What a great way to see the beautiful city of Tangier!! This excursion was excellent and our guide, Magid, was an excellent host and provided so much knowledge and you could feel the excitement and love he has for the city. I would recommend this comprehensive tour to anyone visiting Tangier
What an incredible and thorough tour with one of the best tour guides, Magid, I have ever experienced. Magid was such an incredible guide and really made me love this tour by not only his kindness but also his knowledge and passion in exploring Tangier. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to a thorough overview of Tangier in a short amount of time!
Great experience, very knowledgeable guide, friendly, was longer than 3 hours, small group Be prepared for a long walk
Wonderful walking tour of the Tangier Kasbah and Medina with Majid. Majid is knowledgeable offering current and historic information about Tangier and Morocco. It was a nice walking pace seeing part of the Kasbah and Medina I would not have seen on my own.. It was good to learn able the people and culture. Thanks Majid!!
Jasmine was very knowledgeable and a great guide. The walking tour was at sedate pace with so much to see along the way. Would highly recommended
Our guide was very knowledgeable and provided us with a good overview of the history of Tangier. We enjoyed seeing many aspects of the city and the market. He made sure we went to stores where we would get locally made items. Overall a good day!
It’s definitely a walking tour. Souks were disappointing. Lot of junk. But a fascinating city. Good history of Jews in Morocco
Our tour of Tangier couldn’t have been any better. We had the best guide around, which was pointed out to us by numerous other guides and shop owners on our tour. Thank you, Karim! If you are lucky enough to get Karim as your guide, you won’t be disappointed.
Excellent tour by Jasmine. We bonded during the tour. She took us all over the fort and medina. She was fun, informative, and spoke perfect English without a noticable accent. The short van ride was perfect. The van was super clean, and the driver was very helpful. We highly recommend this tour.
Great tour with Majid in Tangier. From the top of the Kasba, we were guided back to the port. Majid was welcoming, very knowledgeable and happy to impart lots of facts and interesting information. We visited the Culture Museum and enjoyed Mint Tea. Thank you Majid for a great day. Highly recommend this tour.
What a wonderful time we had exploring and learning about the life and history of Tanger, Morocco. Our guide was so entertaining and you could tell everyone we pasted loved him KARIM!!! And we can’t forget about his lovely friend and driver Abdul. I would totally recommend a private tour.
The tour was wonderful. Karim knows the area well and took very good care of us. I would not hesitate to recommend him for your next tour.
What a lovely morning I had with my guide Jasmine! The tour was tailored to my pace and heat tolerance lol. I told her I was a photographer and she made sure to take me to picturesque spots while also sharing the history and charm of the real Tangier. Highly recommend this company for your tour needs!
Masjid was a very experienced and knowledgable guide.
We had such a great day exploring Tangier with Karim. He was knowledgeable, friendly, funny, and made the entire experience feel relaxed and personal. What we really enjoyed was getting to talk with him about everyday life in Morocco, family, culture, traditions, and all the little things you don’t necessarily learn on a typical tour. Karim made us feel very welcome and comfortable from the beginning, and by the end of the day it felt much more like spending the day with a local friend than simply being on a guided tour. We saw so much, learned a lot, laughed a lot, and came away wishing we had more time to explore Morocco. Karim even told us we now have family in Tangier, so naturally I’ve already informed him that means we expect dinner next time we visit!
Exploring Tangier with a local guide made all the difference in our trip. Navigating the winding alleyways of the Medina and the Kasbah can feel overwhelming on your own, but our guide Jasmine seamlessly paced the tour, leading us to hidden viewpoints, historic spots, and local artisan shops without any sales pressure. We ended the day with fresh mint tea at The Grand Cafe. We absolutely recommend this tour!
I booked this walking tour with Majid at the last minute. My wife was unable to accompany me, so it was truly a personalized one-on-one tour. As other reviewers have commented, Majid is passionate about Morocco and its rich history. He is a gifted communicator who I understand is fluent in eight languages. (Majid is also a very nice and patient gentleman!) The tour was a truly enjoyable experience!
