Great family run tour company in Tangier - Great communication leading up to tour. Very thorough instructions getting through borders, meeting transportation, etc. Being a private tour we had a flexible start time, which made the day more enjoyable. Loved all the history, food, camel ride, and different stops. In hindsight wish we would not have opted out of Hercules cave. Also wish we had more time to freely roam some shops in town, instead of just ones picked out by the guide. Was a really nice introduction to Morocco and the Muslim culture. Highly recommend this company, but do a bit of research on what you want to see ahead of time to maximize your experience.

Great Tour! - We had a great experience starting and ending with our pickup at the Gibraltar border. Super easy, great communication and Jasmine, our guide, and our drivers were perfect. We were a couple with our twenty two year old granddaughter. I would highly recommend Karim, Jasmine and their staff.

Kamir organized a... - Kamir organized a flawless visit for us in Tangier from Gibraltar. He clearly communicated what we would be doing and how to go about it. Our ferry tickets were provided as was all transportation to and from the sites. We began our day by being picked up at our hotel and dropped at the ferry for Tangier. There is a coffee shop and washrooms at the port so don’t stress. We grabbed a quick coffee and lovely pastry before boarding. Breakfast is included in your tour but a lot happens before it. Note that Tangier time is an hour behind Spain so breakfast will feel a little later to you.
Kamir and his team met us at the port. Our guide was Hamza. He and his driver took us through Tangier stopping at some of its highlights offering photo ops and history tidbits of the town. We passed through the wealthier area of Tangier on our way to the lighthouse at Cap Spartel. This is where we enjoyed a delicious traditional breakfast.
From here we went to the beach to ride the camels . This experience exceeded my expectations. We were so glad that we did it.
From here we went to the old city, the Kasba and the markets. There was no pressure to purchase and so much to see.
We finished our tour with a traditional dinner served at Restaurant Vandalucia. Be hungry! It was delicious. Traditional live music was played to complete the experience.
It was a long day filled with a lot of memories. An experience well worth the time.

A perfect day trip to Africa! - Our day trip to Tangier was very well organized. It was a full day with a car tour of the city, breakfast, a walking tour of the old town, a trip to the markets and a true Moroccan lunch. So much was included from the meals to transportation to a camel ride

A must do when in Gibraltar or Spain! - The tour operator was very easy to contact and answered questions almost immediately. Our guide Yasmin our guide was amazing, friendly, and informative! The camel ride was amazing. The breakfast the best of our trip! Lunch was fantastic too, we were just still so full from breakfast to finish it. Would definitely recommend this excursion. It is about 40 minutes from Gibraltar to taiffa, and another 50 minute ferry ride to Tangiers. But worth all the time with travel!

Day Adventure - We decided that while we were in Spain, why not put our feet on African soil! It was a short and easy trek to Tangier, probably the nicest city in Morocco. Our driver and guide, Jasmine , were on time, extremely polite and accommodating. They made sure to give us the full range of experiences from eating a classic Moroccan breakfast to riding camels on the beach. We also experienced shopping in the Medina and had lunch as well! It was a full day and definitely worth it. I was traveling alone with my two teenagers and they were engaged and enjoyed themselves! I definitely recommend!

Trip to Tangiers - This was an amazing trip and I would recommend this to anyone who was interested in visiting Morocco.
The trip.
We had a taxi arranged to collect us who smoothly drove us to Tarifa port. We were sent a picture of the number plate so we knew who to safely go with. The ferry tickets had been organised and the taxi driver took us inside and helped us get the tickets ready for the ferry. The ferry is really easy and a smooth trip.
Arriving at Tangiers.
Once through passport control you are met with lots of guides trying to sell you stuff. Go through them, past the fence outside the main perimeter and that is where you see the other guides holding your name. Only some guides are allowed inside the port's perimeter. Hamza, our guide, was there. The car was a nice black Mercedes, air conditioned, spacious with complimentary waters. Mohammed was our driver and he was safe, very able to get us where we needed to be and to the right spot.
Breakfast
The Andalucia Hill was our first experience of Moroccan cuisine. The breakfast was amazing, I loved the spiced lamb with bread and mint tea. We sat in the garden and the setting was quiet but very pretty. The restaurant was very clean and the quality of the food was really high. The service was quick, professional and our waiter was really helpful. A lovely meal and a wonderful introduction to Morocco.
Camel trip.
A great experience. We were bumped to the front and enjoyed a nice camel ride along the beach. Lots of photos and videos.
Shopping
We were taken to a carpet shop, then a perfume shop, the market place and a stall which sold football shirts. All amazing. I loved the perfume shop, the natural oils were great. I caught COVID19 years ago so lost my sense of smell. Here was the first place I could smell fragrances so I loved it. My son loved the football shirt stall. We loved seeing the Berber people in the market place.
Caves of Hercules
What a place, full of life and so much to do. Our guide Hamza, was amazing yet again. We were pushed to the front with no queues we got to do everything.
Lunch
Restaurant Vandalucia was the highlight. The owner was incredibly welcoming, we spoke to him about the food and restaurant and he detailed the food, what it was made of and how it was created. I felt looked after straight away. We had lunch on the top floor overlooking the city, giving us some amazing views! After lots of mint tea we enjoyed our starter which was presented to a high standard and was full of flavour. There was lots of food but the choice was varied. The main meal again was varied and full of flavours that represented Tangiers and Moroccan cuisine. The waiter we had was helpful and would answer question about the food. Service was prompt, we didn't feel rushed but once we had finished a course the plates were collected and the next course quickly arrived. An amazing meal and a restaurant well worth a visit. We had never been to Morocco before and this experience made the day, lovely food and lovely service.
If you go on this trip ask for Hamza as a guide and the driver Mohammed. They ensured we were safe and we had a wonderful time. These two made the day and without them the trip wouldn't have been so good. Thank you guys.
