Excursão de dia inteiro: Tânger, partindo de Sevilha

We enjoyed the tour, knowing that it would be an endurance challenge ahead of time. The Seville pick portion is the least reliable part of the tour. 5:30 am pick ups meant that only 9 of the 17 people on the tour actually made the bus. Our pick up time was changed only the day before to this early hour and we only found out about it by stopping in a TI office and checking the afternoon before the tour. The minibus was new and comfortable. I think the company has high turnover on guides being this is a 17 hour day. Our guide was only 4 days into the job and she could not comprehend English that was off of the script that well. All in all she did a good job handling the ferry tickets as well as shepherding the group through Tangier with the Moroccan guide Rashid "John Travolta". You can avoid standing in the long line for the Moroccan passport stamp on the trip over to Tangier on the ferry if you wait until the end of the trip over when the line thins. Ferry was clean and had food sales and duty free shopping. Rashid took you around to beach sights, camel rides, residential streets and markets as well as a sit down dinner. Do not expect cleanliness as bathrooms and tableware were dirty. Tour company pushed you through their carpet shop and perfume factory for a sales pitch. Last hour and a half were spent at your leisure in the old town. Expect to run a gauntlet of pushy street vendors at various times in the back half of the tour. They come out of the woodwork from everywhere. Camera moments like snake charmers are also part of the schtick. Tangier area is pretty with the beaches, newer royal palace areas and distinct neighborhoods.

A very long day but well worth the time spent. Our local guide Rafeek in Tangiers was excellent. This tour Included lunch and the tour operator confirmed 3 kosher meals via email and when we arrived at the restaurant in Tangiers for lunch there was no meals for the kosher party of 3. No effort was made to repair the situation. The tour guide from seville Ms Irene was not very concerned . She stated that she was not told about it and was very unprofessional. Tangiers was a fabulous place to visit and the Tour operator did a good job in getting the group across the boarder to Morocco.

We had a great day. Katherine the guide from Naturanda was very professional and friendly and so was Rashid the Moroccan guide. I was looking forward to ride camels and buy a prayer rug in the Médina. So I was very pleased. Lunch was ok but the Sultán palace was closed due to Ramadan. The crossing was very smooth and the temperature was 73 Fahrenheit so we were able to enjoy the place. It is fast paced so is not really for little kids and the street vendors are a nuisance but not dangerous at all. I felt very safe all the time and the streets are very clean and easily walkable.

We had a great time on our tour of. Tangiers. Our guide Rashid was definitely the highlight. He was very knowledgeable, kind and fun! We loved him! All the transfers and pickups were prompt and friendly. Definitely recommended!

Although there is no better way to visit Morocco in a day, there were a few things that could be improved. A six hour round trip as part of a seventeen hour tour is a little rough with no way to reach a bathroom or food or water for long stretches at a time. Theoretically, one could grab something in country or on the boat but it was impossible due to time constraints in country and the boat line was forever long on the way over (not to mention the whole 45 minutes is spent standing in line for customs) and the boat was out of almost all food on the trip back. The camel ride was the highlight, actually. The tour guide was friendly and the lunch was a cool experience, but it should be noted that everything you go see costs something So bring lots of change and small euros.

I loved this tour for it’s exceptional organization. Everything went smoothly. The tour guide Rashid known as John Travolta was amazing. He was speaking five different languages fluently. He took us to the most interesting places to visit in Tangier. At the restaurant we had live local musicians and a belly dancer. The city itself is pretty dirty and has a lot of poor people. For me this tour was perfect because I wouldn’t like to spend more than one day in Tangier. If you’re generous make sure you bring a lot of change with you to help the city’s poor people.

The lady we had on the bus was excellent she really enterained us and was very inforative about the trip. She really looked after us. The two guides we had in Tangiers were good and gave good information along the way. All in all a great day.
