Liked everything - We loved the experience. Everything was adorable. However, the next time we wouldn't buy from the places that the guide took us to. The prices there were too high comparing to other places.

Very good trip - Very well organized, they take you and bring you and time is enough to see Tangier. Arrive at least an hour early to avoid trouble. The guides were very friendly.

Excellent tour - Boat was good, bus then into the city and a walking tour with an optional further 2 hours. This is worth doing as the guide shows you all the sights and stops off at spice shops etc. He also took us to a good restaurant there we had a traditional Moroccan meal for a very reasonable 15 euros. Further 2 hours left to explore on your own before getting the bus back to the ferry.

Good visit - The visit was pleasant, the guides, both Iman and Ali and another boy who accompanied them, were charming. The food part is great, we were even able to repeat some dishes and we loved the atmosphere. I would have liked to have had more time to explore the city or learn more about its history, but as it is a one-day excursion, time is enough. It seems like a good way to have a first contact with the country.

Very disappointing - We found the trip to Tangier from Tarifa quite disappointing. The boat ride itself involved lining up for practically the whole time for passport checks. But worse was the experience in Tangier itself. Our guide was not good. She basically took us around the markets to different shops where she obviously had a relationship with the owners and we were sat down and given a sales pitch on their wares. The pressure was uncomfortable and we weren’t in the mood for buying stuff we didn’t need. At the end of her tour she let us have free time for 2 hours… but we’d already seen enough and just sat around avoiding more harassment to buy stuff and waiting for the time to catch the boat back. When we went to get the boat back, our guide said goodbye and failed to tell us that she had given the travel documents that we needed to board the ship to another guide. The ship officials didn’t let us on board and there were many of us left confused trying to work out what we needed to do. Finally the other guide turned up with the documents. I wouldn’t recommend this tour.
