What people are saying about Tangier

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!

Ali was our tour guide and he was amazing! Kind, patient, extremely knowledgeable, allowed us to take our time learning the history and understanding Tangier. Everywhere we went people treated him with respect and were friendly. He seemed to know many folks along the way and it was obvious they held him in high regard as we did. He was warm and friendly, he took pictures of us, showed us a wide variety of things and made sure we had an excellent tour. Ahmed was our driver and he was a great! Safe, smooth, kind and accommodating. He was friendly and calm. Can’t say enough about these two guides. I highly recommend this tour, especially if you’re lucky enough to have them.

A wonderful day with our guide Rachid and his driver Houssine! Thank you for his explanations, his culture and his kindness, we had a great day thanks to Rachid who made us discover all the corners of Tangier; even my 8 year old daughter loved her day and the museum visits! I recommend Rachid as a guide 100%
