What our Clients Say About this Malaga to Tangier day trip ?
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!
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.
