Remeber this Name—Tangier Patito Tours, Karim - From the very first communication to the last, Karim made our Tangier experience the highlight of our trip! This is not TLDR, read all of this. My average review scores on TripAdvisor and Viator is 3.42. I believe if you perform a contract as ordered—that’s a 3. You did as asked, handled any issues that came up? Good, that’s why someone pays you. Karim was not a three—at all. He should be a “6”. The scale is broken for him. Why? - within one hour of booking he texted contact information and asked if he could help in any way - After 3-4 texts, he asked permission to call—get that! He asked and then waited for me to approve. - He did a sort of interview asking what were not the typical 20 questions. He listened to me and my wife. You could tell he was processing a decision tree to ask each next point of interest or concern. - He assembled an itinerary as we spoke then as items were added he adapted time tables and the order of events. - His instructions not only included EVERY detail about the ferry from Tarifa to Tangier, but advice to use our car (since we had one) to GO TO Tarifa for the fast ferry and sleep in another 2 hours and get the same exact schedule! He even gave Spanish hiway driving advice. - What we did? - Ferry over. He and Abdul (our driver) met us as we debarked. These two were a TEAM! - City tour. Included history. Sites of the city improvements done (many) by the current King of Morracco. Cultural heritage of a three religion city. - The beautiful main mosque. - All the time taking more pictures of us than we ever did, including advice if we were missing something! - Abdul was a super efficient driver the entire time. I could tell the two were in constant planning mode. - Visited American “California” - Saw the Lighthouse, where we had a traditional Morrocan lunch (I think we could have asked Karim for anything and he would have found it) - Rode camels on the Atlantic beach - Visited the old city where everyone knew Karim (he grew up there). People would see him and stop to talk. Even a regular customer of his (cruise ship captain) was glad to see him and disappointed we had booked him ahead of his own wife. - Visited the Kasbah - Visited the markets. Karim coached us on when barter was part of the shopping culture and when not. - Visited a community oven and had fresh toasted cashews and almonds. - And even as we were headed back to the ferry, my wife wanted to look at one more shop. He immediately figured out how to make it happen. If you want a private tour at a great rate—THIS IS IT! I knew I was over tipping when I handed it to him. He deserved every bit of it. If you have the chance, forget joining a bus tour at 110€—see Karim in Tangiers it’s more, but not much more and it’s CUSTOM!

Spain to all of Tangier the very best way! - Couldn't have a better experience with this booking. Karim was in touch right away ready to help with every aspect of our journey - helping us add on a ride to Tarifa for the ferry and then helping us book a hotel and an additional tour to some other spots outside Tangier. The ferry ride was a lot of fun and Karim was there to meet us for the tour of Tangier. What an amazing overview of a wonderful city! We toured the coast, had our camel ride, check out the various neighborhoods of Tangier, had numerous photo ops, and finished up a tour of the Kasbah and Media and a little shopping. Karim knew everyone everywhere we went and we were often told he was the best tour guide in Tangier! We agreed! Abdoullah and Farid from Karim's team were wonderful too for our second tour of Chefchaouen the next day - you are in good hand with this tour group.

The worlds best experience - If you don’t want Karim as your guide, don’t even go to morocco. He was very attentive to our needs, took us to wonderful places, and overall made this entire experience a memory for life. Thank you to my new friend!

Exceeded Our Expectations! - Listen to me: Stop reading reviews and book this trip right now. I am confident you won't find a better experience for the price. Karim took care of everything. He booked our ferry tickets for us, met us as we exited the port, and was an exceptional guide showing us many highlights of Tangier. He was knowledgeable, personal, friendly, and generous. 100/100 experience!

Incredible experience, sights, organization, communication and safety all the way! - This whole experience was fantastic. We saw so much in so little time with Hassan as our guide and an experienced driver getting us quickly and safely from one place to the next. From camelback riding on the beach, to caving, amazing sights and architecture all along the way. Shopping at the end was somewhat high pressure at first, but we were in good hands with Hassan and Karim helping to negotiate and ensure we got exactly what we wanted. All of the incredible hand crafted carpets, instruments, pottery and souvenirs were shipped back to our home the United States and Karim continued to follow up to ensure we were completely satisfied.

Excellent Day Trip - Communication was very quick and clear. We received specific instructions quickly which made our trip seamless. Our guide Hassan “Coca Cola” was waiting for us when we arrived and he was extremely kind and knowledgeable. We did not ask to be taken to the rug store and thought it was just part of the tour. Once inside it felt the conversation was very focused on making a quick decision to buy a rug, which gave the impression of a high sales pitch. It would have been nice to know about this before hand. We would have also liked a little free time to explore the Medina on our own. Overall it was an amazing day spent with a very kind guide showing us his beautiful city of Tangier!
