great day in Tangier with Majid - This was perfect low key wander through Tangier kasbah and medina. Our guide, Majid, met us just outside the cruise post and we toured with one other couple. He started by giving us a quick history of Tangier and Morocco and then we walked up to the Kasbah neighborhood. Majid was a fountain of information and adjusted the tour as he saw what we enjoyed. Stopped for the BEST mont tea and a chat break. Particularly enjoyed the garden street and all of the beautiful side streets and small shops. We went into a very nice shop where they talked to us about the carpets but it was not high pressure at all. We had asked to see some spice shops and he took us to a very nice one.

Great excursion - Had a great time with Lina. She was very welcoming and friendly. She took us around the historic part of the city and told us about the history and changes to the city. We thought it was great that she focussed on the local products and not the tourist stuff. We saw the local produce in the market and historic streets. I was glad to have her guide us this part of the town seemed like a maze of narrow winding streets. There is a steep cobbled lane to the top of the historic area but well worth the climb. There are steps as well as it is quite a walk. Well worth the cost of the excursion. A shame that the museum is closed on Tuesdays but there were lots of other things to see.

Brilliant, informative, well-paced tour with friendly guide - I booked this tour rather last minute when I found I had a gap in my schedule whilst in Tangiers. I was grateful that Karim and the team wereable to accommodate my request, and I went on the tour with Jasmine at noon.
Because I was staying in a hotel close to the port, Jasmine met me directly in my hotel lobby which was super convenient, and we headed off walking from there. Virtually the entire walk Jasmine was reeling off the history of Tangiers, and she always had an answer to my questions. It was super interesting learning about the history of the city as well as the current situation and change Tangiers is experiencing. Throughout the tour I felt I was in safe hands, as Jasmine clearly had a lot of knowledge, experience and connections locally.
This really was a great way to spend an afternoon in Tangiers and I would recommend to anyone visiting!

Great day in Tangier - We truly enjoyed our time in Tangier, exploring the Medina and the souhks of the city. Booking our trip was easy and Karim was very attentive to our needs. Our guide, Yasmine, was lovely and very knowledgeable. She took us to a beautiful guest house with lush gardens for mint tea and cookies. She explained the history of the city and the mix of various European cultures that impacted the city. She led us to a terrific lunch spot as well and of course to the markets to experience and shop. A great day overall
