“Tour of Casablanca, Morocco”
AMIT B, 12/31/13
I booked Memphis Tours Egypt for a half-day tour of Casablanca while I had a 10 hour layover there. The booking process was quick and easy via email. When we got to Casablanca Airport, the driver was waiting for us. It took about 40 minutes to get into the city--once we did, we picked up Miriam, our tour guide. She was absolutely amazing. Very knowledgeable. She took us everywhere we wanted to go and skipped what she knew were weren't into. We completed the tour in about 3 hours. I would highly recommend using this company.
