Five-Star Experience from Start to Finish - Our private tour from Tarifa to Tangier with Karim was truly exceptional. The day was perfectly planned, combining culture, scenery, great food, and shopping. The camel ride along the coast was unforgettable, and the private vehicle was spotless and extremely comfortable. Karim’s knowledge of local history and traditions added so much depth to the experience. The traditional Moroccan lunch was delicious, and we loved exploring the markets with Karim’s guidance. He made the entire day smooth, relaxed, and very enjoyable. If you want a high-quality, personalized tour in Tangier, Karim is the perfect guide.

From Tarifa to Tangier: The Highlight of Our Trip! - We had an amazing day trip from Tarifa to Tangier with Karim as our guide. Everything was well organized and stress-free from start to finish. Karim was warm, professional, and very knowledgeable about the history and culture of Morocco. One of the highlights was the camel ride on the beach—such a beautiful experience! The transportation was clean and comfortable, which made the whole day relaxing. We also enjoyed a delicious Moroccan lunch and had plenty of time for shopping in the markets. Karim made sure we felt comfortable and never rushed. If you’re planning a visit to Tangier, I highly recommend booking a private tour with Karim. It made our trip truly special.

Best day long family excursion! - Excellent communication to custom-tailor your experience in Morocco. Our tour guide Hamza was amazing and made this stay energy-filled, informative, showcasing the beauty of Tangier. The food was incredible for both breakfast and lunch. The camel ride on the beach was also fantastic. The vibe was so great we even purchased Moroccan rugs! Thoughtful touches throughout the day made it stress-free. Easy ferry ride over from Tarifa and no need to make decisions once you arrive because of the excellent pre-planning. 6 out of 5 stars!

Wonderful, attentive experience - This tour was excellent and very well organized. From the time we booked all the way until we were back at our hotel in Spain, Karim and his team were attentive and did everything they could to make sure we had a great visit. He asked about our interests in Tangier, food allergies and confirmed all times. Our first ferry was cancelled, but they took care of all arrangements and exchanged our tickets for the next day. Our guide Hamza did a wonderful job! He made sure we were comfortable, went through town at our pace, and helped with photos pointing out scenic views along the way. Overall a wonderful experience!

Amazing! - I highly recommend this day trip! Karim was very informative and responsive when planning out and setting up the tour. He stayed in touch with me the entire time. I actually had a friend who recommended this tour to me first and I'm so glad I listened to her because this is a memory that will last a lifetime. Karim's brother Ali was our actual tour guide and he was very polite and knowledgeable about Tangier. We rode all around Tangier and took beautiful pictures and then taken to eat lunch the food was amazing! The camel ride was so much fun I always dreamt of doing that. Never once did I feel uncomfortable. Ali & Karim you guys did a great job thank you so much for a wonderful visit!

Unforgettable day in Morocco - From the moment that we got off of the ferry, we knew that our trip was going to be memorable. We traveled with our friend who lives in Spain and Patito Tours is the only option that she will use! Karim and his driver met us and off we went wandering to so many great places around Tangier in a very comfortable and clean large van with big windows so that we did not miss anything. Karim is very knowledgeable and friendly, and we saw so many great sights from views high above the city, mint tea and yummy pancakes outdoor at a restaurant along the way, caves, shopping in the Souk and who could forget the camel ride along the beach. "Don't worry by Happy" will always remind me of our camel ride, as our guide was singing to us. But even more, we all came away with a great friend in Karim and his team. Highly recommend Patito Tours when you venture to Tangier Morocco. The tour will leave you wishing that you stayed longer and explored more of Morocco.

Top tier tour and experience - Our group booked a day tour with Karim and couldn't be more pleased. Not only did Karim set everything up, but when the plans had to change due to unforseen circumstances, he quickly attempted to rectify it. He made sure to take us to see everything we wanted, even with the time crunch. He was so knowledgeable, kind and hospitable. If you get the chance to go to Morocco, make sure you book with Tangier Patito Tours. You will not be disappointed. Our group left with so many beautiful memories and can't wait to visit again!

Karim was *AMAZING* - Karim was **AMAZING**. Very communicative from booking through after tour ended. Tailored our tour to our group of 8 people of different ages and interests. From Ferry tickets and info on what to expect from that border crossing to walking us back to into the port, he made every moment count. We visited Cap Spartel, Perdicaris Park, had a wonderful authentic lunch (we asked Karim to order for us -- so good!), rode camels, and walked all over the old town casbah. I told Karim in advance that I wanted a berber rug and spices, and he created magnificent experiences with true professionals. He even arranged a few fun additions like a snake-charmer and a visit to the local communal kitchen, which was fun and cultural. *Above and beyond* Morocco was on my bucket list, but it wasn't necessarily top on the rest of the family's go-to places --- Karim made all of us fall in love with this vibrant city and its history. We want to go back and spend A LOT more time in Morocco. Everywhere we went, from the port police to the tiniest walkways, everyone knew Karim, and we were very safe and well-cared for. Knowledge, funny, hands-down best of the best. You cannot go wrong with this tour and this guide. Tours aren't for everyone and they aren't usually my thing. But this was a once-in-a-lifetime kind of experience, worth every penny and more. If you are even considering a tour of this city, do yourself a favor and book Karim. Tangier was incredible and so was this personable, accommodating, warm-hearted guide. THANK YOU SO MUCH, Karim!

A great quick overview of Morrocco - with some wonderful history and sights! - It was an amazing experience to see Morocco and hear so much history! Our guide was very knowledgeable and showed us some great things. We did seem to be a little short on time - but we loved what we saw. . The "snack" was a wonderful breakfast - at a great site overlooking the Mediterranean Sea with a great lighthouse. The Camel ride was amazing, and understanding the many countries represented in Morocco was enlightening. The lunch/dinner meal was outstanding! So many options - delightful and delicious! Our ferry ride back to Tarifa was delayed - so we seemed to spend a lot of time in the transfer over and back. . . Wish that could be better balanced.
