Best Local Tour Experience in Tangier - Full on private tour and transportation to and from a pick-up address of your choice. We had a fantastic local tour guide, Abdenabi Abdellah, who knew all the ins and outs from traveling to each destination on the private tour and was very knowledgeable of the history of the city. I highly recommend this specific tour, you won't be disappointed. Best priced private tour on this website!

Essential tour! - We loved the Tanger tour! Our guide Abdul was extremely friendly and attentive. The camel ride was surprising.

Take your tour alone is better - We expected a lot from this visit but we were disappointed, the guide was in a hurry he walked alone in front , there are things we did not do and I find that for the price per person it is extremely expensive, moreover for the return we had to ask the driver to take us home because otherwise we had to return by taxi while the round trip pickup was included. We had more fun the next day visiting alone than with the guide.

Refund by co when we refused adding others - Anwar wanted to add 2 more people to our private tour. It was also set at 7:00 am, from time choices, but we proposed starting at 9:00 like most other tours. Anwar also insisted starting at 10:00 (probably to accommodate the 2 additional people he wanted to add to our private tour). He offered lunch and a basic breakfast to get us to forgo the private tour. Obviously did not offer refunding a good portion of the cost. We told him that we just wanted our private tour beginning at 9:00. Rather than further discussing this, he cancelled the reservation for tomorrow morning. There was only 1 other tour listed that was comparable at TWICE the cost. Luckily it still had openings for the last minute. I booked this tour 6 MONTHS ago. Never heard from this company until just after 5:00 pm the evening before the tour, most likely because there is a practice of adding additional customers at the last minute. Not worth booking. Cancellations the night before the event can severely impact time spent in Tangere. BY 10:00 pm I found the last comparable tour at TWICE the cost. Good thing I checked my email late. He cancelled at 8:06 pm, I would never have known my reservation was cancelled and money refunded by this company had I not checked. I was led to believe the tour was a go for tomorrow.

DO NOT RECOMMEND - Buyer Beware - this tour is a scam! We booked a private tour for a party of 4. Just before our tour date Amwar informed us that there will be others from the cruise ship joining us. Since it was such short notice we did not have time to look for other options so we decided to take the tour even though we were unsuccessful in convincing Amwar to honor the private tour that we booked. In hindsight the better decision would have been to stay on the ship. Yes, it was that bad. Our experience is similar to the other 1 star reviews. We were picked up 20 minutes late. We didn't have a tour guide, he was just a guy driving us to various places with little to no communication on any type of info about Morocco. At each destination Amwar would spend a couple of minutes with us (he was bouncing back and forth between 3 or 4 groups of people), or we would be passed off to someone else who also did not provide any real information on what we were looking at. We went to some weird "Hercules cave" replica that we had to pay some guy a euro to enter. We did have an authentic Moroccan lunch that was nice which was supposed to be followed with a city tour. We were passed off to another guy for this part of the tour and yes I am purposely not calling them a tour guide because they were not. The "City" tour was basically being dragged around to the markets around the ship port and being pressured to buy stuff. We also experienced the rug shop where Muhammad Ali layed out rug after rug. The reason I call this a scam is because the misleading and dishonest behavior was intentional. Items that they listed in the tour package such as water, WiFi and yes private did not happen. We also Putting that all aside it was the worst tour we have ever taken.

Will not be what you think it is - Buyer beware…if you are on a cruise ship and the description says Full Day Private Tour, then I am sorry, this guy is going to get you. Amwar, who is the guide will message you a couple days before the tour to tell you he has to book more because of the ship. I said absolutely not but he insisted that it is too late. Not much you can do 2 days prior to a port to try and find another trip, so we stayed on this one and braced ourselves for the worst. It started out with the driver, who was late, picked us up at the port mosque. He barely spoke any English and began to transport our group of 4 and a group of 3 ladies. Come to find out he was not even a guide but just a driver. He did not give any history or information about Tangier or Morocco for that matter the entire time he was driving. He drove us to a sightseeing picture spot where we met Amwar, who was bouncing back and forth between his 3 groups of people that he booked. Very rushed, and again barely any information. After this we went to a camel ride, which I had stated to the tour guide prior to booking this trip to please skip. As you can guess, since the tour was not private, he still took us on the ride. The views were magnificent and that’s about it. The camels are kept in poor condition which was also a disappointment to see. We were then taken to the “Hercules cave”. The ladies wanted some water, but there wasn’t any on the tour which clearly stated in the description that there would be. We got hustled into this “cave” that for some reason we had to pay 1 euro to some sort of cave master. Once inside, it was a bunch of hand painted dolls and people playing music…a faux cave. My group saw my frustrations as this was my breaking point. The other “guide” we got handed off to never took us to the actual cave that was below this faux cave. After the cave we went to an authentic Moroccan meal at a small place, which was the highlight of the day. Great food for a decent price. Once lunch was completed, Amwar handed us off to another “guide” to walk us around the downtown area and markets. This guy gave us no information again and just shuffled us to particular shops of his “family”. Towards the end of the tour, we were taken to this rug shop where we were sat down by Muhammad Ali and shown all the handmade rugs. It was by far the most awkward situation we had all day. It was almost as if you could not leave until he was done given his presentation. Once we were able to leave, the group was shuffled toward the cruise port. In closing, a disaster of a day. Again, steer clear of this tour and Amwar.

