We have a relaxed and thoroughly enjoyable walk around Tangier with Mohsin. He was very informative and his English was great. Discovering all the hidden gems of the old town was enlightening, finishing off with a mint tea at the Grand Socco whilst listening to the Friday call to prayer

How can I duplicate Anas to guide me through any city? As attentive, personable, and easy-going as he is knowledgeable, Anas is clearly well-liked around Tangier and deserves it. He looked out for us in every way––steering us toward authentic experiences, ensuring vendors gave us fair prices, and protecting our time and safety. His local standing gives him a level of access that made his tour a highlight of my family's trip. I left feeling far more tapped into Tangier's history and rhythm than I could've on my own. Cheers to you, Anas!
Booking a tour with Anis was one of the best decisions my mom and I made during our trip to Morocco. His knowledge of Tangier's history and culture was incredible, but what really set him apart was how personal and genuine the experience felt. He wasn't just showing us the sights, he was introducing us to his city. We explored the medina, wandered through local markets, enjoyed an incredible breakfast pastry, visited the fish market, stopped at a wonderful oil and perfume shop, and spent plenty of time shopping without ever feeling rushed. We would have been completely lost navigating the medina on our own, and there's no way we would have discovered so many hidden gems without him. Anis was patient, thoughtful, and happy to answer every question we had. By the end of the tour, he truly felt like a friend rather than just a guide. He even went out of his way to connect us with another excellent guide for the rest of our Morocco trip. If you're looking for an authentic, relaxed, and memorable experience in Tangier, book with Anis. We couldn't recommend him more highly!
We have had the pleasure of working with this guide in Tangier through our Morocco-based travel coordination activity. He is professional, reliable, knowledgeable and very pleasant to work with. His communication is clear, he understands the needs of travelers, and he brings a warm local perspective to each experience. We truly appreciate his seriousness, kindness and attention to detail, and we would be happy to work with him again for future arrangements in Tangier and Northern Morocco.
Anas was incredible!! He was very knowledgeable, fun energetic, and took us to eat at the best restaurant which was delicious! I highly recommend anybody going to Morocco to use his service services. They will not be disappointed.!!!
We met Abdul near the cruise ship gate and walked all around the Casbah and Medina. The tour consisted of just my husband and me —and we had a very personalized and informative experience. Tangier did not disappoint and we thought our guide Abdul was the best !
Small hiccup at start in meeting guide but good communication. Very polite and well spoken gentleman, named Khalid. Great explanation of tour and route. History and background to Tangiers set scene nicely. Few hills and steps to negotiate but very manageable. Great little nuggets of information whilst walking through alleys and Medina. Cafe Baba for mint tea my favourite due to its history and famous visitors. A must do. American Litigation museum and Anglican church fabulous. 100% worth it. Thank you Khalid.
We had a great tour of the sites of Tangier with a very knowledgeable and personable guide (Abu Bakr). He tailored the experience to our interests and made sure that we were catered to. It was a treat to have such personalized attention. Would definitely recommend this experience
Absolutely wonderful! Mr. Mohsin was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and endeared us to the local culture. We saw so much in a few short hours, we never would’ve accomplished this on our own. Just getting through the Medina was quite the experience. We were coming off a cruise ship and did not arrive as planned, but no worries. They were incredibly helpful and accommodating to our time schedule. Highly recommend!
Meriem was the perfect tour guide for my 4 hour city/old town tour of Tangier. She customized a well orchestrated array of places to visit with excellent commentary spoken in very good English for me to fully understand. She knew just all the right places and nooks to visit for great views and tasty foods. It was probably the best tour I’ve had so far while in Morocco!
You should definitely have a qualified and certified tour guide for the Tangier experience. That being said, we hit the proverbial jackpot with Ahmed. He absolutely made our day very special and memorable. His encyclopedic knowledge of Tangier’s history, both ancient and current was incredible, in addition to being an incredibly charming and fun guy to spend the day with. Unfortunately the Kasbah was closed because of the Eid-al-Adha holiday, but there was plenty to see and do. And we’ll definitely be back.
An unforgettable experience with Tangier Explorer! Anas is an outstanding tour guide — knowledgeable, friendly, and truly passionate about the rich history and culture of Tangier. He made every stop on the tour come alive with stories, hidden gems, and personal insights you won’t find in any guidebook. His professionalism and warm personality made the entire experience smooth and enjoyable. I highly recommend Tangier Explorer to anyone who wants to discover the real soul of the city. Thank you, Anas, for a memorable adventure!
This private tour was AMAZING! Bilal was very professional and very knowledgeable, and made us feel very welcome in Tangier. We purchased a private tour, and we indeed got a private tour (no late-minute additions). Thank you Anas and Bilal for your excellent services!
This might have been my favorite excursion ever. I believe that the other 6 people in my group would agree. Anas took us to Kasbah and Medina in Tangier. He was so informative and entertaining. He made sure all of us were happy with the pace. We saw many areas that I don't think are standard on a tour. We stopped for hot mint tea, an amazing lunch, a discussion about spices and natural remedies and visited a beautiful textile shop. We intend to revisit Morocco and spend more time based upon Anas' introduction to his country.
