The excursion is worth it. The visit to the Hassan II Mosque is impressive, which is the centerpiece of the tour. It’s true that it takes many hours on a bus to see one monument, so everyone can decide for themselves whether they have the time or not. But I would say it’s one of the most impressive buildings I’ve seen. The tour is very well organized.

Beautiful scenery, a very nice experience, highly recommended. They picked us up from our hotel on time. Our guide, Nisham, speaks several languages and was very attentive. He also explained the entire trip and explained the history of Casablanca and its most important sites.

Beautiful experience. Our guide Mohamed was very thorough, planned and detailed. The icing on the cake: although the guide was supposed to be in French and English we had the wonderful surprise of hearing him speak excellent Italian. Absolutely recommended trip!!

Mr. Rashid and Youssef was very kind to guide us to the different locations during the entire day trip on the way to Casablanca. My Husband and I enjoyed the trip and would definitely recommend this trip to anybody wanting to visit Casablanca for a day. A special thank you to Rashid and team :- Shukran! I have also attached a group picture of the excursion.

The mosque is spectacular and worth it for that alone, but you can’t see anything else.
Federico –
A truly worthwhile excursion, especially thanks to the excellent driver Jossef and the very attentive and friendly guide Hicham, who made the visit very enjoyable.
José –
The tour was very comprehensive. We saw the most important parts of Casablanca, relaxed, unhurried, and unpressured. The guide explained everything to us, adapting to each language and making sure we understood everything. I recommend paying the entrance fee to the mosque; it’s worth it. You get a guided tour inside in your language.

We had a great day out, don’t be put off by the 3 hr drive from Marrakech, it flys by, comfortable mini bus, comfort breaks and Charaf is a great driver. Sharok, our guide for the day was polite and very informative, nothing was too much trouble. Casablanca is a beautiful city and worth a visit. The Mosque in particular is amazing and not expensive. Enough time for other stops and a great lunch stop too. Would defiantly recommend.
