About Tour Guide Kate A.
My tours were born from my passion for traveling and studying other cultures, from my avid late-night reading, and from meeting amazing, bright, and talented people from around the world. And, of course, it sprouted from my love for storytelling :). Now, there are 10 of us - guides in Morocco, the Netherlands, Belgium, Serbia and Hungary. We are historians, designers, physicists, journalists, sociologists, and art historians. I am thrilled to share my knowledge and show you these fabulous and hidden places from a tourist's perspective. My team would be delighted to accompany you on this adventure full of unexpected discoveries as we travel through the centuries and immerse ourselves in the local culture!

“Tour of Casablanca - May 16th”
Kate was very accommodating in arranging a 6 hour tour for an international group. Our guide was also very good - knowledgeable and thoughtful. Kate was always prompt in her responses and willing to advise and amend the itinerary.
