⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 10/10 – An Unforgettable, Truly Personal Experience in Tangier!
If you’re looking for an authentic Moroccan experience that goes beyond the typical tourist tour, book with Hamza! Our guide was basically the mayor of Tangier! He knew everyone, everywhere we went, and made us feel so incredibly welcomed. It truly felt like we were exploring the city with a local friend rather than following a tour guide. The first half of our experience was a fantastic driving tour, taking in the sights and learning about the area. The second half was my favorite, winding through the streets of Tangier, stopping at local shops, bustling food and fish markets, and exploring everything from ceramics and rugs to jewelry. It was such an authentic glimpse into everyday life in Morocco. And just when we thought the experience couldn’t get any better, Hamza literally pulled a table and chairs out of nowhere, set them up right in the street, and treated us to delicious Moroccan sweets and one last glass of traditional mint tea before we headed back to our cruise ship. It was such a simple, thoughtful gesture, but one of those moments we’ll remember forever. The entire experience was warm, welcoming, personal, and completely different from your typical organized excursion. 10/10, without hesitation! If you’re visiting Tangier, especially on a cruise stop, I cannot recommend a personal tour with Hamza enough. This was easily one of the highlights of our trip!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful review and for choosing to explore Tangier with us! It was truly a pleasure sharing the beauty, culture, and everyday life of our city with you. We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed discovering the local markets, traditional crafts, and hidden gems of Tangier. And of course, no Moroccan experience would be complete without delicious sweets and a glass of traditional mint tea! 😊 Your kind words mean a great deal to Hamza and our team. We’re so happy that we could make your visit feel personal, authentic, and memorable. Creating special moments and welcoming our guests like old friends is what we love most about what we do. Thank you again for your recommendation. We hope to welcome you back to Morocco someday for more adventures, unforgettable moments, and, of course, another cup of mint tea! Warm regards, Hamza & Team

Amazing Day in Morocco.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing Tour Guide in Morocco! We had the most wonderful experience with our tour guide in Morocco! He was absolutely amazing from beginning to end. He made sure we got to see everything we wanted to see and took us to a wonderful place for lunch that we really enjoyed. One of my favorite memories was when he stopped so we could take a picture with a camel—and somehow I ended up riding it! 🐪😂 What a fun and unforgettable experience! He was friendly, knowledgeable, accommodating, and made our entire day so enjoyable. We laughed, explored, took lots of pictures, and made memories we’ll never forget. If you’re visiting Morocco, I highly recommend him. Definitely a 5-star experience! 🇲🇦❤️

Great Day in Tangier!!!
This was our first time to Africa, and more specifically, Tangier Morocco. We were really looking forward to an amazing way to see what Tangier had to offer. We did some research and we were glad to have found Selected Tours Tangier. We felt that it was important for us to get a private tour for the four of us on our cruise. Shortly after we booked our excursion, we were contacted by Hamza through What’s App. He wanted to make sure of where the pickup would be and what the hours at shore on our cruise. He assured us that they would make sure we did not miss our ship. A couple of weeks later, we were contacted by Mohmead. He wanted to make sure that his company fully understood what our requirements were for this excursion. He gave us some tips and suggestions and was very good about not pushing the agenda. He told us it was our private tour and they wanted to make sure we get to enjoy what we were looking for. He also wanted to make sure we understood that some of the sites we may want to explore may have additional admission fees. We totally understood this and expected this for the price of the tour. We were very happy with the price of the tour especially the amount of time dedicated to us. When our day at shore arrived, we received messages and calls from Hamza making sure we knew where to meet them. It was a short walk to the Mosque where they had a private van pick us up to start our tour. Hamza’s English was very good and he made sure we were going to be taking care of. We had the good fortune to explore some of the best things to see in Tangier. This included viewing some of their parks, historic monuments, a couple of Medina markets, the American Legation Museum and most important for us was arriving at the beach to ride camels. We had more than enough time on the camels going up and down the beach. The camel handlers did such a great job making sure we were safe and got enough pictures of our time on the camels. They took some amazing pictures using our camera and made sure we got all the shots we needed. One of the other requirements we had was to eat lunch at a restaurant where locals eat. Hamza found the right place. He and his family eat there and we were so lucky to be able to have our lunch there. Amazing food and great service. Everywhere we went, Hamza was known by everyone. He was the rock star of Tangier. Even the undercover tourist police went out of their way to come over and great him. By the way, it was nice to see that the city of Tangier really wants to make sure the tourists have a great trouble free stay in this amazing city. After a long day, we were dropped off at the cruise ship with plenty of time before the deadline. Thanks again Hamza for an amazing trip through your beautiful city. I am sorry that we forgot the name of the driver for the van. He did an amazing job . We will make sure we connect with you again when we come back. Rich and Robin from Our MidLife Adventures
Response from the operator: Here’s a warm, professional response you can post to the review: Response to Rich and Robin’s Review Dear Rich and Robin, Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a wonderful and detailed review of your experience with us! It was truly a pleasure having you both in Tangier. From the beginning, we wanted to make sure your private tour was built around the things that mattered most to you, and we are so happy to hear that you enjoyed the experience. It means a lot to us to know that the camel ride, the Medina, the American Legation Museum, the local restaurant, and the other stops along the way made your day special. Hamza was delighted to spend the day with you, and we will certainly share your kind words with him and our driver. We are especially happy that you felt comfortable, well taken care of, and had plenty of time to enjoy each experience without feeling rushed. We also love hearing that you enjoyed having lunch somewhere frequented by locals. Sharing our city, our food, and our way of life with visitors is one of the things we enjoy most about what we do.

Packed a lot in in a short time!
Rida was a wonderful engaging guide. Very knowledgeable listing facts and figures while also adding personal anecdotes and insider tips. He showed our group some of the classic and iconic sights as well as some less traveled spots gaining access to some sites and locations we wouldn’t have unless he was our guide. We had a two mad team guiding us. They worked well together and made sure everyone was well taken care of and all questions were answered. Fun and interesting for all.

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private VIP Tangier Tour Exclusively from Ferry or Cruise Ship: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Tangier.
How much does Private VIP Tangier Tour Exclusively from Ferry or Cruise Ship cost?
+
Prices start at $137 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 VIP Tangier Tour Exclusively from Ferry or Cruise Ship take?
+
Plan for about 7 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 VIP Tangier Tour Exclusively from Ferry or Cruise Ship worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 80 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 44 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 VIP Tangier Tour Exclusively from Ferry or 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 VIP Tangier Tour Exclusively from Ferry or Cruise Ship suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private VIP Tangier Tour Exclusively from Ferry or Cruise Ship?
+
Around 15 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 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private VIP Tangier Tour Exclusively from Ferry or 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.
