We had a wonderful first experience in Morocco as part of a day trip from Tarifa. Our guide, Taha, was kind and attentive, leading us around Tangier. We began at Perdicaris Park, viewed the point where the Strait of Gibraltar joins the Atlantic Ocean at Cap Spartel, rode camels on a north African beach, and then viewed the ocean from inside the Cave of Hercules. Taha returned us to the center of the medina so that we could explore on our own before returning to Tarifa by ferry. We highly recommend this as a way to experience Morocco in a short period of time!

Riding the camels was the highlight of our trip. In addition, our tour guide took us through some beautiful places on our way to the Hercules Cave. It was just enough time...not too long, not too short. Just an FYI, you have to descend down quite a few uneven steps to get to the camel ride but well worth it.

We had a great time! Our guide was fun, kind, and had a lot of knowledge about the region which he shared with us during the car ride. Camel ride was also a fun experience, all in all we loved it.
Debbie_O, Mar 2026
Great tour; just long enough to see some fabulous sites and have an amazing camel ride along the ocean. Mohammed 67 was our guide; he was friendly, knowledgeable, and a great driver! Highly recommend this tour!
Justine_C, Mar 2026
Well organised. Our driver was knowledgeable and attentive. He genuinely went out our pace and we didn't feel rushed.

Our private tour was amazing! The tour guide was friendly and very knowledgeable! The private camel ride was lots of fun

Mr. Khaled was punctual, polite, friendly and very good communicator. His English was very good so we could learn a lot from him. This was a wonderful day and do not hesitate to book this tour. All I feel customers should know is that Admission is not included at The Cap Spartel. You need to buy tickets for the lighthouse.
Lindsay_C, Mar 2026
Excellent knowledge and amazing experience for the kids! The guide was so great especially with the kids.
Christina_J, Mar 2026

Amazing time with this tour company! They were on time, experienced, friendly and professional. Camels were well taken care of and sweet.
Nicola_J, Mar 2026
Was a fun couple of hours, Khalid told us some history of Tangier as we were driving, the camels were great, a good half hour on board, and the caves and Cap Spartel were lovely to see. We had a great time 😃
Sarah_C, Feb 2026
Really enjoyable short tour to the “must see” sights outside Tangier. Visited the lighthouse and Hercules Cave. Mohammed 67 was knowledgeable and interesting about the points of interest on the tour - thank you!
Brian_M, Feb 2026
This was an excellent tour, and great value. Khaled was a superb guide and provides some great commentary throughout the tour. Great communication from him to find him outside the cruise port. Each site we stopped at was interesting and the highlight was the camel rides. Would definitely recommend.
Evan_L, Feb 2026
Excellent tour with our driver Khaled. Our pickup was on time and at the location provided. Appreciate his hospitality and careful driving, and the information provided.
diego_l, Jan 2026
Best value for money, no words to describe how fullfiling it was. 100% recommend if you want a overview of tangier
Ahmad_T, Jan 2026
Despite it was a rainy day, the car driver Abdelkader was very concious of that fact and made the trip memorable. He has good knowledge about Morocco especially Tangier. It was a great time
Swarup_K, Nov 2025
I think the experience was nice and smooth. Our driver Abdoul was on time to pick up us and showed us around quite a bit. Cave Hercules was a bit of a disappointment but thats not their fault.
Camel ride was great too!
Robert_S, Nov 2025
Great excursion! Camel rides were great. Tour driver did great job explaining the city of Tangiers. Would definitely do it again

Thank you for your feedback! We’re happy you enjoyed the exprience!

Our family had a great time together on this excursion. Good chance to see the sights of Tangier. We particularly enjoyed the camel ride on the beach, but all the sights are beautiful! Our only improvement would be a little more information about the stops. We just pretty much got dropped off and free to go look around and then get back in the van. We are very thankful for them waiting for us as our ferry into Tangier was late. Overall, a great experience.
Response from Host, Nov 2025
Thank you for sharing your experience! We're so glad your family enjoyed the tour and camel ride. We appreciate your feedback about adding more information at each stop — it helps us improve. Hope to see you again in Tangier!
Andrea_S, Nov 2025
Nice and good experience overseeing Tangier , camel ride was short but great. We saw were the Atlantic and Mediterranean Sea meet. Our guide and driver Jalal was great.
This company make sure their costumers are well taken care of.
Response from Host, Nov 2025
Thank you for your kind review! We’re happy you enjoyed the experience and that Jalal took great care of you. Hope to welcome you again!

We booked and paid easily over the phone. We went with the private tour option so the tickets were 60EUR per person rather than 30. I went with my wife, four small children, and my two parents. In light of the age range and needs of my family, private was definitely the way to go! We had a phenomenal time with our tour guide Ashraf who spoke at least five languages. He was knowledgeable and extremely engaging. The sunset camel ride was insane. It was on a wide open beach with very few tourists. And it was a long ride - we were probably on the camels for 20-30 minutes, which we did not expect. We skipped the Medina tour (opting to explore it on our own the following morning). Ashraf pointed us to his recommended restaurant. Good food but overpriced - I reckon the tour guides get to eat for free if they steer their clients there. A few buildings over the same food was about half the price. Anyway, phenomenal experience. They arrived on time and the van was comfortable.

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re thrilled you and your family had such a great experience with Ashraf and enjoyed the sunset camel ride. Your feedback means a lot to us

Response from Host, Oct 2025

Shannon_H, Sep 2025
I would highly recommend this experience! Ahmed was a great guide. He was professional and accommodating. A small tour size which was great. A great tour experience overall.
Camel ride in the beach was well organized , interesting and fun. It was about 30 mins long which was just the right amount of time. The other stops were a good length of time with some great photo opportunities. We asked to be dropped off in the Medina on the way back to explore the markets before heading back to our ship and Ahmed was very happy to do that and give us some direction to follow at our drop off location

Our guide Taha was awesome! We learned about the history of Morocco as well as Greek mythology that made the experience of the caves of Hercules that much better. We loved our Camel ride along the beach. Highly recommend this excursion!

Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re glad you enjoyed the tour with Taha and had a great time at Hercules Caves and the camel ride.

Great way to be introduced to Tangier, we were on a day trip there. We arrived by ferry from Tarifa and were picked up/dropped off just outside the port, very simple. We are a family of four traveling with two children under 10 so the camel ride was definitely a highlight for us. Would definitely recommend if this is your first time to Tanger and you just want to see the sites and scenery.
