For the so called “religious tourism”, Tangier has a huge Christian and Jewish heritage that makes Morocco a very distinguished country for its spirit of tolerance and coexistence. Moroccan Jews have through the history greatly contributed to the richness and diversity of our society and culture! The ancient Jewish quarter “Mellah”, Moise Nahon and Chaare Raphael synagogues as well as Saint Andrew and San Francisco churches are the reflection of this reality.
Tangier has other major attractions such as the Petit and Grand Socco Squares, Mendoubia Parc and the American Legation which has been designated as “National Historic Landmark” for its significance in the history of USA.

The visit with Farid has been GREAT. He's taught us a lot of things. We have learned a lot and it has been very pleasant. Thanks also to Omar who organised everything: we did not have to worry about anything. Thank you so much for everything. We liked it a lot.
Thank you so much for your beautiful review and welcome to Morocco
Excellent tour, they were very knowledgeable and passionate about Tangier. Omar the owner called a few times to check on how everything is going. When my wife had to rest from dehydration he showed up to check on her. Very happy with this tour.
Thank you so much for beautiful review. I’m very welcome anytime to Morocco again.
We spent 2+ great days w Omar. We toured Tangier, Assilah, Blue City and walked waterfall. Great way to see Morocco. Felt safe and was like being toured by a friend. Awesome transportation and lots of information we don't learn in USA. Took us to really good local restaurants we would never have found on our own. Will definitely tour with Omar again when we come back to see more southern Morocco.
Thank you for your beautiful review. Very welcome anytime to Morocco.
English was easy to understand Saw many cultural aspects Took us to see great views Moroccan food selection for lunch was good Omar knew Tangier & it’s people well
I’m happy I did all my best with you and very welcome anytime
Picking us up at the ferry port, Omar and his driver got our tour off to a great start. A traditional breakfast, The Caves of Hercules and the Old Medina were highlights for us. The camel ride on the beach was quite an experience and so much fun! Omar is very knowledgable about his country and eager to share it with visitors.
Tangiers was a wild card entry in our itinerary and like most uncharted places, it seemed straight out of a fairly tale. The confluence of the mighty Atlantic with Mediterranean at Cape Spartel provided us with the most breathtaking view. The proximity to European continent seemed just a handshake away. All this while we had the company of Raddi and Salah, our tour guide and driver from Tangier Advantours. Raddi is a sprightly young man, who knew his job well and was also a great company. Sometimes a day is more joyous than a whole week. We highly appreciate Raddi as well as Tangier Advantours for making our day special. Stay blessed guys.
thank you for your beautiful review very welcome again
I recently visited Tangier and Omar was our guide during the trip and he was very knowledge and passionate about his job we really enjoyed it, I highly recommend the tour to anyone coming to Tangier, it’s worth it for sure.
The private tour with Omar was incredible! I wish I had more time to spend in Morocco on this trip, but with the short time I had, he made sure I saw as much as I possibly could of Tangier and got the full experience. Omar was also great about giving the history and information about every place we passed, as well as tailoring the experience so that it was as personalized to me as possible as we went (and so that I could take many photos and shop)! I highly recommend booking a tour of the city with him, and I can’t wait to come back and spend even more time in Tangier when I can!
Wonderful tour guide experience. Hassan and Rafik were wonderful at guiding us around the city. Hassan's extensive knowledge and excitement to share the history and culture of the city was amazing, and the tour itself was very relaxed and open in its flexibility. We hadn't grabbed coffee or breakfast before the tour started, and Hassan was wonderful in bringing us to a fantastic Cafe with a beautiful view. He also took us through markets where locals shopped and was very honest about how to navigate local culture and business, rather than deferring to tourist spots. Finally, he gave us helpful recommendations for the rest of our trip, sharing enthusiasm with us in our endeavors. God bless you Hassan.
No ID when meeting us at the port. The lunch location, not included in the price, was crazy expensive. They did not include the admissions the website advertised. The private car was actually a taxi. Salah (sp?), our guide, was good and made the most of the disorganization, but I would not recommend Tours by Omar.
