Tanger old city by foot
We had Mustafa as our guide through an extensive tour of the old city of Tanger, the casbah, the Medina, if I could give Mustafa 10 stars I would. His local knowledge and access to hidden gems, gave us more than my wife and I thought possible.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear that you and your wife had such a memorable experience with Mustafa. His passion for Tangier, deep local knowledge, and ability to share hidden gems truly make every tour special. Your kind words and generous support mean a lot to us, and we hope to welcome you back for another adventure in the future. Safe travels! 🌟

A beautiful day
We had a pleasant day touring Tangier with this guide. He was friendly, spoke excellent English, knew the city well, and showed us the major sights. He was also very helpful with taking photos and made sure we saw some great viewpoints around the city. Travelers should be aware that the tour included several shopping stops at rug, ceramic, jewelry, and cosmetic/oil shops that we were not expecting. The guide was courteous and did not pressure us when we declined to buy. If you book with him, I recommend discussing in advance whether you want shopping stops included and, if so, what kinds of shops interest you.
Response from the operator: Thank you Rebecca for your kind review and for choosing my tour. I’m very happy that you enjoyed exploring Tangier, the viewpoints, and the highlights of the city. I also appreciate your feedback regarding the artisan shop visits. These stops are included to give travelers a chance to discover local Moroccan craftsmanship, but there is never any obligation to buy. I always do my best to adapt the experience to each guest’s interests. Thank you again for your visit, and I hope to welcome you back to Tangier in the future!

Great and Authentic Walking Tour in Tangier with Mohammed
We had a really nice 3-hour walking tour with our guide Mohammed. From the beginning, he was punctual, welcoming, and easy to talk to. He took us through the Medina, the Kasbah, and some quieter streets that we probably wouldn’t have discovered on our own. What we liked most was that the tour didn’t feel rushed or too “touristic” — it felt natural and authentic. Mohammed shared a lot of interesting information about the history, culture, and daily life in Tangier, but in a simple and clear way, not overwhelming. He was always patient with our questions and made sure everyone in the group was comfortable. At one point, we stopped for a short break, which was very appreciated. It honestly felt more like walking around the city with a local friend than being on a typical tour. Overall, it was a great experience and a perfect way to get to know Tangier in a few hours. We definitely recommend Mohammed to anyone visiting the city.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much Sara I’m really happy you enjoyed the tour. It was a pleasure showing you Tangier 😊

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Tangier Walking Tour: Medina & khasba & Markets 3H: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Tangier.
How much does Tangier Walking Tour: Medina & khasba & Markets 3H cost?
+
Prices start at $57 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 Walking Tour: Medina & khasba & Markets 3H take?
+
Plan for about 3.2 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 Walking Tour: Medina & khasba & Markets 3H worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 77 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 28 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 Walking Tour: Medina & khasba & Markets 3H?
+
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 Walking Tour: Medina & khasba & Markets 3H suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3.2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Tangier Walking Tour: Medina & khasba & Markets 3H?
+
Around 10 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 3.2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Tangier Walking Tour: Medina & khasba & Markets 3H 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.
