What our Clients Say About Our Morocco Tours from Spain ?

Michael Day trip from Tarifa to Tangier

Moha met us right when we got off the ferry from Tarifa. We ate, shopped and hung out with the locals. Upon arrival at the dock, he picked us up in a beautiful Mercedes van that comfortable sat me, my wife and two adult kids. his English is perfect! He had a complete grasp of the history, the politics and the Tangier/Morocco culture - it was truly fascinating.

Camille Highly recommended

Our tour with Muhammad was incredible. We reserved a day tour and took the ferry across from Spain. He was extremely easy to find, as he met us just outside the terminal holding a sign with our name. He grew up in Tangier, so had a lot of insight and knowledge of the area and people. Just as an example of how local he is, we ran into 2 of his family members as we walked through the medina. He took us to everything most tourists wanted to see, but he tailored our tour to make sure we got to spend more time with the things we enjoyed. He didn't waste our time with things we weren't interested in. Most important, unlike other personal tours we've done in other parts of the world, he never tried to "corner" us into specific shops to get us to try to buy things we don't want. He even changed the order of our itinerary so that we could do the walking portion of our tour before the rain set in. His English was great. And he speaks many other languages. I can't begin to explain how great he was with our children (6 an 11). He made sure they were well taken care of and even spoiled them with a couple snacks at the market. I would highly recommend anybody thinking of taking a tour in Tangier to book it with Muhammad!

Genevieve Day trip from Malaga

The entire team was so professional, from the booking, transportation arrangements, directions through the port and the boat, and the return. They answered my numerous questions and were thorough in their communication for all parts of the planning. I was able to see so many things in such a short period of time. I really appreciate how thorough they were and very respectful of me as well. I didn't feel uncomfortable being a solo female traveler. It was quite safe as well. The tour guide Abdel was so knowledgeable and interesting in his telling of the area's history, culture, politics, religion etc but without being overwhelming. To say I learned a lot would be an understatement. Both drivers (pickup/ drop off and during the tour) were safe drivers and interesting as well. Mohammed, the tour main contact did an excellent job making sure he thoroughly understood my interests as well as communicating what to do, how, and when. Thank you for an amazing, safe, and memorable trip ever!

Hans Marbella to Tangier
