Excellent excursion, guided by professionals who love their work - Oh, great. Carlos, the very professional Spanish guide, always on the lookout. The guide in Tetuan, Abdul, is the best guide you can have in Tetuan; very respectful, professional and knowledgeable of the history of his hometown. Even the bus driver, Hassan, a great professional and respectful of speed limits. A large air-conditioned bus for 20 people (we were very comfortable not being full). The traditional food very good and in a local place very representative of the local culture. Highly recommended. Some departed from Malaga and surrounding areas, but we joined in the maritime resort of Algeciras.

Hay que vivirla - Very particular excursion. We must arm ourselves with patience the journey is long and the times at the border are eternal. The visit is very picturesque. Too bad that the tour of the Medina takes place almost in a hurry and you can not see well. Lunch all in all was not bad.

The Souk of Tetouan - We started the excursion in Algeciras, we joined a group that came from Malaga, we met Alex our guide in Spanish; excellent professional with extensive knowledge of history with which we learned a lot; added to his human quality, he contained us, was guiding us and giving security before crossing two borders. Arrived in Ceuta we are introduced to the second Moroccan guide, native of the place and knowledgeable of the site who would be in charge of the rest of the tour. During all the hours we stayed in Tetouan we were always accompanied by Alex and another person who joined the group taking care of us so that no one separated from the group or we were followed by the street vendors. The guide in charge mentioned took us where he wanted: we walked through a sector of the souk, had lunch, went to a dark shop full of carpets and antiques in which no one from the group was interested and despite that they had us about an hour trying to get someone to buy something. They took us to the Zomorod Cooperative they call "the pharmacy." They divided the group to give two talks trying to get us to buy products by all means. My dream was to meet Marquecos to buy condiments at the famous spice markets, but they didn't... they answered that you could only buy the products of that cooperative because they were authentic. . I would have had enough time to buy the quantity and variety that I decided and not just 3 packs that they offered there. I felt disappointed and lack of freedom, and not exactly for lack of time. We returned to Algeciras again accompanied by Axel who was the best of the experience lived.

Nice and long day - The tour started very early, type 06 am we were ready to start from Malaga. Generally speaking it is a good day to remember and think that I visited the African continent. To make a sincere assessment I would divide the tour into two parts: the 1st was spectacular, very well the guides, very friendly and informed. We visited the Medina and ate in a typical place with musicians, so far everything perfect! but then we did not like the commercial part of the tour. We spent a lot of time in a pharmacy where they wanted to sell us products, which took a lot of time away from the tour, and then we were taken to a carpet sales site where we also spent time that would have been very valuable to have taken advantage of it in the city, the markets, and live the few hours of the day in that most typical Mood. The carpet shop had a part of "souvenirs" underneath but they were super old and with a lot of dust, it would be good to keep a little care and offer greater variety since for visitors who want to take a small souvenir there is no other stop but this to buy. Generally speaking the tour is good and you have a good memory, but it is many hours of travel combining the back and forth and the time in the city should be distributed different to be able to make the most of it. Thank you!

Not worth it - We spent at least 10 hours sitting on the bus or ferry and the walking part was rushing through the cold and uninviting old town of Tetouan.
They held us at the border for two hours to check our passports twice. That was really annoying.
In Tetouan we were seved bland food in a cold restaurant and then we were forced to listen to a long sales pitch for cosmetics in a „pharmacy“ with bogus claims about the healing powers of the products.
The only saving grace were our two tour guides.

Day trip to Morocco - It seemed more like a sales meeting , we were tied to a person who determined the experiences of the day . No free time on the trip .
A bus that collapsed due to poor maintenance
We spent 19 hours
1 hour lunch arranged by the guide
1/2 hours free on a square that you didn't have to leave
2 hours of display of various products where the sellers were close to the guide.
3 hours walk in small streets without the possibility of buying or inspecting goods
The remaining hours went with waiting time / transportation, and a bureaucratic border check.
This is probably the worst thing we've tried in years.
The tour was bought from TripAdvisor as a certain reseller or a close affiliate of visitanddo.com
Who takes the practical
It cannot be recommended

Take a pass on Tetouan. - Please don't buy into this whole UNESCO marketing hook. This tour consists of going through an unbearably stenchy market with filthy water running under your feet, then going through the 15th century old town/medina that is quite literally stuck behind in the 15th century by most standards. Once you're done with the old town and have eaten a lunch, they will take you to an antique store and then the local herbal pharmacy to get you buy their stuff. The tour is very long and in my honest opinion, not worth the time. Maybe other Moroccan towns are worthwhile seeing, you can easily pass on Tetouan.

Horrible is Little!!! AWFUL DEPLORABLE TOUR!!! - If you think of Morocco you are excited to see the exotic and colorful and instead they take you to see La Medina with its markets and mosque without entering only that is itself to know Morocco for this Enterprise TRAVELANDDO /OK INFINITY very unresponsible, with guides and drivers who must pay them very little because they pressure you and insist all the time for tips and do not expect to earn them, insist you too much and fed up, they go around showing always the same in the place, they offer you all day a mini bottle of water and they mix some loaves of bread between 20 people cut with their hands and thimble size goat cheese, cut with dubious hygiene of the place, until 3 in the afternoon they do not take us to eat and when we arrive another disappointment, first course soup with 30 degrees, minimum pieces of chicken and bring a Cus Cus with little vegetables and a minimum tea with 1 cookie per person the size of a large coin and the worst is that they charge the drinks!!!!
Then the usual trade with people, 2 hours are lost for tourists to hear the benefits of creams and species even if they do not want to buy and carpets, leather and souvenirs wasting time instead of knowing the city or the beaches mosques or whatever and time is lost to travel earlier, they do not give you time to pry in the same market that you go with the group so you spend where the guides are interested. I DO NOT RECOMMEND IT TO WASTE TIME AND MONEY, YOU ARE CHARGED 150 EUROS AND CIVITATIS SELLS AT 100 EUROS THE SAME AS IT IS NOT WORTH THE SACRIFICE OF TRAVEL

I do not recommend it - Despite the kindness and availability of the guides, this trip to Tetouan was for me the worst travel experience. The visit was limited to the medina, without discovering other places of interest.
At the restaurant, no alternative was offered: we all received the cheapest dish on the menu, without drink included, which is unacceptable in a package. I spent the whole day hungry, while the guides ate apart from a totally different meal.
The shop at the end offered very few souvenirs, which is not surprising since we never left the medina. To top it off, we didn’t return to the hotel until after midnight, exhausted and disappointed.
I didn’t enjoy anything about this trip and I won’t do it again.