The tour was excellent! Our guide Bilal was OUTSTANDING: professional and knowledgeable. We really learned a lot about Tangier and Morocco. Anas and Tangier Explorer were a pleasure to work with, very responsive and very responsible. Highly recommended! Gracias Bilal por tus atenciones y por enseñarnos tanto de Tánger.
Jasmine was warm and very knowledgeable about Tangier. She is the 5th generation in her family to live here. Her English was perfect and she shared many facts about the many areas of the city that we visited.
Great guide. Truly a local. Wonderful knowledge of Tangier and very kind and hospitable. No pressure to purchase things.
We had the best experience with Anas as our guide in Tangier! I highly recommend him—he’s both incredibly professional and a lot of fun. Beyond the historical facts, Anas shared fascinating stories about local life and took us to the most authentic spots in the city. Even after the tour, he kept in touch and gave us valuable tips for the rest of our trip. Truly the best guide we’ve ever had!
Best guide of Tanger and Marocco!! You will never regret Fluent English French and Arab so kind with us We were 4 girls he helped us through all the holiday!
I was paired up with Rabab and had an incredible experience! She is extremely knowledgeable and does a great job of sleuthing out one's interests to cater the tour. For me, this meant indulging in maps and architecture. For you, it could be anything! She is also quite friendly, which allows for lovely interactions with locals and fun experiences at the market. I would highly recommend starting your experience of Tangier with this tour: it's the perfect way to gain historical and cultural context with the added benefit of meeting a new Moroccan friend.
An Unforgettable Journey Through Tangier with Mr. Anas Our group of five friends from New York had the privilege of exploring Tangier’s Caaba and the Old City under the expert guidance of Mr. Anas. From the moment our tour began, it was evident that we were in the hands of a true historian and storyteller. Mr. Anas’s deep knowledge and engaging explanations brought the city’s rich past to life. He masterfully connected pivotal historical events, offering a fascinating perspective on the profound influence of Muslims in Andalusia. His insights not only enhanced our understanding of Morocco’s cultural heritage but also helped dispel common misconceptions, leaving us with a newfound appreciation for the country and its people. Beyond his expertise, Mr. Anas’s warmth and enthusiasm made the tour feel personal and immersive. He effortlessly blended history, culture, and local anecdotes, making every stop along the way truly memorable. If you’re looking for a tour that is both intellectually enriching and deeply engaging, look no further than Mr. Anas. He is, without a doubt, one of the best guides in Tangier. Highly recommended!
Our guide, Anas Zerrad, provided an excellent overview of the history, culture and people of Tangier. His knowledge, warmth, and experience made for a memorable experience.
We got a great chance to get a wonderful female guide in Tangier. We had an excellent personal tour and chats with Rababe around the old town. Even with limited time she could "read" our mind and interests perfectly. She also pointed out good restaurants to get a delicious real local food experience. We got so lucky. Thanks Rababe for being there for us.
Rababe is the best private tour guide ever! Smart, conversational, friendly, knowledgeable… and an amazing smile. My wife and I felt like we were walking with a friend. I am a retired history teacher , and I was reminded how much I don’t know. My wife is a journalist, and Rababe answered all of questions with enthusiasm.
Soukaina is an excellent guide and I very happy that I took this walking tour. We made a circuit around the Old Town to see the key sights and talk about life in Tangier in years gone by and currently. I learned a lot and I would highly recommend Soukaina as a guide. She speaks English perfectly and she is extremely knowledgeable about her home and her country. Don't miss this opportunity to get to know Tangiers!
What a treat to take in the ancient and bustling streets of the Kasbah & Medina, and to experience the culture, history, and art of this beautiful city with the best guide in Tangier! Anas has a warm and engaging style, he knows his city & its people, and he is deeply passionate about sharing the beauty and secrets of Tangier. I also liked that Anas was attentive and flexible, and nicely tailored the itinerary to our interests (e.g. Matisse in Tangier). All of this made for a fun and excellent walking tour. We felt like we were spending time with a friend who lives in Tangier more than a tour guide, and so we really enjoyed our experience discovering the city with Anas. We will definitely reach out to him to continue our exploration on our next trip. Highly recommended!
We walked in the Kasbah, visited the museum and did some shopping in the typical souk. Anas is friendly and cool. Good tour!
Brilliant tour from Anas, who gave us a great insight into Tangier which we would not have got otherwise. Thank you Anas!
I so enjoyed walking round with Anas. He is a font of knowledge and very well read. I now have some excellent book recommendations too. I was particularly interested in Matisse’s time here so that was all covered and not forgotten. The rich history, kasbah, medina and the local markets, with stories of all who were here…. And a cup of tea and chats about cultures and believes. A very generous man and super guide. Highly recommended.