A perfect casual yet informative way to wander through the Kasbah and the Old Town. Great for solo female travelers wanting to see the Medina but a little intimidated by the meandering streets. Jasmine, my guide was lovely to be with including our refreshing break at the tours end.
Today, our guide, Majid gave us the most wonderful tour of Tangier. He is the most knowledgeable guide that my husband and I have ever met. He made the history come alive and we really enjoyed our museum visit. We recommend this tour and this guide most highly!!!
Excellent experience. Jasmine our guide was great. Saw so much of Tangiers. She was very knowledgeable and we loved the stop at the cafe for traditional mint tea.
Jasmine guided around the Kasbah & Medina Souks for 3hrs. She was very friendly and knowledgeable about the history and politics of Tangiers. Her tour was excellent. 10/10
Would thoroughly recommend this tour. Communication leading up to the tour was very good. We were met promptly at our accommodation by tour guide, Majid, who was excellent, a wealth of information and knowledge gained from years of experience.
Our tour guide, Majid, made our walking tour memorable.. from prehistoric facts about tangier, colonialisation to the different areas in tangier symbolizing the different nations that occupied the area. I was in awe when I heard all the facts! An ancient place with so much history to share. Thank you, Majid!
Very very good! He was awake for 3 hours and we had 4 and a half hours, he knew a lot about the city and we visited the best known places
I booked this tour for my wife and 3 adult children as our cruise was calling at Tangier and none of the cruise line tours were atttactive due to content and price. Communication pre-tour was good and meeting point was agreed within minutes walk of the cruise terminal. Our guide was easy to find as he had a board clearly displaying my name. Although it was booked as a 3-hour walking tour he led us to a taxi, large enough for all of us, to take us to the high point of the Alcázar to start the walking tour from there because of the heat. This was complementary. Our guide was very knowledgeable, as you would expect, and explained the history of Morocco in general and Tangier in particular. He then led us on an excellent tour including a brief refreshment stop which was included. He was flexible on showing us anything we wanted to see and didn’t just lead us to stores with commission for him. The tour ended a short easy walk from the cruise terminal. I strongly recommend this tour (our guide was Majid) to anyone visiting Tangier.
This tour was the perfect introduction to Tangier. A friend and I booked the tour a few weeks in advance, and the owner/operator, Karim, texted me almost immediately to confirm everything. Communication before the tour was excellent. We were asked if we'd be open to sharing our private tour with two other travelers, making us a group of four. We were happy to say yes, and it ended up making the experience even more fun. Our guide, Jasmine, was absolutely wonderful. She was warm, knowledgeable, and genuinely kind. Rather than feeling like we were being led through a checklist of sights, it felt like we were exploring the city with a friend who knew every hidden street, every story, and all the right people. Not to mention as a follow woman, seeing the city from that perspective was just incredible. We wandered through the Medina to the Kasbah, strolled down quiet streets lined with beautiful architecture, met some memorable locals, browsed bustling markets (the olive displays alone are worth seeing!), admired the exteriors of several stunning mosques, and visited a historic synagogue. Learning that it's lovingly maintained despite Tangier's Jewish community now numbering fewer than 20 people was a moving example of Morocco's respect for people of all faiths. Jasmine was also incredibly generous throughout the tour. I won't spoil the surprises for future guests, but everything she shared with us was delicious and thoughtfully chosen. By the end of the experience, I felt like I had gained much more than an overview of the city. I came away with a genuine appreciation for Tangier, its history, and the warmth of its people. I would recommend this tour to anyone visiting Tangier, especially if it's your first time.
