A true sample of excellent tour guide! - Without a doubt one of our favourite and memorable family vacation. Upon arrival from Tarifa in Tangier Port, we were warmly welcomed by Said, holding a board with my name. Me, my husband with our 4 year old boy felt welcomed and with such a friendly atmosphere we had a fantastic start! They even bought us the ferry tickets one evening before. Said as a guide was extremely good, very flexible (appreciate this!) and for that he deserves special thanks. We had 4 great hours in Tangier, which obviously also added up to the experience. Said is such a warm personality and highly motivated guide (recommendable.). Also the driver Omar was very nice and the minivan clean and good smelling. We visited a lot in the short time of our private tour: Hercules cave, a great park up on the hill, camels with camel ride, Medina and an art shop and a special farmacy with super argan oil and creams and had a gratis neck massage. In the end we had a yummy early dinner for only 60 eur with lot of food (gamberi and sword fish with couscous were perfect) and drinks for 3 people. They even gave us water, bananas for our kid and a plate full with tasty baklava. I kept the plate as a nice souvenir. We will be back soon, for sure:)!

Great private tour of Tangier - Great private tour experience. Said was very responsive leading up to our arrival and once we connected with our guid Youssef it was smooth sailing. We had an amazing tour of Tangier with Youssef. He told us there 1.2 million people that live there and I’m pretty sure he said hello to 999,999 of them along our walk. The tour was filled with all the history and facts you would expect, but then also had a lot of personal touches that really gave us a sense of what it is like to live there. We also were lucky to be there on a Sunday which was a “market” day so the casbah was rocking. The lunch spot he took us too was fantastic and reasonably priced. We learned to haggle for rugs. A great day and experience.

Your Best Introduction to Morocco - Thanks, Said - There are many so many good things I can say about my day with Said & co., but here are just a few: 1. This is a fantastic introduction to Morocco by those that know it and live there. Sure, you do the tourist sites, but you also get the out-of-way nooks and crannies of the Casbah and Medina that the big tours can't do in limited time. 2. Communication: Said was always quick to respond and I had no problems coordinating the time and place to meet. He greeted me at the ferry with a big smile. 3. My guide Abdullah and driver Muhammad knew all the secret tricks to getting in and out of special spots quickly so we had ample to time to see so many sites. Abdullah seems to know everybody in the whole city and everywhere we went we were treated like old friends. 4. The true value is that you could never do so much on your own as you could with a more in-depth tour such as this. Not only did I get to see a generous taste of what Tangier has to offer, but it's got me wanting to go back for more.

A wonderful experience!! - A wonderful day with Ahmed in Tangier. Said put the tour together for us. He was incredibly helpful and planning via email was super easy. Ahmed picked us up from the port with a driver and modern van. Despite the rain, it was a fantastic day, we learned and experienced a lot! Thank you Ahmed & Said. See you next time!!

A Perfect Day in Tangier - What a perfect day for our family! From the time we landed at the port, Said took perfect care of our family of five. While we were initially concerned about a 7 hour tour with young kids (ages 5, 8 and 9) the schedule, pacing and the complete hospitality shown by Said throughout the journey gave our family the best day in Morocco! I would highly recommend Said to other families looking for a tour in Morocco!

Tangier Tour - We had a man excellent tour by Hamid set up by Mohamed Said Tangier Tours. Hamid greeted us as we exited the Ferry from Tarifa, Spain. He ushered us through the crowds to our waiting car. He and our driver took us all around the coast of Tangier to get an over view of the area. We then began a walking tour of the nighborhoods and markets. We ate at a delicious restaurant Vandalucia. It was a great day

The best tour of Mohamed Said - This was an exceptional private tour and the best private tour experience I ever had. I was travelling with two elderly parents who required a bit of flexibility and comfort and from the very first moment when Muha picked us up from the hotel we were truly looked after - travelling in a modern air con van with wifi available throughout the sightseeing where our mobile networks failed. Sightseeing was very interesting - Muha has a very jovial and warm personality and great knowledge about Morocco’ history but also overall geopolitical situation. He made us the all the local delicacies (unprompted!) and organised the tour in a way that is not too tiring but allows to see everything thats relevant - for example we drive around other parts of Tanger that are iff the beaten track to get a more complete view of the city. Muha looked after us till the very end - ensuring we get to the ferry safe and also checking if we got to the next destination ok. I strongly recommend this company!

Incredible day in Tangier! - What an amazing day we had in Tangier because of Said and Hamid. We were welcomed at the port and then it all began! Nearly 7 hours flew by and we wish we had more time. We felt like we were with friends and not just tour guides. They were warm and inviting and tailored the private tour based on the specific needs of our group. Hopefully we’ll be able to see more of this beautiful and exotic country with Said and Hamid in the future. From start to finish, this was an unforgettable day and Said made it all possible, so we are all very thankful.

Great Day in Morocco - Said was as excellent guide. Only showed us the best. Took us around the new city, the old, Cave of Hercules (where he introduced us to a local specialized cave guide that made the caves that much better), rode on camels, and ate the best traditional Moroccan lunch. My wife, sister in law, and I had a great time. Kid friendly and easy to do. Camel riding was great, Said took great pictures for us. I would recommend this tour. He's open to changing the itinerary if you would like to and is a great guy to go around with. He even took us back to the old city for more shopping when my wife wanted a pair of shoes. As they apparently also say in Morocco, (I think three different people said this to me) 'happy wife, happy life.'

Had a great time - The code for the ferry worked smoothly. The meeting at Tangier was easy. We saw a lot of areas by car, then did a walking tour of Old Town. Mohamed walked at a pace we could easily keep up. He explained a lot about what we saw. Very interesting, we really enjoyed the day. It was one of the top highlights of our 2 week trip. The only minus was the market he took us to for shopping. It was not what we were looking for and very expensive.
