The Best Tour I Ever Had!!!! Request Coca-Cola! - Words do NOT do this tour justice! This is absolutely the best tour I ever had! If you book it, and you absolutely should, REQUEST COCA-COLA as your tour guide. He was knowledgeable, caring, funny, etc. His goal is to make sure you have a great time and want to come back. He succeeded!
First, I paid for nothing but this tour! Communication with this tour was excellent. I was contacted by the guide via WhatsApp a few days before to check for food allergies and discuss things like what type of shopping I wanted to do. He also reminded us to BRING PASSPORTS!
The driver picked us up from our hotel. He was very punctual. From there we stopped at a spot to get water and coffee. Here is where they complete the form for you to take the ferry. Then the driver took us directly to the ferry office and got our tickets for us.
Let me be clear, this is not what we would consider a ferry in the US. This is a large boat that carries people as well as vehicles. There is a small place to get food as well as a duty free store on board this “ferry”. Once on board, you will have to get your passports stamped by the police (even though you will also get them stamped before you board). You do not have to get them stamped once on the boat on the way back.
When we arrived in Tangier, outside the port, Coca-Cola was waiting for us with a sign. From there, the magic happened.
He walked us to the air conditioned van with our driver.
I don’t want to give everything away, but it was beautiful and magical. We went through the rich area and had the best breakfast we ever had (which was included in the ticket price). We rode camels on the beach, went to the Hercules Caves and took pictures with a parrot and monkey, saw some amazing views, stopped at where the Atlantic Ocean and Mediterranean Sea meet, walked through the shopping area of the Old Town, and eat a true Moroccan lunch. My husband, 13 yo daughter, and I loved it. She is a bit of a picky eater with a nut allergy, but she devoured the chicken.
Our guide Coca-Cola knows everyone and because of this, we were able to skip lines. He is “the man” there! He was always offering us food, drinks, etc, and it was all included. He even bought us small souvenirs. I can honestly say, our trip would not have been as great as it was without him. He took pictures for us as well. If we wanted to see something, he would have the driver pull over, but there are stops already built into the tour.
If you are unsure about this tour, do it! I can promise you, you will not regret it. My family all agreed that this is the best tour we have ever done. It was a once in a lifetime opportunity, and I’m so thankful we did it!

Fantastic Day Trip to Tangier from Malaga - We took a wonderful private day trip to Tangier in May, and Ali was our guide—he was fantastic. Thanks to him, we had an unforgettable experience. Friendly, knowledgeable, and professional, Ali took care of every detail, from picking us up at our hotel in the morning to ensuring we returned safely that evening. We can’t wait to book another trip with him!

Morocco - We did a day tour through Tangier and while it was definitely a full day, our guide Abdul made the experience memorable and smooth from start to finish.
Abdul was so accommodating—when I started feeling a little carsick early in the tour, he instantly adapted the plan to focus more on outdoor stops and less time driving. He adjusted the whole day around our timing and preferences, all with a great attitude and warm energy. He was full of fascinating stories, and we always felt taken care of.
This tour is great for travelers who want to pack a lot into one day—it’s fast-paced, with lots of moving around, different stops, and activity changes. For us, it felt a bit overwhelming at times, but Abdul’s presence kept it grounded. He was also super respectful when we said we weren’t interested in shopping, and still made sure we saw the cultural highlights.
One of the best moments was sitting down for Moroccan mint tea—so refreshing and delicious! And when it came time to catch our ferry back to Spain, Abdul made sure we had everything we needed and got there on time. Truly above and beyond.
If you're looking for a dynamic, all-in-one-day type of experience in Tangier, I highly recommend it—and especially recommend Abdul as your guide.

Fabulous day in Tangiers - This day was definitely one of the highlights of our vacation. Our guide, Coca-Cola, was extremely knowledgeable about the city and made sure to ask and include things that matched our interests. His driver, who we named sidekick Sprite, drove us to some beautiful lookout spots and we always felt safe and taken care of.
Coca-Cola took us to some fantastic restaurants. As our group included some serious foodies good food is always near the top of the list of things to experience. We were not disappointed. The camel ride along the beach is also something we’ll always remember. We also experienced a snake charmer, Hercules caves, a synagogue and did some shopping.
Viator were very accommodating when a change to the ferry schedule made the new pickup time extremely early for some members of our group. They changed our day with no issue to give us a later time and the driver accompanied us to the ticket office to ensure there were no problems with new tickets.
We highly recommend this tour. We travel a lot and this tour will definitely be one we talk about and remember as a great day. Be sure to ask for guide CocaCola and his sidekick driver Sprite when you book!

THE perfect day! - This was worth every single cent! When they say private tour, believe it! I was traveling solo and apprehensive about going to Tangiers alone. Many tours charge you for 2 people when traveling solo. I found Ali Tours after reading the reviews and was treated to the most perfect day. A driver met me at my Airbnb, drove me from Malaga, walked me into the ferry station in Tarifa, filled out my paperwork and made sure I was taken care of. At the ferry port in Tangiers, Hamza, Ali's brother, met me and gave me the day of a lifetime. I was treated like a queen, never waited in a line, and was given the courtesy of choosing what I wanted to do and see. At every stop I was given the royal treatment. Hamza knew everyone and everyone knew him. I was treated to a typical Moroccan breakfast with mint tea,
A perfect camel ride on the beach. The minute I stepped on to the sand, a camel was waiting, even though there were many other people waiting. When i say treated like royalty, I mean it! Tangiers was beautiful, clean and welcoming. I cannot say enough good things about this experience with Hamza, the drivers and the guides at each of the stops. Lunch was a special treat with live music, a giant traditional lunch and a serenade for my birthday! I know. Seems too good to be true. But believe me, it was well worth the money, the getting up early and the drive. Do it! Let Ali, Hamza and the rest of the team treat you to the beauty of Tangiers.

Seeing Tangiers, Morocco in one day!! - This service is a private tour. It was incredible and totally worth it! My husband and I had our own driver and tour guide. Our guide, Abdul, was open to all our questions and we were able to go as fast or as slow as we wanted or where we needed to go. He was also popular among the locals. We were able to try out authentic Moroccan food- they were delicious and flavorful! We saw highlights of the Cave of Hercules- thanks to our insider guide Ahmed. The camel ride was very memorable! The walking part of the tour- Kasbah and Medina was informative and eye opening. The presentation of the Moroccan carpet shopping was quite a show! This is the tour to pick- stress free and fun!

Great day trip for the whole family - We really enjoyed our day trip to Morocco. Ali as very helpful (even advising us to change the day of our trip so we could avoid being there when the cruise ship was in port) and provided helpful and clear instructions prior to our trip. He arranged for our driver to and from Malaga - Aisaam was great - right on time, helped us fill out the customs forms prior to our ferry and was waiting for us when we returned.
Hassan (aka Coca Cola) was our guide for the day. He is super knowledgeable and was able to make the day interesting and engaging for our 12 yr old son. That’s a win in my book! We saw, learned and ate a lot! The camel ride on the beach was everyone’s favorite, followed by the time we spent waking around the old Medina. Everyone seems to know Coca Cola, we got to see some extra little cafes and views because of this. The rug buying experience was unlike anything we had experienced and he helped us get a good deal on a couple beautiful rugs.
It’s a long day but well worth the time and money. Everything was smooth and we felt totally taken care of! Special thanks to Coca Cola for taking such great care of us and keeping our son engaged and interested!
