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.