We booked a tour with Majid and he was a wonderful guide, who was passionate and incredibly knowledgable about Tangier. My wife and I booked this at the very last minute and the company were incredibly flexible and even changed the time to suit us as we had a slight change of plans. Majid looked after us well, gave us amazing insights into Tangier's history, and even shared personal stories which made the whole tour seem so much more authentic. The tour was incredibly good value for money, and we spent a lot longer than originally planned with him and he was happy to do this with no concerns about rushing us. The tour group was just my wife and I, and so it was very personal and special experience. Tangier old town is an amazing unique place with a vibrant atmosphere and Majid brought it alive perfectly, we will make sure to book him again when we bring our daughter next time around. Thank you Majid and Tangier Patito Tours. Paul & Teresa
This tour agency is family run by Karim and his family. Prior to the tour, Karim communicated all the details the day before, so we were clear and there was no guessing. Majid, our tour guide, was promptly at our guest house at 10 min before the tour start time. He was extremely knowledgeable and took us through the old town while sharing nuggets from the history of Tangiers. His english was impeccable. When we were overcharged by a vendor while on our tour, Karim took it personally and stepped in to provide us with a cash refund out of pocket, and insisted he would take the merchandise back to the vendor himself. Ive never encountered this level of customer centricity in any tour anywhere. I will hopefullu return to Tangiers soon, and when I do, I hope to deal only with Karim.
We were staying near the train station but wanted a chance to visit the Kasbah area so this tour was perfect. Our guide Majid was very communicative prior to our meeting time and picked us up at our hotel. We drove to the Kasbah and learned so much about the fascinating history of Tangier. The tour includes admission to a couple of museums. Our guide was super knowledgeable and very engaging. He was happy to answer our questions. We strolled through the neighborhood and it was lovely. We sat for a bit in a cafe and enjoyed some mint tea before heading off to the Medina. We were dropped back at the hotel off by our driver. The tour is 3-4 hours so plan accordingly.
The tour was great. My guide Majid is one of the most interesting people I've ever met. Knowledgeable, kind, and steeped in culture. I could not have seen Tangier the same way without him. The experience is well worth it.
I've had the good fortune to travel to many places and have used many guides. The quality of a guide can make or break your experience in a new place. I can honestly say that the two days my wife and I spent with Karim were among the best travel experiences of our life. Karim is kind, warm, and funny individual with an exceptional knowledge base of Morocco's history and culture. He took the time to understand exactly what we wanted out of our experience and he went above and beyond to deliver on it. Karim enjoys a certain celebrity status in Tangier and is recognized and greeted by everyone in the public and private sector. He cares deeply for his guests and is committed to their satisfaction. I highly recommend Karim and his team.
Karim and the driver, Abdul go above and beyond any tour experience we've had. Drove to multiple locations to get the 'complete' Morocco experience! Everyone knew Karim ( even the local cats 😃) his knowledge of cultural sites and familiarity with area shops exemplified his love for his home city. He assisted us in several purchases (rugs and spices) on asking where we might find similar style and quality clothes that he was wearing....He LITERALLY gave us 'the shirt off his back'! The tour went far beyond the allotted time and experience. The food / restaurant recommendations were superb. We've traveled extensively, but this tour experience topped all.
Our guide, Majid, was wonderful. His Knowledge of Morocco was shared in such an interesting way. He guided us to Authentic Moroccan Shops so we were not wasting our money on cheap souvenirs, which was greatly appreciated. As the Tour is Named, it certainly is a Walking Tour. The streets and alleyways were cobblestone and lots of uphill walking to get to the Kasbah. The market itself was crowded but never had any problems. Enjoyed our morning with Majid.
The tour guide, Jasmine, is very well-informed, speaks amazingly good English (knows a lot of expressions), is patient and responsive to your needs. In my case, I needed help going down stairs, she was very nice about it. We talked about personal matters, that was my choice, and interesting for me to hear about her life. For shopping, I was interested in women's clothing and Moroccan healthy beauty products. Her two shops worked out very well. I am very happy with my purchases. She is a top guide, this is from someone who is a tour guide in NYC!
