If you are visiting Tangier for the first time, this is a wonderful way to experience the city. We enjoyed the historic Medina, the Kasbah, the local shops, and the spectacular ocean views. Hercules Cave was impressive, and the camel ride added something unique to the experience. A memorable introduction to northern Morocco.

This had the potential to be a great tour; however, it turned sour very quickly. Our first guide met us at the port and took us for a great drive around the city. We also stopped at several places of interest and had a great adventure riding camels. After that; however, our driver turned us over to a second "tour guide" who was going to take us through the medina, to the kasbah, and to a lunch. Immediately this guide brought us to a rug shop, where he left us for an extended period of time. We had no interest in purchasing rugs. After that he took us to a oil shop and then a shop with expensive jewelry and leather goods. Each time he would leave us, and being older and not knowing our way around we didn't feel comfortable venturing out on our own. After each stop I told him we were not interested in spending money on expensive items. I'm sure these shops belonged to his friends and/or relatives and he was receiving commission. After the last stop I told him we wanted small souveniers only and were not interested in going into any more expensive shops. At that point he seemed angry and he brought us back to our driver who took us back to the ship. So our 5-6 hour tour turned out to be 4 hours and there was no lunch provided or visit to the kasbah. We paid $185 for this tour and I don't feel it was worth that cost given the shopping experience in the medina.
Mohammed, our driver, did an excellent job of showcasing Tangier’s most iconic landmarks and capturing our family photos.
Mohammed provided a wonderful experience. He explained to use everything along the road and always smiling and took his time to explain to us. 100 % recommended.
Oussama was the most AMAZING tour guide, driver, and friend. I am studying abroad with my friend group and we would’ve been so lost without him. He was so hospitable, and kind to each and every one of us ensuring our safety and having amazing experiences. He felt like part of our group and got to go on this adventure with us. you cannot visit Morroco without going with Oussama. It was so fun, and a memory I will NEVER forget!
Absolutely amazing! Ousamma was truly the best part of this experience. He made our short trip easy to navigate and FUN. I don’t think this trip would’ve been doable without him. He will give you the best tours, and take you to the coolest places. If you’re thinking about booking with him JUST DO IT! It is well well worth the money.
Oussama was amazing, from the pick up to the drop off. Amazing playlist and energy. He is perfect for this job, personable and great with people. Book him to be your guide. We only had him for a short weekend and were super sad to leave. The places he took us were beautiful and gave us an amazing tour in Tangier.
Oussama was the best driver and tour guide ever! He made us feel so comfortable and welcomed into this beautiful country. He made sure me and my friends were all having a good time and we have made memories here we will never forget! Best trip ever! Thank you Oussama!
Oussama was an incredible driver and guide during our time in Morocco. He was always on time, drove safely, and made us feel completely comfortable throughout the trip. His local knowledge, flexibility, and warm personality turned every stop into a special experience. We discovered hidden gems, learned so much about Moroccan culture, and never had to worry about a thing. Highly recommend touring with Oussama!
Mohammad was very informative and friendly. He explained everything about the culture. I like how proud he is of his family and his culture. I’m already making plans to come back to Morocco in the future. Thank you for giving me a good experience..
The tour and tour guide were amazing. I was a bit late getting into Tangier for my scheduled tour and was worried that it would be cancelled. My tour guide Oussama was the BEST. He was very patient with me and still took me to see the top sites of the tour including the sunset camel ride on the beach. I am so very grateful to have experienced Tangier on this tour. I highly recommend this tour to others.
This tour was exactly what we hoped for. Mehdi created a very comfortable and easygoing experience while still keeping everything organized and efficient. We were able to explore Tangier at a great pace, see some beautiful places, and learn about the city in a natural way. Nothing felt forced or rushed. It was the perfect balance between sightseeing and simply enjoying the moment. We would absolutely book this again.
Communication was easy, the itinerary was perfect for a half-day visit, and we learned so much about Moroccan culture. One of the best private tours we have ever taken.
We skipped the cruise ship tour and booked this private one with Nizar-best decision ever. Comfortable ride, flexible schedule, and zero pressure. Nizar explained things in a very easy, down-to-earth way. We saw the real Tangier, not just tourist stops, and still made it back to the ship early.
