We had a great day out with Nabil touring Rabat. He was incredibly considerate and ensured we were happy and comfortable the whole time. It was great having the flexibility of a private tour to tailor it to our needs. The lunch stop was a highlight, we enjoyed a delicious local meal in a gorgeous setting with lovely staff. We’d definitely recommend Nabil as a fantastic guide.
We had a very pleasant ride from Casablanca to Rabat for a day trip with our driver Naveen. He was very knowledgeable and share his personal stories which were very touching. We visited all of the sites as part of the tour and the highlight was late lunch at a sea side Moroccan restaurant - Dar Naji. One of the best Tajins we had in the last 2 weeks of eating at various Moroccan restaurants from Marrakesh to Casablanca. This trip was worth it!
Rashid was an excellent driver and general tour guide. He provided a lot of commentary as we drove to, from, and in Rabat and answered several of the questions I raised during the trip. When we got to locations that had local guides within them, he would make sure that our admissions were okay and then would wait for us to return. He even provided water and snacks for us! We would definitely use Rashid's services again.
Good time to have an overview of the city, where you can see the most important points and know about the capital. Comfortable car
Rabat is a beautiful place to see and a day tour is more than enough time to visit. A few reasons for a low rating. The driver was nice and friendly and took us to all the places listed. He also was very accommodating and allowed us to stop on the way to get coffee. The tour company has this listed as a tour, this was not a tour but a driver dropping us off at the listed locations. For the first stop, Bab Chella, Viator shows free admission. There is a cost that you have to pay to enter, 70 dirhams per person for the non-guided tour option. It is not a significant cost however, it shouldn’t be listed as free as this is not transparent. Secondly, to enter the royal palace, you need to bring your passport. This was not advised to us and so we were not able to go see it as we did not carry our passports with us. The Viator description also states free wifi in the car. There was no wifi. Overall, the cost of this trip was not worth the value. You can take a train from Casablanca to Rabat and walk around yourself or take a short taxi rides once in Rabat if needed. All places to see are close so it wouldn’t cost much. We also did a Marrakech tour through a different tour provider and it cost the same as Rabat but was MUCH better. We had a driver and a tour guide to show us around Marrakech. When comparing the tour experiences, we were disappointed and would not recommend this tour company.
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re glad you found the driver friendly and accommodating. Regarding your comments, please note that Chellah admission is not included, and this information is clearly mentioned in the tour description. The same applies to the Royal Palace, where it is stated that visitors must carry their passport if they wish to enter inside. If you look at our reviews, you’ll see that almost all of our customers are very happy with our tours, and we always do our best to provide a professional and enjoyable experience for every guest.
We had the best time! Our tour guide, Nabil, was excellent. He was very knowledgeable about everything and helped us navigate Rabat. I definitely recommend taking this day trip, if you have time, especially to see the main parts of Rabat. He even took us to a local spot for food that gave us a typical Berber experience.
Thank you for your kind review! We’re glad you enjoyed your day trip with Nabil and the Berber food experience. We’ll be sure to pass along your compliments to him.
Younes was fantastic! Polite, friendly, professional, and taught us a lot of history. Showed us the best stores to shop for the goods we wanted and helped us get a fresh, lovely meal.
Thank you for your wonderful feedback. We’re delighted to know that Younes made your experience memorable with his professionalism, friendliness, and deep knowledge. We truly appreciate your kind words and hope to welcome you again in Morocco.
Bottled water, local cookies and chocolates, as well as great conversation and jokes, Rachid is your guide to Rabat. Additional bonuses, he is excellent at scheduling to maximize your time and is adept at getting around crazy Casablanca traffic. Thank you again, Rachid!
Thank you so much! Rachid will be pleased to hear your kind words. We hope to welcome you again on another adventure in Morocco!
