Full description
Today you will be brought face to face with the real Tangier. Start out with a peaceful drive along la Corniche, the central beach, and then visit the east side of the city. From here, you can snap some pictures over the port, and if you're lucky, you might even be able to see Spain from here! Then, its time to head inland and visit Iberia and the California residential area, which is filed with luxurious chalets and villas (a bit like California itself!). Your guide will point out the history of these locations as you are treated to some fine photo and shopping opportunities. Then, head along the coast for a tour of the mythical Hercules caves. These caves are said to have once housed the hero, and you can decide for yourself what parts of the legend to believe. After the caves, it's time to come to the real heart of Tangier, with a walking tour of the Kasbah. This 15th century fortress has been rocked by a tumultuous history, and as a crossroads of life here in Tangier, serves as a meeting grounds for people of all walks of life. The archeological museum offers a nice contrast to the packed and colorful streets. There's no shortage of people trying to sell you things, so keep a close eye for the best bargains. Afterwards, head to the fruit and vegetable market for a different kind of commerce. Here you can taste all sorts of delectable fruits and olives, and also get a good look at Mendoubia, with its 800 year old Banion Tree. There is a chance for a mint tea in the Petit Socco before returning back to our starting point.

We had a lovely time seeing many of the sights by car and on foot (through the Medinas and the Casaba). Our guide was very knowledgeable, friendly and flexible. He helped us find a good lunch spot and was very accommodating. Overall we had a nice experience and saw many parts of the city we may not have seen otherwise. Just to note camel riding and Hercules cave are not included in the tour and require separate payment.

My friend and I enjoyed this tour a lot! I'm originally from Morocco and my friend is visiting from the US, and we booked this guided tour last minute but we did not regret it! Starting from our super friendly driver, Ahmed, who was so kind and entertaining, to our great tour guide, Ben, who was very knowledgeable and passionate about explaining the different cultural and historical aspect of the city--- we loved it all! We got to visit Cap Spartel, Hercules caves, the old medina and markets, and the Kasbah. We also drove around California neighborhood, royal palace and several other interesting neighborhoods while enjoying different panoramics. This was truly great! I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Tangier for the 1st time!

Excellent 6 hour tour. Everything was worth seeing. Comfortable, went at our own pace, not rushed. When we were drawn to something, the guide gave us the freedom to explore, or we could ask to see something and he took us there, such as a beautiful Jewish Synagogue down a tiny alley in the Médina which we never would have found on our own.
