A Culinary Adventure through Moroccan Delights in Tanger - d2cc2db29fdce4c6afa81dd5065cfd27

Embark on a culinary journey with me through Tangier's vibrant streets and markets. I'm passionate about showcasing the authentic flavors that define Moroccan cuisine. As a local food enthusiast, I've explored every corner of this city to uncover hidden gems and culinary secrets.

Born and raised in Tangier, my connection to its culinary heritage runs deep. I want to share the richness of our food culture with you, creating an experience that goes beyond the typical tourist trail. As your guide, I'll take you to the heart of our markets, where the aromas of exotic spices and the hustle and bustle of local vendors will immerse you in the true essence of Tangier.

What makes this tour truly special? We'll explore not only the popular dishes but also the lesser-known gems – the family-run eateries, the secret spice blends, and the traditional methods that make each bite a journey through centuries of culinary history. Expect delightful surprises, like a tasting of homemade sweets from a hidden patisserie or a visit to a spice merchant with stories as vibrant as the colors of their spices.

Join me for an unforgettable gastronomic adventure, where every bite tells a story and every corner reveals a new facet of Tangier's culinary tapestry. Let's savor the moments, one delicious discovery at a time.

Thami was prompt and chose a meeting place that was easy for us to find. We told him we wanted an authentic Moroccan experience and he did not disappoint! We were able to try fresh oysters and olives when walking through the markets and picked up treats to walk around town with. He took us to places we would have never ventured to on our own and explained his city with enthusiasm!!Authentic Food Tour

I recently joined the Thami culinary walking tour, and it was an incredible experience from start to finish! Our guide was exceptionally knowledgeable, sharing fascinating insights into Moroccan cuisine and culture that you wouldn’t find in a typical guidebook. His expertise shone through, and his storytelling kept us all captivated – especially with his great sense of humor, which brought a warm and welcoming atmosphere to the group. The highlight of the tour was visiting a traditional tagine restaurant, where we enjoyed authentic, delicious dishes that showcased the best of local flavors. It felt like a real insider’s experience, offering a deep dive into Moroccan culinary traditions. I left not only full and happy but also with a new appreciation for the rich history and flavors of Tangier. If you’re in town, this tour is a must!"An Unforgettable Culinary Journey "

What can you see in any town if you only have a couple of hours? Not much... Is it even worth it to bother? Well... book a 2 hours Kick Starter Tour with Thami and let him surprise you. Thami is a reliable guide. He picked us up from the port after waiting for us for over an hour. Important tip: make sure you stamp your passport on the ferry, otherwise your disembarkment will take for ever! The walk was pretty fast, but Thami made sure that we were able to keep up with him. His knowledge and passion about the place is impressive. We could not stop anywhere for long but had a nice break at Cinema Rif Cafe. It is well deserved after climbing the hills of Medina. You will be given access to cafe's Wifi so you can post hot of the press snaps of Tangier while enjoying a cup of fresh, strong mint tea. Great spot. And then comes the visit to Tangier's fish market. If like us you haven't been to the Orient you will be greatly impressed. Hustle and bustle of this place is difficult to describe. The noise, colours, flavours and smells and friendly traders tempting you with their exotic catch. The taste of fresh oysters offered to us (courtesy of Thami)... was a cherry on this amazing cake! Thanks Thami! Had a great time! We can recommend Thami and his tour to anyone! Tangier in 3 hours

We had a wonderfull day with our local guide Thami. We were four ladies who now have a good impression of Tangier. We enjoyed his company and his local friends in the city. We could feel his love for his city and his job. We wish him all the best and sure we will recomment him as a guide in Tangier. Tangier with Thami

