Exceptional is the adjective that I would use to describe our experience yesterday on our walking tour with Hassan. He was a fantastic guide demonstrating his expansive knowledge of the culture of Morocco’s historical. He went above and beyond! He was prompt, personable, witty, and all-around a pleasure to spin the day with. It was a perfect way to start off our Morrocan vacation!

amazing experience, highly recommended. guide definitely knew what he was talking about. knew the answers to all questions. amazing way to visit and learn about the city. learning lots of facts. also recommended great places to visit for both food and evening activity.

The car was very clean and comfortable and the guide was very interesting sharing informations about Morocco's culture, social structure, religion, economy and history. Definitely the best way to visit the touristic and the non touristic areas of Rabat.

A wonderful (mostly) walking tour of Rabat. We got to know the city very well. Isham was an excellent guide, courteous, considerate, and very knowledgeable. We saw all that we expected to see and more. The tour was fun and engaging.

This is a must do on any trip to Casablanca! My driver REDA, who also drove the trip to Rabat is fantastic and beyond helpful and accommodating. If you get the early AM or late afternoon (sunset) the pictures are awesome!
