It is a worthwhile trip, we enjoyed it very much. There are many days and hotels and transfers, local guides. I imagine it is very difficult to organize the logistics of all this. We just didn't like the first day's guide that just focused on taking us into stores to buy stuff and earn commissions. He didn't take a break for lunch, he didn't stop by the souks around Jemaa El Fna square and he also removed the Menara Garden from the itinerary on his own. I suspect he removed the Menara Garden as it is a public garden and he earns no commission from it. We had lunch at 4 pm and we were starving. Apart from that, the rest was very nice, we got to know many things even in Morocco and I can say that it was worth it. Hotels are good, everything functional. I would do it again and recommend it. Points for the Dino guide.

Exceptional is the adjective that I would use to describe our experience yesterday on our walking tour with Hassan. He was a fantastic guide demonstrating his expansive knowledge of the culture of Morocco’s historical. He went above and beyond! He was prompt, personable, witty, and all-around a pleasure to spin the day with. It was a perfect way to start off our Morrocan vacation!

amazing experience, highly recommended. guide definitely knew what he was talking about. knew the answers to all questions. amazing way to visit and learn about the city. learning lots of facts. also recommended great places to visit for both food and evening activity.

The car was very clean and comfortable and the guide was very interesting sharing informations about Morocco's culture, social structure, religion, economy and history. Definitely the best way to visit the touristic and the non touristic areas of Rabat.

This is a must do on any trip to Casablanca! My driver REDA, who also drove the trip to Rabat is fantastic and beyond helpful and accommodating. If you get the early AM or late afternoon (sunset) the pictures are awesome!