We met at a cafe in town. Thami ask if we were ok walking briskly. My wife and I are both pretty fit so we said that would be great for us. He guided us through the city, and took us through the markets. He stopped by a looming shop to show us how the rugs, blankets and scarves are made. My wife bought several scarves. Also, there was a stop at an herbal medicine shop. Merchants in the markets are quite pushy, the corridors very narrow, and there is a lot of activity. At the end of the tour he dropped us off at a restaurant, although we said we were not hungry, Thami pointed the way out, and he left. Before we knew it there was an entire meal in front of us, which we just nibbled at. You have to be very assertive with your “NO” in Tangier. Thami also didn’t say the restaurant was “cash only”. We don’t carry cash and refused to use an ATM is that area, so the restaurant owner took us to a nearby shop, I’m guessing he owned as well, and charged our Visa. This was a hassle. Thankfully I have cellular service and could use google maps to get us back to the cruise port. We didn’t mind the pace of the tour but didn’t appreciate getting dumped off at the end. The stops in market feel like your being handled but that’s the whole vibe of the Tangier market. The hustle and bustle of the Tangier streets not for everyone. Fast paced walking tour

Amazing local tour of Tangiers with Thami. We only had a day in the city (cruise ship stop) but we got to see all of it thanks to our expert & professionally qualified guide. The history and the culture here in Tangiers is incredible and we even got to learn a few Arabic words during our walk. And the local market (the one for real-life locals) was absolutely sensational and a real must-do for anyone who loves photography. It was an absolutely feast for the eyes! We ended our tour with a beautiful & delicious local lunch. We loved our time in Tangiers! Thami was excellent & professional and we can highly recommend him- we got to see and learn so much detail that we would have missed had we just wandered around by ourselves. We also felt safe at all times and we weren’t bothered or pestered by people trying to sell us stuff. Using the WithLocals app made it easy to book the tour and communicate with Thami, and we always got an instant response. Highly recommended! Beautiful colourful Tangiers

We visited Tangier for a day via ferry from Tarifa. We had booked a walking tour with Thami and enjoyed the tour and his company immensely. Thami is a top class guide and is full of information about the history and culture of Tangier and Morocco. We had complimentary mint tea enjoying the views from the terrace of the Hotel Continental followed by lunch at a very nice restaurant picked out by Thami. Then we enjoyed a walk through both old and new town areas discovering parts of the city that I know we would never have found on our own especially in the wonderful medina. Thami seemed to know everybody! Visits to spice and fabric shops were included but with no pressure to buy. Thami took time to answer all our questions and we had a really enjoyable and informative time. Highly recommended.Wonderful day in Tangier

Four of us had a private tour with Thami that was wonderful. He communicated with us ahead and time and was always quick to respond. He has a lovely manner about him and is very knowledgeable. He is a good story teller and we enjoyed learning about his beautiful country. The camel ride along the beach was an absolute highlight, as was the welcome to the country with mint tea and a traditional Moroccan treat at a lovely view point. There were many other highlights also. We highly recommend him! Excellent and fun time together. Thami is wonderful

Thami was on time, friendly and informative. He gave us a lot of information and took us to some sights we would never have found without him. He showed us some interesting shops in the souk with no sales pressure. We tasted Moroccan cookies and had some refreshing mint tea. We saw a lot without being worn out.

This was our first time hiring a guide and, and wow, what a difference it made. Thami honed in on our love of learning the history and culture and taught us many things as we walked through the city. We were enthralled by the many beautiful doors so Thami made it fun by taking our picture by many of them. Best of all was getting to meet the artisans: first the owner of the spice shop and learning about the oils and spice blends and then the owner of the textiles who showed us a working loom and the many types of yarn and thread used in their amazing weavings. He also treated us along the way with mint tea and then recommended a lovely spot for lunch that had so many authentic dishes to choose from, including variety plates of salads and desserts so we were able to sample many things in one meal. I highly recommend Thami as a guide and recommend having a guided experience as worth the money!

Thami went above and beyond what we expected to give us a rich and well-informed tour of the Tangier Kasbah and Medina. He came to our accommodation the night before the tour to meet and discuss what we were hoping to experience on our personalized tour. We got so much out of the tour - history, culture but most of all a few hours with a truly lovely young man! Thank you so much Thami!! 🙏🏽Wonderful experience with Thami!

