What are people saying about Caves of Hercules

From Tangier: Cap Spartel and Hercules Cave with Camel Ride

Eric_A, Jan 2026

Good excursion to see Tangier.

The guide’s van was clean and comfortable. The guide was very polite and stopped when we wanted to take pictures. We felt we had a very comprehensive tour of Tangier. The camel ride was fun. It was about 20 minutes long but a sufficient time to enjoy riding a camel and not being too sore afterwards. We also saw the Hercules cave, the lighthouse and the downtown area.

Excellent Experience

Great private tour with our guide, Abdoud. He was very friendly and knowledgeable. Includes entry to Caves of Hercules, camel ride, and tea at a cafe. We also stopped at Cap Spartel. Great if you have limited time in Tangier but want to see the important sites. Car was clean and had air conditioning. We were picked up at our specified location.

Great way to see points of interest in broader Tangier

Nizar was a fantastic host. Pickup was so convenient outside my hotel, and he drove us through some beautiful parts of Tangier. Bring cash for access to caves and Cap Spartel (small bills…20s, 50s, maybe 100s if a few people are paying together). We lucked out with sunny, cool weather. Rare for January, apparently. Bring a snack, or have a big meal prior.

The camel ride was the highlight of the tour ! The city was also excellent! There was a total disconnect between booking, the driver and our start time . Once we got past that the improved greatly. The beginning needs much improvement as it’s not the best way to start the tour .