Cruise excursions can sometimes feel rushed and crowded. This was the exact opposite. Mehdi designed a private experience that felt exclusive and personalized. We avoided large groups and enjoyed Tangier in comfort and style. The panoramic views overlooking the meeting of two seas were unforgettable, and the drive itself was scenic and relaxing. What stood out most was Mehdi's professionalism confident, knowledgeable, and attentive to every detail. We returned to our ship not only on time but with a completely different perspective of the city.
Out of all our cruise stops, Tangier was the one we were most curious about and booking this private tour was the smartest decision we made. Mehdi was waiting for us right at the port, organized and easy to find, which immediately removed any stress. From there, the experience unfolded seamlessly. We explored scenic coastal roads, breathtaking viewpoints, and key historic landmarks, all at a comfortable pace. Mehdi's explanations were clear, engaging, and insightful without ever feeling overwhelming. He managed the timing perfectly, ensuring we returned to the ship with plenty of time to spare. If you're docking in Tangier, don't hesitate this is the way to see the city properly.
This was not just a tour - it was a cultural experience. Amin explained every detail about local life, traditions, and history. We loved walking through the Kasbah and taking photos of the stunning viewpoints. Everything was perfectly organized and very comfortable.
Hamza is the kind of guide every traveler hopes to find. Friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about Tangier. We explored local areas, enjoyed beautiful views, and felt completely taken care of the entire time. Highly recommended!
This tour was the perfect introduction to Tangier. Fuad shared history, culture, and local insight in a way that was interesting and easy to follow. We appreciated how well paced everything was. The entire experience felt polished and professional.
Our driver/guide, Mourad was outstanding! He communicated with us ahead of time, was extremely prompt and very friendly. We learned so much about Tangiers from him. The camel ride was incredible, set against the Atlantic Ocean on a beautiful beach. Nizar took us expertly through the Medina and showed us the beauty and the good places to shop and eat. Great experience! Love the surprises of Tangiers!
Morad was an incredible guide. Very knowledgeable, patient, interesting, and a very lovely personality. Spending the day with him was such a pleasure. Don't hesitate to book with this company. They are excellent on communication and will provide you a wonderful experience
Very knowledgeable. Your guides were very pleasant. Saw a lot of interesting things. Planers of time to see it all
Excellent tour and highly recommended if you are visiting Tangiers. We booked the tour on the Viator site. We were a small group of 10 people. The tour company picked us up just outside of the cruise ship terminal. The instructions were clear and they communicated with us via email and WhatsApp. Our tour guide Nazar was terrific. We visited some of the major attractions in Tangiers including the wall separating Europe and Africa, where the Atlantic meets the Mediterranean Sea, Medina, Hercules cave and ending the tour with the unforgettable camel ride along the sea…. Absolutely incredible. The van was spacious and clean and Nazar provided refreshments along the tour. Overall excellent and highly recommend.
Do NOT take a tour with this company. We were very disappointed with the service we received. I initially booked a tour of Tangier for the two of us as it was the first time we were visiting this city on a Celebrity Cruise. I had requested a private tour with an english speaking guide to see the main attractions of the city. Instead we had a driver who spoke no english, and claimed to speak a little spanish and french, which we later found out was extremely limited. Additionally, rather than a private tour, we were placed a van with 5 other people who were also as disappointed as we were with the service. Once on the van, my husband requested the driver to provide an engish spekaing guide but this did not occur until 4.5 hours later when we were dropped off at a shopping area in Medina. By this point, we were all pretty frustrated from being driven around to various stops with no information being provided and limited communication with our driver. The stop at the Hercules caves was disappointing as well because we were informed there was an hour wait and we did not have time to enter. Instead we were led to the musuem which was crammed with people where it was difficult to even get around. The stops at Casbah and Cap Spartel had nice views but we had no guide to provide us with information on the importance of these points. We were also not taken to some of the other stops listed on the tour. The camel ride was equally as disappointing. We were taken to a beach where two individuals with a few camels were waiting to give us a 5 minute walk along the beach. Overall, the tour and experience promised by this tour operator was not at all what was advertised and was extremely disappointing. I will certainly be requesting a refund. My recommendation for those travelling to Tangier on Celebrity Cruises is to book the shore excursion with the cruise line as at least you will be guaranteed an english speaking guide and a more pleasurable experience of the city.
