  • 1Not a good day

    I will make short. Booked on private tour called 2 day before stating not enough guides. I voiced that that the should be a price change they said no. I was stuck because there were no other private or other wise with the stops I wanted available now that 2 days away. Figured go with it could not be that bad only 4 people list on chat. Yea that did go well. Morning of tour could not find guide because they were not with the other guides. After everyone got together we had 16 people and some with mobility issues. So much for a private tour.now it is a normal tour not even small group. We made stops not on my list because not all the people were from same tour. Because of the size extra and longer stops. I only made 5 of 9 stops. They did make sure we made the sales stop with there vendor. Tour was not good 16 people packed in a van. Tried talking with sub contracted tour got nowhere so talked viator and they reached out to primary vendor. They got me a refund. Just wanted this out there.

  • 1Scam! Report to Trip Advisor

    Stay away. This is a scam. They will charge for a private tour and then contact you to let you know it’s a “small group” instead and how small groups are better anyway. If you don’t agree, they’ll tell you they’ll refund you but won’t. If you then follow up, they’ll tell you to request a refund, which is a trap because there’s no such thing, it’s just a “Cancel booking” which means the tour operator keeps 100% and you don’t get refunded. They will then proceed to disrespect you through messaging when you point all of this out to them. I hope TripAdvisor can address this Tour Operator permanently. I’ve already called support and taken care of but concerned for everyone else.

  • 2Not what was advertised

    This was supposed to be a private tour. 2 days beforehand we were told that two cruise ships would be in port that day (there were not) and as it would be so busy it would need to be a group tour. I have mobility issues due to a medical condition. I booked a private tour for that reason so we could take things at our own pace. There were no other tours available at short notice so we had no option but to go. The camel ride was something I would have skipped if the tour was private. Our tour guide was lovely and knowledgeable but there was an echo on the speaker in the bus and nobody could understand what he was telling us. The Medina was beautiful but we were rushed through it (again an issue for me as there were a lot of steps down that I struggled with). The rest of the group were left waiting for me and another person to catch up. This was incredibly embarrassing. We were rushing to get to a restaurant for a free lunch we had been offered as compensation for the tour change. We were given no time to shop and when we arrived at the restaurant they were not ready for us. We had to wait for about 40 minutes. The food was disappointing and we had to pay (cash) for the water we used. Overall this tour was really disappointing, not at all what was advertised and I would not recommend it.

  • 1VERY DISAPPOINTING

    VERY DISAPPOINTING. Described as a private tour but the four of us were joined by another dozen people. Tour was barely 3 hours not the 4-6 as described and at least half the time was spent a rug shop and at a chemist both where your given the hard sell. The optional lunch was at the tour owner's restaurant == while optional if you didn't join in you'd have to wait around for an hour while everyone else finished. AND the lunch was expensive for very average food. We ere promised a visit to Hercules caves but did not go in as it was too expensive (10 euro pp). We only drove by the Villa Perdicais -- the guide never even pointed it out (I saw the sign). In town we did not go into the Kasbah museum and never had time to do any shopping in the market. The guide was friendly but not knowledgeable - could not answer basis questions (Limited english skills). The camel ride was fun and the drive around the city was pleasant but you could easily arrange this yourself for a fraction of the price. If you are arriving by the port, the town is easily reached by walking. Save your money.

About Tangier

Tangier sits where the Atlantic meets the Mediterranean, a storied Moroccan port of whitewashed medina lanes, a hilltop kasbah and views to Spain.

The medina climbs from the port to the kasbah, where the old sultan's palace, Dar el Makhzen, holds a museum with views across the Strait of Gibraltar. The Grand Socco and Petit Socco were long the meeting points of the city, and their cafés recall Tangier's decades as an international zone that drew writers, musicians and artists.
