Tangier Day Trip from Malaga Reviews
We had a fantastic Tangier day trip from Malaga, we spent time exploring Tangier with our excellent, informative guide, Mohammed. His communication was excellent, the car was comfortable with good air-conditioning, and it was easy to hear Mohammed even from the back seat. We got a good overview of Tangier, and we were very impressed with the cleanliness and beauty of the city. It left us feeling we would like to come back to Morrocco and explore more. I would highly recommend this tour and especially Mohammed.
