We had a very enjoyable afternoon and evening exploring Asilah and riding camels on the beach with Thami as our guide. He was extremely knowledgable about the area and fun to be around. He also took some great photos and videos of us for social media. I would highly recommend him if you are looking for a guide to the Tangier area.Amazing tour in Asilah

We had a great time on Thami's tour of Tangier. We didn't have long in the city but Thami gave us a great tour. We asked for History and a peak into Tangier culture and life and he more than delivered. The pace of the walk was perfect and we loved the local insights. Great Tour

Thami is a very nice guide. You feel that you are touring with a friend who knows everything about Tangier’s history and present. I really enjoyed exploring Tangier with him. He has a great passion for his job. You will feel that he is also enjoying the tour from his side. I will definitely book with him again when I am back in Morocco. Thank you, Thami, for the nice memories.On the spot decision and never regret it

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

He obviously knew a lot about the area. He was born and grew up in the medina. He talks the whole time - often when walking and so his voice is projecting forward when everyone is behind him. He often repeated the same information. The restaurant he suggested for us at the end was good - but be prepared to pay $20 USD for a variety of fairly small portions and they asked for a tip.Very knoweldgable and talks the whole time

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

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.

We booked the tour with Bilal and he made all the arrangements, but to our pleasant surprise, Soukayna was the guide who met us. She showed us the Medina, the Casbah and the souk and it was a very interesting and informative tour and we saw everything we had requested. Soukayna was a very good story teller and we spent some unforgettable hours with her. Her knowledge as a local was very good, she seemed to know many locals and also seemed to be well respected locally. To us she appeared to be the perfect guide and we do not hesitate to recommend her.Tour in the old town of Tangier

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

When I booked my tour with Youssef I read his background and decided he sounded perfect for me. He and I had a nice text conversation (at least I think it was Youssef) about the places he will take me. The next day a different guide, Mohammed, showed up to pick me up and do the tour. Mohammed didn't acknowledge the change until I asked--where is Youssef? The whole reason I booked this trip was because of what I read about Youssef. Mohammed was an okay guide. Very nice, but without depth to his knowledge. He primarily recited memorized facts, which may or may not have been true: this was the first women's prison. This was the first school. This may have been a roman graveyard. Nothing more than those facts. And leading us from thing to thing. Of all the things he said we'd do at the beginning, about a quarter of them were never mentioned again. And there was no mention of the conversation I'd had with Youssef. Youssef swapped for another guide

Thami was a fantastic guide. I booked his tour only about two hours before it began because I planned my visit last minute, and it could not have turned out better. He has a true passion for Morocco and Tangier and is very knowledgeable and friendly. We walked through all of the major "must see points" in the old part of town, and all along the way he shared pieces of the city's fascinating history. I am so glad that I booked this tour and now I feel like I have a friend in Tangier that I could call upon the next time I am back or even if I want to be connected with any other guide in Morocco. Thanks Thami!Great way to spend a day in Tangier.

Mention spéciale pour le thé à la menthe aux Fils du détroit qui nous a permis d'écouter un petit concert improvisé de oud. A recommander sans hésiter !Une très belle balade au cœur de Tanger

Thami hat uns vorher empfohlen, nicht nur eine Altstadttour zu Fuß durch Tanger zu machen, sondern zusätzlich Cap Spartel und Asilah mitzubuchen. Der Aufpreis für den Privatbus (wir waren 8 Personen) war sein Geld in jedem Fall wert. Omar war ein umsichtiger Busfahrer und der Mercedes-Bus ein 15-Sitzer neuerer Bauart, vollklimatisiert und sehr bequem. Thami hat uns zunächst Asilah gezeigt und mit seinem Wissen über Kultur und Geschichte, Land und Leute und Religion beeindruckt. Er betreibt auch eine Sprachschule, sein Deutsch war hervorragend. Asilah und damit unsere Ausflugserweiterung ist absolut empfehlenswert. Auf der Rückfahrt waren wir in Cap Spartel, absolut sehenswerter Park und Leuchtturm mit Meerblick. Dann noch gut 90 min durch die Kasbah und die Medhina, wo er uns immer wieder kleine Ecken und Plätze gezeigt und erklärt hat, die andere Touren wahrscheinlich nicht zu sehen bekommen. Es war ein sehr schöner Tag. Großartiger Tag mit persönlicher Betreuung

We only had a few hours one day and Youssef was a wonderful guide. Had we been on our own, we would never have been exposed to so much and with so much meaning.

