Caves of Hercules
Located in Achakar, in the West of Tangier, the Caves of Hercules are among the most famous historic monuments of Tangier. Both local visitors and foreigners frequent this legendary place that has just been renovated. It was in the year 5000 B.C. that these caverns, dug by the waves of the Ocean, were discovered. The Caves of Hercules have a natural entrance to the Atlantic Ocean, which has strangely adopted the form of the African continent.

Musee de la Kasbah
Kasbah museum where the architecture is as much of a draw as the exhibits. Housed in Dar el-Makhzen, a former sultan's palace on the edge of the medina, the institution features a traditional courtyard garden and contains exhibits on the history of Tangier, from prehistory to the great Islamic dynasties that forged Morocco

Medina of Tangier
Tangier's medina (old city) tumbles down the cliff towards the ocean in a labyrinth of narrow alleyways. The central vortex of medina life is the square known as the Petit Socco, where old men sit for hours drinking tea and playing backgammon. During its fast-paced past, the medina was a playground for author Paul Bowles and America's legendary beatnik literary figures such as Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg, and William Burroughs. Wandering around this area is a must for Tangier visitors. Just west of the Petit Socco on Rue Siaghine is The Church of the Immaculate Conception, built by the Spanish in 1880. East of the square is the Grand Mosque

Very Good Tour shame about other guests in our party
Tour guide was excellent and did his best to accommodate a group of elderly Asiatic people who were from a different viator tour but added to our tour at the last minute, this party had booked a private tour This party had members who from the start of tour became disruptive and indeed argumentative with the guide even one person punched the guide and said he was the worst ever. From the start they made it clear that we were not really wanted on "Their Tour" although we were on the correct tour and they had joined ours. The Tour guide was excellent and tried his best to keep the party together due to varying degrees of mobility in the "Private Party", he showed us different parts of the outer City areas before guiding us through inner city areas and explaining in detail history of buildings. Overall the tour was good and informative, being spoiled by fellow tourists. Would we recommend the tour ....Yes It Was 4 Hour tour in a lifetime of memories but one that will linger in our minds.

Was a super neat tour. We...
Was a super neat tour. We got to see and learn a lot. It is quite a bit of walking downhill, so keep that in mind. I was a little disappointed that we didn’t get an opportunity to spend more time in the markets, instead just stopping at a few affiliated shops. Or guide changed a few times when we changed location but our original guide Neil? (Pronounced like ‘Nail’) was beyond knowledgeable and did such an amazing job explaining everything and answering all of our questions.

Great tour of Tangier...
Great tour of Tangier with Omar, a very knowledgeable and friendly guide. We also had a driver who navigated the narrow streets with ease! We went to the Caves of Hercules, the Kasbah and the Medina which is the old section of Tangier. Although very hilly, the walk was well worth it! Would definitely recommend this tour!

Tangier: 4-Hour Shore Excursion for Cruise Passengers: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Tangier.
How much does Tangier: 4-Hour Shore Excursion for Cruise Passengers cost?
+
Prices start at $99 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 Tangier: 4-Hour Shore Excursion for Cruise Passengers take?
+
Plan for about 3 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 Tangier: 4-Hour Shore Excursion for Cruise Passengers worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 61 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 48 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 Tangier: 4-Hour Shore Excursion for Cruise Passengers?
+
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 Tangier: 4-Hour Shore Excursion for Cruise Passengers suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Tangier: 4-Hour Shore Excursion for Cruise Passengers?
+
Around 17 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 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Tangier: 4-Hour Shore Excursion for Cruise Passengers 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: Chefchaouen Day Trip with Local Guide, luxury 4 Hour Private Tour of Tangier, Authentic Full Day Private Tour of Tangier. 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.
