Majid the Magnificent Makes Morocco More than Memorable - My son and I were on a trip to Spain and Morocco, and had 3 1/2 days to spend in Tangier. Through our hotel, the Palais Zahia, we were introduced to Majid Abdelmajid, a nationally certified guide, with Tangier Unique Tours. Majid was a blessing sent by God and a huge boon to our trip to Morocco. On our first full day, I booked a Tangier Walking Tour for my son and I, but my son who is a high functioning teen with Autism Spectrum Disorder, the crowds, noise, etc.of the city were too overwhelming at that moment (He had been able to go out the evening before without a problem, but the sensory issues with ASD can be unpredictable). As we were not even 100 feet from our hotel when he became visibly upset and overwhelmed, I escorted him back to the room, and went on the walking tour myself. Our Spain/Morocco trip had originally been planned for four members of our family, at the last minute two had to stay back in the US, and now my son couldn't participate in the walking tour. I started crying, basically telling the backstory of the situation, and pouring my sadness out to Majid as we began our tour. He was so wonderful, understanding, and compassionate, soon I was able to let go of the things I could not control and enjoy the experience of walking the city with this extremely knowledgeable, wise, new friend, as he quickly became. I started the tour crying, and by the end, I was laughing and dancing with a group of traditional musicians who were playing and performing in the Casbah. Majid too was smiling and clapping and told me on the way back to the hotel that he was very happy to see my change of heart. Over the next few days, Majid when out his way to talk to my son whenever he saw him at the hotel, and even walked us all the way to a special fish restaurant (my son is pescatarian) so that he could have a special meal he enjoyed. We had booked a trip to the Caves of Hercules for our last day, as it was out of the city and would be more relaxing for my son, but at the restaurant my son met a woman from France who raved about Chefchaouen, the Blue City. Majid had told us the first day he met us (before the Tangier Walking Tour) that we should definitely go to Chefchaouen, but we hadn't heeded his advise. After listening to the French woman talk about the Blue City, my son was suddenly determined to go to Chefchaouen. When we met with Majid the next morning for our tour to the Caves of Hercules (a 2 or 3 hour tour), Majid rearranged his entire day so that he could take us to Chefchaouen instead (an all day tour). When I said that really wasn't necessary and that we didn't want to inconvenience him, he basically said, "Your son wants to go to Chefchaouen, so I will make it happen." I was very grateful for the extra care and attention he gave to me and my son, but he is simply a wonderful human being, I was not surprised. Thanks to Majid the Magnificent, we were able to go to Chefchaouen on our last full day in Morocco. It is a beautiful, picturesque city, with extremely friendly denizens. My son and I both had a fabulous time! So if you plan to go, or are already in Tangier, I can't speak highly enough of Majid from Tangier Unique Tours. He is beyond knowledgable about Tangier, the surrounding areas, and Morocco in general, more importantly he is a kind, compassionate, understanding, human being that I am proud to now call my friend and brother.

Majid, Best Guide in Morocco - I first did a walking tour of Tanger with the wonderful guide, Majid (Labbardi Abdelmajid). He soon became not just a guide, but a friend. He is incredibly knowledgeable, helpful, and an amazing and compassionate human being. A couple of days later, we booked a tour with him to Chefchaouen and had a great day in that beautiful city. Absolutely loved the tours we took with Majid, the delicious restaurants he recommended, and was extremely grateful for all of his help. He went above and beyond for us in every way.
