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.

The tour was booked seamlessly with Anass, who immediately emailed the confirmation and gave us the contact details of the driver. Karim picked us up on time and was a very safe driver. He made a stop for a panoramic view near Tetouan & took pictures of us too. At Chefchaouen, Omar showed us all the interesting spots and his knowledge of the history of the place is excellent! He was very sincere and made sure we had a very enjoyable time, patiently waiting till we get all the pictures we wanted! I loved every minute of it! I highly recommend booking this trip!! I would definitely come to book with them again next time we make a trip, as Omar mentioned more interesting places in Chefchaouen to see!

Omar was a wonderful tour guide! He picked me up in Tangier in his van and we went to Hercules Cave, Cape Spartel, and for a camel ride on the beach. The tour was well organized and the views were spectacular! Omar is knowledgeable, speaks great English, and very friendly. He knows Tangier well and can help with anything you need. I highly recommend Omar to anyone who wants a fantastic tour.

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.

Our guide Fued (I hope that’s how you spell it) was personal, interesting, accommodating, and knowledgeable. We had a driver pick us up from the port in a lovely van, and we got to see neighborhoods and several historical sites. After a delicious Moroccan lunch we walked the streets to see Tangier up close and personal. We were taken to a rug store where we did end up buying rugs but be clear if this is something you do not want. I recommend this tour!

Ali Tangier Tours was worth every penny! Ali was very responsive and easy to work with as we started to plan our trip months before. He gave us phenomenal suggestions and we were able to visit many places through out Morocco. When we arrived to Morocco we were met by Abdul, who was our tour guide through out our 10 day adventure. Abdul was an incredible guide, very knowledgeable on the history of Morocco, and genuinely a great person. Sometimes it can be a bit worrisome when traveling to a different country, but Abdul was honest, very trustworthy, and caring, which made the whole entire experience comfortable and amazing to say the least. We started in Tangier, where we were brought to quality spots to eat and shop. Abdul took us around the Médina and gave us a history tour of Tangier. From here he took us to Chefchaouen. On the way Abdul gave us options to stop and see other cities, which we did not think to see, as well as, quality places to eat. Only a local Moroccan would know this information. After our stay in Chefchaouen, we planned to go to Fes. Abdul, once again had many suggestions that were great on our way to Fes. We stopped to see Volubilis, and made a stop in Meknès to see the doors. Here we were brought to my favorite store in Morocco. With out Abdul’s suggestion I would have never gone here! With plenty of time to spare we were able to get to Fes. In Fes, Abdul guided us to the tanneries and through the Médina. He brought us to the top quality spots, which really made a difference. From here we left for Merzouga, to see the Sahara Desert. Once again, Abdul was gracious and knowledgeable through out this 9 hour journey. We made a stop for breakfast, and another stop in Rissani, where we got to a beautiful Rug shop. Once again another great suggestion, these gentlemen were top notch, quality guys. We were met with local cuisine and Moroccan tea. Abdul, helped us set up our quads and Camel ride experience in the Desert. Once again he exceeded our expectations. From here we spent the remaining time in Marrakech. The information that Abdul shared with us prepared us for Marrakech. Everything he said and did was truthful and genuine and I can’t say enough about him as a guide. Ali Tangier Tours really went above and beyond. Ali checked in on us multiple times to make sure our experience was going well. Our experience was the complete Moroccan experience in and out and with out Abdul we would not have experienced half of what we got to. We are truly happy that we chose Ali Tangier tours and we can not say enough positive things. Thank you to Ali and Abdul for such an amazing time!
