Itinéraire
Le parc Perdicaris s'étend sur 70 hectares entre mer et montagne. Connu aussi sous le nom de Rmilat, il offre une grande richesse naturelle et culturelle. Ancienne propriété d'un diplomate américain, elle appartient maintenant à l'État marocain, qui est chargé de son entretien et de sa conservation.
Le cap Spartel est fréquemment désigné à tort comme le point le plus septentrional de l’Afrique. Il est le point le plus au nord-ouest de l’Afrique continentale. Le cap culmine à 326 m. au sommet de Jebel Quebir où il y a une tour. Il y a une autre tour plus près du bout du cap qui sert de phare. Près de Cape Spartel se trouve Spartel Bank, une île engloutie supposée par certains comme l'emplacement de la légendaire île de l'Atlantide. .
Situées à Achakar, à l'ouest de Tanger, les grottes d'Hercule comptent parmi les monuments historiques les plus célèbres de Tanger. Les visiteurs locaux et les étrangers fréquentent cet endroit légendaire qui vient d'être rénové. C'était en l'an 5000 av. que ces cavernes, creusées par les vagues de l'océan, ont été découvertes. Les grottes d'Hercule ont une entrée naturelle dans l'océan Atlantique, qui a étrangement adopté la forme du continent africain.
Musée de la Kasbah où l'architecture est aussi attrayante que les objets exposés. Installé à Dar el-Makhzen, un ancien palais de sultan au bord de la médina, l'établissement dispose d'un jardin dans une cour traditionnelle et propose des expositions sur l'histoire de Tanger, de la préhistoire aux grandes dynasties islamiques qui ont forgé le Maroc
La médina de Tanger (vieille ville) dévalise la falaise en direction de l'océan dans un labyrinthe de ruelles étroites. Le vortex central de la médina est la place du Petit Socco, où des vieillards sont assis pendant des heures à boire du thé et à jouer au backgammon. Au cours de son passé rapide, la médina était un terrain de jeu pour l'auteur Paul Bowles et les figures littéraires beatnik américaines telles que Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg et William Burroughs. Flâner dans cette zone est un passage obligé pour les visiteurs de Tanger. À l'ouest du Petit Socco, rue Siaghine, se trouve l'église de l'Immaculée Conception, construite par les Espagnols en 1880. À l'est de la place se trouve la Grande Mosquée.

Was a super neat tour. We got to see and learn a lot. It is quite a bit of walking downhill, so keep that in mind. I was a little disappointed that we didn’t get an opportunity to spend more time in the markets, instead just stopping at a few affiliated shops. Or guide changed a few times when we changed location but our original guide Neil? (Pronounced like ‘Nail’) was beyond knowledgeable and did such an amazing job explaining everything and answering all of our questions.
Great tour of Tangier with Omar, a very knowledgeable and friendly guide. We also had a driver who navigated the narrow streets with ease! We went to the Caves of Hercules, the Kasbah and the Medina which is the old section of Tangier. Although very hilly, the walk was well worth it! Would definitely recommend this tour!
The first guide was knowledgeable but he passed us off to his partner who took us specific stores that he may have got paid for.
Very good guide. Achraf was very knowledgeable about his country and Tangier. He was helpful and keen do what we wanted. We had a good tour of the city and saw panoramic views from a parkland area. He took us to Spartal lighthouse where we had coffee and mint tea.We went to the Caves of Hercules too which were good to see. It was just our guide and a driver and us, so it was very personalised. We then did a tour of the medina market which was an interesting maze of small streets. Achraf seemed to know everyone! Local people were very friendly. The only criticism we would make was that we were taken into certain shops to see goods and products that we weren't really interested in. This is fairly normal , in our experience, where I suspect the guide gets a commission if we buy anything but it does become rather tedious. Once we made it clear we weren't going to buy he moved on. Overall I can recommend Achraf. He was bright and cheerful and keen to please.
We had a great experience with Achraf our tour guide. He was extremely knowledgeable and steered us away from the touristy places. Great personality. I highly recommend him.
Name of Guide was Achraf Abdeddaim who was fantastic. He asked at beginning what we wanted to see on 4 hour tour. we told him and what we saw was exactly what we wanted. Very much on time to begin & end tour.
The first part of the tour is extremely well put together. The tour guide was very informed and able to answer all questions about the history and culture. The tour was designed to accommodate those with mobility differences. On the second part of the tour, which is termed as a "walking tour," please be prepared to experience the market with a full detailed presentation of items in various shops. You are strongly encouraged to make a purchase. If you are not interested in shopping, you may want to exit this part of the tour. You are given this option and they will return you to the point of pick up.
Thank you for sharing your experience! We’re happy you enjoyed the historical and accessible part of the tour. We appreciate your feedback about the walking tour and will work to make the experience more comfortable for all guests. We hope to see you again in Tangier!
Great tour covering the key highlights of Morocco with an extremely knowledgeable local guide. Perfect for cruise passengers with only a day to experience Morocco. Small group with only 6 of us so plenty of opportunity to ask questions and no extra costs on route, everything was covered within the tour price. Be prepared though it is an awful lot of walking! Our tour was meant to be 4 hours but it actually took 6 hours and we were all absolutely exhausted by the time we got back to the ship.
Thank you for your detailed feedback! We’re glad you enjoyed the tour and appreciated the small group experience. Noted about the extra walking time—we’ll keep improving to balance the pace.
Very good experience- would not have done this except with a great guide - communication was absolutely excellent- bring good shoes and a positive attitude and you are in for an experience of a lifetime
Thank you for your lovely feedback! We’re delighted you enjoyed the Kasbah and the tour—great advice about good shoes and a positive attitude!
This trip was great, although we did not go into the cave. The line was just too long to get in and there were other places to go. Hamid was an excellent guide. He spent a lot of time discussing the history of the Kasbah and the Medina. He then guided us to an excellent restaurant when the tour was over. We highly recommend this tour.
Thank you for your kind review! We're glad you enjoyed the tour with us. Hope to welcome you again!
