Our guide Fonzie was fabulous! Camel ride was perfect for all. Everyone had a wonderful time. I highly recommend this tour to everyone visiting the lovely town of Tangier
Wonderful tour of Tangier made all the more enjoyable with our excellent guide Hamza. Learned about the city’s history, its culture and visited many impressive landmarks. Thoroughly enjoyed our camel ride on the beach. Hamza went out of his way to bring us to a specific shop in the market district so we could purchase a handcrafted traditional Moroccan dress for our granddaughter. Highly recommend this tour!
This is a comprehensive tour for those who want an overview of Tangier. The guides know the area, especially the bathroom stops. The company was easy to deal with over the internet. Over charges were promptly refunded.
Great excursion when in Tangier. Hamza and Mo are a great time and are very knowledgeable. You'll see some great sites! Highly recommend.
This is a must do tour. They really care about you and whether you have a great time. Jasmine and Abdul were great! They let you adjust the experience based on what you want to do. If you are on a cruise ship…skip the cruise tour and sign up for this.
Karim is a wonderful guide who brings Tangier to life through his deep knowledge of the city and genuine love for its people and culture. Tangier is a vibrant, lively city, and there is no one better to show you around than Karim, affectionately known as the “Mayor of Tangier”! He seemed to know everyone we encountered in the parks, the Medina, and along the streets, and it was clear that he was loved and admired by all. One of the highlights of the tour was wandering through the fascinating Medina, visiting historic synagogues, exploring the bustling food market, and sampling delicious olives along the way. We also enjoyed a memorable camel ride on the beach, a delicious breakfast with refreshing mint tea, and breathtaking views of the city, its beautiful parks, and the famous Cave of Hercules. Karim made the entire experience special with his warmth, enthusiasm, and personal connections throughout the city. I highly recommend Karim to anyone visiting Tangier who wants to experience the city beyond the usual tourist sights and truly appreciate its charm, history, and culture.
The camel ride was a highlight although I was nervous about it. If you have any mobility issues that’s not for you
AMAZING tour with Jasmine! Very friendly, knowledgeable and flexible to our needs and wishes for the day. A definite must!!
What a fabulous experience! Karim shared so much about Morocco and Tangier. He made sure we saw and did everything we wanted to and more- we learned so much and fell in love with Tangier- we want to go back! From the city tour to authentic breakfast stop to the beach and camel ride to Hercules Cave and the walking tour of the city and the markets and more- Karim made sure we were well taken care of and happy. We highly recommend!
This tour with Karim was excellent. it was so fun riding the camels and love his stories and history on your beautiful city. Thank you for the first rate experience !
Wonderful experience in Tangier with our guide, Hamza!! He was knowledgable, helpful, and very kind. Perfect way to see the highlights of Tangier!
Our family group of four really enjoyed this tour. Our guide Jasmine did an excellent job showing us the sights of the city and area and providing an excellent narrative. The tour included a mix of van touring, stops at interesting sites, walking tours, a camel ride on the beach. We enjoyed the stop and snack at the restaurant near the beach. This was our first trip to Morocco and Africa
Karim the tour operator contacted us the day before and was extremely helpful and accommodating. We had a guide (Hamza) and a driver (Abdul). Both spoke English very well and were excellent!
Hamza was AMAZING!!!! He made the tour very personalized and was extremely informative. Took us to the best sites, avoided lines, felt like a VIP tour. Super knowledgeable, friendly. Would highly recommend this tour. The camel experience was amazing.
What a wonderful day with Karim! He exceeded our expectations and created an amazing experience we will always remember. Karim is highly educated, well spoken and an overall great guide. Do not pass up an opportunity to have a tour with Karim. More specifically, his English is excellent; he is conversational and informative without being overwhelming; and is very flexible in terms of options and adjusting the tour based on our interests and desires. We are fortunate to travel the world and have used Viator on multiple continents. Karim provided one of the best tours we’ve had the pleasure to experience. Due to our experience in the lovely city of Tangiers we will return to this fascinating country again in the future. Thank you again Karim. Your friends Rodney & Fraser.
Amazing experience with amazing people. Karim and Jasmine are wonderful. Responsive, proactive, enthusiastic, knowledgeable, and kind. Our tour was tailored to our needs and interests. We saw unique parts of Tanger and surrounding areas, and we got to experience the place through the eyes of a Tangerine. Jasmine was exceptional in her knowledge, preparation, and care. We had an absolutely incredible experience and would recommend this to anyone.
