Excellent visit! - Fantastic visit, despite the heat, thanks largely to the professionalism of the guides, Estefanía and Bashir, who made us fall in love with the city, showing us each charming place in the area. If we come back, we will definitely repeat with them

Excellent first contact - We had a great time. An excellent opportunity for a first contact with the city, we also met the lesser known but more authentic and beautiful Tangier. Amine the best, who accompanied us in this experience making it even more beautiful. Recommended 100%

Maravilla - We do not like it, WE LOVE IT!!!. Nice walk, wonderful Estefania, close, cheerful and pending everything, was a friend more. The charming tour, Bashid explained everything splendidly and for the price of the tour met our expectations of more. We went without food included, we got 15 euros per person and they put everything we recommend.

Great stay - A magnificent day of immersion in the heart of Tangier where we could walk the streets, discover different shops (herbalist , weaver...), eat in a typical restaurant. Bashir is a very good Guide who has shown interest for all of us.

You have to see it because it's special, but I don't think it'll come back. - Overall very well. The Ali Guide very friendly and attentive. The worst Moroccan passport control on the outbound ship. How it doesn't change too hard to come back. Cheers.

'Bus tour' a 5 minute trip up the road then dropped off. - Took a day trip booked through DFDS from Tarifa to Tangier last Wednesday (18th September) Paid for a bus tour and 3 hrs free time before being picked up and driven back to the ferry terminal. What actually happened was after the ferry we stood for around an hour before we were taken to a bus by a guy who called himself Mohammed coca cola. My seatbelt didn't work (accept it's a different culture no big deal) We were driven up into town (5 mins due to traffic) Didn't understand a word that was said by the tour guide. We then walked down a hill and were told to have free time, or accompany the tour guide (but for more ££) The souk was definitely worth seeing as was a gorgeous roof top restaurant that we had a delicious lunch at (beware the Moroccans don't have change lol) After about 2 hours we had seen everything. We walked to the castle and decided to walk back to the ferry terminal (a 5 minute walk) We saw other people on our bus walking back too. When we got to the ferry gate a very cross man shouted at us saying we had to go back up to the tour guide. My friend asked why, but the chap just got irate. The officer at the ferry entrance looked at the chap shouting (who he was chatting to as we approached) and told us we could enter as we wished which we did. Other people who arrived back on the coach said the man who took us up was in a very bad mood on the return and that the coach had taken less than 2 minutes to drive back from town. So to sum up: It's (for some strange reason) cheaper on the ferry to book a day tour than to just buy ferry tickets. My advice would be to do your own thing once off the ferry. It's a ten minute walk up to town, which is straight opposite the ferry port. Alternatively there's plenty of blue taxis to the left of the port. Another tip is to board the ferry in Tarifa and get your passport stamped at the booth on the ferry asap. The queue was huge and people were still queuing after the hours journey before they could disembark. Very disappointing non existent tour but Tangier's is definitely worth a visit.
