Itinerary
The medina, or old city, of Tangier is an open air museum. It is a labyrinth of alleyways both commercial and residential. It's well worth exploring for the many small shops and stalls on offer to buy everything from Moroccan jewellery to fresh seafood, or just to soak in the atmosphere of this fascinating African city.
The Tangier Casbah, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is the oldest part of this bustling city and its historic heart. It is a traditional Moroccan townhouse in the medina quarter of Tangier. It is a walled fortress-like complex that contrasts sharply with the open spaces of the city's souks, or markets.
Hercules Cave is a 10-minute walk from the coast, in the hills overlooking Tangier. The cave, now collapsed and covered with a hill of sand, was once used as a secret meeting place by smugglers and pirates from all around the world. This is the first and only cave in the world with galleries that have been inhabited continuously for more than 40,000 years. Starting from the end of May, discover this natural wonder of nature.
The Grande Mosquée of Tangier was the first mosque in Morocco, an architectural wonder and historic landmark in the heart of the Old Town. Now a National Heritage site, it remains one of the country’s most popular tourist attractions and a symbol of the city. The mosque was founded in 859 on the site of an earlier church that was converted into a place of worship after Mohammed’s arrival in Morocco. It has been rebuilt and remodeled many times since then, and is now known as the Grande Mosquée El-Mansouria. The visit is from the outside.

Our tour began very early with a on time pickup at our Malaga hotel. The car was nice and driver professional. The driver dropped us off at the ferry and we were able to use the provided voucher number to get our tickets. The only ferry issue we experienced was recognizing the line to get our passports stamped. If you wait too long to get in line you may still be waiting after the ferry docks in Tangier. Our guide, Samir, and driver, Mustafa, showed us a thorough view of the natural, cultural, and historical sides it Tangier. We had some event requests which were delivered. Samir took us to lunch at a restaurant frequented by locals and we ate a number of Moroccan dishes with portions too large to finish. We really enjoyed our time with them. The trip back on the ferry was easy and a driver was waiting to meet us when we arrived I at the terminal. A very full day and worth every minute.
Thank you Richard, Samir and Mustafa are fantastic! We are very happy you enjoyed our Tangier Private Tour from Malaga. We will pass along your message to our whole team at Tour Travel & More. The Tour Travel & More Team
This tour was AMAZING! Our guide, Samir Filali was phenomenal, as well as Mohammed, our driver. They were so professional, well informed, personable, and truly provided a wonderful excursion and a memory we will keep for years to come. Samir's deep knowledge of the country, its people, and its history added a rich layer to your journey, making him more than just a guide but someone who felt like family. Pros: the private transport to and from the port was seamless, Samir and Mohammed were helpful and informative, the restaurant and meal were spectacular, the camel ride along the beach was truly a once-in-a-lifetime, ample opportunity for shopping/ haggling. Cons: picking up the ferry in Tarifa was a nightmare, as the FRS Iberia/Maroc, Tarifa Port lost our ticket reservation (this was in no way a reflection of the tour company or guides). Experiencing all that Morocco has to offer through a small group private tour made a HUGE difference, as we were able to move through the attractions and sights at our own pace, with easy access to our guide for questions and picture opportunities. I would absolutely recommend this tour to everyone!
Thank you for the incredible review! The city’s sense of community is truly heartwarming! We are so happy you could enjoy that way with Samir and Mohammed. Please let us know if you need anything else. We are at your full disposal. Thank you once again for the incredible review. The Tour Travel & More Team

Exquisite treatment by the guides. Yamal, lovely. It was a short time in Tetouan but we will return soon to visit the Medina.
We did not go on the tour because our driver that was supposed to pick us up at our hotel at 6:30 AM never showed up. He apparently came at 9:30 AM as the hotel clerk called us. We were scared to go because we were afraid our tour guide in Morocco would’ve thought we not coming. We are asking for a full refund
Hello Mr Robert Anderson. Your message is in complete BAD FAITH and we are very surprised how you can deliberately lie this way. Let’s explain the whole situation. The tour was scheduled for 6:30am. Three days before the tour, we contacted you due to a change in the ferry times because a ferry broke down. We have you two options available and YOU CHOSE the 9am option. The day before; May 1st, we reconfirm the service and you were aware of everything, even responded to our email. You even had Viator contact us on your behalf to confirm the time and details as well as a question about the vaccination. Then, you contacted Viator at 22:30 (10:30pm) the night before the tour, and decided that you had a “medical emergency” and wanted to cancel and receive a refund. We kindly explained than less than 11 hours prior to the tour date and time, this is not possible. When you decide to book your tour, you have the cancellation policy and you have when you receive a free cancellation. If you decide to cancel less than 11 hours prior because you don’t FEEL like going or because of “medical emergency” then I’m sorry, no refund is possible. We explained this and you seemed to accept it. When the driver arrived 10.5 hours later, you didn’t say anything about the time, being scared, this is a COMPLETE LIE, how can you say that? You didn’t even pick up the phone when we called you. You told the driver “we have cancelled this tour, please go”. And now you say that you were scared?? Very surprising Mr Anderson! Luckily we have it all writing. This is bad faith and really demonstrates the kind of person you are. In any case, if any future traveler has any doubts or questions regarding Mr Anderson and his families trip or any other question regarding the Tangier tour from Malaga or Marbella, please contact us directly. Thank you
Our driver from Malaga to the ferry in Tarifa was on time and friendly, and the vehicle was clean and comfortable for our group of four. After the ferry ride, we spent an enjoyable and informative six hours touring Tangier with our guide Samir. He took us to all the important sites sharing his extensive knowledge of Tangier and its history and culture. We felt safe with him and our driver Mohammed from the minute we met them. We enjoyed his company and sense of humor. Our day included a drive through several different areas of the city to get a flavor for modern Tangier, the Caves of Hercules, a short camel ride on the beach, walking tour of the markets and streets of the Kasbah and Medina, and a delicious lunch at La Terraza de la Medina. The museum in the former sultan’s palace was closed on the day we visited (a Tuesday). We recommend our booking company, Tour Travel and More.
Thank you very much for your beautiful words! We are very happy you enjoyed our Tangier Private Tour with Samir! We will pass along your message to our whole team at Tour Travel & More. The Tour Travel & More Team
