Here’s looking at you kid! - Casablanca is amazing - travelling with our guide made it memorable by explaining things as we drove there. The mosque is amazing - one of the only in the world where you can go in as a non Muslim. The best part is visiting the Humphrey bogart bar! Worth the trip

What a great day! - We had a fabulous day in Casablanca, helped enormously by Ashraf our driver, he was pleasant, knowledgeable, a great driver and helped us see things we would never have been able to without him. Casablanca has lots to see in one day and Ashraf will help you get round them all safely and enjoyably. Highly recommend especially if you have the same driver.

A great day out - We really wanted to lunch in Rick’s Cafe, and our guide/ driver Ashraf managed to organise it for us. He was great the whole day, and we’d highly recommend asking for him

A fantastic day trip - We had a great day trip to Casablanca thanks to our driver, Achraf, who took good care of us and made sure we had a wonderful experience. It was so interesting to see a different part of Morocco and to witness the beauty of the Hassan II Mosque and experience the oceanfront at the Corniche. We booked this experience with Time Out through Viator and would happily recommend booking it, especially with Achraf! Thank you so much for a great day.

We had a great time! - We had a great time in Casablanca yesterday (29/03), we are fortunate to have Ahmed as our tour guild(we are group of six-age from 6-65). He is very knowledgeable and attentive. We spend lovely five hours in the city. Really learnt a lot about the city’s history and ordinary people’s daily life. Ahmed was honest and not pushy as we go to certain shop, he was just doing his job. We all amazed with his energetic character considering it’s ramadan and he is fasting. Definitely recommend this trip!!

A great day in Casablanca - Despite the long drive, the day in Casablanca was incredible. Our driver was excellent and our tour guide was fantastic. The knowledge of his city was second to none. Shopping was included and we spent a great time in the Medina. Then we were taken to a restaurant in the Medina that used to be a synagogue and had one of the best meals we’ve ever had

Waste of time and money. Worst experience ever. - This was the worst day trip we’ve been to. If you want an overpriced visit of the mosque and then be driven around to the tour guide’s favourite shops and restaurants so he can bring them more business then this is the trip for you. The driver who took us from Marrakesh to Casablanca and back spoke very little English so for 3 hours going there and 3 hours coming back we were just watching through the windows and googling the places we passed. Also the car was not a car but a minivan with no air con and it was scorching hot. We arrived already looking like we crossed the desert on foot. The driving was also serious. I’m sure the driver’s favourite movie is The Fast and The Furious. The tour guide was very rushed person and I didn’t enjoy that. After the mosque visit which was nice and informative we were taken on a ride around town to few places where we only stopped and look through the windows because apparently it was very busy and there was not much to see. The places where we did stop and had plenty of time to spend were the tour guide’s friend’s shops even though we mentioned we didn’t look to buy anything. And the most annoying thing was that I said that we wanted to visit Rick’s Cafe. The whole day the tour guide was telling us how it is not a real cafe and so on and so on we eventually went there after the place was closed. Very annoying, very. After this we asked to go to a mall or another touristy location to walk around and see a bit of Casablanca but we were told this is not part of the tour and also we can’t go on our own because the driver will leave without us for Marrakesh. The whole point of a private tour was that it is only the two of us so we don’t have to accommodate for a group of people and their preferences. So this has got to be the worst day trip we’ve been on and the most expensive. We were basically kept in this small van all day and just looked at Casablanca through the windows for £250.
