Private Day Tour, Met at Tangier Port

About this experience

This one is run from the Moroccan side. You take the ferry from Tarifa (tickets included) and a guide from Tangier advantours meets you as you come off, holding a sign that reads "Omar tour". From there it's a private car with WiFi, coffee or tea, a guide in English, French or Spanish, and lunch. The listing gives 8 hours.

The highlights listed are the Caves of Hercules, a camel ride on Achakkar beach, Perdicaris Park (the Rmilat forest on the hills west of the city, about 70 hectares, with the villa of Ion Perdicaris), Cap Spartel, the King's Palace and museums. Guests report good food, lots of stops and a camel ride, and they name Omar and Said as the guides.

Two things to check. First, the listing's long description is mostly about Casablanca, with the Hassan II Mosque and the rest, which looks like a copy error. Confirm the Tangier itinerary with the operator in writing before you pay. Second, the title says "from Tarifa or Algeciras": the Tarifa ferry lands at Tangier Ville in the city centre, but ferries from Algeciras go to Tanger Med, about 40 km east. Tell them which port you arrive at. With 4 reviews, all 5 stars, the record is perfect but very short.

Tips before you book

  • Message the operator through GetYourGuide before paying and ask for the Tangier plan. The listing text is about Casablanca.
  • Say which ferry you're on and which port it lands at. Tarifa boats land at Tangier Ville.
  • Look for the "Omar tour" sign only. Men offering help outside the port are not your guide.
  • Ask whether the King's Palace is a visit or a photo stop outside.
