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!

This was an amazing tour! Youssef met us at the ferry from Tarifa, and made sure we were safely back on the ferry at the end of the day. (Don’t even consider trying to find your way around Tangier without a good guide). His depth of experience and knowledge is profound. Walking through the Medina and Kasbah, it was as if he knew half the world! Literally dozens of people greeted him with affection and respect. And during the course of the day many people said to us, “Oh, he is the best guide! Top notch!” At the Cave of Hercules, he knew which guide would show us all the details that would be so easy to miss. Youssef knows all the best places to have coffee and to eat. He also knows all the best places to shop, with genuine Moroccan crafts and rugs at reasonable prices. This was truly a fabulous experience. Highly recommended!Fantastic day tour! Highly recommended!

Youseff was great. A true encyclopedia about Tangier and Morocco. We would have him guide us anywhere in his country! Super knowledgeable guide!

Joussef guided our party of 4 with his experienced driver throughout the city of Tangiers. All key sites visited with a great deal of historical and contemporary knowledge of Tangiers and area.
We would not hesitate to recommend joussef as a private guide.Most knowledgeable & great personality

Youssef was an excellent tour guide. His knowledge of history was remarkable, and he inserted it into every area we visited. Tangier is beautiful, and Youssef's love for his city shone throughout our tour. From Perdicaris to Spartel to the Medina to our hysterical camel ride, we could not have had a better or more interesting tour than with Youssef!From camels to Pedicaris

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 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. Youseff was extremely knowledgeable and answered all of our questions. I highly recommend that you visit Tangier with Youssef as your guide. Monica Wondeful Time!

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.

Youssef nous a fait visiter la kasbah et la medina de Tanger. Il nous a montré les monuments importants et nous a fait passer par des petites ruelles pleines de charmes.
Je recommande vivement Youssef!Excellent guide

AMAZING!! I booked Yousef Sedraoui last minute for a 3 hour private tour of Tangier. He exceeded all my expectations. He customized it for my interests and made the city come alive with his history and stories. He was so nice and went over and beyond for me in multiple ways but specifically he coordinated a taxis to take me to the beach 30 min away AND bring me back. To top it off, he called when I was picked up to make sure everything went well. WOW!! I can not begin to thank him for his amazing introduction to Tangier and his kindness in helping me navigate my first day in the city. Book him immediately if you are coming. You will be so glad you did! THANK YOU Yousef! The Best Tour Guide in Tangier!

I would highly recommend Youssef as a guide. Myself my husband and my son had an unforgettable day. His knowledge as a local was second to none and nothing was too much trouble. We saw everything we wanted and he catered for our every need. He was obviously well respected locally and seemed to know so many locals. we felt totally safe the whole day.
Fantastic Experience !

We had Hassan, not Youssef as a guide. Hassan is a nice kind man, he told us some historical facts, has shown Medina, fish and other markets in Medina, we went to a bench from the movie “Only Lovers Left Alive” and some other places. We were not in a rush and took our time. After the excursion we asked Hassan to recommend us some local nice restaurant with local music, which he also has done. In general we had nice experience in TangierNice acceptable variant for Tangier

We spent a couple of hours with Youssef, who showed as around the most interesting places. He is a great story teller regarding the history of Tanger regardless of the language (English, French, German). Youssef seems to know everybody in the Medina and the new town which facilitates access to many interesting places (including various shops - though there is no pressure to purchase anything).Probably the best tour guide

Let me start by saying that the guide was very kind and knowledgeable about
Tangier. That said, this wasn't really what I signed up for. Instead of it being multiple tastings in local spots, I ate at two places: I was given an olive to try at a market and then I had a multi-course lunch at a restaurant.
The restaurant, Vandalucia, was a bit hit and miss but I did get a lot of food. The owner was very kind, and wanted to make sure l had a nice experience. I did notice though that the only other people in the restaurant were other tourists being brought there by their guide. I did not see any locals eating there. The guide was also not with me for most of my time at the restaurant, as he went home for lunch. This didn’t really bother me, I just would have liked a little explanation of some of the foods I was eating.
I should also mention that I was brought to two stores on this tour. A natural pharmacy and a rug shop. The pharmacy shopkeeper was a bit eager to have me buy something but was still respectful and kind. The rug shopkeeper was very kind and had me know right away that there was zero obligation to buy anything. I just thought I should mention the shop visits because it was not in the tour description.
Overall, this was not a bad tour. Like I said, I saw all of the main sites of Old Tangier and my guide was happy to take pictures of me and explain the history. It just wasn’t a very good food tour, as it felt like I was just shuttled to a touristy restaurant to get a meal in me and then move on to the rest of the tour. For that reason, I don’t recommend against taking this tour, but I do recommend reaching out to your guide beforehand to confirm that you will have multiple stops for food. More of a tour with food than a food tour

Youssef was very friendly and knowledgeable. The tour did become extended which was welcome which we negotiated separately for but did become a little expensive. Could do without carpet sales next time though. Recommended. Good tour guide
