Tangier 1 Day Guided Tour with Transportation

A very shabby excursion, an old coach, uninteresting stops just touristy ones to sell you more stuff, and at lunchtime, the food was scarce except for the couscous... and in a huge dining room, they packed us all in tight.

A big hug and thank you very much to the guide Rachid who provided us with a fun and well disposed day, who in a few hours gave us many explanations about Moroccan culture and led us to visit some iconic places in Tangier. The lunch was very hasty and limited. Drinks and coffee are paid separately. That was the only negative point of the tour. Once again thanks to the guide who should be the one who works the most and earns the least. Embrace

On the spot a guide takes you to see his friends (partners) to make you spend at manufacturers of oil clothes etc. Too bad.

As you can see without valuation, it would be a minus-10....infinity. A real excursion scam, TANGER FARE, with one day TRAVELSUR. Extensive, but I'm putting it out there so you don't rip people off anymore. On the ferry, to begin with, the Moroccan policeman, ill-mannered, towards my wife above all, in his ways of asking for the documentation and the document that is filled out for the entry to Morocco, negligent on his part, confuses lists and on top of that treats you as if you were a criminal that you have sneaked on the boat in Spanish port, I think, unless Tarifa we hand it over to Morocco and they control everything and treat us as ........., all because of their negligence to search or by the agency that has not updated the list for that day. Disembarkation of the ferry, 9:00, meeting of the Travelsur hikers with the guide Rachid, the two who attended us have the same name. The departure, 9:50 we take the coach for the panoramic visit of the exteriors of Tanger, old coach, dirty, ramshackle, when other coaches of other groups of very new agencies waiting for their groups. After driving, I don’t know 10 or 15 minutes driving in the coach, the guide tells us that we have to go back to the port because two people have forgotten. The day of counting class wasn't. Again we leave the port, explanations of Tanger, his wife and mother-in-law who comes to see them and likes the dates and has to buy them, he said. Let's go to Cape Spartel, where according to Mediterranean and Atlantic arrows, search when you go the place of union and separation, luck!!. Then stop at a beach parking lot for a two-three-minute photo on battered camels and, of course, if you're a woman be ready to be touched and groped when climbing and climbing down the camels. Grotto of Hercules, tourstada of photos, of monkey, parrot, Berber, artificial grotto, there I do not rest Hercules, did not exist, smells very bad and more bad. Finally when we leave the cave, almost 12, I always talk about Moroccan time. We're finally going to see Tanger, I think, well, no, I'm wrong again. We stopped to see a gigantic ficus tree, then we entered a souk gate for him to see the date stands to buy it from his mother-in-law at the end of the excursion, he had not read it in the program of it. And now comes the creme de la crem, let's eat typical Moroccan food. The entrance to the restaurant promises...... You enter and what is in the fences I do not know if it is cat pee, by the corners of stairs, black bits of something, you go up stairs and you see the essence of the site, scuffle and forgiveness but this word exists, shit, shit, shit and shit and as you go up to your living room more shit. The straight tables prepared with dishes, cutlery, bread baskets and other utensils to eat on, all dirty, cutlery not washed, but not washed, used, dishes that sticks the finger and the napkin that had on, bowl for the dirty soup......etc, etc, and a surprise visit, a cat by the straight tables eating bread from a basket of the diners that we were going to sit. We left the restaurant without food, impossible that dirt and those unexpected visits. We communicate this to the guide and he advises us and accompanies us, what a mistake we made, to trust him. It takes us to a nearby Restaurant, we stay in it, another tourist, two "typical" menus, 40 €, mediocre and bad food, full of groups with their guides and the muscles of the day. We started, I think, the real journey of Tanger 15:35. We passed a loom where they sell tissues, we saw part of the "Medina", we climbed the Kasbah and show the charmer of snakes, black Cobra and Viper, who before went to the dentist for the extraction of teeth, that is a show gentlemen...... and tip whoever wants and the photo. It takes us to the meeting point to the Gran Café Central and then for lovers of spices and argan accompanies us to the nearby site, thinking we was the spice market, it does not take to some tourist places again, where they make demonstrations I don't know what, because we left before we started the tourist. From there, we went on our own to tour the souk, for which he gave us 1 and 30 minutes. BEST OF THE EXCURSION, THAT HOUR AND THIRTY MINUTES ON OUR OWN BY THE SOUK AND ALSO WE SAW REAL RESTAURANTS, WHERE THEY EAT AND AT THEIR PRICE AND NOT TOURIST. Loss of time for visits and interest of the guide. The Synagogue we have not seen, the Sultan's Palace I do not know where it is, the Grand Mosque seen by the glass of the coach and fast, the visit to the Medina and Souk very very short, very short, to say nothing of anything, which is the real Tanger. Meeting at the agreed point, collected by the coach for transfer of 100 meters to the port, with 40 or more degrees inside and the air conditioning without cooling. Transfer to the port entrance, goodbye and good trip by the guide. I'm not going anywhere with this agency. If you have to see Tanger take Balearia tickets, and discover it on your own it is very accessible from the port of arrival, except of particular interest, Cape Spartel, Camels and artificial cave is not worth anything and avoid tourist restaurants, tour it on your own, by the Medina, kasbah, souk and restaurants of them to eat, it is safe and with some Tourist Police by the sites frequented by tourists. Look at the Agency program and compare it to the field trip we've been on. A disappointment and tourist.

Excursion went very well with guide Rachid, polite, well-humored and attentive. The walk is very good. What's getting better? Restaurant. The food that is typical of Morocco with a lot of cuscuz and little meat insufficient for everyone. Drinks prices within the remaining cis average. Another factor to improve little free time for shopping. The guide takes us to some shops, but of interest to him and we lost a lot of time in these places. Shopping in the markets of the region and that interests us we have little time, 1 hour and could be from 1:30 hs to 2 hours free. Then it would be perfect.
