Ruled through the centuries by waves of conquerors including Romans, Vandals, Byzantines, Arabs and Portuguese, the city is more than two and a half millennia old, making it one of North Africa's most ancient. The medina, kasbah, bazaars and souks are among the country's most vibrant, and the beaches are excellent. In the last century, Tangier became a hot spot for the international jet set.

5.0 based on 5 reviews
Fez is enthralling tradition In its heyday, Fez attracted scholars and philosophers, mathematicians and lawyers, astronomers and theologians. Craftsmen built them houses and palaces, kings endowed mosques and medersas (religious schools), and merchants offered exotic wares from the silk roads and sub-Saharan trade routes. Fes is a city whose cultural and spiritual lineage beguiles visitors. Something of the medieval remains in the world’s largest car-free urban area: donkeys cart goods down the warren of alleyways.

Achraf organized for us a private tour of Chefchaouen. As a guide he is punctual, organized and tuned into the interests of his guests. He had so much to share with us about his country and the history of its people and culture in the Chefchaouen area. He takes great pride in making the most memorable experience for his guests. When we were setting up the extended set of arrangements, he provided valuable advice and guidance on accommodations to maximize our experience.

Omg! I cannot express enough how amazing this trip was! Nizar, was a great driver! He even drove us to the airport the next day. And let us DJ in the car. He drove a sweet, and super comfortable, Mercedes! Nouaman, was an incredible tour guide in Chefchaouen! I highly recommend him! Funny, intelligent, patient, good photographer, and great recommendations! And a cat lover! It was even his birthday on our tour. You can’t go wrong! Chefchaouen is beautiful! And we purchased our best and favorite souvenirs there. We booked through Viator tours... but had we known, we would have just booked direct. This was a highlight on our trip to Morocco.

On a recent trip to Morocco we were given an opportunity to have an extra day of leisure in Casablanca. With some research we soon realized that we would be seeing all of the top attractions in Casablanca during our tour so we started to research the day trips available from Casablanca. This day trip to Tangier drew our attention because it was one place not included in our tour but we were unsure of the tour because it had no reviews. We decided to take a chance and we were very pleased. In fact, this day trip was one of the highlights of our trip. We were met at the Tangier train station by our local guide Bilal who was excellent. Bilal and the driver took the three of us on a fantastic tour of Tangier which included the Tangier Medina, the Hercules Cave and much more. We had a delicious lunch in a small family run local restaurant which was not included but was reasonably priced. We even had a chance to take a ride along the beach on some dromedaries (one humped camels). The high speed (298 km/hr) train ride from Casablanca to Tangier which is include is two hours each way allowing a chance to see the landscaping along the coast of Morocco. Just make sure you receive your train tickets prior to your tour. All in all an excellent day. I would recommend.

We were very lucky, just the two of us to have Mohammed to ourselves. He adapted the entire visit according to our wishes and requests. Nothing was forced on us. Born and raised in Fez, he was able to share stories of life in the town and personal anecdotes. We thoroughly recommend a day trip.
8. Casablanca Private tour “Day trip from Tangier”
Following the foot steps of Humphrey Bogart & Ingrid Bergman. The French administration carefully planned the new Atlantic face of Morocco, while allowing the old parts of the interior to wither into mere historical monuments. The fusion of cultures, Moroccan and French, seems to complete and intricate here that one can easily forget that the battle for independence was chiefly fought on the streets of Casablanca. Morocco's future national and political growth is inextricably linked with actions of this great city.

We enjoyed an absolutely amazing tour of Fes with Achraf and another guide he had arranged for to provide us with the full experience Fes had to offer. Achraf takes enormous pride in ensuring his clients have the full authentic experience each of these areas in Morocco has to offer. We enjoyed many aspect of the area but the one that really stood out for us was visiting the ceramic pottery and mosaic artwork factory to meet the people that follow time honoured traditions to design and create these still hand crafted works of art.
9. Rabat Private tour “ Day tour from Tangier “
When the French arrived in the early 20th century, this walled medina by the sea was the full extent of the city. Built on an orderly grid in the 17th century, it is small enough to be easily explored in half a day, but large enough to make getting lost inevitable. Le Tour Hassan Historic Site in Rabat Towering above the Bou Regreg estuary and surrounded by well-tended gardens, this 44m tower is Rabat’s most prominent landmark. It was originally part of an ambitious Almohad project to build the world's second-largest mosque (after Samarra in Iraq), but its patron Sultan Yacoub Al Mansour died before the building was complete. The mosque was destroyed by an earthquake in 1755, and today only this tower and a forest of shattered pillars testifies to the grandiosity of Al Mansour’s plans.

The Malaga Alcazaba stood for a long time as the protector of the Malaga trade route from Granada to the mediterranean. Our guide Mohammed was very knowledgeable and full of passion and rigor , a great guy.
