Exciting experience! - We had a wonderful time on our tour. Our tour guide, Majid, was amazing! He was energetic, knowledgeable, patient and always made sure we were okay Tangier is a beautiful town, full of history, delicious food and humble people. Majid made sure we experienced it all. Our organizer, Karim, was informative and very helpful. He provided a very detailed itinerary with instructions that made our journey, port to port, run smoothly. My family had a memorable experience.

A comfortable and historic view of Tangier - Both our guide and driver were amazing. It was our first time in Morocco and they made sure we were extremely comfortable. We had a bit of a time crunch and they made sure we saw all the important sites before we left. When I come back to Morocco, I will absolutely be back in touch with this tour company :)

A highlight of our trip to the Costa del Sol - This tour was very well-organized and comfortable. Although we are one group, it is comprised of three separate families and Abu was able to keep everyone engaged. The instructions were clear; the private van was very nice; and our tour guide was flexible so as to keep everyone happy. This tour is well worth the money. You would never go to Tangier for a day and get the insight or share the access that is made possible when on the tour. We got insights into the history of the city and an inside look at the casbah. The children in our group were thrilled by the snake charmer. We all loved the camel ride on the beach — adults and children alike. Take the tour. Experience authentic and delicious Moroccan food as well as the best views of and from Tangier. You won’t regret it.

Great day Excursion to Tangier - It was a great day trip to Tangier, Morocco from Tarifa Spain with family and friends. Karim the Tour Operator was superb kept in touch and made sure everything was smooth. Abu the guide was very helpful and showed us very interesting parts of the city. The camel ride was the highlight of our trip. The cost was extremely reasonable and the hospitality of the Moroccan People were evident everywhere. We had a nice mini bus with air conditioning and helpful driver. We had lunch on our own recommended by Abu the guide and the food was great.

Treated like family - When we met Karim coming off the ferry, we had already texted extensively in the weeks leading up to the tour. I knew it would be a good one because he took the time to learn what my family wanted to see and made sure we got it all in. That said, when he met us he said "while you're in Tangier you are my family," and it really felt that way. He made sure my 8 and 6 year olds were safe, happy and felt included. We felt totally comfortable everywhere. People stopped to greet him on every street. 100% recommended. The thousands of 5 star reviews tell you everything you need to know.

Unforgettable Day! - We had an amazing day in Tangier. From when we booked, Karim was available to answer any questions we had prior to the day and followed up during our tour. Everything was taken care of and we were given detailed instructions and what to do to board the ferry in Tarifa and meet them in Tangier. Upon arriving we were greeted by our guide for the day, Abu who walked us over to our van and introduced us to our driver, Abdul. Abu was great about giving us history and information about Tangier and answering all of our questions. I think he knows everyone in Tangier! We saw all the highlights promised and it was an incredible day - delicious food, camel rides, spending time walking through the old town, just incredible. Abu also helped with basic questions about haggling prices and where to find items we were looking for. Highly recommend!

A day where history and fantasy came alive! - This was a fantastic tour. Karim communicated with us every step of the way, giving us specific instructions so as to eliminate any confusion about what we were supposed to do from the arrival to the port to our return. Equally important, our guide, Majid was an expert, able to organize the information he was giving to make the history, the culture and our engagement with people in the restaurants and shops a truly meaningful and joyful experience. We are grateful to both for their effort in making this experience fully enjoyable and unforgettable!
