Highlights
  • Parc Perdicaris - The attractiveness of the site of Perdicaris is characterized by a mixture of sea, mountain, and forest.
    Stretching over an area of about 70 ha, this forest is considered a natural and historical heritage. It belonged to a Greek-born American diplomat who was retired. It was more specifically Ion Perdicaris who decided in 1872 to move to Tangier.
  • Cap Spartel - Lighthouse Built by Sultan Mohammed III in 1864, this lighthouse was maintained by Great Britain, France, Spain and Italy until Morocco’s independence from France in 1956. From the top of a cliff in the far north of the African continent, the area around the lighthouse offers a breathtaking view of the Strait of Gibraltar.
  • Caves of Hercules - The cave has two openings, one to the sea and one to the land. The opening to the sea is known as “The Map of Africa”. It is believed that the Phoenicians created the opening to the sea which has the shape of Africa when viewed from the sea.

We had an incredible time! Don't hesitate to book with Achraf. - We had an incredible time with Achraf! We're still blown away by how much we were able to do and see in one day. We met him at the Tangier port and were picked up by a private driver who remained with us for most of the tour. This was super convenient as we were able to leave our bags in the car with him during the tour. We really appreciated the flexibility of the tour - we were able to opt in our out of the different parts as we wanted. It was really well structured & packed with sightseeing, photo ops, historical context, cultural info, and fun! Achraf was incredibly knowledgeable and his passion for sharing his love of Morocco with others is evident. He also went above and beyond to make sure we understood how to navigate Tangier and get to/from our hotel & the port, as well as making himself available via text after the tour ended if needed. He even helped us find and check in to our hotel in the middle of the tour. If you're looking for a tour guide for Tangier, stop what you're doing and book Achraf!

A very flexible Ashraf - The tour was great from the first contact to our drop off.. The pick up was smooth and just in time, first we started by driving through the coast side of Tangier, we stopped in the Hercules Caves and the northernmost point in Africa which is lighthouse from the Middle Ages.. then we head up to Assilah a very small city by the Atlantic Ocean, the madinah was very cute and you can feel the Portuguese history and heritage just by walking through the streets. The lunch was greaaat, with a very reasonable price. Afterwards we got back to see the color full madinah of Tangier, we end our tour and we start our friendship with Ashraf.. he was very polite, Knowledgeable, patient and went out of his way just to make this tour memorable for us you really don’t want to miss this tour with Ashraf
