With only a few days in in Tangier I had hoped to see its sites and learn a bit about the city but after taking this tour not only were these goals met in full but I also experienced the character and soul of this wonderful place. Omar brought to life the history, the culture and the heart of these wonderful people. We were picked up in a modern, clean, Mercedes van at our hotel for the trip to Asilah and Cape Spartel feeling comfortable and safe at all times with Monsif’s driving. Later we had a delightful traditional lunch at a local restaurant in Tangier. The meal was inexpensive and very good. In the afternoon we continued in Tangier from the Medina to the hills overlooking the city with its beautiful views. The tour was in English which Omar had a perfect command and was very accommodating to mold the tour to our tastes and interests. I have been on many tours around the world and this ranks as one of the best. I would recommend him and this tour to anyone.

Asilah is a very pretty little fortified town, the medina is very beautiful, colorful, flowery, it's a great discovery! a good driver, a comfortable Ford van and a very friendly local guide who adapted to our pace, the restaurant offered was excellent! Nice excursion, remember to call a manager the day before to make sure that the Argania group has transmitted the information to the Moroccan team....

Excellent tour!

Excellent tour, with a very prepared and professional guide.
