The ferry was over an hour late leaving Tarifa. Of course, that time was missing. The trip was still great! Rachid in Tanga was a fun and extremely knowledgeable guide. He can speak 7 languages, so pretty much everyone understands him. It's still a stressful tour because everything is very tight. But still recommended. It is also good to know that everyone with a passport has to wait in line to be stamped on the ship! It is also important that you get a sticker at the port of departure by which you can be recognized. So you don't have to look for anyone. :) All in all, it's a successful trip with good food and a good impression of Morocco (you get used to the vendors in the streets). Gladly again!

I would highly recommend this tour. Excellent value for money: two tours in one! Friendly and helpful staff. Comfortable bus with seatbelts, USB charger points, good WIFI and rain covers if needed.

Youseff was great with my family . He made us feel really welcome and gave us many highlights of beautiful Tangier . I highly recommend !

It is a great tour and Rashid was very friendly. It would be nice to have a little time to shop for souvenirs at the end.

Great way to see different parts of the city, Hercules cave and Cape spartel!
