We were short changed by this tour company. Khalil, picked us up on time at our hotel. He introduced himself as our guide. When in fact - he was just a driver. He took us to Kasbah and told us he will meet us in the car in 30 mins. He did not give any information about Kasbah, etc. He did the same thing in Mausoleum of Mohammad V and in Chellar. In other words- we had no tour guide at all. We had to rely on our own prior readings to appreciate the history of Rabat. When I told him that the last part of the tour is the old market, he said that all the stores are closed due to the fact that it is Friday and it is Ramadan. I told him to at least take us to the area where the old market is so at least we will see how it is from the outside. He told us that he already showed us where it is when he took us to Kasbah and that we have to turn around to see the market. I realized then that Khalil did not really have the compassion of a tour guide understanding how important it is for tourists to see places in Rabat to appreciate more the history of Morocco. Please do not book any tour with this company. You will waste your money and your time.

Jaleel was informative, knowledgeable, respectful and accommodating. He gave us an excellent tour, found us a superb seafood restaurant by the water and was careful driver. We recommend him for tour.
Rabat was a good visit. Khalil is a smart guide. He is cheerful and a caring person. I am really thankful to him for a fantastic experience.
We book a day trip with Easy Transfers to Morocco’s capital, Rabat. Our guide was Khaiil, he picked us up in a new and very clean van, which was very comfortable for my family and I. Khaiil did a great job showing us the city. He took us to a few historical sites, one was the Kabah of the Udayas, another was the Hassan Tower and Mausoleum of Mohammed, and the Challah, a medieval fortified Muslim necropolis of Rabat. Afterwards we were given an option on where we would like to go for lunch, and we picked a beautiful seaside restaurant, which I believe was called Marian Bay. Khaiil was a fun and dynamic guide. We would hire him again.
Our bus driver Cali was amazing and our tour Sila was above and beyond knowledgeable about the area. They allowed us ample time to explore and the places they took us were breath taking. Would recommend highly!
The drive from Casablanca to Rabat gave us an appreciation of the contrast between these two important cities and the landscape in between. Our driver was informative and answered all of our questions. He made several stops in Rabat which gave us a chance to experience the key parts of the city. Lunch at a restaurant on the beach was delicious and relaxing.
Guide was knowledgeable and a nice gentleman with lots of interesting facts about Moroccan history. Rabat is a lovely city for a nice day-trip from (somewhat underwhelming) Casablanca.
Rabat is the most beautiful city we have seen in Morocco in the three weeks we've been traveling this country. Both our driver Khalil and guide Sila deserve 10/10. We had no difficulty understanding them. We were well informed not only Rabat's history, but overall information about Morocco and it's traditions, culture and history. We felt the whole day unfolded at a pleasant pace. A bonus was that the vehicle was very comfortable.
This was an okay tour- I give 3 stars because the value is in the guides driving you to Rabat and bringing you to each spot. I’m used to guides taking you to a spot and really educating you and spending more that 10-15 minutes to take photos. While there is more driving around Rabat than actually walking/seeing the city, for the 3 hours we were there, they showed us enough of the city to make us want to go back. Book this tour if you’re very short on time. Otherwise, I’d go a different route so you can really explore the city!
You get a brief and superficial overview of the main sightseeing highlights in Rabat. The tour is ok . Transfer worked well
The boat ride was fantastic and visiting the mausoleum and the castle walls was very impressive. Our guide and driver were first class!
One of the best tours we have ever been on! Our guide Sila Azdine (Dino) - WOW. So energetic, knowledgeable and kind. He taught us so much & made sure we were happy at all times. He introduced us to locals , taught us some native words & allowed us to have the most incredible experience in Morocco. We would do this tour 10x again.
Great day trip to Rabat. Everything was great, tour leaders were friendly, on time and very knowledgeable. Would recommend this trip.
Had a great trip with Mehde and Silah. They were so accommodating and went above and beyond with the tour. 100% recommended!
Very Nice guide! Great experience! We knew lots of places and people and the restaurant we had lunch the Food was wonderfull.
Really nice and comfortable trip. The driver arrived on time and picked us up from our hotel. Tour guide joined us in Rabat and he was very knowledgeable. We learnt so much about the city. Only issue I had with the tour was it could have been longer. The exploring of medina could've been longer. Our driver was very kind and helpful. We wanted to be dropped at a different point and he promptly obliged. Rabat is a beautiful city, definitely worth your visit.
Lovely weather ranging from 26-29 degrees C in August, sunny days, sunset was at 8.30pm. We split our break between Casablanca and Rabat and hired a car to get around. Casablanca had nice beach walks, a beautiful palm tree garden, old souks as well as moderm malls. Rabat had a nice park, Mosolleum, Fort, Old Medina, souks and close to sea. For the teens there was a nice cinema and modern malls. We stayed in an Apart hotel In Casablanca and Conrad at Rabat. This was a relaxing break.
This was a very nice tour with a very knowledgeable guide and an excellent driver. The car was very comfortable and we saw many things we never could have experienced on our own. The guide took us "behind the scenes" in Rabat, through back streets that only a local could know, and it gave us so much more insight and understanding about the city and the culture. We went on a Tuesday and many of the sights on the tour turned out to be closed on Tuesdays so you may want to consider that in your planning. We still had a wonderful day and enjoyed this experience very much!
