This is a good tour. Small group. Not private. We were on a Celebrity cruise and this tour was a great introduction to Tangier.
Thank you for Nice review
We booked a day trip from Spain to Tangier, and went on a private tour (6 people). Big thank you to Mustafa who took us around and made the day very fun, enjoyable and full of things to do. Couldn't have asked for a better guide - there was plenty of time to go around and see the different sights, listen about the history of Tangier, as well as time to wander around in the markets. Mustafa was also really helpful by making it clear we didn't have to buy anything, and all of the vendors we were shown were lovely with no hard selling. Overall we had a great time and if we'd have known it would have been so good, would have looked at booking a tour across a few days so we could visit other places!
Thank you so much for nice review
Advertised as a private tour. It was not. Tour spent 30 mins at a ‘handicraft factory’ then at a ‘spices and oils’ shop. This was not what we signed up for. Had to have group lunch; no choice of where to go. Little time to shop in souk — just a quick walk through. Such a disappointment!!! Tour guide was apologetic but didn’t do anything about it. Very little info re history of the area. Such a disappointment!!! Save your money!!!
I informed you that the Cuise ship was so big and the tour guides in Tangier were not enouph , so we were obliged to group two private tours in one , you and an other consists of 10 persons
Said was the perfect tour guide!! I was wanting to have a great experience with my wife in Morocco, but wasn’t sure who to book with. He made sure we got to everything we wanted to see during our time. He was very knowledgeable and friendly. I would recommend him to anyone. Very professional and accommodating. We booked the private tour through him and loved it. I am glad I booked my tour with Said.
Thank you so much for Nice review
We did a private day trip that included Hercules caves walking through the large and small markets, seeing some of the major neighborhoods. Moroccan lunch and a little free time shopping. They helped us get ferry tickets, provided private transportation in a van and gave us highlights of major points of interest throughout. They transported us to and from the ferry. All went great and the day was very easy and enjoyable for us. Highly recommended!
Thank you so much for Nice review
Thank you Said for the fantastic tour of lovely Tangier! You were the best and we appreciated your time, knowledge, friendly manner. Also, thank you for taking us the fabulous shop with all the textiles! Can hardly wait for all our items to arrive in the USA! Very Best Always, Three Older Ladies and Daughter Mary:)
Thank you for this nice review. I am glad I worked with you All your Gifts will soon be at your home
We’ve spontaneously booked this trip and enjoyed a very scenic and exciting tour. The walk through the old city was amazing because Said, the tour guide took us through so many nice places, hidden markets, cafes and restaurants. A memorable experience! Thanks Said
Thank you so much machro for beautiful review
It was a very good service .we left axseeater and a jacket and Said took the trouble to take it to the ferry so we could pick it up on Tatifa
Thank you for this beautiful review. I will be waiting for you next year until we start the tour of all of Morocco, Fez, Marrakesh, Casablanca
Said was waiting for us when we exited the cruise ship. His knowledge of the area and all of Morocco was excellent. He was fun and charming and when we asked about specific shopping items, he took us through the tangle of quaint alleyways to get to where we wanted. I’d have to say riding a camel was the highlight of the tour! If I go back to Morocco, I would hire him to go to Marrakesh and Fez also
Thank you for this beautiful review. I will be grateful. I will see you next year until we start a tour to Morocco, Marrakesh, Fez
Contact Said for the TripAdvisor opinions… and I WAS NOT WRONG!!! It was a wonderful experience from the clear and punctual pick-up, Said was waiting for us with a paper with my name, we got into a Vito Mercedes van, impeccable, they offered us water and we started the tour through the new part of the city, a beautiful place that was perfectly clean, everything freshly painted white and Said explaining everything to us. The first stop Said invited us to have tea, my daughter who was hungry ordered something that Saud suggested was like a good pancake with almond butter and almonds on top, the tea was served spectacularly and all this under a veto with a vine above in front of the sea… wonderful and that's how the whole tour was, he asked us where we wanted to eat and at what time and we continued the beautiful, fantastic and wonderful tour as well as some spectacular shopping… Thank you Said, you are a great professional… P.S. We forgot our sweaters and jackets in the car and Said sent them with a friend by ferry the next day YNA WONDERFUL!!! Ma can't ask
Thank you for this beautiful review of my company. I hope to see you next year, God willing
