Merci beaucoup pour votre commentaire Soyez toujours là bienvenu.
We had a fun morning in Assilah with Abdelkader; he explained anecdotes about the place, and we took a peaceful walk while he shared the history of the medina. It was a pleasure to share the morning with him and the group. Thank you very much.
Mu has Gracias y bienvenidos
Arrival at the port of Tangier where our driver was waiting for us. Route to ASILAH with a stop at Cape Spartel and the “caves of Hercules” Abdel picked us up the next day at the Riad. Visit of his very interesting city. Our group was made up of different nationalities, even though the common language was Spanish, it gave explanations in French too. He also organized the visits of Chaouen and Tétouan with motivated, involved and serious guides. Thank you for making us discover and love your country with each trip a little more.

Tangier completely exceeded my expectations, and a huge part of that was thanks to my guide, Abdul. From the moment we met, it felt less like a tour and more like being shown around by a lifelong friend who somehow knows every hidden corner, story, and secret in the city. Abdul didn’t just guide—he brought Tangier to life. The medina felt like a living maze of history, and somehow he navigated it effortlessly while sharing fascinating stories that made every street and doorway feel meaningful. One minute we were exploring bustling markets full of color and energy, and the next we were standing in quiet, breathtaking spots overlooking the sea that I never would have found on my own. What really stood out was how personalized everything felt. Abdul seemed to read exactly what I was interested in and adjusted the experience on the fly—whether it was history, culture, food, or just soaking in the atmosphere. He also made sure I experienced the best of local cuisine, taking me to places I’d never have discovered otherwise. Honestly, I can’t imagine visiting Tangier without him. If you get the chance to tour with Abdul, take it—he turns a great trip into something unforgettable.
Thanks for your review .you can be welcome any Time
I was in asilah initially just for a day and ended up staying for a whole week! Thanks for the lovely morning walking around town and learning about the history and the people of asilah!! It’s truly a quiet gem in the north, and this wonderful tour really felt like I am a traveller experiencing the culture rather than a visitor! I met some members of the artist collective and saw them live, making carpets, a calligraphy artist and much more!
Thanks for your review.welcome any Time to morocco.
Had a short tour this morning with Abdel as our guide of the Kasbah along with a couple of churches. Very knowledgeable about the Muslim faith and the architecture. Would highly recommend. Ive come to the realization that local guides really do help in understanding the culture and nuances of a City/Country. Abdel El Maimouni.

We had a fantastic day with Abdel touring Tangiers and his home town of Asilah. He is one of the best guides we have had. He contacted us before the tour to confirm details, he arrived on time, he had a wealth of knowledge about Morocco and was very easy to understand. He was very proud of his home town Asilah and his family. We even got to meet one of his daughters and sons and they made us feel very welcome. Touring with Abdel was like being shown around by a friend. Abdel we will always remember your kindness. Thank you for a fantastic day.
