Wonderful way to see Tanji when you have a limited amount of time. Our guide was very friendly and knowledgable and was able to answer all our questions. The highlight for us was riding on a camel

Jasmine Tours
Coming from a cruise ship, Jasmine met us on the pier. A comfortable van awaited for our small group. We learned about the religion and visited a mosque and peeked inside. Beautiful! The camel ride was a thrill and going through the casbah and shopping the Medina was interesting. Our favorite was the mint tea and snack. So good! We highly recommend Jasmine Tours! Everything we wanted in this tour.

Excellent communication, informative and friendly guide!
This provider communicated better than any provider I've ever used. Booking confirmation was received very quickly, questions sent via messaging were responded to almost immediately. We even convinced two other cruise passengers to join us based on the operator's responsiveness! Tour guide met us exactly where they said they would, holding a sign with our name! Tour was enjoyable and informative, would definitely recommend! The only slightly disappointing part was that we were not able to stop at the Atlantic/Mediterranean sign due to the crowds. Finally, bring water with you for the camel ride at the beach. While it was a good experience, the walk back up to the parking area was hot and strenous!
