Nice day out on the river - It was nice to see Rabat, and it’s Kaspah from the water, as well as the new modern theatre building. The guide Soahib was nice and helpful. I tried to row the boat - your do it standing, not sitting - it was hard but a lot of fun!

Great ride with a large hand rowed fishing boat. Friendly, knowledgeable guide! - The boat ride was very enjoyable. The views of the old fort area and the newer theater and tower were spectacular. We especially enjoyed the walk through the old market area.

Best tour in Rabat - This tour is a must when visiting Rabat! Sohaib and his brother gave us the best tour experience so far in our lives. They were extremely friendly, spoke perfect English, were courteous and made sure that my girlfriend and I had an unforgettable time. Upon request, we were even able to take a tour in a luxurious motorboat. We would recommend this tour to anyone.
Thank you very much Sohaib, for a future visit to Rabat we will definitely book this tour again !

Relaxing morning - It was really relaxing to be on the water in a non-motorized boat. We were able to see parts of Rabat that can’t be seen otherwise and Sohaid was able to answer all our many questions.

Great way to see the river by boat! - We had a wonderful boat tour of the river. The building are amazing we loved to hear from Sohaib the history of the area.

We would highly recommend this tour! Thanks Sohaib!

A bit disappointing - As we were the only people on the boat, we expected to get more history of the river and its surroundings. We did not go down any canals nor did we get any history of the area. We did however, pass by all the mentioned sites that were listed in the description which was fine.
