Place du Grand 9 Avril 1947
During the tour of the Medina, you'll make a stop at this historical square which is commonly known as Grand Socco and that divides the Medina from the Ville Nouvelle area of Tangier. Notably, It is one of the places that hosted Kaiser Wilhelm Il of Germany when he visited Tangiers on 3 March 1905. The stopover worsened tension between the Germans and the French and, among other events, ultimately led to World War I. Also, It's the location where King Mohamed V delivered his speech and the symbol of his arrival to the city on April 9, 1947, when Tangiers was under international domination.

Medina of Tangier
The Great Mosque of Tangier is a nineteenth-century construction that stands in what was once the center of the medina of Tangier. The site of the mosque was formerly the home of several significant religious buildings from various civilizations that previously occupied Tangier, dating back originally to a fifth century Roman church. After the Muslim conquest of Tangier in the eighth century, the church was converted to a mosque by the Marinid Dynasty and remained so until the late fifteenth century. The mosque was replaced by a church during the centuries in which Tangier was under Portuguese and English rule. After Moulay Ismail recaptured the city for the Alawi dynasty in 1684, the church was once again transformed into a mosque. Sultan Sulayman completely rebuilt the mosque in 1815 due to its poor physical condition, creating the building that stands in Tangier today.

Fantastic walking tour of tangier
absolutely loved this walking tour of Tangier! It was the perfect way to explore the city's history, culture, and hidden gems. Our guide Guide's anwar was incredibly knowledgeable and friendly - he shared fascinating stories about Tangier's past and made the whole experience engaging and fun We wandered through the lively Medina, visited beautiful viewpoints overlooking the Strait of Gibraltar, and even stopped for mint tea at a local café. I really appreciated how our guide made sure we felt safe and comfortable the entire time, while also giving us insight into local life beyond the tourist spots.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful words It was such a pleasure showing you around Tangier and sharing the stories of my city. I’m really happy to hear you enjoyed the tour and felt comfortable throughout that means a lot to me. I hope to welcome you back again someday to explore even more of Tangier’s hidden corners together

I had one night in Tanger...
I had one night in Tanger so I wanted a guide to show me the town to get the most of it. He was nice, and he did walk me around but he also took me to his friends shops and I had to sit while they demonstrated how nice their rugs and oils were. I felt taken advantage of, and I would not have spent my only evening in Tanger that way. He should take this into consideration as time is valuable, I paid for this tour and I came a long way. He also tried to take me to his friends restaurant which was 20 euro for dinner and I was not interested in that or the underrated restaurant.
Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are glad you enjoyed exploring Tangier and seeing the main highlights of the city. At North Tours Tangier, we carefully organize all tours to provide safe, enjoyable, and memorable experiences. Any suggestions to visit local shops or restaurants are completely optional, and guests are never required to make purchases or join any meal. Our goal is always to enhance the visitor experience. We appreciate your comments, as they help us continue improving our service and ensuring every guest enjoys their time in Tangier.

Tangier Kasbah Medina Private Tour Recommended by Rick Steves: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Tangier.
How much does Tangier Kasbah Medina Private Tour Recommended by Rick Steves cost?
+
Prices start at $46 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 Kasbah Medina Private Tour Recommended by Rick Steves 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 Kasbah Medina Private Tour Recommended by Rick Steves worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 63 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.4/5 across 5 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 Kasbah Medina Private Tour Recommended by Rick Steves?
+
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 Kasbah Medina Private Tour Recommended by Rick Steves 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 Kasbah Medina Private Tour Recommended by Rick Steves?
+
Around 2 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 Kasbah Medina Private Tour Recommended by Rick Steves 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.
