Highlights

Rabat – Arrive in Casablanca and Highlights Tour of City and Capital Rabat

Casablanca - Welcome to Morocco, a country whose culture is ingrained in the landscape and emanates from the cuisine. Arrive in Casablanca where your private guide and transfer are waiting. The city sits at the country’s western edge, against the quiet lull of the Atlantic Ocean. Palm trees border wide boulevards. The trees sway in the delicate sea breeze. The sweet scent of coconut mixes with the salty sea air. Historic neighborhoods edge contemporary Art Deco buildings erected during French colonialism. A cosmopolitan ambiance can be felt through the cityscape, from award-winning restaurants to contemporary art galleries displaying aesthetics that shy away from the more classic Moroccan images.

Hassan II Mosque looks out over the cobalt water. The ocean laps at the small wall that pushes against the ocean. The minaret stands 689 feet tall, the largest minaret in the world. The sunlight glints off of the water and inside of the mosque you can see the ocean wading beneath the glass floor of the main hall. The walls contain an opulent shimmer, constructed with decadent hand crafted marble. Over 100,000 worshipers can pray inside the mosque, with 25,000 inside the main hall. Walk through the multi-colored arches and notice the engraved floral designs. The elegance of the mosque reveals Morocco’s contemporary connection to its boisterous and flamboyant heritage.

10 day tour in July - It was an excellent tour. We got everything as promised. The pick up at the airport and all the transfers were smooth. The tour adjusted its schedule at our request and we’re flexible. We also adjusted the tour on the fly mostly depending on weather. They had no problem doing that. The tour guide helped us arrange baggage handling at each location. Only thing I would suggest is the van needs better air conditioning. To be fair we were there at the hottest time of the year. Temperatures reached over 45 C. But at some points it was a bit uncomfortable at the back of the van during long transfers. But in the end I woukd still like to emphasize that the tour was excellent.

Incredible Service from our driver - We had an amazing time on our 10 day tour of Morocco. One of the most memorable vacations I will have for a long time!! We did so many things: visiting historic sites, incredible markets, delicious food, and experiencing the dessert. Traveling to a country like Morocco might seem scary to some but we were never worried with Tarik, our private driver. He is with us throughout the trip doing so many things: managing our itinerary so we don’t have to do anything other than relax, being our translator when we needed medications from the pharmacy, giving recommendations when we had free time, and always providing a great energy/mood to make this trip constantly so fun. I highly recommend them for any future trip for anyone looking for a great experience!!

Incredible tour, exceptional driver! - We had an incredible time with Tarik - he’s an exceptional driver and by the end of the trip he’d become part of our family. Nothing was too much trouble for him, whether it was finding good coffee along the way or being patient when our kids misbehaved! For our group of six (including three children under the age of 10) a private driving tour was the best way to see Morocco. The van was spacious and easy to travel in, we had a great mix of sightseeing, cultural experiences and downtime, and we were able to change our plans on any given day (leave earlier or later, skip some stops etc). The hotels and riads along the way were awesome and Tarik gave us great advice on how to spend our free time and find great restaurants and bars. I highly recommend this trip, especially Tarik!

Amazing experience with a fantastic driver - Tarik was a superstar driver and made our experience amazing. He was always considerate of our young children, very flexible and always smiling whenever we needed to change plans or made a quick stop. By the end of the trip, our boys treated him like another family member and we trusted him like family. We enjoyed the whole experience and the very thoughtful, authentic and caring treatment we received from Tarik. Thank you!
