We had a great experience with Abdou in our customized tour for half a day. We found him to be extremely flexible and concerned with meeting our specific our tour objectives. Communication between us was effortless. Due to my wife’s broken foot, we needed transportation between sites which he arranged. We highly recommend him and will contact him in the future if we go back to Casablanca and also recommend him to our friends.Informative and helpful guide

Don’t hesitate and book a tour with Abdou when you are in Casablanca. We had a wonderful morning walking true Casablanca. Abdou does have a lot of knowledge and is very friendly. For us it was perfect to walk because then you go to parts you maybe don’t go by yourself. Thats why we always when we travel try to book a tour with a local. You see and feel a city how it is for the locals. If you are looking for a cooking class Abdou his mom gives them! Thank you Abdou for your kind hart and a wonderful morning Lovely morning

An exceptional experience! Abdou met us conveniently and walked us to the Medina, Rick’s cafe, the Hassan II, the largest Mosque built overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. We then drove to Habous and delighted in the shops. Habous was amazing and Abdou seemed to know many people. We had Moroccan mint tea and traditional pastries in a quaint tea/coffee shop where we met his mother who offer’s Moroccan cooking classes! If only we had time! His knowledge was very insightful and relatable. He pointed out great photo opportunities. We felt like we were with a long lost cousin who took us in and treated us like family. He helped make our Casablanca vacation comfortable and memorable.Felt like we were with family

Youssef's food tour was exactly what I was looking for! I wanted to try a bunch of different Moroccan dishes that locals would eat in Casablanca and I wasn't disappointed. From fresh oysters at the fish market to snails on the street to a sampling of tagines (so many different parts of the cow!) to delicious Moroccan pastries with mint tea; and that's just scratching the surface! Booking the evening tour was truly the right choice because the vibes were different and the sun wasn't as hot. I appreciate Youssef's touring style and will 100% connect again the next time I'm in Casablanca for a city tour.Exactly what I needed

Youseff was fun, interesting, and informative! The four of us learned about the food, history, and culture of Morocco. We sampled items at a juice bar, patisserie, and fish market while strolling the streets of Casablanca. Our seafood meal: oysters on the half shell, sea bass, witchy fish, shrimp, and sole accompanied by Moroccan salad, Zaalouk (eggplant dip), and a Spicy Carrot Dip, with plenty of bread was scrumptious! We finished the tour relaxing and chatting together, with mint tea and the sweets from the patisserie at a gorgeous restaurant. Wonderful afternoon! Thank you, Youseff!Fun afternoon!

Abdou was a very nice friendly guide. He wanted to please us. He answered all our questions about Moroccan things, lifestyle etc. We toured both the Central Market and then the Medina. We tried differents foods. He walked us back to our hotel. He made sure we crossed streets safely. Because EUD had just finished he had checked things out before meeting us, to see what was open etc. Thoughtful Abdou
