Fell in Love with Tangier... Do not miss out on this tour - I was a bit weary of crossing from Spain to Tangier... and oh boy, I was so wrong!! Tangier is a beautiful, clean and friendly city with a rich culture and heritage as well as amazing people. the ferry ride was very well organized and comfortable, our lead guide , Karim, communicated the details as soon as I signed up and sent me a reminder of the steps to get on with very clear directions. He checked in with us that morning with WHATSAPP to ensure all went smoothly. We were met with our name on a placard at the port terminal which is clean and spacious and felt brand new. Hamza was our guide. Hamza loved his city and he shared his love with us. He passionately told us about the international history of the city including the Phoenicians, Spanish, French, Italian and other influences. I loved the trip to the Casbah and being with our guide,who is the son of the casbah, knowing everyone and every inch of that historic neighborhood was a treat. He was humble, warm, professional and just fun! the transportation ( a Mercedes mini-van) gave us a VIP feel and Murad the driver was close to us ensuring we could make our 4:-- pm ferry ride as we were on a tight schedule. I still had time to enjoy the Moroccan market, the views, the tea and Moroccan crepes which were included. our camel ride experience was great, Mohammad sang and smiled the entire way and they told us that tip was optional. I did not at any time feel like I was obliged to pay for anything extra!! I would go back in a heartbeat. I highly recommend this tour which was worth so much more than we paid for. A shoutout to Karim Patito tours for giving us such a memorable experience.

Amazing authentic Morocco in a day experience - Very easy transfer from Tarifa with great communication and signage upon arrival. We were greeted by Hamza who you should request because he is absolutely awesome. He is extremely passionate about Tangier and knew the entire city and everyone there. Very knowledgeable and polite. We learned some history, tried some great food, he got us whatever we asked for, showed us some amazing places that you would never find on your own, and made the experience pleasant for all of us. I would recommend this experience for anyone in the area who has a spare day.

Outstanding customer care - From the first day I booked this trip I got message from Karim almost immediately welcoming me and asking questions about our interest in Morocco, so he can arrange our trip just for us! The attention to details from Karim was very impressive to say the least. He answered my questions almost immediately. Well, the night before our trip to Tangier my husband got very sick ( we found out it was COVID later on) and we had to cancel. I texted Karim and explained the situation. Since then Karim texted and called to check on my husband numerous times. The next day Karim told me that he will refund part of our money which was a surprise for us. We know the Viator policy and did not expect the refund. Karim refund us more than half of the money we paid. I know he spend money buying Ferri tickets and planning this trip for us, so I did not even ask for the refund. The integrity of his company was very refreshing these days. We definitely come back to Morocco and definitely call Karim to show us his beautiful country. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for care and love he showed us.

Best Moroccan tour experience! - I wish I could give Karim more than a 5 star review, he took the extra time to get to know us and catered the tour to us. The camel ride along the beach was so much fun and we enjoyed seeing all the beautiful sites and learning about the history. Karim really made us feel like family and we will truly never forget this experience.

Interesting and wonderful tour - On 9/16/24 we had a Tangier Private Day Tour from Tarifa including ferry and camels, Tangier Private City tour. We were four friends and the tour guide was Farid, an excellent tour guide. Farid is very knowledgeable, professional and pleasant. He is very flexible and we had a wonderful experience. He facilitated all the transfers, meals, sightseeing and made our experience a very pleasant and memorable one.

Beautiful, Informative, and Fun! - The tour was a wonderful experience and well worth the price. Kasim met us directly outside the ferry terminal and introduced to Hasma, our guide for the day. As we drove through Tangier, Hasma pointed out some of the significant residences and some of the history. It was amazing to learn how much of our culture has connections to Tangier and Morocco. Every stop on the itinerary was a photo-worthy event. The camel ride a lot of fun! The lunch at the traditionally decorated Moroccan restaurant was delicious and accompanied by local musicians. The market was a labyrinth of narrow alleys filled with shops selling everything imaginable. In the midst of this, Hasma brought us a veritable art gallery of a shop that displayed some truly stunning pieces of Moroccan craftsmanship. The tour was completed flawlessly and cannot recommend

Tangier Morocco 2024 - Walking the Kasbah, riding a camel on the beach, learning the history behind f Tangier etc. were all intriguing to me!!! Karim was very knowledgeable and a great asset to guide us on this tour of the area! I wouldn't have wanted to do it w/o a tour guide! Very nice that he could arrange our ferry tickets as well!
