Have a nice drive from Tangier Ville Port to the lush Perdicaris Parc that is shrouded in mystery and is rich in history. The view of the Mediterranean and the Iberian Peninsula are stunning.
Enjoy the majestic views of the Atlantic & the Mediterranean Seas as it's believed they both converge at this point. The lighthouse is still in operation exactly as it was founded by the eight International Powers. You can have a short break in one of the cafes.
Learn about the mysteries that this pre-historic Caves of Hercules are shrouded in. Enjoy the view of the opening into the sea that has the shape of the African Map.
Have a walking tour around the Kasbah District that stands uphill overlooking the Old Medina, the Port, the Iberian Peninsula and the Rock of Gibraltar. Enjoy the stunning views from the Bab Bhar (Gate to the Sea), then visit the Kasbah Museum. This Museum was once resided by the late Alaouite Sultan Moulay Ismail in the 17th century. It exhibits a wide selection of antiques, ancient utensils that go back to the Roman Era that resided in the northern part of Morocco, rugs, chandeliers...and the building itself is impressive.
Explore the Medina with your private tour guide, stop by a local communal oven or bakery. Learn about the local lifestyle and visit the vibrant Souks (markets) that are divided into sections based on the product they put for sale including vegetables, fruits, spices, fish, crafts, olives, coffee, chicken and much more.
Visit the American Legation that has been turned recently into a museum witnessing the long-established diplomatic relations between the Kingdom of Morocco & the United States of America. This is the first administrative building outside the USA after Independence. Morocco was the first country worldwide to recognize the Independence of the USA. The letters of correspondence between the late Sultan Moulay Suleiman and George Washington are the witness behind the historical relations between the two countries...
We had a wonderful, private day trip to Tangier! Both Amine, our driver, and Abu, our guide were excellent. Abu took the time to count cats with our 8 year old which helped her feel included and kept her engaged. We felt safe and well looked after. Plus the food was excellent! I highly recommend this tour company. It was a highlight of our trip.
My husband and I enjoyed a fabulous tour! Everything went seamlessly with the ferry and our guide was very personable and informative. Riding the camels was probably my favorite part, but I also loved the meals and all the sights and sounds of Tangier!
Hannah was an excellent guide through Tangier. We had a very pleasant day and got a wonderful sense for the beautiful Moroccon city. The booking process through Tripadvisor/Viator was a bit confusing regarding pick up, given that we were staying in a hotel in Tarifa and took the ferry from Tarifa to Tangier. The gave the impression that there was a pick up option from Tarifa port, when in fact, it is only possible to be picked up from the Tangier port or a Tangier hotel.
Super day for family of 4, two teenager daughter and parents .! Excellent female guide “ Hannah” and super Omar driver . We did costal drive , Caves, viewings of Atlantic & Med. Nature Parks, beach camel rides ..,,lovely few hours at Kasbah and medina; old city is wonderful, better than I expected ! Great trip
We saw some amazing things, but were disappointed in the visit to the market - seemed as if we were steered to locations where the guide would receive a commission.
Tangier excursions made our trip to Morocco amazing and unbelievable! We did the day trip from Sevilla and every element was planned and executed well from the driver, ferry tickets, and return transport. Communication was excellent prior to arrival as well. Our tour guide for the day was Ishmael and he was excellent! Very personable, knowledgeable, and clearly loved Tangier! I would highly recommend booking anything through them to really enjoy your time in Morocco!
We had a wonderful day in Tangiers! It started well, with our guide - Mohammed - coming to Tarifa to escort all 18 of us safely onto and off the Ferry. From there we had a most enjoyable tour which appealed to all ages and included seeing wild boar, camel riding and a short trip to the Hercules caves, then a wander through the old town to a lovely restaurant for lunch. Then THE SOUK!! How Mohammed managed not to lose any members of the party which ranged in age from 80 to 3 years old (all with different shopping priorities!!) I shall never know! He was immensely patient and kind as well as extremely knowledgable which made for a terrific and unforgettable day for everyone. Many thanks to Tangiers excursions.
There are not enough superlatives to describe how good our tour of Tangier was. Every aspect unfolded with military precision: from the pickup from and drop off back in Marbella, all the arrangements for ferries back and forth, but of course the extraordinarily high quality of the guide ( Abu, in our case, who seemed to know everyone in town) and driver. Having researched what tours cover during one day in Tangier, we did all that, and more: fantastic vantage points over the Atlantic/Mediterranean juncture and touring Hercules caves, a camel ride on the beach, a walking tour of the Casbah that offered incredible insights into both the history and present lives of Moroccans there, a fantastic lunch, the totally worthwhile visit to the American Legation, various places of worship, the varied shops offering something for everyone, and interactions with locals from every walk of life ( most memorably, the snake charmer). Ask for Abu by name: perfect English, knew a great deal about every nook and cranny of Tangier It felt like we packed a week’s worth of Moroccan highlights into one day. Having taken guided tours of various major tourist destinations, this one was tops.
