We had a wonderful day with Taha visiting Hercules Cave, Cape Spartel, and doing the camel ride. He was friendly, professional, and accommodating, with excellent communication through WhatsApp. Everything was easy and stress-free from our cruise ship. A great way to experience Tangier. Highly recommend!

It was a great experience. Our guide, Khaled, was phenomenal. Knowledgeable and really nice. We got through the tour and he was full of such great information and made sure we were as comfortable as possible in the heat. Explained to us the proper way of riding and petting a camel. The whole experience was unforgettable.

Our guide Taha was awesome. Very professional and knowledgeable! He picked us up on time and gave consistent communication. Will definitely request to work with him the next time we return!

Zouheir our guide was very nice and spoke several languages. Definitely recommend. It was a great short excursion and seeing that green part of tangier was very interesting and beautiful.

We drove through the city and had a chance to stop by a couple viewpoints on our way on our way to the activity. Our driver, Omar, was fantastic.
Laura_S, Jul 2026
This was an excellent experience! Our guide picked us up just outside our riad and drove us to all of the sites, giving us helpful commentary and answering all our questions on the way. We were given enough time to explore the sites on our own, and he dropped us off at a restaurant at the end. Highly recommended if you are looking for a convenient way to get around with some local insights.

There was just two of us with a driver which was good for us as we had to get back to our cruise liner early. Loved the camel rides. It wasn't spectacular but it was a nice afternoon out. It wasn't expensive & the driver was lovely.
Amanda_H, Jun 2026
We had such a great time on this tour. Khalid was so funny and knowledgeable. He made quick pivots when lines were long and helped us get the most out of the tour. The camel rides were so fun!!
Kimberly_W, May 2026
You get a driver only. You are on your own to explore the spots he takes you to. Entry fees to the Cap Sparta lighthouse and Hercules Cave are not included. The camel ride is about 20 minutes on the beach. We had a very nice driver but got no information on what we were seeing.
Carleen_H, May 2026
These tour guides go above and beyond- they got us a car separate from the group when we thought we would miss our cruise departure
Mary_H, May 2026
Great introduction to a beautiful city, rich in history. Camel ride was a blast. Tour guide was very knowledgeable and friendly.
Nishelle_H, May 2026
we had a wonderful time with our Guide Taha! the camels rides on the beach was an amazing experience!
Julie_N, Apr 2026
Great overview of some of the key sites without having to devote a full day. The camel ride is very touristy, but fun!
Tami_G, Apr 2026
Private tour with Imad was incredible and the best way to do this particular tour. This was we could decide how little or how long to stay at each attraction and it suited us best. Imad was very knowledgeable and super accommodating. As someone who was born and raised here- you could tell they love where they are from! Would recommend private tour for this one 100%
Molly_H, Apr 2026
Our driver was on time and shared so much about Tangier. We loved the lighthouse (go to the top! So worth it!) and the camel ride. It was the highlight of our weekend in Tangier

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!
Ronda_M, Apr 2026
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.
Maya_A, Apr 2026
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.
Andyn_M, Mar 2026
Our private tour was amazing! The tour guide was friendly and very knowledgeable! The private camel ride was lots of fun
Rakhi_D, Mar 2026
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
Our driver Abdul and the camel shepherd were amazing, highlight of our trip. We felt taken care of and learnt alot.
Angelica_M, 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.
