A Fun Day in Tangier!
Bilal and his driver picked us up at our hotel for an enjoyable morning of touring Tangier. We visited parks, Cap Spartel, and the Hercules Cave. We never felt rushed and took lots of pictures. A highlight of the morning was riding camels along the ocean. (Yes, we paid 20 euros each to ride along the water, but knew this in advance.). Our camel handler took lovely photos of us! Next we moved to Balal’s house where we were warmly greeted by his family. We spent the midafternoon preparing chicken tagine, a salad, and mint tea. It was a lot of fun and the food was delicious. We ended the day walking through the Medina and purchasing some spices. We highly recommend a private tour with Bilal.

A perfect day in Tangier
Bilal Tribak was a spectacular host for the three of us. Despite having a very rainy day, he was able to show us all of the highlights that we wanted to see. Our tour was a three part experience . Part one was seeing the highlights and learning the history of Tangier including a camel ride by the ocean. Part two, our absolute favorite part, was a cooking class in his home. This was so unique and his family was very welcoming to us. We collectively made a traditional couscous and chicken tangine dinner supervised by his wife. We finished by making the classic Moroccan mint tea. Part three was visiting craftsman in the Medina. We enjoyed the shopping experience and left our hearts and money in Tangier. Bilal is not only fluent in Arabic, French, Spanish and English, he speaks the universal language of hospitality. He’s also a wealth of knowledge on the history of Tangier and Morocco. For the best experience you could ever have, hands down Bilal is the guy!

Safe, insightful tour with lovely cooking experience
Efficient pick up at port with first class transport. Our Tour provided great historical background to Tangier. Cooking class was basic, the results were excellent and the we learnt a number of things that we will try back home. Third part of the tour was around the souk and old town which was interesting. If you want to see anything specific or spend more time doing something then just let Bilal know.
Response from the operator: Many thanks Lawrence for your feedback amd for your time spent writing the review. I would like to see you again

Take the good with the bad
The guide was late for pick up, and we went to look for him. When we finally found him he said he was there the whole time, which he was not. This did not set a good tone as we started our day together. The sightseeing was fine and he was well informed and helpful. The tour included a camel ride, but when we got there he said we had to pay 20Euro extra for the "good" ride. The best part was the cooking experience at his home and with his family. His wife and children were lovely and very welcoming in their home. The meal we made together was delicious and enjoyable. Afterward he led us on a tour through the city market, and took us specifically to places were they were waiting to sell us rugs and other things. This felt very "set up" and not what we wanted - and did not get to spend the time shopping through the market on our own as we would have preferred.
Response from the operator: Hi Al, First of all I spent more than 45 minutes waiting for you at the door of the cruise ship,I was there holding a sign having your name on it.you came out the ship and you started to walk outside the terminal.Ive texted you the day before saying that I will.be at the front of the ship amd don't go outside the terminal,which you didn't care about what I've told you and you went out the terminal and I had to Waite for you too long.and I've called you several times and your phone was off all the time.that you told me you were afraid to be charged by your Sim card company if you answer to my call.... I've emailed you several times through viator and there's proof of this...you didn't even answered.even all of this I was there waiting for you till you decided to get back to the cruise Terminal and then you founded me.(I could just leave after 10 or 15 min when you didn't showed up at the time of the reservation,but I didn't and I was there waiting ) Comserming the Camel ride it's included the small Camel ride and it's mentioned in the tour program.you didn't want to have the small tour and you preferred to have the Camel ride by the beach and longer,which you had to pay the extra fee which was 10€ each.and you agreed with it. Which you didn't paid for it neither....I had to text you the next day to ask you to pay for what I have paid for you....which is I never had this kind of experience with no one of my guests. And it's very clear in the what's included in the tour that the small the Camel ride is included but not the big one by the beach. Conserning to the candcraft store,it's a part of the visite in the Medina and I've asked you of you'd like to visite it and you said yes you were interested in seeing it.we went there just for an idea and you asked for a mint the which it was their hospitality and you went out without any problem and you didn't booked anything from there to say that you wasn't happy with or something....so I don't understand that you're claiming on something that you've asked to see..... I have introduced you into my house and into my family and this is how you thank me ????

More than a meal - connecting with the history, Medina, and home life of Tangier
Bilal was such an excellent tour guide! We had a great time exploring a new part of the Medina and learning about its history from B.C.E. to modern day pop culture. We were welcomed into his beautiful home along with his wife and two daughters, where we had so much fun learning about different cooking techniques. Going above and beyond, we got to prepare both tagine and couscous, in addition to bread, dates, olives, salad, tea, fruit, and more. I cannot stress enough how mind blowingly delicious the meal was - the flavors were incredible, better than restaurants, and it was so rewarding to help make it! We left very full, and very satisfied. SHUKRAN to Bilal and family for being such generous and knowledgeable hosts!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for sharing with us your feedback about the experience. We're happy to hear that you've enjoyed our service and city. Hope to host you again Thanks

Tangier Food Cooking Class and Private City Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Tangier.
How much does Tangier Food Cooking Class and Private City Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $91 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 Food Cooking Class and Private City Tour take?
+
Plan for about 8 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 Food Cooking Class and Private City Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 83 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 75 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 Food Cooking Class and Private City Tour?
+
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 Food Cooking Class and Private City Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Tangier Food Cooking Class and Private City Tour?
+
Around 26 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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Tangier Food Cooking Class and Private City Tour 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.
