What people are saying about Casablanca-Settat

I had a fantastic tour with Mohammed Bennis and Rachid. Mr Bennis was very knowledgeable and I really had the impression he loves what he is doing. I learned a lot about city, country and culture. I enjoyed the company a lot and we had a very good exchange. As I already saw some parts of the city, I was shown even other places which are normally not included. Also they did not mind to spend more time to do so than foreseen. I really recommend anyone who wants to get the most out of the Casablanca experience, to go on a tour with them. Mr Bennis truly wants the participants to have the best experience possible.

Very experienced tour guide. Very friendly and open minded. It was a great pleasure he was sharing all his wisdom with us. Perfect organised as well. Book it and you will get the best of morrocan culture.

Our driver Medhi was a fantastic driver, he was prompt and friendly getting us to Marrakesh where our guild Ydir was able to show us around the heart of the city.