Great tour of the city, and a lot of gems within. Self guided, so you are able to do what you would like to do. Spectacular views and definitely check out the cafe within kasbah of the udayas.
The tour was fun and we had a lovely day for it, beautiful weather. The car was comfortable and a fast transfer to Rabat from Casablanca. The tour officially finished at 1pm then we were told that we'd be taken back to our hotels. By then we were starving as there had been no opportunities to eat since 8am. We asked the guide if we could go somewhere to get some food. He took us to a fantastic Moroccan restaurant with great food and in a beautiful building. After we went to Casablanca one couple wanted to do some shopping, our guide obliged again and took them to the Old Medina. Very friendly and helpful!! The price was a little different to Trip Advisor - I paid $175 in Singapore dollars which seems a lot more than the $80 advertised. Some currency mix up maybe. But all together a fun tour.
This was by far one of my favorite tours. The beauty of Rabat is unmatched. The architecture, the people and the culture was priceless. The beaches were breathtaking!
Achraf has been such a wonderful tour guide. He is very knowledgeable and we have learned a lot from him on the history and development of Rabat. A very gentleman indeed, opening and closing the car doors for us. He is also very presentable and very easy to talk to. Highly recommended for great experience as you explore the beautiful Morocco
The trip was a good one. Good for a day's trip. You get to see parts of the beautiful city of Rabat and also get a decent workout in. Not a treacherous hike at all. Decent amount of walking and observing, with some learning as Arafa our guide offered meaningful takes on the city's hallmarks. Pickups were arranged and in a comfortable airconditioned ride. I recommend for folks who have a day to tour Rabat.
Had a great day in Rabat. Our guide was flexible and worked hard to give us a tour that followed our interests of the history and culture of the city.
Local tour guide from Rabat was friendly and very knowledgeable. It was a fantastic couple of hours in Rabat. We only spent 2 to 2 and a half hours sightseeing so the tour was much shorter than advertised, as 6 hours. one of the locations we didn't visit at all because it was shut permanently there was another stop where we started but only saw from outside because no entry, also shut. Rabat is a beautiful city and wish we could of seen other places instead. worth the day trip from casablanca.
Driver could not speak English, so start of trip was a little concerning. However he contacted guide in Rabat and that seemed fine so off we went. Mohamed our guide in Rabat was excellent and our time there was informative and very enjoyable.
This ad is fully misleading!!! Absolute Rip off!! this is a 3 hour tour max! The tour began at 9AM as scheduled. we arrived at 10:30 at the first spot and got a brief history of the architecture and other aspects of the city. We moved to the next stop and paid 70 Dirham to enter the next site similarly interesting. LAstly we walked through the old city. that was it. It was one hour of touring the tour guide left us and we left back to Casablanca at 11:30. We could have waited around with our driver till an appropriate time for lunch but that didnt seem an option. he drove us back and due to a lack of traffic were back in our hotel at 12:00. This is super misleading as the tour advertises a full day trip or approx. 6 hours. Even including driving time this tour lasted 3 hours. I contacted costumer service and they had no response for me. They were extremely unhelpful and just feel like we were taken for granted.
I would totally recommend this tour. I went alone and I never felt unsafe. The driver waited for us (tour guide and I) at each location and even waited for me to eat lunch after the tour was over! The guide was not only beautiful, taking you to all the best sight-seeing worthy locations but he was very informative and knows his country's history! I'm so glad I went on this trip!
Great tour . Worth the money and time . Would definitely recommend the tour . Great places to see and enjoy
They provided us with a driver and a guide in Spanish. The guide gave all the explanations from the van; he did not accompany us to any of the places; we had to discover everything on our own using Google Maps. I thought that the guide is the one who leads the tourists and gives explanations on-site. He gave us 20 minutes at each site and then asked us to find where they were parked. They had about 2 hours left of the excursion. At 2 o'clock sharp, we were back in Casablanca again. I gave him 20 dirhams as a tip, and he complained that it was only 2 euros, what a shame. Excursions are like that; you may encounter people who are dedicated to their work and others who are not. If I had known, I would have booked the excursion in English; perhaps I would have had better luck.
It was excellent A great day to walk . . . . . . . . .. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
The driver and guide are very good SILA and MEDHI, until next time and may it not rain so much because we have not been able to enjoy the excursion or the monuments
Bonne expérience à voir mais un peus chere par apport au programme par contre le guide était sympa merci
Today transport with ashraf to flap it told us the story of flap and colonies landscape very nice pleasant weather a nice private car excursion water provided ashraf our driver very kind
Fatal. El guia tenía un vocabulario más basbás que el de un niño de 3 años y ninguna formación como guía turístico. Patético. Una vergüenza. Lamentablemente. No sé lo recomiendo a nadie. Es vergonzoso que se ofrezca una actividad tan aparentemente atractiva con personas no preparadas. Presentaremos reclamación al regresar a EdpEsp.