Our guide, Majid, was as knowledgeable as a seasoned historian, and very kind & atttentive to our needs. Everyone we met was warm and friendly. This tour exceeded our expectations!
Majid is a fantastic guide. I learned more in five hours about Moroccan culture, history, comparative religions, and Tangier adventures than in some individual college courses. He is friendly, courteous, and engaging. I can’t recommend this tour enough.
Experiencing Tangier with Majid was like spending an afternoon with a very knowledgeable Uncle. He treated us like one of his family from the very beginning. 💜 He and his driver took us to several scenic points and important landmarks throughout the city. The scenic views and a taste of the culture were wonderful, but what made it truly special was his incredible knowledge of the city. It was a history lesson, class was in session! I typically ask a lot of questions and he answered all of them with ease. A very warm and lovely man. It was a reunion of sorts for me as I had visited the city 40 yrs ago. The Medina never changes, it is definitely worth experiencing. Ask him to take you to a proper place for authentic mint tea 🍵. I cannot say enough about Majid and this tour company. He has decades of knowledge to share with you...pick his brain! As I said, it was like hanging out with a great uncle, casual, comfortable and informative. Take this tour and ask for Majid! 😎 Tony R from Canada, eh. 🙂
We had the best private tour with Majid!! His enthusiasm and knowledge is boundless. The whole tour was engaging - he made us feel like family. Our camel ride was a blast too. My group thanked me over and over for booking this tour.
Experienced driver who knew his country and shared his culture. He showed us excellent views and took us to the best Moroccan restaurant ever. He was very patient with me who near the end of of tour had no energy and strength to walk the stairs. He has become family.
We had a fabulous private tour with Majid! So knowledgeable and friendly, an excellent day! He and his driver made sure we saw everything we wanted and more. We felt very well taken care of, especially in the markets where bartering is not my forte. So much history and Majid made it engaging. I totally recommend this tour. I got lots of kudos for booking it 😎
Mage was extremely knowledgeable guide Experienced and knowledgeable.Helpful and very and very conversant.Had previous been honored as most outstanding guidei in Morocco
Karim was very easy to communicate with and we had no problem getting picked up at the ship. Our guide, Hamza, did an amazing job for us. He knows the city like the back of his hand and seemed to know almost everybody we passed. His English is excellent and he is very personable.
We did a 4 hour tour with Jasmine which was fantastic. The next day we hired Monsif who drove us to Chefchaouen and then Fes. He was 100% FANTASTIC. Highly recommend 👌
Karim was in touch with us prior to the trip to Tangier on WhatsApp. He helped us with transportation from the ferry to our Airbnb and the next day we did a walk tour with him. He was so kind and hospitable. Everyone in the Medina seemed to know him, and greeted him and us warmly. Our day with him is one of the most memorable of our entire trip! Thank you Karim! You are a treasure!
I would 10/10 recommend this tour! Karim was great to answer all of our questions right from the beginning and set up communication before our excursion. Our actual tour guide, though, was Hamza! He was great! Very knowledgeable, friendly, and really went above and beyond. He went out of his way to take pictures of us at all of the best spots, explain all of the details of each place, help us haggle prices at the market for a beautiful rug, and make sure to cater to our needs and schedule. It was a very beautiful and seemingly safe area for travel. We felt safe and comfortable the entire time with our guide! Much more so than if we had wandered around ourselves.
This tour was incredible! We learned so much about the history and culture. Jasmine was an amazing guide, she really cared about our experience and I truly feel as if I made a friend. We loved her! However, what really set them apart was the fact that they went above and beyond… they picked us up from the ferry so that we would not have to deal with taxis and took us to the hotel even though our tour wasn’t until 2 days later. Then at the end of the tour they escorted us to the ferry to make sure we made it on time. This meant so much to me, because it showed they cared about us beyond the “tour”.
Jasmine was exceptional! Pleasant and very accommodating. Tour was as explained on the site. Walking tour of the “Medina” was really cool. We saw the real Tangier. Riding the camels was a highlight. You have to do it!
Jasmine was the best! She was very knowledgeable about Tangier and was so much fun! She made sure we got to see what we wanted and more! The camel ride was awesome—an experience of a lifetime! Highly recommend!
