Omar - King of the Tangier Tour! - We had the BEST time with our guide Omar and his driver. Both were warm, welcoming, made us feel so very comfortable. My sisters and I agree - we could not have had a better team. And Omar is a walking encyclopedia of facts, info, tidbits, and all around fascinating things to know about Tangier - past and future. He showed us a wealth of interesting places, all with great stories. Took us to shops and restaurants that bowled us over with just how great the food and merchandise were.. We were thrilled with our camel ride! Our memories are already delighting us and our families and friends - stories to tell for years to come. We loved Morocco and Omar was a very big part of making that happen.

Was fine but the problem with the ferry and the time for the ride to come back to Tarifa was not the right - Omar was a wonderful guide always attending the group and the place where we took the lunch was perfect
