Bait and Switch
We signed up well in advance for a private tour. A guide and our family. After standing in the hot parking lot for over an hour, calling Viator and the local operator, we were informed that they had too many customers for private tours, so they were throwing all of us together on a bus. Only option was to go with them. All ship tours had departed. Another half an hour and they finally started the tour. At least 30 (angry) people who were expecting private tours. Fun Omar the guide was knowledgeable and efficient, but nothing about the tour was personal or relaxing. If you want a private tour, find a different operator!

Nice guides but that’s about it
Paid for entrance of Kasbah, did not go. Paid for entrance to Mosha Synagogue, we just drove by it Paid for entrance to American Legation museum, just drove by it. Tried to communicate with the tour company twice before our trip but they never responded. We got off of our cruise ship and there was no one there to greet us. Luckily a kind tour guide knew our tour company and called them to let us know we were there. Once we met them, they didn’t even know what tour we had paid for. Our driver was nice but we spent the first four of the six hours with only him so we learned very little about the historical sites we visited. Again he was very nice but admitted that his English was not very good. Lunch in the Medina was nice and slow paced. Once we got to the Medina, our guide just directed us to shops without providing us with much history. Again he too was nice but spent a lot of the tour through the Medina on his cell phone. Highlight of the tour was mint tea at Cap Spartel

Tour spoiled by terrible guide from Andalusian Tours
Our first choice in tours was cancelled days before our arrival so we rebooked with private tour. On the day before our tour, we were further notified that we had been grouped with other tours. What we had paid for was a 4 hour private tour which included lunch. We got grouped with others who had different time schedules and who had not paid for lunch. We only realized this as we seems to run short of time according to some on our tour. The tour itself was fine from the bus ride around the city, the camel ride in the beach, the tour of the Kasbah, and the lunch. The reason we were so dissatisfied with the tour was the guide from Andalusian Tours ( Mehdi). His meeting spot was away from the general meeting area, so we had trouble finding him to begin with. He then made us feel uncomfortable by telling us, multiple times, that we knew nothing of him ( and the people of Tangier and probably Sunni Muslims in general) but he knew everything about us. This was despite the fact that he never asked what any of us knew or where we have traveled before. We are used to having guides who take pride in their country and see this as a positive. In this case, his frequent sermons on the advantages of life in Morocco first stretched the believable then became the outrageous. At one point to a tour of majority women from Canada and the US, he lectured us on why Muslim women are better off because they have more rights. If you grew tired of his sermons, he would lecture you on not paying attention. These were not merely uncomfortable moments but a series of increasingly offensive diatribes. Collectively we ended the tour early with many in our tour disappointed in what we didn’t get a chance to see but no one wanted to spend more time with our guide. Mehdi of Andalusian Tours should not be a tour guide.

Tangier city tour
The trip and tour guide good but end the trip, the tour guide said that we need to pay 16 euro. When we made reservation, it didn't said we need to pay this amount, I think is not fair.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much! I'm really happy you enjoyed the tour and your time in Tangier. I truly appreciate your kind words and recommendation.

Perfect Tour During Our Cruise Stop
We booked this private tour while our cruise ship was visiting Tangier and it was an excellent decision. Mehdi was waiting for us when we arrived and immediately made us feel welcome. He guided us through several interesting areas of the city while explaining the history and culture in a very engaging way. Mehdi clearly loves his city and it shows in the way he shares it with visitors. It was a wonderful experience and a great way to spend our time in Tangier.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much! I'm really happy you enjoyed the tour and your time in Tangier. I truly appreciate your kind words and recommendation.

Private Tangier Tour from the Cruise Ship: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Tangier.
How much does Private Tangier Tour from the Cruise Ship cost?
+
Prices start at $104 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 Private Tangier Tour from the Cruise Ship take?
+
Plan for about 5 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 Private Tangier Tour from the Cruise Ship worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 56 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.8/5 across 11 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 Private Tangier Tour from the Cruise Ship?
+
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 Private Tangier Tour from the Cruise Ship suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Tangier Tour from the Cruise Ship?
+
Around 4 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 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Tangier Tour from the Cruise Ship 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.
