Go to Rabat with Wahid! - I thoroughly enjoyed my private tour of Rabat. What a wonderful city. My guide Wahid is from Rabat and his insider knowledge was on full display. I had been traveling for several days and Wahid let me decide what I wanted to do after explaining all of the choices to me. Great panorama views from the Fort, help with shopping, a wonderful visit the the Hassan 2 mausoleum and mosque followed by a stop for lunch on an esplanade where I could sit by the water and watch kids play on the promenade. The car was new, comfortable, clean and always with refreshing water offered at every stop. Don’t miss going to Rabat with Wahid! It’s wonderful.

Beautiful day trip to Rabat - Beautiful day spent in Rabat with our tour guide, Abrim (sp?). He was very knowledgeable about his country and shared lots of information about his culture. He was very easy to understand and had a good command of the English language. Our small group (us and another couple) visited a number of historical sites, including the unfinished mosque and mausoleum where King Mohammed V was kept, the current King’s administrative palace, a casbah, and had plenty of time at each place. We were visiting from a cruise ship in Casablanca and there was no problem meeting up with the driver at the terminal and transportation to Rabat and back was very nice - beautiful city to visit.

Rabat with Ouahid - We took a private tour from Casablanca to Rabat with Ouahid. His SUV was clean, new, and with phone chargers available. Hi was professional, knowledgeable, didn’t put music, and he limited his conversation to explain the landmarks and to answer our questions. He was not invasive, so we could chat with no interference. So far, the best experience possible. Also, Rabat is a must see place.

Half day trip to Rabat - Rabat, the political capital of Morocco is an easy place to visit. It’s a short stop from Casablanca. I felt it was not as exotic or active as other cities but for a more than a half day tour it was worth it
