Casablanca Tour: From The Hassan2 Mosque To The Royal Palaces

Should have been a 4 to 5 hour tour. Completed in 3hrs 15 mins. Very rushed and at least 3 places we should have visited we never got to see. Emailed tour provider about this. Very disappointed. Would not recommend. Never normally give 1 star to a business as its not good for there business. But they never had the courtesy to acknowledge or reply to my email. It was not viator it was the tour operator. I have nothing but praise for viator and use them all the time

Shore excursion from a cruise. Everything was great. Courteous. Professional. Good information and history of the area. The mosque was incredible. I would give a 5 star but didn’t need to be taken to a rug vendor at the end and pressured into buying a $1100 handmade rug. Albeit high quality we didn’t come to Morocco for a rug purchase. It would be better to include a bakery or eatery as part of the tour.

There were many things on the itinerary that were lacking. Firstly, I have to say the Hassan Mosque was wonderful and I was given time for this visit. The commentary by my guide however was sadly lacking right throughout the entire tour. I felt like I was being just driven around, without any enthusiasm or info provided by the guide - it was only when I asked questions to try and extract any info. Old Medina : he pointed it out and said it’s difficult to park so I thought I was going to miss out. I had to ask later if I could stop and spend time there ( as this was part of the itinerary). He did consent ( at end of tour) to take me back there. Ricks Cafe: I realise only now after speaking to other travellers that you need to make a booking to go inside. I wasn’t given any explanation from my guide only that I could have a quick photo outside the cafe. Royal Palace: I don’t even remember what it looked like. The guide drove past quickly and pointed to something in the distance but was very vague about where it was. So I certainly didn’t have the opportunity to see it from the outside nor stop nearby and walk to it. La Corniche: 30 mins was given to wander this promenade on the itinerary. I was given only 15 mins to stay at one point and not wander more than approx 50 metres. No time for a cafe stop either as per itinerary. Square Mohammed V: was given enough time here. Quartier Habous: I was given enough time here but was never pointed to or given knowledge of where the gardens of the Royal Palace were which is in the itinerary. I only realised it was nearby when I saw itinerary after the tour. Central markets: wasn’t taken there at all. I also didn’t realise I had missed out until I saw the itinerary later. The whole tour felt very rushed and the guide didn’t seem interested in being a guide, or being keen or providing knowledge and showing the sites in depth ( or at all). It was as if he was just trying to get it over and done with and just driving with very minor narrative. I made up for lack of time at some sites or skipped sites by staying a bit longer alone in the old Medina which I had asked to be taken back to as this looked like being skipped on the drive by. To add to the disappointment of the booked tour - before I arrived in Casablanca I was receiving constant texts and a few phone calls ( at the airport ) from the tour guide asking me to be collected at 8.30 am ( I had booked a 10.30 am tour via Viator which was confirmed). I wouldn’t even be arriving in Morroco to do this earlier time. He then was asking me to do a 2.30 pm tour which I declined as I had booked the 10.30 spot for a reason, to fit in with an afternoon meeting for a 2 week group tour of Morroco. I explained this in my messages. He then asked me to cancel my Viator tour. I replied that I had booked and paid for the 10.30 am time which had been confirmed. There was no reason given by him as to why he was trying to change my Viator tour but he eventually relented to my booking time when I said the issue should be taken up with Viator. If he had had difficulty with that booking time then there should have been a backup guide for that particular tour. To add to the negative experience, I received a message from the tour guide at 11.30 pm that night ( post tour) asking me for a review and saying sorry for contacting me late to ask this. I was woken up from my sleep. Needless to say I didn’t give my review when he wanted. I was very disappointed and saddened that I felt I had missed out on important sites and had an unprofessional experience. I spoke to other tourists later that had done other half day tours of Casablanca and they filled me in with so much detail and their good experience at these same sites and with their guide , reinforcing my feeling that I had not been fortunate to enjoy the same.

The tour guide iSofyan was amazing. He is knowledgable. His English is perfect. For English speaker Travellers I recommend to book with him. He is humorous, helpful. Even when we change a drop off location he goes out of his way to drop us to different location . I will definitely recommend him to family and friends who will visit Morrocco

An excellent tour around the main “things to see” in Casablanca. Mohammed our guide was excellent and highly knowledgeable. I would recommend this tour without hesitation. Thank you Mohammed - your punctuality and communication were excellent!