WE DO NOT RECOMMEND - Booked a private tour but received a message the day before that there were many reservations for the cruise ship. The guy didn’t ask if it was okay to put us in a group, he told me we were going in a small group. Needless to say all 12 of us that booked private tours ended up together. They gave different people different meeting times so we ended up waiting an hour just to start. The tour itself was not impressive. We wouldn’t do it again. Basically we stopped a few places to take pictures. More than anything, we were upset that we paid for one thing and got another- and technically we were pressured into it. And they still made us pay full price. They waited until after the 24 hour mark to notify us of the group.

Misleading and intimidating. - We were told we could get picked up at the ship but weren’t and had to scramble to get to the meeting point. The guide said it wasn’t his problem. We were told we were going to sites that we didn’t go to (camels on the beach was actually camels in a parking lot sort of near the beach, and Hercules Cave was instead a tourist trap next door with monkeys in diapers and folly performances). The “authentic market” at the end was in fact a group run high pressure sit down in to buy carpets. It wasn’t warm, friendly, or accurate on site visits. Hard “no” on recommending to anyone.

BEWARE! This is NOT a private tour! He will contact you right before the tour and tell you he has to add more guests. - BEWARE! Anwar advertises a private tour, and then one or two days before he tells people he has to do a small group tour because of the cruise ship being in port. We ended up with six more people on our tour in addition to the two of us. He tells them all the same thing, and they all booked a private tour. In addition he states in the description he meets at the cruise port. Many other gentlemen were there at the port with the names of their customers, so we stood there waiting and waiting. Finally we asked a kind young man (also a tour guide) to call, and Anwar told him we must go to Cafe Paris and meet him there. So we had to take the cruise shuttle and then walk to Cafe Paris. Another couple on our tour could not walk and they were told it would be five euro to take a taxi, and then they were charged 20 euro. Anwar did not cover these expenses. He apologized and said he was studying tourism and did not have permission to access the port like other tour guides. When I told him we were disappointed because we booked a private tour, he was quite defensive, and offered to give us our money back, but what good would that do at this point? The guide that actually took us on our tour was so happy and enthusiastic and we hope he can get a job with a different company. His name is Mailoud Qassar and he was wonderful! When we got back from touring the Hercules Cave and a fun camel ride, Anwar met us and took us to a small cafe. We knew that food was not included in the tour, but he proceeded to tell us that the meal would cost us 20 euro each. When some of suggested that we could share, he said we should not because the portions were quite small. None of us chose to eat at that point, and proceeded with Mailoud to the market. We were taken to see rugs, and although it was quite fascinating it is a bit like a time share, and unless you are interested in spending well over a thousand dollars I doubt you will purchase anything. On a side note, one of the other couples said that while they were waiting at Cafe Paris for the rest of us, a gentleman who they thought just happened to be sitting there approached them and proceeded to engage in a friendly fun conversation. WELL, he ended up being one of the rug salesmen where we were all taken later in the market, and those folks were somewhat disappointed as they just thought he was a friendly fellow with no alternative motives. Thanks to Mailoud we have great memories, but Anwar needs to list this tour as a small group tour, and specify that he does NOT meet at the cruise port. If you want a private tour, and a guide that meets you at the port DO NOT choose this tour.

Pessima agency! - Do not meet schedule , late 30 Minutes , not looking in Porto , was to come a woman guide came a man ! Smiling, saying that he stopped doing other trips to do ours. No company vehicle came in , he took a taxi and put us in . I could not enter the Medina. In summary I do not indicate the company that does this tour to anyone.
