What you'll see and do
Tangier Casbah
This recently refurbished museum is housed in the former sultan's palace of Dar El Makhzen. The focus is on the history of the area from prehistoric times to the 19th century.
45 minutes here · Admission not included
Medina of Tangier
The medina, the top attraction of Tangier, is a labyrinth of alleyways both commercial and residential. It's contained by the walls of a 15th-century Portuguese fortress, although most buildings are actually relatively young for a Moroccan medina.
45 minutes here
Petit Socco
Officially named Place Souq Ad Dakhil, this was once the most notorious crossroads of Tangier, the site of drug deals and all forms of prostitution. Today the facades are freshly painted, tourists abound and it’s a wonderful square for people-watching over a mint tea.
45 minutes here
Socco Alto
The Grand Socco (official name Place du 9 Avril 1947) is the romantic entrance to the medina, a large, sloping, palm-ringed plaza with a central fountain that stands before the keyhole gate Bab Fass. Once a major market, its cobblestone circle is now the end of the line for taxis, the point at which the modern streets narrow into the past.
45 minutes here
Tangier American Legation Museum
This museum, in an elegant five-storey mansion, is a must-see: Morocco was the first country to recognise the fledgling United States, in 1777, and this was the first piece of American real estate abroad, as well as the only US National Historic Landmark on foreign soil.
45 minutes here · Admission not included
Tomb of Ibn Battouta
This modest tomb is purported to be the last resting place of Ibn Battuta, who was born in Tangier in 1304 and became the greatest traveller of the period – outpacing Marco Polo at an easy clip. A scholar and judge, Ibn Battuta travelled across North Africa through the Middle East and then onto Russia, Central Asia and China, returning via Sri Lanka and East Africa.
45 minutes here · Admission not included
Cap Spartel
Cape Spartel is a promontory in Morocco about 1,000 feet above sea level at the entrance to the Strait of Gibraltar, 12 km West of Tangier. Below the cape are the Caves of Hercules.
45 minutes here · Admission not included
Caves of Hercules
Caverns where Hercules allegedly rested during his labors, with an opening in the shape of Africa.

OK trip. Could be better
Driver and the guide Yosef, were very good. But we walked through the souk at a fast pace without being able to shop. We were then taken back to the station with 1 1/2 hours to spare. We never got to the American Legion museum. No coffee/ tea. We should have been given more free time. I would buy my own train ticket, go do a city tour in Tangier which is a bustling big city, and take a taxi to/ from the station.

Beautiful Tangier, but not a great tour company
We loved Tangier and highly recommend a visit. The city is beautiful and the coastal views are picturesque. However, we don’t recommend this particular tour. Guide and company. The tour was not well paced, with too much time overlooking the coast, and not enough time enjoying the sights of the old city. The guide rushed us through, with no time for even a brief lunch or to visit the central markets. The tour ended about 2 hours before our return time, so instead of having time to enjoy the city, we sat with extra time at the train station. Our guide Joseph was very knowledgeable, with an over emphasis on the literature from the area, and not enough general history of the people and places. You may consider making your own train arrangements,l and using a local guide in the old city which will allow time to really enjoy the people, the food and the markets of Tangier

Well worth the day
Fabulous visit from Casablanca to Tanger by train. The Tanger driver throughout the city and to the Caves of Hercules was excellent, filled by the knowledgeable walking tour guide through the old city. Wonderful and seamless from the start at our hotel to the end, back at our hotel.
Response from the operator: Thank you very much for your wonderful feedback. We are delighted to hear that you had a fabulous experience traveling from Casablanca to Tangier by train, and that everything was seamless from hotel pick-up to drop-off. It is especially rewarding to know that your driver throughout the city and to the Caves of Hercules provided excellent service, and that the walking tour through the old city was both informative and enjoyable. Your kind words truly mean a lot to us. We hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you again for another memorable experience in Morocco.

Good day at Tangier, pity about missing out all the other attractions
The supposed itinerary for this tour mentioned several sites in Tangier. Alas, unknown to us, we could only visit a few of the sites. We assumed that the guide will take us to all the locations mentioned in the itinerary.We did not visit Museum of Casbah, Petit Socco, Socco Alto, the Tangier American Legation Museum, or the Tomb of Ibn Battouta, which was disappointing in hindsight. We did see a small and insignificant looking mosque with a simple tomb in the background. Whether this was the Tomb of Battouta we would not know as that name did not crop up in our tour. We were picked up by a Driver at Tangier train station who seemed somewhat off-handed in his attitude. He took us to Cap Spartel but didn't explain anything. It was a good day and perfect weather. We were able to see Spain, and seeing the Atlantic Ocean and Mediterranean Sea was impressive. He then took us to Hercules Caves but gave us 20 minutes but no explanation about the caves. He told us we had to pay US$8 each although the itinerary stated that admission to Hercules Cave is free. He then took us to the Gate to Medina where we met our guide. We did not visited the Casbah but walked through the Medina with our tour guide. He was knowledgeable to a degree and we learned a bit about Tangier's history. We walked around the narrow lanes and alleys of Medina, and then climbed up to the top of the Fort for a view of the port. We had told our guide that we did not want to go shopping, however we were taken to a spice/cosmetics and perfume store where a man claiming to have been a Pharmacist went on and on and on about the benefits of all the products he had for sale. Suffice to say we wasted much too much time at this store and of course he tried his hardest to sell us very expensive Nigella Seed extract, and said that we will live for ever!!!, we didn't take the bait. We were then taken to a Rugs and Carpet place where we wasted a substantial period of time being shown numerous carpets, rugs and runners and of course we bought nothing as we had told the guide. All in all, Tangier could be an interesting place to visit if you have a serious guide, who is not interested in shopping trips. Of course at Viator you cannot choose your guide but may be other websites or direct contact in Tangiers may be an option. We came back to Tangiers train station and back to Casablanca at about 8 pm. Just make sure you can visit everything you want to see.

Great tour.
Well organized. Pick us up at the hotel on time escorted us to the train station. Yusef our guide was well informed. He brought the history alive. My only concern is the restaurant said the credit card machine was down. When we paid in cash. The exchange was much lower than Amount posted on the web.
Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing your experience! We're happy to hear you enjoyed the tour and that Yusef enhanced your experience. We appreciate your feedback about the exchange rate and will take it into consideration. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you again soon!

Casablanca to Tangier Day Trip by High-Speed Train: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Casablanca.
How much does Casablanca to Tangier Day Trip by High-Speed Train cost?
+
Prices start at $136 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Casablanca usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Casablanca to Tangier Day Trip by High-Speed Train take?
+
Plan for about 10 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 Casablanca is not rushed.
Is Casablanca to Tangier Day Trip by High-Speed Train worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 44 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.7/5 across 66 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable culture & history in Casablanca, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Casablanca to Tangier Day Trip by High-Speed Train?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is Casablanca to Tangier Day Trip by High-Speed Train suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 10-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Casablanca to Tangier Day Trip by High-Speed Train?
+
Around 23 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 Casablanca 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 Casablanca and add a light layer if any part of the 10-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Casablanca to Tangier Day Trip by High-Speed Train 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 Casablanca 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 Casablanca?
+
On Outty we rank every Casablanca experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Casablanca Hassan II Mosque and City Highlights Tour, Casablanca Half-day Guided Tour with Hassan II mosque ticket, Private Guided Tour of Casablanca Including Mosque Entrance. 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 Casablanca?
+
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 Casablanca?
+
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.