Awesome experience with Khalid and Hazram(driver). Khalid showed us all the highlights of Casablanca always ensuring we were happy and had sufficient time to take in everything. He was very informative and new Casablanca well. He took us to a Berber carpet store and an argan oil pharmacy to do some shopping for things we were interested in. Hazram was a very good and safe driver. A very good day and tour.

Picked up at the hotel in a very comfortable air conditioned Mercedes van by the driver Hazram (?) and our guide Arafa. The guide is very knowledgeable and explained his Berber origin. He took us for a little shopping in the souk. Water was provided

Our driver Mohammed was absolutely brilliant. He helped us sign in for the Mosque tour and after that he took us as all around Casablanca, including the historic old Medina with it's traditional markets. Mohammed was polite and had a lot of knowledge of Casablanca and he was easy to communicate with. I would strongly recommend him as a tour guide for Casablanca.

Our tour guide and the driver (Arafa and Zaid) were very friendly. They made our journey in Casablanca a memorable one. Thank you, Arafa and Zaid!

The places we’ve been to for a short visit went well with a taste of authentic Moroccan dish. Arafa, provided a lot of information around the place, and Ziad, our driver was very helpful and kind and treated us nicely.

Great tour with Said. He was very kind and knowledgeable. He took us all over the city and showed us many different areas.

We had an amazing driver. Sofyan was super polite, and enthusiastic. He was patient with us, as we drove around the city. He did a wonderful job explaining and answering all our questions.

Great tour, very organized. Our guide Arafal was very knowledgeable, funny, and speaks just about every language you need. He even accommodated special stops and requests along the way. Highly recommend!

Our guide was amazing! Our driver drive very safe and the van eas clean, with plenty of space and great working air conditioning too.

Ramouch Mohamed was amazing!! He was so polite and was willing to take us where we were interested in going. Very flexible and great to talk to. We learned so much about Casablanca that we never knew. Would highly recommend and ask for Ramouch Mohamed!!

Like the excursion, the city and the guide Walid! Was really nice layover, the car and everything. Recommend this tour.

This was a great tour! Mohamed was an excellent guide and he even took me to pick up some items that my mother wanted and took me to a great spot to have a traditional lunch! Communication was simple and he speaks excellent English. Highly recommend!

Firstly my flight was delayed and I was given a different hotel. My guide Montassir offered to drive me from the airport to the new hotel. He waited for me for 3 hours. I learned a lot about the culture, spent half a day there. Perfect for solo travelers, I felt safe the whole time. Beautiful photos, fun time and great drinks! Would definitely recommend!

Amazing hospitality, very personal and accommodating to your needs. Definitely recommend booking with them had a great time with them!

This tour was great. Walid picked us up right at our hotel. He is very knowledgeable about the history of Casablanca. The tour had everything. We saw many of the sites of Casablanca. We got to shop in the Medina, and the tour ended with a fun stop by a cool fountain. Walid even recommended a fabulous lunch at the end of the tour. I want to go on a Walid tour every time I’m in Casablanca.

We had a great day in Casablanca with our guide, Salah who was very knowledgeable and patient. He took us to all the major attractions. It was a private tour with just myself and my friend. We had a nice minibus, air con, water and tissues (it was hot). We had a great day! Would highly recommend.

It was a stress free way to see a lot of Casablanca in the short time we had. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to see the major sites without worrying about getting from place to place. Walid went out of his way to make sure we had fun

We visit many great places and even when there were places we wanted to go to that weren’t on the tour he still took us there. Our driver, Walid, was amazing and taught us many many things about morroco.

Walid was absolutely amazing! Great driver and gave us so much history. Picked up right at cruise terminal. We were lucky to have the private tour and he adjusted to what we wanted.

Our Moroccan tour with Mohammed was truly unforgettable! He was knowledgeable, kind, and incredibly passionate about his country.Mohammed made us feel safe, welcomed, and always engaged, sharing local insights we would’ve missed on our own.

Walid was genuine and gave both the formal histories as well as personal stories about his own experiences. He never rushed me at the different stops and gave plenty of recommendations for the rest of my time in Morocco

This was my first time booking with Youssef Mansouri, he was on time knowledgeable and very friendly. He was also great with communicating pick up times and was flexible with requests when guests asked.