As a family of 4 we took a day trip to Tangier from Tarifa and we do not regret the day at all as it was a highlight on our trip to Spain. It was a packed day full of seeing as much of Tangier in 5-6 hours as possible. We booked with Yousseff but ended up with Hassam. He was clearly knowledgeable about this city, was well known and everyone said hello to him on the tour which did make us feel like he was local. He provided tons of history and background as we toured the city and took in the sights and sounds of Tangier Morocco. The driver for the van was fantastic and very professional. We wish we would have booked an overnight so that we could have spent the full day following as well to be able to experience even more since it was so close to Spain. We drove around the city to see the sights in the van and that was great, although our guide spoke so quickly that sometimes it was hard to catch it all along with his accent. We saw Hercules caves and had a short-very short Camel ride. If you have the opportunity get a longer camel ride as it would be so worth it. In the Medina, he took us to places to appreciate the local artisans such as rug making, woven scarves and clothes, and silver. We also went to a spice vendor where we ended up buying some Argan oil and spices. All the vendors showed us how their crafts were made but at times it did feel a bit like a sales pitch and took up some of our time which was dissappointing. The walk through the Medina was incredible; the sights, the sounds and I would not have wanted to do it without a guide as it was a total maze of small alleyways. It was very rushed though and we wished we would have time to just linger at times during this tour which is why I recommend an overnight if possible. Hassam provided lots of history and local information on our tour which was appreciated. Tangier was not what we expected at all and the Medina was what we expected. It is a large city with so much to see. Overall the cost of the tour was good value for money, but recognize that once there you will incur other expenses that will add up along with the cost of the Ferry which for 4 persons return was more expensive than I was expecting. Also, know that at times your guide leaves you alone like in the restaurant or with the vendors and that was a piece we did not really like. Overall it was an excellent day that provided a great overview of what Tangier had to offer. We know that we want to go back to Morocco for sure after this tour! The lunch was a highlight of the tour, it was so delicious and the view spectacular. We could have spent the whole afternoon drinking mint tea on the balcony of that restaurant. Excellent service and food. Youssef himself is very good at communicating via the app.Day trip from Tariffa to Tangeir

If you're planning to visit Tangier (or rest of Morocco) Youssef and his crew will provide you with the most tailored, efficient and anxiety free experience. It won't be the cheapest option but we got more than we paid for. Already thinking about Marrakesh / Atlas in couple of years. Thx Hassan & Youssef! One of the most efficient day trips!

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

We had a very enjoyable time with “Chop-Chop” the nickname for the guide who was replaced Youssef, who we originally booked with. “Chop Chop” knew every nook and cranny of Tangier and showed us to the non-tourist and tourist places to see and take photos. He was very affable and showed us around the city and stopped periodically to show us on the map exactly where we were and what we had covered. He took us to places to appreciate the local artisans such as rug making, woven scarves and clothes, authentic silver. We also went to a spice vendor. All the vendors showed us how their crafts were made. Our tour was enjoyable; he met us at our riad and showed us to a local breakfast place where we could enjoy a local Moroccan breakfast. Chop-chop’s tour was fun and he was very knowledgeable about the city. This tour was what it was advertised as and it fit the description. We would have liked more information about the background stories of the places we visited, but we were able to access that information on our own. Welcome to Tangier

I had already done a tour of Tangiers with FRS and it was so disappointing, we learnt more in five minutes with Youssef about the real Tangiers than we did with the whole tour with FRS. Youssef very friendly and knowledgeable, you get to go where history actually happened. We was taken places off the beaten track and we wasn’t pressured into doing anything we didn’t want to. The tour was everything we hoped for and more. We all had an amazing experience and we highly recommend him. We have already recommended him to friends who are planning to go to Tangiers. We will use him again on our return trip. Well worth booking with Youssef.
