DAY trip / Rabat
GREAT !!! We enjoyed it very much, Salah was a great guide and did a fantastic job of taking us to Rabat. We would definitely have Salah take us on another tour. Ask for him by name you won't regret it.
I don't want to give review but,
I don't want to give review but, It was okay to start the tour. Car was safe, driver was smoothly driving. The guide was okay. Around the lunch time, the guide said he finished the last spot for the tour and the driver let us to have lunch at one of the restaurants between Salé and old medina. We skipped the lunch as it was not really interesting choice to have.( If you are okay to eat something as casual local snacks, grab something inside of medina) Then, we had free time to hang around old medina till 3pm to come back to carpark. Everyone was back on time. The guide was not back, the driver was just calling somewhere( there was miscommunication might be) and we waited til around 4pm( almost 1hr in the car doing nothing) just sitting in the hot ,opened car under the sun. The driver apologized this circumstance, however it was not even easy to ask him to depart from Rabat to Casa after 1hr waiting. They should improve the communication... FYI. Medina is like maze as you know. Please be aware of the time and distance to go and to be back to car.
