Amazing tour! Definitely recommend! - Karim was an amazing tour guide! We had a private tour of the Kasbah, just me and my husband, then we went to the food market and shopping in the Medina. I am a wheelchair user, and Karim and his team made sure everything was accessible and that the tour was tailored to us! It was a great way to see Tangier!

Best tour guide ever! - We had a three hour private walking tour with Majid as our guide. We travel all over the world and very frequently and have never had a guide who was as knowledgeable, entertaining or accommodating. The owner of the company contacted us before to check what we would like and not like as part of the tour, met us on the tour and followed up after to check we were one hundred percent happy. (We were TWO hundred percent happy!!)I would recommend this company to anyone touring in Morocco!

Great walking tour and fun in medina and souks. - Absolutely recommended tour and must if you want to explore old part of Tangier. It is good to take a guide if you are coming for a first time to Morocco and Karim is a right person to contact. Morocco is a country rich for history and diverse culture, so it is helpful if local person can explain you how the things go on and make it easier for you to get away. Thanks to Karim we saw places we would never discover on our own and we learned so much interesting facts and secrets about this mystery place and Morocco in general. Tangier because of it strategical position has many things to offer and it is an interesting journey and great fun with local people in markets and puzzly medina, very friendly and welcoming atmosphere. If you are interested to buy a piece of traditional art or a small thing, Karim will show the right place. We really enjoyed our time and are happy to discover traditional and local things.

Great Tour and Guide - The tour company was a pleasure to deal with, very responsive to emails and organized. When we walked off the ship, our guide Majid was waiting for our group. He shared his knowledge of Tangier’s history, people and interesting facts about the country throughout our walk. We couldn’t have found a better or more knowledgeable guide. He took us to the local sites, educating us about their history, what was transpiring in Morocco at that time and answered all our questions. . We also had the opportunity to shop in the Medina. I highly recommend this tour.

Walking tour in Tangier old part. - Great tour if you want to explore old town, medina for around 4 hours. We loved the Kasbah and panoramic views. Our guide was very passioned about showing us places and explaining interesting history. His English is fluent and he will make you feel welcome and genuinely cared for. If you don’t mind walking, also steep and narrow streets, then you will discover many interesting places, traditional souks and see busy life that is completely different from the new city. This tour is good value for money and plenty of things to see. Recommended and will come back soon.

Perfect walking tour - Karim was a fantastic tour guide! He showed us beautiful places in medina of Tangier. Kasbah is spectacular place with panoramic views over the Ocean. The best part is to wander around the markets located in the maze of small streets. Great fun bargaining with local salesmen and plenty of interesting things to discover. Karim is very knowledgeable and will answer any question. Tangier is very in rich history and divers culture and it is great to have a guide, so you can experience more local way of life and see hidden sides. We visited many museums, synagogue, beautiful parks traditional houses and mosques. Delicious meal for lunch, everything was excellent, great tour. We recommend it with Karim.

Fantastic tour with a local very honest guide - We booked the Private 3 hour walking tour at very short notice. Karim our guide messaged straight away and worked around us for meet up/pick up times. He is very knowledgeable and told us all about the history of the Kasbah and Medina. He tailored our tour so that we got see everything we wanted to. If you are looking for a tour with a local knowledgeable person then Karim is your man. I would definitely recommend doing this tour. It's such good value.

Treasure trove of knowledge - Majid was a very welcoming and knowledgeable guide and provided digestible information about the history and culture in tangier. Was initially apprehensive about heading to the Medina but had my preconceptions completely turned around and learnt to appreciate and love the city

private tour of the Kasbah - This was a private tour for myself and my wife we wanted to learn about the history and the culture of Tangier. The guide gave us excellent information and most of the tour was good however he ended up taking us into outlets that were trying to sell us carpets etc that we did not want and did not request on the tour. This took quite a bit of time, we didnt visit the souk which we had asked for at the beginning of the tour. When we did not make a purchase our guide lost interest. I would normally have tipped at the end of the tour but because of the way it ended I did not tip.
