A memorable tour!

This Rabat tour from Casablanca was the highlight of our trip to Morocco. The tour is amazingly well organized. Our driver is an excellent and safe driver. He gave us water and was always already waiting for us at the pick up points. Our tour guide Mohammed spoke very clear English and was very knowledgeable of the Rabat and Morocco culture and history. My husband and I recommend this tour.
