  • The Corniche - The reinvigorating Atlantic breeze is what attracts local to the coastline. Whether for jogging, a fashionable restaurant or distractions. The corniche remains the fashionable escape from the crowds and pollution of the city. Additionally, we will be able to see the first lighthouse in the city which stands as a hero against the Atlantic rough winds and waves.
  • ANFA - Driving through Anfa, you’ll discover an exclusive hilltop neighborhood with broad palm-lined avenues, lush gardens and stylish villas built over the last century. Though now demolished, the Hotel d’Anfa was the site of the historic 1943 meeting where President Roosevelt and Prime Minister Churchill finalized the date of the Normandy Allied landings.
  • Ville Art-Deco - Filled with stunning Art Deco buildings from the 1930s, a stroll through the city center reveals structures and infrastructure dating back to the 1920s and 1930s. While these buildings are meant to comply with the rental law of ‘45, many have been neglected and left abandoned. Only a few scattered villas have been renovated, highlighting the rarity of such restoration efforts. Despite the city’s lack of prioritization, a local association strives to preserve and honor the historical significance of Casablanca’s architectural heritage.
  • Marche Central Casablanca - The European market where most of the expatriates in the 30s used to come for groceries, pork and wine. Nowadays, it is well known for today’s fish cut, fruit and vegetables and strangely flowers as well.
  • Notre Dame de Lourdes - Step inside this sacred sanctuary and be transported through time, as the echoes of prayers and the artistic marvels of its construction envelop your senses. Experience the profound spirituality and cultural significance that Notre Dame de Lourdes has bestowed upon Casablanca for over a century, and embrace the palpable connection to faith and heritage that resonates within its hallowed walls. Today, Notre Dame de Lourdes stands as a cherished historical and religious landmark in Casablanca. Its rich history and architectural beauty draw visitors from around the world, offering a glimpse into the enduring legacy of Catholicism in Morocco.
  • Habbous - Well, here you will spend the majority of the time, a multitude of traditional shops around. The decore is so captivating to the extent that you don’t feel time passing. The village built with all the commodities that local Moroccan would need, it was primarily meant to accommodate new dwellers coming from different regions of the kingdom. It has all the necessary facilities that locals will need, namely mosques, community oven, houses and of course the majestic palace. The subtle mixture between French architecture and moorish style is truly awesome. However, because of these features the village ended attracting wealthy businessmen instead this .explains the number of shops owned by wealthy people from Fes.
  • Parc de la Ligue Arabe - Discover the hidden gem just a stone’s throw away from the Sacred Heart Church: the city’s sprawling park, a verdant oasis like no other. This lush haven plays a vital role as the vibrant lungs of the entire metropolitan area, invigorating the senses with its abundant greenery. Prepare to be captivated by the enchanting tapestry of plant life and the symmetrical allure of the palm trees that grace its landscape.

Best experience in Morocco! - pro-service: EXCELLENT! among all the agency I contacted, Issam is the most responsive one, since I am very worried about my elder uncle who is in wheelchair to visit somewhere never been. During trip:EXCELLENT! very well knowledged, very helpful with our wheelchair, very polite and passionate about what he is doing, the way he telling the story is fancinating, we learned a lot about their culture; always very pleaseant to have him as guide, at the end, we can choose our own restaurnt instead of the tourism trap, he is also very kindly explaining the food , thus we are able to order the delicious one. Even the driver Youssef is also very very helpful to move the wheelchair, help my uncle get in/out of the car. I will definitely recommend for another time or other guests! The best experience in Morocco! Thanks for morocco local tours provide such a nice tour. Hope can come back for another longer tour!

The perfect way to experience casablanca - This was a great way to get to see and experience Casablanca as newbies to the city with a private guide. Our guide, Issam, was fluent in English, friendly, courteous and punctual with a lot of knowledge of history of Casablanca and its major sights. It was a great way to cover a lot of ground in 5 hours and also experience some local markets and taste some food. He was happy to include a few pit stops of interest to us. Highly recommend for people who don't want to coral in a large group and want a more authentic and boutique experience. We had a lot of fun and was a perfect way to see the city.

THE guide for a beautiful day in Casablanca. - Isaam is a very knowlgeable, friendly, and engaging guide. He is a local, and he gave us insights into the city, the people, and the culture of Casablanca and Morroco. No questions were off limits, and Isaam gave us thoughtful and nuanced answers. His English is impeccable. Isaam was very responsive to our interests and provided great recommendations for the rest of our time in Morocco. When we asked about spices, he not only took us to the right market area, but to the stall that had room for us to easily walk around and he gave us guidance on what to buy - we can't wait to cook at home and raise a glass to him. At our request, he joined us for a wonderful lunch, and we couldn't have been happier with what he selected for us to try, and the stories he shared about his family's meals and celebrations. We couldn't have asked for a better introduction to his city.

The absolute best way to see Casablanca - When coming to a new city we are always excited about seeing the main attractions of the city but also we are keen to learn about the culture, history and essence of the place. Our guide Mounir ticked every box for us and more. What an incredibly cheerful, kind, attentive and knowledgable guide. The pace of the tour was perfect, and we covered a lot of ground and attractions. Our driver Amin was also just wonderful. Mounir showed us the true essence of the city and answered every question we had right down to whether he feels optimistic about the future of Morocco. His language skills are perfect and his manner is beautifully suited to ensuring that his clients have a wonderful day. We loved the trip and could not recommend this tour more highly. If possible ask for Mounir… you won’t regret it.

Twin souls from across the world - My favorite part of the experience was that the tour guide and i connected on so many different levels that he tailored the excursion on the spot. Saw the synogogue and because we both bake he took me to the jewish bakery.. then we followed up with Hassan mosque. Which was brilliant. And the customs which are similar to judaic customs. And then a shopping spree.. it was a lovely experience!

Fun in Casablanca - We had an awesome day with our guide Mounir! It was a great combination of walking and riding, and a balance of fun and educational experiences. We were able to experience much of what Casablanca had to offer. Our A\C-equipped bus was clean and seemed to be well-maintained. The driver (I can't remember his name) was just as friendly and he impressed us with his driving skills in what appeared to be complete chaos on the streets there. :-) I highly recommend them if you're heading to Casablanca.

Casablanca sights - We missed many things that were listed on this tour due to our guy taking us to a carpet store and it took up about an hour of our time. Just be aware to tell them you do not want to have a carpet presentation. Also, I had to be back at the hotel a certain time and I had to ask forcefully to be returned to the hotel. I think he was trying to take us to another restaurant where he gets a commission. The guide was informative and the places we went were good. We felt very safe. I would just be aware of the places you are going and be sure it is the stuff listed on the itinerary.
