Good tour
Shore excursion from a cruise. Everything was great. Courteous. Professional. Good information and history of the area. The mosque was incredible. I would give a 5 star but didn’t need to be taken to a rug vendor at the end and pressured into buying a $1100 handmade rug. Albeit high quality we didn’t come to Morocco for a rug purchase. It would be better to include a bakery or eatery as part of the tour.

There were many things on...
There were many things on the itinerary that were lacking. Firstly, I have to say the Hassan Mosque was wonderful and I was given time for this visit. The commentary by my guide however was sadly lacking right throughout the entire tour. I felt like I was being just driven around, without any enthusiasm or info provided by the guide - it was only when I asked questions to try and extract any info. Old Medina : he pointed it out and said it’s difficult to park so I thought I was going to miss out. I had to ask later if I could stop and spend time there ( as this was part of the itinerary). He did consent ( at end of tour) to take me back there. Ricks Cafe: I realise only now after speaking to other travellers that you need to make a booking to go inside. I wasn’t given any explanation from my guide only that I could have a quick photo outside the cafe. Royal Palace: I don’t even remember what it looked like. The guide drove past quickly and pointed to something in the distance but was very vague about where it was. So I certainly didn’t have the opportunity to see it from the outside nor stop nearby and walk to it. La Corniche: 30 mins was given to wander this promenade on the itinerary. I was given only 15 mins to stay at one point and not wander more than approx 50 metres. No time for a cafe stop either as per itinerary. Square Mohammed V: was given enough time here. Quartier Habous: I was given enough time here but was never pointed to or given knowledge of where the gardens of the Royal Palace were which is in the itinerary. I only realised it was nearby when I saw itinerary after the tour. Central markets: wasn’t taken there at all. I also didn’t realise I had missed out until I saw the itinerary later. The whole tour felt very rushed and the guide didn’t seem interested in being a guide, or being keen or providing knowledge and showing the sites in depth ( or at all). It was as if he was just trying to get it over and done with and just driving with very minor narrative. I made up for lack of time at some sites or skipped sites by staying a bit longer alone in the old Medina which I had asked to be taken back to as this looked like being skipped on the drive by. To add to the disappointment of the booked tour - before I arrived in Casablanca I was receiving constant texts and a few phone calls ( at the airport ) from the tour guide asking me to be collected at 8.30 am ( I had booked a 10.30 am tour via Viator which was confirmed). I wouldn’t even be arriving in Morroco to do this earlier time. He then was asking me to do a 2.30 pm tour which I declined as I had booked the 10.30 spot for a reason, to fit in with an afternoon meeting for a 2 week group tour of Morroco. I explained this in my messages. He then asked me to cancel my Viator tour. I replied that I had booked and paid for the 10.30 am time which had been confirmed. There was no reason given by him as to why he was trying to change my Viator tour but he eventually relented to my booking time when I said the issue should be taken up with Viator. If he had had difficulty with that booking time then there should have been a backup guide for that particular tour. To add to the negative experience, I received a message from the tour guide at 11.30 pm that night ( post tour) asking me for a review and saying sorry for contacting me late to ask this. I was woken up from my sleep. Needless to say I didn’t give my review when he wanted. I was very disappointed and saddened that I felt I had missed out on important sites and had an unprofessional experience. I spoke to other tourists later that had done other half day tours of Casablanca and they filled me in with so much detail and their good experience at these same sites and with their guide , reinforcing my feeling that I had not been fortunate to enjoy the same.

The tour guide iSofyan was amazing. He is knowledgable. His English is perfect. For English speaker Travellers I recommend to book with him. He is humorous, helpful. Even when we change a drop off location he goes out of his way to drop us to different location . I will definitely recommend him to family and friends who will visit Morrocco

Great tour of Casablanca!!
Awesome experience with Khalid and Hazram(driver). Khalid showed us all the highlights of Casablanca always ensuring we were happy and had sufficient time to take in everything. He was very informative and new Casablanca well. He took us to a Berber carpet store and an argan oil pharmacy to do some shopping for things we were interested in. Hazram was a very good and safe driver. A very good day and tour.

Why this scores 84
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Casablanca tour: From the Hassan2 Mosque to the Royal Palaces: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Casablanca.
How much does Casablanca tour: From the Hassan2 Mosque to the Royal Palaces cost?
+
Prices start at $32 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Casablanca usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Casablanca tour: From the Hassan2 Mosque to the Royal Palaces take?
+
Plan for about 4 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Casablanca is not rushed.
Is Casablanca tour: From the Hassan2 Mosque to the Royal Palaces worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 84 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 92 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Casablanca, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Casablanca tour: From the Hassan2 Mosque to the Royal Palaces?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Casablanca tour: From the Hassan2 Mosque to the Royal Palaces suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Casablanca tour: From the Hassan2 Mosque to the Royal Palaces?
+
Around 32 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Casablanca can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Casablanca and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Casablanca tour: From the Hassan2 Mosque to the Royal Palaces start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Casablanca within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Casablanca?
+
On Outty we rank every Casablanca experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Casablanca Hassan II Mosque and City Highlights Tour, Casablanca Half-day Guided Tour with Hassan II mosque ticket, Private Guided Tour of Casablanca Including Mosque Entrance. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Casablanca?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Casablanca?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