Fabulous time with a fabulous guide - thank you so much - great memories of this trip - particularly loved climbing Cap Spartel and a bit thank you for Tangier art recommendations.
Fantastic afternoon with Abir as our personal guide . She led us through the maze of alleys and streets of the old Medina, telling us all about the history culture and religion of her beautiful city Tangier
Anes is a passionate, helpful and prepared guide. He knows how to combine historical and archaeological skills with affability and kindness. If you want to discover a hidden Tangier far from postcard images, he is the right person for you
Our guide Anas took us on a tour through Tangier's medina and to the kasbah. Since we have been to Morocco many times, Anas gave us a more tailor-made tour, focussing on Tangier specific interesting facts and sights. We would definitely recommend Anas!
Anas is a reminder of how a good guide can be transformative in experiencing a new place. Supremely well informed, erudite, humorous and warm, Anas was able to bring Tangier’s past and present to life, brilliantly communicating its vitality and history. He could not have been more diligent in making sure that we were entertained and informed in every respect, and the memory will endure.
I recently had the pleasure of joining a tour led by Anas Zerrad, and it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. Anas possesses a deep knowledge of the Tangier city and its history, bringing every location to life with fascinating stories and insights. Their enthusiasm and passion for guiding are evident in every tour, making the experience not only informative but also highly engaging.
Anas Zerrad was an amazing guide.He took us all over the city and was extremely knowledgeable and helpful in every way. He know the history and the best shops ,restaurants and hotels etc I wish I knew him before I planned my trip
Anas is an amazing guide of this wonderful city. His knowledge of the area is incredible and he's a really nice guy. It was a pleasure to spend time with him exploring and experiencing all the cultural gems hidden away through the city.
This tour was a great breath of fresh air seeing the city of Tetouan! Our guide Anas was very informative and engaging, we enjoyed getting to know him and the beauties of his country. I would recommend this tour with Anas to anyone looking to see Morocco and appreciate its charm.
A very serious and professional tour, from a very historical and academic point of view, not pushing you to shops and bazars.
This was an amazing homey tour and it was all thanks to Anas. He took us all around the city of Tangier and showed us hidden gems that were breathtaking! Anas is one of the most kind, funny, and reliable tour guide I've ever met and he will tailor your trip to suit your ever need and want. Dont think twice and select him for your tour asap!
Anas was the perfect guide to show us the secrets of Tangiers! Very knowledgeable and a great person. He new how to manage our time perfectly. Highly recommend him!!!
This was so much more than a tour to me and my family. Because of the Expertise and wealth of historical knowledge that Anas has, He made us feel right at home from the moment we first met him. Perhaps one of my favorite memories of all time was sharing a traditional Moroccan meal in the home of one of the locals who worked tirelessly all day on a gorgeous four course meal. This is a memory that would not have taken place without the facilitation and expertise of Anas. Do yourself a favor and book this tour,, because once you do, you’ll have a friend for life. He is truly one of the most intelligent and interesting people that I have ever met in the world.
Anas was fantastic — highly knowledgeable, friendly, good sense of humor. He answered all of our questions and was generous with his time and effort. Would highly recommend!
Anas was a great guide for my first time in Tangier! He provided lots of background on the places we visited (a combination of well and lesser known sights) and asked questions to tailor the tour to my interests. I would definitely use his guide services again!
We had a wonderful afternoon walk with Anas exploring the Kasbah and Medina. As a born and bread local Anas has a charming mix of local knowledge and historical facts to share. I especially enjoyed the literary references. Anas was extremely kind, with a great sense of humor and generous spirit ensuring we experienced all of the treats of the Medina. I highly recommend the tour.
Anas is an energetic and entertaining guide who is clearly as well informed about the city of Tangier as he is about Moroccan history. He imparts his knowledge in an engaging way to ensure no dull moments. He comes highly recommended - 5 stars all the way!
Anas is the coolest guy and really gave us an insiders view of the city! He had so many helpful connections and advice. It really made our experience in Tangier so smooth and amazing. Hope to return soon and will definitely reach out to him again. :)
Very professional, dozens of proven historical stories about Tangiers. I highly recommend Anas for this experience. Anas is serious, patient and very keen on giving accurate facts and details during the tour.
Anas was incredibly knowledgeable in the history and culture of Tangier and Morocco generally. He’s such a warm, open, kind, and welcoming person, it feels like a friend is showing you around their beloved city- if that friend was a huge history, music, literature, and culture buff. I got to experience and learn so much more than I would have on my own. Plus, traveling solo to Tangier, touring with Anas took away all the anxiety solo travel often has. It was so enriching spending my time in Tangier with Anas and I would HIGHLY recommend him to both solo travelers and groups, especially those who genuinely want to learn and have an open and thoughtful person to answer their questions. Thank you, Anas, my tour with you was my favorite part of my trip!
Anas is a wonderful guide. Navigating us expertly through the city’s history, commerce, and gastronomy, he made the Medina and Kasbah come to life with his passion for Tangier — sharing both its past and its exciting future.