We had a great day in Tanger with our Guide Majid. We had some late changes in our request for the day, and it was met by the tour operator and guide. This was a perfect one day trip, and everything was handled perfectly. Highly recommended
Great tour around the Medina in Tangier. Our group of six enjoyed our walk with Jasmine. Prior to our arrival we provided our goals for our visit and the walk was tailored for us. Beautiful day exploring the area and trying local Moroccan mint tea.
Our tour guide was very knowledgeable highly recommended this tour. She did a wonderful job. We also had 2 people in their 70’s so very patient on walking.
If you're visiting Tangier, stop everything and book Lina. From the very first moment, she felt less like a tour guide and more like a brilliant local friend who just happened to know everything about this incredible city. Her English is excellent (one of 4 languages she speaks), her knowledge is deep and her warmth is completely genuine. She listened to what we were excited about and shaped the entire day around us ... customizing every detail based on our interests and even giving us extra time because she genuinely wanted to make sure we had the full experience. We didn't just take a tour of Tangier. We fell in love with it ... and that's entirely because of Lina. Smart as a whip, warm, funny and completely committed to making sure her guests leave loving this city as much as she does ... this girl is the real deal. We wrapped up with an unforgettable authentic Moroccan lunch that felt like the perfect ending to a perfect day. If you want a guide who actually cares ... Lina is your gal. Highest possible recommendation. We cannot say enough good things about her.
Karim was an excellent tour guide. We didn’t know a lot about Tangier but he managed to explain things in a way that made it feel like home. He went out of his way to accommodate our interests.
Hamza was an amazing tour guide. Very friendly and knowledgeable. Made sure I was ok at every turn and happily helped me take pictures. 100% recommend this tour to anyone wanting to see the highlights of Tangier
The guide Majid was hugely knowledgable, fascination to listen to with insights into not only Tangier but all other places in Morocco
We had a wonderful afternoon learning about the history of Morocco and seeing the highlights. Our guide was so knowledgeable and helpful. Especially when he took us through the market. What I loved most was, Tangier was very authentic and that was unexpected. We throughly enjoyed our afternoon!
Jasmine was an excellent, knowledgeable guide. The tour was leisurely and hit the highlights of the Kasbah and the medina.
Jasmine with Tapatio tours. Great knowledge of the old town family has lived there over 80 years. Very nice 4 person tour.
It was just the 2 of us and the guide which made it so easy to get around the narrow streets. If you were with 20 people it would be a mess. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable of the history of Tangier and Morocco, very informative and easy to talk and ask questions with. We enjoyed him very much and recommend him. I believe our guides name was something like Mashik (?).
Karim has great knowledge of Tangier and provides some personal perspectives on the culture that are quite interesting. He will work with you to adapt his tour to your interests.
Wonderful tour with Jasmine who is a very informative, personable and nice guide! We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and all of the sites that we were able to see. Would highly recommend this tour!
Karim was amazing. He took very good care of me as I was a solo traveler. He is very well liked by so many people and he is very knowledgeable and made the experience very enjoyable.
Our local guide Jasmine speaks fluent English, she is very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. We learnt a lot of Moroccan history, culture, customs and traditions from her during our 3+ hours tour. Jasmine also tried to accommodate our requests. Her advice was extremely helpful and she answered all our questions. For the final part of the tour we did a bit shopping as we were looking for something unique to take home. Jasmine brought us to the trustworthy shops. The shop owners were all willing to provide information on their products. No pressure or obligation to buy. Having said that, we eventually managed to buy some famous Argan oil products, as it was reasonably priced with outstanding quality. Overall a wonderful guided tour in the old town of Tangier. Highly recommended.
Excellent tour through the Kasbah and Medina. Jasmine was knowledgeable and easy to share conversation on all topics related to Moroccan history and culture. She also tailored the tour to our particular interests.
