On our final day in Morocco, we had the absolute pleasure of touring Casablanca with Abdul, and it was the perfect way to end our trip. Abdul was kind, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable about the history and culture of the city. He brought each stop to life with fascinating stories and insights that made us appreciate Casablanca even more.We visited the breathtaking Hassan II Mosque, explored the charming Habous Souq (New Town Market), and discovered several other landmarks that gave us a deeper sense of the city’s spirit.

The transportation, driver and tour guide were wonderful.Posted on Ganesh V01/02/2026Verified Long but memorable day The drive was really long - 5 hours each way - but was really worth it. We got picked up on time by Yousef and had a very comfortable ride in a nice big air conditioned van. On reaching Chefchaouen our tour guide Hesham took over. He was a local resident and knew every nook and corner of the town. He explained the history of the town and took us to some unique spots which only a local could have known about. There were no other tourists in some of these places and we clicked some great pictures. Fortunately the weather was lovely and picture perfect. After a late lunch at a nice local restaurant in the central town square we headed back to Casablanca with some lovely memories and pictures of this beautiful town.Posted on Amanda A25/01/2026Verified We highly recommend this day trip. Ilyass was both our driver and guide, and he was incredibly friendly with a great sense of humor. He happily answered all our extra questions about Moroccan culture and daily life, which made the experience even richer. Pickup and drop-off were perfectly on time, and his knowledge of Casablanca was impressive. A truly informative and enjoyable tour!Posted on Emilia R23/01/2026Verified Ali was a great guide Great tour, great companion, a very well done itinerary, plenty new information, definitely a must do experience! Nice job!Posted on Farheen C19/01/2026Verified Already talking about coming back Visiting Casablanca as a family from the UK was a real eye-opener and such a positive surprise. We came not knowing quite what to expect, but the city felt modern, welcoming, and in many ways closer to Europe than we imagined. Travelling with children, we felt comfortable and well looked after the entire time
