Good trip with excellent staff - The Private Tour to Chefchouen and Fez from Tangier went well overall. We had an initial logistics issue but Omar ensured it got resolved. We started in Targiers and then went onto Fez and Chefchouen and ended up again in Tangiers; the entire trip over a 3 day period. The SUV was in good working order and Rafiq, the driver, did very well on city traffic and highways. The guides in Fez and Chefchouen were knowledgeable but special mention to Yousef, the Chefchouen guide, that guided us enthusiastically in the rain so we could keep on schedule. The hotel we stayed in had good facilities and was comfortable. Omar, the manager and customer service was very attentive and always ready to help in case of any issue.

Would book again! - We could not have done all we did without going with Tangier Tours in Fez! Truly a well rounded journey that balanced history, artisan shops, and countryside. Over 3 days our wonderful guide Muhammad and driver Badr went above and beyond to sure we got the most out of every day. Omar always went out of his way to help us when he did not have to and checked-in even when not physically present for the day. Our hotel stay was pleasant and clean. The transportation was beyond comfortable and always on time. A fabulous price for all that is included. without a doubt would book with them again if traveling to Morocco!

1 day trip though Tanger - We has a very complete 1-day-tour through Tanger. It was very comfortable for my family, composed of three 60+ adults, because most of the transport was done in a private van, with Omar, the tourist guide, telling us important reviews about each site. It was a rainy day which made the trip by car very useful. We went to a delicious typical restaurant recommended by Omar where he took care of everything, and we finally visited very typical shops of good prices to get some of the typical herbs and fabrics.

Fabulous and memorable trip to Morocco - The team that provided us with the tour were extremely hospitable, courteous, professional and helpful. They truly were concerned to ensure that we enjoyed every aspect of our trip. The accommodations were great as were the meals and restaurants. They team ensured we had a fabulous time while accommodating all of our requests. Getting to know our guides was a true pleasure. They certainly worked diligently to ensure that all aspects of the trip went smoothly and provided clear information to ensure that we understood the activities we were undertaking and the expected timeframe. As such, all went in accordance with our expectations. I strongly recommend this tour if your time in Morocco is 3 days and certainly recommend this tour company as they will become your friends and take great care of you. We had a group of 6 people comprising a combination of family and friends and covering teenager, mature adults and elderly persons. All requirements for each participant were accommodated seamlessly for all of us. Thanks so much for ensuring that we had a great and memorable trip. We will be booking again with you if we decide to return to Morocco.

Amazing hospitality - Group of 6 travelers ranging in age from 15 to 84, and our guides managed to keep us all engaged. Great historical and current news, architectural and cultural information. Happily tailored the trip to our interests. One of the guides, Omar, even brought my son to play soccer with his team and invited us for a delicious couscous meal at his home. Thank you for your amazing hospitality Omar!

Moroccan Soul - Six person group, including two elderly adults and one teenager. We toured at the beginning of January 2023 the elegantly picturesque, mysterious and vital country of Morocco. Our tour was highly informative of the history of Morocco, as well as of the communities that we visited and the people who live and work there. We also enjoyed the delicious taste of Moroccan dishes in the restaurants we visited. Other highlights included a visit to a pottery studio, the tannery in Fez, and the mesmerizing blue city of Chefchaoen. I especially enjoyed hearing about Fatima's university in Fez, ( the oldest institution of higher learning in the world), riding my wild camel beside the Atlantic Ocean, and of course, dancing while dressed as a Princess Moroccan Bride!. Our guides and driver were respectful, fun-loving, well-organized, and prompt. The tour is a very good value for the money and I would recommend it to anyone for a first time visit to Morocco. Plus, you will see on the drive through rural areas that there isn't any other kind of green in the world as green as Morroco's mountains and hills. A very beautiful country to visit with a deep beauty in its soul.
