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

ABDALLAH is an amazing person. My schedule was very tight and I only had one day to touch the key attractions in Casablanca and Rabat. ABDALLAH worked hard to make my trip rewarding and enjoyable. We were able to visit key sights and had a wonderful lunch in Medina in Rabat. We also enjoyed street food as pleased. All the while getting educated about local customs, cuisine and culture. I recommend him 200% percent and would get his services again. Excellent, courteous and professional

We had a very interesting food tour with Abdullah. He was very knowledgeable about all things Casablanca and Morocco history and shared his knowledge generously. I would recommend asking at the beginning of the food tour what the different foods are so that you can try everything, eg raw sea urchins and raw oysters were offered to us but there were no cooked seafood alternatives which we would have loved to eat (and the main reason for us doing the food tour was to enjoy local seafood of Casablanca freshly cooked). Also we asked for a recommendation of a place to buy rugs (I know, what were we thinking) and we were taken to a place which was very high pressure on the sales front and it meant we didn't get to finish the food tour. That was our fault in asking for a recommendation but we didn't expect to be taken to the rug place during the tour, we would have preferred to return to it later ourselves or end the food tour at the rug place. We really appreciated Abdullah giving us lots of advice on other attractions and best times to visit those too even though they were not part of our food tour. Patient guide with lots of knowledge

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

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 walking and food tour with Abdallah was very fun. He was flexible with our meeting and time and place, and took us to a food stand, tagine lunch, and through the fish market for oysters. We got a lot of steps in on this tour, walking all through the city, small Medina and the mosque. When we mentioned we were interested in rugs, he took us to an amazing rug shop as a fun pit stop on our tour. Abdallah was nice and knowledgeable, but I wish he had offered more information about the city instead of waiting for us to ask. We had a fun day that was catered to our interests, but this was the most expensive tour we did in Morocco.Food and walking tour with Abdallah

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!!

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
