Our tour was absolutely fantastic. Majid is a top notch tour guide and Abdul is a great driver and person. We thoroughly enjoyed the camel ride. It is many steps down to the beach to meet our camels. I told Abdul that I didn’t think I would be able to go back up and he arranged with the camel guide to have the camels bring us up the hill back to the parking lot. That was so thoughtful. Our walk through the narrow alleys of the souk was so much fun. Majid did not rush us or push us to purchase from certain sellers although he did tell us about a few places and asked if we wanted to go. I thought that was very thoughtful. We also saw where the Atlantic and Mediterranean meet, a lovely park where the locals were enjoying a perfect day and the northernmost point of Africa. All in all the very best tour of our entire 21 day cruise.

Karim led us on a spectacular adventure through the best of Tangier. He put every effort into personalizing our experience. He contacted me before the trip to ask what we most wanted to see and do, was waiting in front our our cruise ship port early for pick up, took us to the most beautiful sites throughout the new city and old Medina and delivered us back to our boat with plenty of time to embark. His knowledge of Tangier history and culture runs deep and he shared it all with us with great warmth and pride. He treated us like family in town for a visit and we left feeling like we had made a life-long friend.

This tour agency is family run by Karim and his family. Prior to the tour, Karim communicated all the details the day before, so we were clear and there was no guessing. Majid, our tour guide, was promptly at our guest house at 10 min before the tour start time. He was extremely knowledgeable and took us through the old town while sharing nuggets from the history of Tangiers. His English was impeccable. When we were overcharged by a vendor while on our tour, Karim took it personally and stepped in to provide us with a cash refund out of pocket, and insisted he would take the merchandise back to the vendor himself. Ive never encountered this level of customer centricity in any tour anywhere. I will hopefullu return to Tangiers soon, and when I do, I hope to deal only with Karim.

This tour was the perfect introduction to Tangier. A friend and I booked the tour a few weeks in advance, and the owner/operator, Karim, texted me almost immediately to confirm everything. Communication before the tour was excellent. We were asked if we'd be open to sharing our private tour with two other travelers, making us a group of four. We were happy to say yes, and it ended up making the experience even more fun. Our guide, Jasmine, was absolutely wonderful. She was warm, knowledgeable, and genuinely kind. Rather than feeling like we were being led through a checklist of sights, it felt like we were exploring the city with a friend who knew every hidden street, every story, and all the right people. Not to mention as a follow woman, seeing the city from that perspective was just incredible. We wandered through the Medina to the Kasbah, strolled down quiet streets lined with beautiful architecture, met some memorable locals, browsed bustling markets (the olive displays alone are worth seeing!), admired the exteriors of several stunning mosques, and visited a historic synagogue. Learning that it's lovingly maintained despite Tangier's Jewish community now numbering fewer than 20 people was a moving example of Morocco's respect for people of all faiths. Jasmine was also incredibly generous throughout the tour. I won't spoil the surprises for future guests, but everything she shared with us was delicious and thoughtfully chosen. By the end of the experience, I felt like I had gained much more than an overview of the city. I came away with a genuine appreciation for Tangier, its history, and the warmth of its people. I would recommend this tour to anyone visiting Tangier, especially if it's your first time.

Wonderful tour of Tangier with Jasmine. Showing us all the sights, tailoring it to our needs and keeping the group small with just us and another couple. Jasmine was there to meet us early. Her brother Karim contacted us beforehand to understand what we were interested in to make sure it suited our needs. Would recommend. Thank you!

We had a fantastic tour of Tangier and learnt so much about the history, architecture and culture. Thank you so much to Jasmine our guide who was so knowledgeable and friendly. It was a really small, personal tour and this meant we could ask lots of questions and have the tour tailor made to us, shopping for spices and even a traditional Moroccan mint tea and almond cake. Delicious. I would highly recommend this trip.

Amazing experience, our tour guide Hamza was great. Funny, nice and went out of his way to make our trip with him worth it. He even offered to take our photos on multiple occasions. We would 100% recommend booking this experience if you plan on traveling to Tangier.

This was hands down one of the best excursions we did on our trip. If you’re on the fence, book it. Karim was great to work with ahead of time, super responsive and made everything easy to coordinate before we even arrived. Once we got there, our guide Hamza took over and absolutely made the experience. He was knowledgeable, easygoing, and really went out of his way to make sure we had a great time. What really stood out to me was that this was actually a private experience. A lot of tours say “VIP” or “small group,” but then you end up with a bunch of other people. That wasn’t the case here, it was just my wife and me the entire time. Even though it’s listed as a shared tour, each booking gets their own guide, so it feels much more personal and relaxed. The itinerary was also flexible. Hamza tailored things to what we were most interested in, which made it feel less like a scripted tour and more like exploring Tangier with someone who really knows it. The camel ride along the coast was a great experience, but this tour is so much more than just that. We also added the Hercules Cave for a few extra dollars, and it was 100% worth it. Definitely don’t skip that. Being able to explore inside, and even get photos with a monkey and macaw, made it even more memorable. Overall, we felt completely safe and well taken care of the entire time. Hamza also helped us navigate the markets and made sure we weren’t getting taken advantage of, which we really appreciated. Highly recommend this tour, especially if you’re looking for something that feels more personal than the typical group excursion.

I would definitely recommend this tour. Karim was great to work with from the beginning and made sure we had all the information we needed before our excursion. Our guide Hamza was amazing. He was knowledgeable, friendly, and really went above and beyond. He took photos for us at all the best spots, explained everything clearly, and even helped us negotiate at the market. We ended up with a beautiful rug. The whole experience felt safe, comfortable, and well organized. We felt much more at ease and enjoyed the experience so much more having Hamza as our guide!