I booked this private tour from a Marbella hotel round trip. Every detail was planned. The driver arrived promptly in a newer, clean and comfortable vehicle. He escorted us to the ferry counter to ensure we got on the boat. Customs was handled on the trip across the straight. Easy!! Tip: line up right away and then relax. Our tour guide and driver met us at the terminal (beautiful port). Mohamed was delightful! Our vehicle was new and comfortable. Our trip began with breakfast and a driving tour of Tangier and a guided history with stops at beautiful vistas, next a camel ride, lots of pics, finally a long walking tour of the Medina and Kazbah with history, locals, shopping, and a wonderful lunch. It was a full and exhausting day and one of the best tours we’ve had on our extensive travels. I cannot express how personal the tour felt. Mohammed lived in the area. It is clearly a close knit community and a joyful place. Morocco is gorgeous and we will return. We will use this company again and highly recommend. Bring cash for occasional tips and for your guide and driver in each direction. Treat yourself to some local goods and support their businesses. It’s a unique opportunity. 10/10.
5 Stars for Tangier Excursions! The booking process was straightforward and very easy! Our guide, Abu, was from Tangier and was an expert in every aspect of Tangier! Our day included touring the area, camel rides on the beach, seeing a snake charmer, touring the kasbah and the medina, and concluded with a fabulous meal at a restaurant with a fabulous view of the city! Highly recommend this company!
Was an absolute ripper of a day... Guide is unreal... cannot recommend this tour more .... if you don't go on this tour you're hella silly Fluent speaker of many language's.... speaks English better than me Thanks so much for the incredible experience!!!!!!
We booked a private tour from Tarifa with ferry included. Whilst the tour was dearer than some of the other options I had researched, I can honestly say you definitely get what you pay for and I could not recommend it enough. We were a family of 6 (grandparents, parents and children aged 8 & 9). The communication and organisation of the tour and tickets was excellent. We met our tour guide Abu in Tangier and he was fantastic. We had a lovely air conditioned bus with private driver. Abu is extremely knowledgable and both interesting and entertaining. He was fantastic in engaging the children and overall the little touches of sweets, holding the falcon, the snake charmer, community bakery, camel ride across the beach etc just made the trip and very special memories for all of us. The food provided on the trip (breakfast and lunch) was delicious. We were so full we couldn’t finish the lunch. Everything bar drinks at lunch and tips in the restaurant, for the guide and driver is included. The only negative is the bazar at the end. Whilst Abu was very clear before we entered that we were under no pressure to buy, the sales guy in the bazar was very pushy and a bit too pushy to the point of it being uncomfortable. We were well able to stand our ground but I could see how some people would easily be pressurised to buy/pay over the odds. That being said, it was truly a wonderful trip that we are all talking about and I wouldn’t but recommend a private tour with Tangier Excursions. It was worth every penny and was truly excellent.
Wonderful tour of the surroundings around Tangier, with beautiful sights of both the Atlantic and Mediterranean coasts, Cave of Hercules and walk through Medina. Mohammed is very knowledgeable and informative.
This tour was well organized and informative with exceptional attention to detail. Our guide "Abu" made the tour enjoyable and more fun by explaining each site separately and giving time to explore. We had an interesting day tour in Tangier from Spain thanks to Tangier Excursions and "Abu". We certainly recommend this tour of Tangier!
It was our first visit to Morocco and Africa but it was a surprisingly amazing tour experience. Tangier Excursions and Moha, the Manager of Operations, were accommodating by answering our endless questions. Our tour guide, Abu, was knowledgeable, friendly and an easy-going person. We had a great day trip to Tangier and we are already planning to go back for a multiday tour but we will definitely go with this company.
Call Tangier Excursions at 12pm to schedule a Saturday morning tour. Moha attended me instantly by whatssapp. The next day Mohamed was waiting for us at the port with a van last model to take us first through the outskirts of Tangier and then continue with a walking tour. Everything was spectacular. I was afraid for the young children but Mohamed always accompanied them and gave me a lot of security. He also took care of changing my return tickets. I don't take us to any store and advise a restaurant that was special. 100% reliable and recommended
