Just a azing - Amazing experience and amazing guide. Majid was waiting at the port to greet us. He is friendly and has a wealth of information and stories about the beautiful city of Tanger. Would definitely recommend their services that are A+. Thank you again Majid for this beautiful day spent with you.

Great walking tour of Tanger! - Our guide, Farid, was wonderful. He is one of the most genuinely knowledgeable guides I’ve ever met in my travels. He speaks about the history and the culture of Tanger with enthusiasm. In addition, he shortened a couple of the tour stops at our request to accommodate our young teens without compromising the quality of the tour. I would recommend this tour and Farid as your guide to anyone looking for a tour of Tanger.

First time in Tangiers but not the last! - Our tour guide Hamza was amazing. He was patient, informative, flexible and courteous. Karim was super accommodating of our last minute request for the tour and even adjusted the schedule for me even though I didn’t realize the time difference from Spain when I originally booked the tour.

Great experience in visiting Tanger - We booked this tour as a private tour for four persons (three aged between 16 and 21 and the "old one" in his mid-fifties). We came over from Tarifa for a one day stay.
Right after booking, Karim put himself in contact with me via WhatsApp to make sure that we know all possible difficulties when crossing over to Tanger (e.g. that you should better be one hour ahead of time in Tarifa during summer so not to miss the ferry).
We met our guide Farid right at the exit in the port of Tanger (he was there with my name). Farid is really a perfect guide, extremely knowledgeable when it comes to the history of Tanger (& Morocco) but also when we asked questions about the Moroccan culture - there was no single question he could not answer. Furthoremore, his English is perfect (far beyond my expectations). We visited the old town but also the quarter which was built by French, Spanish and English when Tanger was an international zone. Farid advised us to first visit the town before going shoping so not to miss out anything.
I certainly recommend Tangier Patito Tours.

Great condensed tour of the highlights - This was a highlight of our trip. We spent 3.5 weeks in Europe and took the Tarifa Ferry from Spain to Tangier Morocco. We were only in Tangier for the duration of this tour and left later the same day. Karim is fantastic. Great communication and preparation prior to our visit. I had mentioned to him that the day we were visiting was on my daughter’s 10th birthday. So in addition to riding camels and seeing the market and amazing sights around town, Karim also surprised my daughter (and us) with special moments she will never forget. At the market she got a rose and got to stand behind the counter at the candy stand and pick out her own candy. He even took us to a traditional restaurant where they fed us and surprised her with a birthday cake and the whole place sang to her as well. It was so kind of them all to do this. We felt like family. If you are unsure, book this tour with Karim. Easily one of the better decisions I made my entire trip was taking this tour!

Amazing tour! Definitely recommend! - Karim was an amazing tour guide! We had a private tour of the Kasbah, just me and my husband, then we went to the food market and shopping in the Medina. I am a wheelchair user, and Karim and his team made sure everything was accessible and that the tour was tailored to us! It was a great way to see Tangier!

Best tour guide ever! - We had a three hour private walking tour with Majid as our guide. We travel all over the world and very frequently and have never had a guide who was as knowledgeable, entertaining or accommodating. The owner of the company contacted us before to check what we would like and not like as part of the tour, met us on the tour and followed up after to check we were one hundred percent happy. (We were TWO hundred percent happy!!)I would recommend this company to anyone touring in Morocco!

Great walking tour and fun in medina and souks. - Absolutely recommended tour and must if you want to explore old part of Tangier. It is good to take a guide if you are coming for a first time to Morocco and Karim is a right person to contact. Morocco is a country rich for history and diverse culture, so it is helpful if local person can explain you how the things go on and make it easier for you to get away. Thanks to Karim we saw places we would never discover on our own and we learned so much interesting facts and secrets about this mystery place and Morocco in general. Tangier because of it strategical position has many things to offer and it is an interesting journey and great fun with local people in markets and puzzly medina, very friendly and welcoming atmosphere. If you are interested to buy a piece of traditional art or a small thing, Karim will show the right place. We really enjoyed our time and are happy to discover traditional and local things.
