Abnormal price, not advised

150 euros Is too much for Morocco (other guides in Fez and Marracash the mean Is 25 euros) for visiting only the mausoleum of Mohammed V (free entry) and a walk to the last attraction. Duration:2h30m. Chellah Is not include (we bought the tickets and audio guide). Driver and guide are expert and kind but the price is huge, absolutely not advised in a city where there are 2 or 3 attractions

Wonderful half day tour of Rabat

Mohammad was our fantastic guide and Badr was our wonderful driver — this team have us such a comprehensive and informative yet fun amazing tour of the main sights of Rabat. I really loved that Mohammad took pains to explain everything, in details and answered all our many many questions so very nicely. I also really appreciate that both Mohammad and Badr paid special attention to my sister’s needs, as she has a slight handicap, but they were very helpful and considerate, talking much care of her. Thank you for a wonderful afternoon!!