Phenomenal day in Tangier! Karim provided great communication, even helping us coordinate our other travels in Morocco with personalized transport services. Our private tour day was customized and flexible to ensure all of our desires were achieved. We explored the new city and old Medina, Cap Spartel, Hercules Cave, Perdicardis Park, and the beautiful alleyways and souks in the Kasbah and took a camel ride on the beach. Karim directed us to licensed markets to learn about textiles, Berber rugs, Morocco’s spices and oils. Karim provided wonderful history while Abdul facilitated the transportation. The tour is a must do if you are in Tangier and Karim is the best! Highly recommend! Reliable, affordable, great experience for your cost!
The tour was beyond amazing. Karim was awesome. He took us around and explained the city old and new parts. He seemed to know almost everyone when we walked around the market and was very patient while my wife rug shopped. Camel ride was great plus ontop of Karim experience.
Karim is simply the best tour guide we’ve ever had. His knowledge of Tangier, his energy, and the way he connects with everyone in the city made this tour unforgettable. Abdul was an excellent, attentive driver. If you get Karim as your guide, consider yourself very lucky.outstanding tour guide,highly recommended
Karim was My guide and what a treasure he is! He showed Me around Tangier and shared so much local knowledge. Everything he arranged went smoothly, from the pickup in a spotless van to drop-off at the port. Patito Tours even has clearance to meet clients ship-side, which made everything extra convenient. Karim’s English is excellent, and you can tell how much he cares about his guests. We felt so welcomed — by the end of the tour, we jokingly called him “the mayor of Tangier”! Also, a big thanks to Abdullah, the driver, for his calm demeanor and skilled driving. Highly recommend!
Totally recommended, we picked up very punctual, the driver and guide Karim were very friendly, and helpful.
I give FIVE stars to the tour guide for his patience, knowledge of the city/region, pleasant energy, and immense knowledge. What a gem! It's sad, though, that because we were in awe, we again fell for another expensive purchase of Argan oil. The tour guide was so smooth in his introduction to the shop owner, claiming he was neutral; it's laughable. He showed us a picture of his wife, who remained young because of the oil, and we believed him 😄🙈. It was a great tour experience, besides the ploy.
This is possibly one of the best tours of Tanger a family can do with very experienced, friendly, communicative, and passionate locals, who showed us the highlights of the beautiful city. We were promptly picked up from our rental villa in a comfortable van, by our driver, Abdul and guide Jasmine. We went on to see some beautiful mosques, city center, Cap Spartel, the meeting point of the Mediterranean and the Atlantic, caves of Hercules, (for which we had to buy separate entry tickets). Following this, we had excellent Moroccan mint tea at a restaurant with beautiful views of the Atlantic. Then, we explored the Kasbah with its narrow streets, colorful walls, and movie shooting locations. We had a traditional lunch in the Medina and explored some of the shopping markets. Jasmine was amazing all through the day and explained the rich history of the place. She even helped us get good deals at the shops. She was very informative and constantly regaled us with tidbits about Tangier. Karim our tour operator went above and beyond and even arranged for our transportation back to the airport. Overall, this company is reliable and highly recommended. The passion they have for the city shows in the way they conduct their business. We will surely be recommending them to all our friends and family!
We had an excellent time in this tour. Both the driver and our guide were excellent and they went out of their way to make our tour great. The service was excellent, pick up time was punctual and we were asked in which order we wanted to do the tour to tailor it to our need. The camel experience was excellent. Communication with the company prior to the tour was good and they replied very fast. We would recommend this tour and this company 100%.
Tangier Patito Tours, Karim and sister Jazmine provided good communication prior to tour. They were waiting on the dock for us on time. Jazmine did the tour and was very knowledgeable and informative about history of Tangier. Pleasant to be with and would definitely recommend.
We had an incredible experience. We were cruising on the Viking Neptune and got rerouted from Casablanca to Tangier. Since we had no plans for Tangier or really hadn’t even looked at it, I started looking on Viator for a tour. I am so happy that I found this one. As soon as I booked it, the tour owner started communicating with me about what to expect, where to meet, and asking what we would like to see and experience. He was very attentive and accommodating. Our tour guide Hazem was stationed right off the ship where they said he would be with a sign with my name on it. Hazem did a fantastic job taking us to all of the highlights, telling us the history, and giving us plenty of time to take photos. He also took us to ride the camels. This no doubt was one of the best guided tours that we have ever taken. I highly recommend this tour and Hazem as a guide.
Kareem is a great guide and orator. He is very knowledgeable and compassionate. His enthusiasm in what he does shows in how he takes care of guests. There were multiple pleasant surprises during this tour, from great local “snacks”, to live Boar viewing to extra time for shopping in the old city. Overall Kareem was knowledgeable, caring and flexible. We will highly recommend him to any one who wants to visit Tangier.
