Not as advertised
We didn't have a good experience with this excursion. We booked a private tour for 8:30am. The day before it was changed to a group tour at 9am. Was picked up at 9:30am. No free time to explore or shop on our own. Were taked to specific shops, rug and spice shops. Then taken to a restaurant not of our choosing. Given a set meal with a set price of $35 a person. Didn't come with admissions to Hercules cave, had to pay ourselves. Be forewarned.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that the experience didn’t meet your expectations We’d like to clarify that your booking was made at the last minute, on a cruise ship day when Tangier was very busy. We explained in advance that only a small group tour was available at that time, and you kindly confirmed that it was fine Regarding the restaurant — we always allow guests to choose where they’d like to eat, and on that day we took you to the place you selected. The Hercules Cave entrance fee is not included in the tour price, as mentioned in the description We always do our best to make each experience enjoyable, even during very busy cruise days, and we appreciate your understanding

Not what was expected from North Tours as advertised on TripAdvisor
Anwar from North Tours messaged us the day before and asked us to wait at the Mosque outside of the Tangier Port for pick up at 10am. We thought he was our English speaking tour guide but he wasn’t. We were there 10 mins earlier than 10 am, but our driver, Mohammed, didn’t arrive until 10.15 am and he could speak very little English. So much for having an English speaking guide! He was nice enough and kept apologising for not knowing much English, but it was frustrating trying to find out information about Tangier when he could really only point to and name various sights. When we got to Cap Spartel we had know information about what we were looking at and no admission into the lighthouse. The camel ride along the beach was a good experience and the cost was included in the tour as stated. Cave of Hercules, advertised as admittance included, also was deceiving, as it was only for entry into the smaller cave not the larger historical one with the map of Africa in it. We had to pay extra to enter and if you wanted a guide to tell you about what you were seeing, it was more cost again. We had Norddine take over the tour for the visit to the Old town of Medina and the Kasbah. Thank goodness he spoke good English so we actually got something out of the experience! When we finished the tour it was advertised we would be returned to where we were picked up from, but once again we were misled by Anwar and North Tours, and ended up having to walk back to our ship. Unless they improve by ensuring they have English speaking guides for English speaking people, include admissions they state and pick up and drop off as they say on their advertisement, I wouldn’t recommend them to others.
Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are sorry for any confusion about your pick-up and guide arrangement. Our driver Mohammed was waiting in the parking area near the Mosque, as cars are not allowed to stop directly at the meeting point. He arrived on time and picked you up as soon as possible from the nearest legal parking spot. Before the tour, we explained that the driver would handle the transportation part, and that the English-speaking guide would meet you later in the city for the walking portion — as is standard for many private tours in Tangier. This was the same plan followed successfully with our other guests that day. We are happy to know that you enjoyed the camel ride and that our guide Norddine provided you with a good experience in the Medina and Kasbah. We truly appreciate your feedback and will continue working to improve our communication to make sure every guest understands the plan clearly before the tour begins.

Full day tour of Tangier, Morocco
We originally had booked a private half day tour of Tangier, however our tour guide from the company Viator chose emailed us to ask if we minded if we were in a small group tour. WE said of course not, and later found out everyone in our tour had gotten the same email. Our half day tour turned into a full day tour of tangier and it was amazing. I would not recommend this for anyone who is uncomfortable walking on cobblestone streets, or who uses a scooter or wheelchair. The sites our guide showed us were beautiful, we had a lovely lunch in the Medina and got to shop in the casbah. Tangier is a beautiful city in Morocco and has both Atlantic and Mediterranean coasts and the beaches were lovely. Our guide picked us up at the port where our ship had docked and dropped us off there too. We saw many large tour groups from our ship, and were incredibly glad we booked this tour as we got to see a lot more of Tangier with a small group tour.
Response from the operator: Thank you very much 🙏🏻 I hope to see you again

Great tour but had a few kinks
The pick up was easy, they were waiting right outside our ship. We drove, and then later walked through areas we would not have seen on our own. Those that wanted to were able to ride camels on the beach. We did not go to the correct cave (?) As we walked through town Jamal provided us with lots of information and history, appreciated at different levels by our large group of 15- I enjoyed it. Some of the stores we went into felt like a sales pitch but that has happened on tours in other cities too. When special circumstances came up I felt he didn’t respond quickly enough.
Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing your experience with us! We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed your pick-up, the walking tour through Tangier, and the camel ride on the beach. We appreciate your feedback regarding response times during special circumstances and visits to local shops. Your comments help us improve our service and ensure a smooth experience for all guests. We are glad you enjoyed the history and insights shared by Jamal and hope to welcome you and your group again for another memorable experience in Tangier

4-hour Private Tour of Tangier: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Tangier.
How much does 4-hour Private Tour of Tangier cost?
+
Prices start at $75 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Tangier usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does 4-hour Private Tour of Tangier take?
+
Plan for about 4 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Tangier is not rushed.
Is 4-hour Private Tour of Tangier worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 51 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.4/5 across 29 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Tangier, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 4-hour Private Tour of Tangier?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is 4-hour Private Tour of Tangier suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 4-hour Private Tour of Tangier?
+
Around 10 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Tangier can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Tangier and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 4-hour Private Tour of Tangier start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Tangier within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Tangier?
+
On Outty we rank every Tangier experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include From Tangier Private Full Day-Trip to Chefchaouen, 7 days Tour from Tangier to Marrakech Morocco Tours, 3h Private Walking Tour in Tangier Kasbah Medina & Colorful Souks. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Tangier?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Tangier?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
