About this activity
Your guide will be waiting for you at Tangier’s harbor holding a poncard with your name, upon arrival the adventure begins. he will take you for a fascinating private tour of the old town (medina), the kasbah and the souks of Tangier.
The morning walking tour of the medina will also include a visit to the fortified Kasbah, one of the city’s main attractions. The Kasbah is built on the highest point of the city and has excellent views out over the Straits of Gibraltar and neighbouring Spain. Within its gates lies a large marble courtyard that leads to the Dar el-Makhzen, a former Sultan’s palace built in the 17th century, which today houses the Museum of Moroccan Art.
At the end of our walking tour we will continue our Morocco adventure, we will explore the surrounding countryside and stop to visit the Caves of Hercules on the Atlantic , associated with the Greek hero Hercules. This striking cave resembles the map of Africa. According to Geek legend, Hercules rested here after digging the Strait of Gibraltar. This vantage point offers an exceptional view of the Strait of Gibraltar and the Atlantic Ocean.
Next stop is Cap Spartel at the extreme North-West of Africa. Known as the Cape of Vines in ancient times, a lighthouse today stands guard over Cap Spartel. We will also visit the hills of Tangier where the architecture serves as a reminder of the colonial days when the city was ruled by the English, American, French and Spanish. Late afternoon back to the Ferry. End of your Morocco day excursion.

Hamid was absolutely awesome and fantastic. This is the ONLY WAY TO GO for a day your of Tangier and Hamid was the best of the best!! They picked me up at the ferry from Tarifa. He had a driver with personal cab. We went to a ton of great sights in a 4 hour period, he was extremely informative, he took great pictures, he was funny, friendly, engaging, and the driver was really nice too. We went to great beach and vista sights in addition to the Kasbah. It concluded with him taking me to a restaurant where I purchased a great lunch for an awesome price that was traditional Moroccan food. They then brought me back and made sure i got on ferry OK. My trip to Morocco wouldn't have been ANYTHING without this tour. It was the most comortable enriching experience you could have in a day.
