First Time to Morocco - We were very happy with our tour. We were picked up promptly by Reda and he helped us easily navigate the port and crossing to Tangier. We then were greeted by Chafik, who was so kind and knowledgeable. He took us around and we didn’t have to think anything about tips, paying for entrance fees, etc… it was all included. The best parts were the markets, the caves, camel riding and the beautiful culture and sights. Too many to list! Highly recommend!

precious experience - It was a very fun and comfortable day trip. The driver and guide were very kind and reliable. Thank you. I was able to have many experiences that I would not have been able to have had if I had not participated in this tour. I was worried about the security situation, but I can now go to Morocco with peace of mind. Everything is comfortable. I can enjoy sightseeing, eating, and shopping!

Highly recommend this excursion! - They planned everything - from the pick up at the hotel, to the ferry tickets, to our time in Morocco. As information, they will ask ahead of time for all of your passport information - it is not a scam! They are doing it to get your tickets situated right away. The ride from Malaga and the ferry to Morocco is really tough for people with motion sickness (aka my mom and I). Take dramamine/ginger/whatever you need so that you don't start off the day as sick as we did. When we arrived at the first port (the ferry to take us to Morocco), we were concerned because the ferry operator shared that there are no return ferries because of the weather conditions. However, there are at least two other ports we could return back on. We chanced it, and went - THANK GOODNESS WE DID! Our guide (Shafiq - I'm not sure if I'm spelling that right) communicated with the operator to get us to the right port and home! It was worrisome at first, but they didn't even let us fret at all. Once you arrive in Morocco, you go to this public view point where you are overlooking the water/trees. We only stayed for about 15 minutes which was plenty of time to get a snack (they do accept Euros and Dirhams). We then headed to a lighthouse to oversee the point where the Atlantic Ocean meets the Mediterranean sea, then right down the street to the famous sign of both. Then we rode camels for about 15 minutes on the beach. I was in a dress with shorts underneath and it was no problem. The camels were HUGE but very friendly and seemed well taken care of. Next was Hercules cave, where the opening is in the shape of Africa upside down. Shafiq even took us to another part of the cave where they were playing live music. The fish market was next - it is SO cool to see how fresh your food is. Tons of vendors with their catch from the day. We just walked through it really quickly on the way to lunch. Lunch was probably the highlight of our day at Restaurant Vandalucia. The inside is beautiful and they were incredibly hospitable. Food was delicious - our family of 6 adults couldn't even eat everything they set out, but it was great service, food, etc. The restaurant even had musicians play while we ate. Next we went to a rug store and consignment shop. Rugs 8x12 can be anywhere from $1500-10K. We were quoted $1700 for a runner. Try to make your decision quick so that you have more time to spend in the medina with shops. We were able to go to an oil/herb shop and a leather goods store, but weren't able to make more time for some of the other vendors bc of our ferry change. After the trip, Shafiq shared some of the recipes we adored from lunch. He was incredibly kind, patient, and the whole trip was well coordinated. We love Morocco!

Unique experience - We were informed every step of the way with Reba via WhatsApp which was very convenient. A driver met us at the hotel and we had a nice drive to Tarifa. At the ferry office they printed out tickets from our vouchers which were provided. Our very informative guide met us in Tangier. We walked to where the driver was waiting. The weather was perfect for sightseeing. The highlights were the camel ride, the view of where the Mediterranean Sea meets the Atlantic Ocean, Hercules Caves and the Medina market place! So very interesting —also the information from the chemist and the traditional meal. After the ferry ride back. We were met promptly for our ride back to Malaga. It was a very enjoyable and full day.

Great Logisitics, Food, and Fun Day on Another Continent - We booked the Private Tour, and it was just myself and my husband. We were on a 10 day personal tour of Southern Spain, and wanted to take the opportunity to visit Morocco while we were so close. The highlights were: - Well organized. It was easy to meet our driver, get on the ferry, and meet our guide in Tangier without worry or concern. - The sites and stops in Tangier seemed well thought out, and were a good cross-section of experiences for one day in another country and continent. As pictured, we enjoyed the (albeit touristy, but we were tourists!) camel ride, ocean and cave views, and market. - Lunch! Our guide ordered us a huge lunch, and as people who travel for food, it was so much fun to try an array of Moroccan dishes. Our waiter said at one point, "I think...you will be very full," and he was right! - Our guides and drivers were personable and helpful. We felt comfortable the whole time, and learned A LOT about Tangier. The only reason I rate it less than one star: - Like other reviews mention, it was a shorter day than initially expected. I was really looking forward to the market, and we felt a bit rushed at the end to catch a pre-booked 5:00pm ferry back. - Unexpected sales pitches. We did not expect that the market came with a lengthy sales pitch for a Moroccan rug, spices, and other goods. While - full disclosure - we did buy a rug and some spices we are happy with, it would be good to be more mentally prepared for this aspect than we were. It is NOT a reason not to book this tour, but just be aware!

Morocco - Our guide raffik was great. We felt a little rushed on time due to the ferry changing times. The food at the restaurant was great, especially the lamb.