I had an amazing tour in Casablanca with Youssef Mansouri as my guide! From the moment the tour started, everything was smooth and professional. The car was spotless, very comfortable, and clearly well-maintained — a great start to the day. Youssef is incredibly knowledgeable about the city’s history, culture, and hidden gems. He didn’t just take us from place to place — he shared stories, answered all our questions with patience, and made the whole experience feel personal and meaningful. His warm personality, attention to detail, and deep understanding of the city made this tour one of the highlights of my trip to Morocco. I highly recommend touring with Youssef Mansouri if you’re looking for a genuine and insightful Casablanca experience!

It was super, you should try it Forgot going your self , those people know their jobs very well, they will show you everything, it was un incredible experience

Good experience, we visit Hassan the second mosque, habous neighbourhood, downtown, architectural buildings, the church and the synagogue and the park

Thank you Walid for bringing us around the city of Casablanca, giving us a nice impression of the history of the town. Shukran!

I had an amazing tour guide (Montasir Elbadri) he took me around Casablanca, and explained everything very clearly. To enjoy the day, leave the hotel early to avoid the crowds

Nabil is a very kind and easygoing guide. He is caring and empowering. He take me to the interesting places and explains the history and culture very clearly.

We had the best tour ever with Salah we payed just half day but he gave us all the time we didn’t feel rush Salah and his company I’m sure are the best in Casablanca we love you Salah

Amazing half day tour to get a glance of beautiful city of Casablanca. My tour guide is super friendly and accommodate to my schedule. Definitely recommend him to anyone

Took a tour around Morocco with our guide Walid he was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable and made sure we got to do everything we wished to. Inexpensive tour with an

Walid was an excellent tour guide! Reasonably priced, very upbeat, knowledgeable, and answered all our questions. We saw everything on the tour and he even made a couple of special stops for things we each wanted to see and do. He recommended a great restaurant, too. If we ever book again we will specifically request Walid!

Amazing tour with Mohammed! Excellent service (and my wife and I rely on mobility scooters). Delicious food, amazing views,kind and accommodating people and unbelievable sites. If you are visiting Casablanca or Rabat, Mohammed is your man! Bravo.

It was a very good tour being able to see the city of Casablanca and the beauty of it. Our tour guide did a very good job explaining everything and was very flexible with time too. Overall, I I highly recommend if you want to see the awesome city of Casablanca and fully experience it!

Our tour guide was informative and so much fun!! We can’t wait to return to Morocco!!!! when we do, we will absolutely request Walid.

Fantastic guide, I highly recommend! our driver went above and beyond what we expected. we saw so many sites! We would absolutely take the store again.

We can only recommend this tour of Casablanca. We were picked up at our hotel on time, and our guide Montassir gave us a great tour with lots of fun little stories about the things we saw. He even went out of his way to show a soccer crazy costumer some very nice murals of Moroccan soccerstars on the wall of apartment buildings close to Hassan II. Keep up the good work Montassir, thank you !

Had a great tour of the highlights of Casablanca with a friendly and very knowledgeable driver. Best way to see Casablanca if you don’t have much time. Highly recommended

Our tour guide, Montassir, was absolutely amazing. He made our entire experience a wonderful one. I would definitely recommend him.

Salah was prompt and very helpful... the tour ended up having only two of us - me and another solo traveler - so the tour progressed at our pace. I very much enjoyed this highlight tour of the city!

Waled was a fantastic tour guide. We had so much fun listening to his stories both historic & personal. We received concierge-level treatment everywhere we went. We highly recommend this tour.

Walid was our guide and he was spectacular! He was kind, knowledgeable and very generous with his careful attention. He knew all the ins and outs of getting around and connected us with all the best people at the best places in Casablanca. It was the best first day we could hope for. We miss Walid already!

Mohammed was literally amazing! He was very accommodating, knowledgeable, punctual, took all of my photos and made sure I was always safe. He was very patient and kind to me. He went out of his way to show me a good time! Please book this tour with Mohammed! Mohammed's boss, he deserves a promotion. :)

Walid was an excellent tour guide. He ensured that we started our day with the spot on the top of our list so that we would have time to enjoy it - the Hassan II mosque was beautiful inside and out, and not to be missed! We also learned so much about the history of Morocco and Casablanca as we drove to several other areas and sights (a market, square, an argan oil shop, among other things!) He was very perceptive and responsive to our interests as we toured around and stopped at things we seemed curious about. He planned for a stop that our toddler loved. He also made sure we got to enjoy a fantastic traditional meal. I would highly recommend this tour for a stopover, especially if you are interested in getting an overview of the area and learning along the way. 10/10!!