Our driver for the outlying sites was friendly but spoke little English. He pointed out a few embassies and grand homes, but told us nothing of the local history and culture. The language barrier also meant that we didn’t realize that our entire time at Cap Spartel would be spent in the cafe drinking tea that no one wanted. Our camel ride was in a dirt lot above the beach, while we watched others enjoy the ride over the actual sand. Our driver skipped the Cave of Hercules because the line was too long by the time we arrived, directing us instead to a tourist trap faux cave full of tchotchkes. Back in the city, our new guide for the city sites spoke English but showed us nothing but a select few shops in the medina. He immediately dropped us off at a Moroccan restaurant for an hour, and then took us to vendors with whom he seemed to have an understanding. He seemed annoyed when we showed no interest in haggling for a small toy. He pointed out one small mosque that we happened to pass. Otherwise we learned nothing from him. By 3pm we had seen less than half of the sites on our itinerary. Not only did we miss out on the cave and the promised camel ride on the BEACH, but we also never got to see the Casbah, synagogue, church, or museum.
Our driver was good at pointing out the main city sites and he took us to the famous Cafe Hafa for tea and enjoy the breathtaking view. The camel ride was fun. We enjoyed the Medina walk very much. It was a lot walking but amazed by all the stores tucked in the narrow streets.
Good experience. Guides English not great. Other wise. Good excursion. Good attitude. Nowedgeable. Wide variety of sights
(This was booked by me for a one day port call by the Island Princess cruise ship.) Good value, an excellent basic overview of Tangier over the course of one day. There is a lot of moving around, and a lot to see. I was the only one booked on this day so it was like a private car and driver, and guide to the city. Excellent work by the driver in providing WhatsApp directions on when/where to meet. Driver did an excellent job although his English was not a strong suit. (I speak French, so that certainly made things easier for me - YMMV). When we got to the Casbah - the real high point of the day for me - a young guide (Don Nizar) with excellent English (and French and Spanish!) took me through the city alleys. Because it was just me, he asked what I was most keen to see. I cook a lot, so we got to focus on food in the Socco: meat, olives, fruit, and (incredible) spice shops. There was a break for a traditional lunch including couscous and lamb tahini (fabulous) and afterward he took me to the superb Jewish Museum and Moshe Nahon synagogue. The only feedback I would provide would be - because the driver who took me around for the first part of the tour wasn’t a strong English speaker - for the tour company (Spartel) to send a short “here’s what to expect” document with an agenda for the day, the night before the excursion. That would have gone a long way to clear up my befuddlement during the first part of the morning. The day was just perfect and a real eye opening delight for this first time visitor! I can highly recommend. Now I really want to return for an extended time in Morocco to do a “deep dive”.
Our driver Hicham was waiting for us at the port. He showed us many wonderful sights in Tangier. My daughter's favorite part was the camel ride. Hicham is very professional and knowledgeable.
All the experience was memorable, we felt safe with our guide in walking tour Zanir and our driver and guide Jousef. Great tour will recommended 100%.
Great experience all around! Our guides were so kind, generous of their time and knowledgeable. We got to see the best of Tangier and they went above and beyond to make sure that everyone on our tour enjoyed themselves. I would 100% call them again if I went back,

Spend the day sight seeing, learning history of this city, shopping in great shops and feeling like family. Highly recommend a day tour with these guides. Professional, safe and informative. They speak 5 languages too - which is helpful.
We booked Nizar for three days, Chefchaouen, Tangier and Asilah, the trips were fun, we had the chance to visit the main attractions in Tangier with Him and Karim (the local tour guide). we were picked up in a fancy Van and starting our FUN TOUR in Tangier, we went first to visit the Cap Spartel (the main and one the oldest lighthouse in Tangier). Then he drove us to the cave of Hercules with an introduction to it history and told us the legends about this magical cave. Afterward we visited the Medina for a 3 Hours walking tour, Karim almost showed us everything is his Tangier, and he even wanted to invited us for a couscous in his home (CousCous is the main meal in Morocco in Friday). Everyone was kind and knowledgeable, after we finished the tour we wanted to go for some drinks at night, he also was very helpful and reserved us a table in a very nice pub. Highly recommended.
Karim and Radi hooked us up with a ride to the cave of Hercules- we got to see the beach and ride camels along the shore. Such great guys to have looking out for you while in Tangier!