We just spent the day with Thami guiding us on a cultural and historic tour of Tangier and thought he was wonderful in his knowledge, authenticity, and kindness. He met us at the ferry terminal, escorted us through the new and old city, referred us to a great traditional lunch stop and patiently waited as our group randomly stopped to look at trinkets and goodies. We weren’t sure what to expect, but found the city and its people to be a lovely experience and Thami was a great help in guiding us through our day. We hope to see him again one day, as he felt like a friend by the time we departed. Fantastic experience

Wir hatten das große Vergnügen, Thami als unseren Guide für eine Führung durch Tanger zu haben, und es war eine fantastische Erfahrung! Thami ist nicht nur äußerst kenntnisreich über die Geschichte und Kultur der Stadt, sondern auch unglaublich freundlich und zuvorkommend. Er hat uns zu den schönsten und interessantesten Orten geführt und dabei spannende Geschichten und Anekdoten erzählt, die die Tour lebendig und unterhaltsam gemacht haben. Besonders beeindruckt hat uns Thamis Fähigkeit, auf unsere individuellen Interessen und Bedürfnisse einzugehen. Er hat die Tour flexibel gestaltet und uns das Gefühl gegeben, wirklich willkommen zu sein. Seine Begeisterung für Tanger ist ansteckend und hat unsere Reise zu einem unvergesslichen Erlebnis gemacht. Wir können Thami als Guide wärmstens empfehlen und freuen uns schon auf unsere nächste Tour mit ihm! Ein Tag mit Thami

Our tour with Thami was wonderful! We saw sides of the Medina that we would not have otherwise, and learned new things about places with which we were already familiar. Thami himself is warm and friendly, and very knowledgeable. I appreciate how he made sure to tailor the tour according to our interests and wishes, and how he adapted the tour accordingly as it progressed. We had a great journey through Tangier with him and would highly recommend him as a tour guide.Wonderful tour through Tangier

We booked Thami for the Hidden gems-tour, and we could not be more happy with our guide. He met us at the entrance to the city, walked around with us the whole day, showing us everything he thought we would find interesting, which we did, took photos and taught us the history of Tangier. He brought us to a fantastic, authentic Moroccan restaurant, where we had a great time, and walked us all the way to the ferry before departure. We are very happy with our tour with Thami, and hope to come back and visit more of Morocco with him again. Daytime guided tour with Thami

On our first day in Tangier, we booked Thami to show us around. He navigated us through the crowded souks, vibrant markets, and important landmarks. He shared fascinating insights into the city's history and culture. He even teached us some Arabic words. Thami's passion and knowledge really made the tour unforgettable, it felt like we were exploring Tangier with a friend. I'd definitely recommend him to anyone wanting to learn about Tangier's rich history and culture!Fantastic guide in a fantastic city

We travelled to Tangier after first visiting Casablanca. While Casablanca was interesting and full of history, it was overall not a pretty city to visit. There is a reason why many Moroccans and Europeans vacation in Tangier - it is breathtakingly beautiful. It is clean and safe and extremely friendly. Thami made our tour of the Medina enjoyable and fun. He was full of knowledge and knew plenty of locals along our walk. We would highly recommend Tangier as a city to visit and Thami to guide you around!Tangier is a gem!

Best decision we made was to pick Thami as our guide!! We love Tangier beacuse of Thami- we had the most memorable time ever! All the locals knew him well and through out the tour people kept telling us he is the best tour guide! Thami loves his city very much and made us fall in love as well. He took us to all the places he loves and got us to taste the best food Tangier can offer! We enjoyed delicious coffee, pastries, Streetfood, figs, dates and so on!! We got to meet some local musicians, artisans and herbalists. As a part of the tour we went in and out of facinating stores- didn’t feel like we needed to buy if we didnt have to-was grateful for the suggestions as we got some shopping done. When we go back to Tangier ( which we hope to oneday) we will definetly want Thami to be our guide!Pick Thami to show you tangier!

We met Thami outside the cruise terminal and he gave us a very informative tour until it was interrupted and he was unable to finish the tour. He quickly found another tour guide, Azeed, who graciously took over and we had a wonderful day. We felt like we had a nice overview of Tangier and would book with Thami or Azeed again!
