APARTRIP Travels · Tarifa port, or pickup on the Costa del Sol
APARTRIP Travels gives your group its own guide and driver for the whole day, with ferry tickets, food and the Caves of Hercules included, and pickup on the Costa del Sol if you start in Málaga. It is the one Tangier day trip on this site that says it is wheelchair accessible.
This is the private version of the classic day. APARTRIP Travels (listed as APARTRIP TRAVELS) sends a driver and a guide for your group only, in Spanish, English, French or Arabic. From Tarifa you meet at the port; from Málaga they collect you along the Costa del Sol, which explains the 10 to 12 hours on the listing: Tarifa is about two hours' drive from Málaga, each way. Ferry tickets are in the price, on what the listing calls a premium-class ferry.
In Tangier the listing covers the colonial and international districts, the Sultan's Palace (today the Kasbah Museum), the Caves of Hercules with entry included, and Cap Spartel, with an optional camel ride on a dune. Then the souk, with its dried fruit, spices and jewellers' street, and a walk through the medina and the Kasbah. Food and drinks are included. Guests report a patient guide, an authentic lunch and, on the Málaga option, pickup right at their apartment.
Wheelchair users: the listing says the tour is accessible and asks you to mention it at booking. The medina is steep and stepped, so ask exactly which streets they'll use. The other caveat is the weather: APARTRIP says it may cancel or reschedule in poor conditions, and the levante wind does stop fast ferries in the Strait. With 20 reviews and a 4.9 rating, the record is small but very consistent.
