A Trip to Remember - Youssef took care of us the entire time! He is a great guide. He told us so much about Morrocco and took us to experience so many things, in just one day. It was an incredible and meaningful trip my family and I will always remember.

Inspiring tour - Tour guide, novelist and local celebrity Youssef gave us a real taste of the history and beauty of Tangiers. No wonder great writers have lived here.

Incredible experience, very helpful and kind host! - I can't recommend this highly enough. My wife and I toured with Youssef in May 2025. On the day of our tour, my stomach was not doing great but we really still wanted to visit. He was incredibly patient and kind and adjusted the tour to allow us to still see Tangier but not overdo it for me. We really loved the tea and it helped settle my stomach. I can't say thanks enough to Youseff and his wife for everything! If you are going to Tangier, book this tour - he knowledge of the history and area is great and you will really come away wanting to go back! Thank you Youseff!!

3 hour tour of Tangier - Youssef was an incredible guide, who seemed to be the “King of Tangier” who everyone knows and respects. Strangers would come to him to say hello, we were so honored to have him share his magical city with us. Amazing experience. We can’t wait to read his book!

- Cannot say enough good things about our lovely tour guide Ahmed. He tailored the tour to our specific interests, was super informative about the city and its history, and gave great advice about navigating local markets. Ahmed’s kindness and generosity throughout the tour has left a lasting impression!

Best experience we could have ever asked for. This is a must on your bucket list - Where do I start with this review... Yousef met us at the ferry dock and introduced himself. We started on foot for the tour. He taught us so much about the culture and history of the city. We walked around the streets, the markets, he took us into the food markets so we could see where everyone buys their foods. We learned the farmers come down from the mountain twice a week to sell their food.. foods like nuts, fruits, fresh meats, breads, sweets, and so much more. I bought some authentic Morrocan leather shoes that are genuine leather and made right in town and are so comfortable. Yousef invited us into his home where we got to meet his wife and have authentic Morrocan tea and cookies. Yousef and Hind were incredibly kind and so welcoming. We continued the tour by car to see the remainder of the city to see where multiple other countries Kings have their homes. We then continued to the beach to ride camels overlooking the beach. This was an incredible experience and definitely the highlight of our 17 day vacation in Spain. If you don’t book this experience, then you are doing yourself a disservice. Book this trip now and you will not regret it. Thank you Yousef and Hind from the bottom of our hearts. Rebecca and Donovan Price- USA

Personal, well organized and interesting and entertaining - Yousseff was amazing! Everything about this tour was seamless and personal. From arranging the tour prior to our departure to our arrival at the port all the details were taken care of! Tangier is a beautiful city with so many different things to see and experience. For our group the highlights were riding the camels on the beach, meeting Yousseff’s family and visiting his home, and a delicious traditional meal!
