Tangier Private Day Tour from Tarifa or Algeciras

Without a doubt one of our favourite and memorable family vacation. Upon arrival from Tarifa in Tangier Port, we were warmly welcomed by Said, holding a board with my name. Me, my husband with our 4 year old boy felt welcomed and with such a friendly atmosphere we had a fantastic start! They even bought us the ferry tickets one evening before. Said as a guide was extremely good, very flexible (appreciate this!) and for that he deserves special thanks. We had 4 great hours in Tangier, which obviously also added up to the experience. Said is such a warm personality and highly motivated guide (recommendable.). Also the driver Omar was very nice and the minivan clean and good smelling. We visited a lot in the short time of our private tour: Hercules cave, a great park up on the hill, camels with camel ride, Medina and an art shop and a special farmacy with super argan oil and creams and had a gratis neck massage. In the end we had a yummy early dinner for only 60 eur with lot of food (gamberi and sword fish with couscous were perfect) and drinks for 3 people. They even gave us water, bananas for our kid and a plate full with tasty baklava. I kept the plate as a nice souvenir. We will be back soon, for sure:)!

Great private tour experience. Said was very responsive leading up to our arrival and once we connected with our guid Youssef it was smooth sailing. We had an amazing tour of Tangier with Youssef. He told us there 1.2 million people that live there and I’m pretty sure he said hello to 999,999 of them along our walk. The tour was filled with all the history and facts you would expect, but then also had a lot of personal touches that really gave us a sense of what it is like to live there. We also were lucky to be there on a Sunday which was a “market” day so the casbah was rocking. The lunch spot he took us too was fantastic and reasonably priced. We learned to haggle for rugs. A great day and experience.

There are many so many good things I can say about my day with Said & co., but here are just a few: 1. This is a fantastic introduction to Morocco by those that know it and live there. Sure, you do the tourist sites, but you also get the out-of-way nooks and crannies of the Casbah and Medina that the big tours can't do in limited time. 2. Communication: Said was always quick to respond and I had no problems coordinating the time and place to meet. He greeted me at the ferry with a big smile. 3. My guide Abdullah and driver Muhammad knew all the secret tricks to getting in and out of special spots quickly so we had ample to time to see so many sites. Abdullah seems to know everybody in the whole city and everywhere we went we were treated like old friends. 4. The true value is that you could never do so much on your own as you could with a more in-depth tour such as this. Not only did I get to see a generous taste of what Tangier has to offer, but it's got me wanting to go back for more.