We had an amazing 4-hour tour of Tangier with Karim! His communication before our arrival was superb, making everything easy and stress-free from the start. During the tour, Karim was knowledgeable, friendly, and incredibly enthusiastic. We packed in so much: camel rides, Cap Spartel Lighthouse, local markets, and more. He even went out of his way to arrange lunch for us while others shopped, which we really appreciated. Highly recommend Karim and this tour to anyone visiting Tangier!
Our tour provided by Karim and Jasmine was absolutely incredible, and it was all thanks to our amazing guide.From the moment we met the friendly,professional, and extremely knowledgeable about the city’s history, culture, and daily life. We explored markets and hidden local spots that we would have never known. Jasmin explained everything clearly, and answered all of our questions, and made sure we felt safe and comfortable throughout the tour. The tour was perfect, well organized and tailored to our interests. We topped it off with the best camel ride along the ocean! If you’re visiting Tangier and want an authentic, memorable experience,I highly recommend booking this guide. It was truly the highlight of our adventure!
This was the best port day of the 7 on our recent cruise. Karim was super pro-active with the communication in advance. Meet-up with Hamsa at the port was super easy. The tour was customized for us with extra time for my wife to shop. We saw some beautiful and amazing sights. The places we went were generally not crowded at all. Hamsa was an excellent guide. The van was super comfortable. We had a separate driver, so we were dropped off and picked up at the best spots. We had a Moroccan breakfast at a beautiful little restaurant with mostly locals there. My wife enjoyed the camel ride on a serene beach with the Atlantic as the background. Hamsa took us to a market area and helped my wife to find the things she wanted. She really enjoyed that. At the end, we were dropped right at the port. It was a great day. After being in Casablanca the day before, we expected Tangier to be crowded and hectic with tons of traffic. It ended up being totally different and for us, a much better experience. This tour was also quite a value for a private tour.
absolutely wonderful experience that made the trip extra special for us! Tailored to what we wanted to see and do, with a leisurely pace that we never felt rushed and enjoyed every minute. Great in planning details, communication, and follow through...we will definitely go back and reconnect with this team to enjoy more of beautiful Tangier. Don't hesitate to book with them; you'll love your time together!!
Had the best that Tangier offered by way of tour guide. Karim and his sister Jasmine took us to all the great sights of their city that made for a superb visit….camel ride was the highlight of trip. The Morocco tea and pancakes also a delicious treat and meeting an Imam who offered to take pics with us was quite an unexpected delight. A huge Thumbs up👍🏼👏🏼
This was a small group tour. There were 6 of us I was contacted a couple weeks early to find out what I was interested in doing. This was good so that the guide knew what our interests were. Our guide was a very experienced and knowledgeable guide. He took us to all the key sites and I was happy we were able to skip the super touristy caves. This gave us more time to shop a little at the end. But note this isn’t a shopping tour so if you want something specific let them know and they’ll take you to a reputable place. (You still need to bargain, but you won’t be totally taken) Note! We stopped at a typical Cafe for tea but if you want to eat lunch along the way let them know. We powered through and went back to our ship to eat.
Great tour. We never would have seen or understood most of what we saw if it wasn’t for Hazma’s knowledge. He tailored the tour to what we were interested in and helped us navigate the markets. He also gave us a bonus walking tour that was one of the best parts of the trip. There was great communication before the trip and we organized our airport transfer with him and Kareem as well. I highly recommend this tour.
I highly recommend Tangier Patito Tours. Tangier, Morocco was a stop for us on our Celebrity Cruise. I typically avoid the cruise ship excursions because they are too crowded. I booked this private tour of Tangier through Viator, and I am so glad that we chose this route for our first experience in Tangier. Karim was the best tour guide we could have ever hoped for and Abdul was an amazing driver! Karim reached out to me ahead of time and clearly communicated all the details that I needed to know prior to our arrival at the Tangier port. We were picked up and dropped off steps away from the cruise ship, and we never felt at risk of missing the ship's departure time. Karim was conscious of our time, curated the tour specifically for us, and ensured we packed as much as we wanted to into our guided tour. In addition to touring the city and shopping, we were able to enjoy an authentic Moroccan breakfast (which was absolutely delicious) and camel rides on the beach. We had an amazing time with Karim learning the culture of Morocco and their local traditions. Karim welcomed us like family, was patient with us, answered all of our questions, and created a memorable experience that we will never forget. Thank you to Karim and Abdul for providing us with the opportunity to create spectacular memories in Tangier!
