Tangier Half-Day Authentic Private Tour & Camel Ride Experience

My time in Tangier was nothing short of magical, and I owe it in big part to Karim. After exploring the city with him on a Monday, the experience resonated so deeply that I didn’t hesitate to book a second, more extended tour with him later in the week. Every moment felt intentional, unhurried and rich with meaning. Walking beside Karim through the Kasbah and Medina felt like moving through a living story. As a native of the Kasbah, he knows its winding corridors by heart, effortlessly guiding a group of friends and me through the labyrinth while opening doors to trusted artisans, merchants and hidden corners I never would have found on my own. From camel rides along the coast on Achakkar Beach to quiet moments in Parc Perdicaris, from the stunning panoramic views of Cap Spartel to the mythic depths of Hercules Cave, every stop felt thoughtfully chosen. Along the way, I sipped mint tea, learned about Berber rugs and traditional oils, admired beautiful scarves and experienced moments that felt authentic, timeless and deeply rooted in Moroccan tradition. What sets Karim apart is not only his knowledge but also his spirit. He shared the history, culture and soul of Morocco with pride and warmth, offering context to every view and meaning to every stop. Through his stories, Tangier revealed itself not just as a destination, but as a place alive with memory and heart. By the end of my second tour, Karim no longer felt like a guide, but like family — he is a true cultural ambassador who transformed my visit into something lasting. If you want more than sightseeing, if you want to truly feel Tangier, I cannot recommend Karim highly enough.

Hamza helped our experience be very enjoyable. In Spanish. Amazing time, very attentive. Would definitely hire this service again

This was a great way to experience the amazing city of Tangier. The driver Abdul and guide Yasmine are both locals and have grown up in the city- they were well informed and explained to us in good English the history of the city. They made stops long enough for us to soak in the various places they took us to. We saw the following places and absolutely loved each of them: Mosque, Cap Spartel, caves of Hercules, confluence of the 2 oceans. We were taken to a nice restaurant for refreshing mint tea. We walked through the beautiful Kasbah, streets of the Medina and did some shopping in the Petite Socco. We then had lunch at a traditional place which was excellent. Throughout the day, they made us feel comfortable and let us do things at our own pace. The tour operator Karim was also very communicative and went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of. We will gladly recommend this place to our friends and family.

The team at Patito was incredible from booking to execution! Karim and team were engaged and intent on making our Tangier experience as perfect as humanly possible. They communicated early on, offered a number of great options and we cooperatively arrived at an itinerary that checked all of our boxes and did not feel rushed. Jasmine, our guide, was wonderful! So knowledgeable and proud to show us all the details that made the city special, which we took to heart. We will certainly be back and would love to have our family and friends experience Karim and Jasmine’s Tangier. We also hear Patito has offerings throughout Morocco and will likely take them up on those in the future! Could not recommend an experience more highly!

We booked this trip rather than the cruse ship tour. Despite being initially rather dubious about camel riding, we all had a great time and it was one of the highlights. Unlike the big groups we had the beach to ourselves- just the four of us and the very jolly camel man. Decent ride along the beach for about 20min. The Cape Spartel tower entrance wasn't included in the price but we thought it was worth doing- you get to climb the tower and the views were great. We didn't bother going into Hercules caves as it looked very comercialised. Majid was a great guide and very knowledgeable and we had a very enlightening tour of the old town Medina, Kasbah and Souk. Pick up and drop off from the port was very easy and the car very comfortable and well driven. All in all we would thoroughly recommend this company.

Hamza met our group at the cruise pier holding a sign with our name on it, couldn't have been easier. We loaded up in a nice Mercedes van and started our tour. Hamza was willing to tailor the tour to what we wanted. We saw many of the highlights of Tangier and rode the camels. We stopped at a wonderful hilltop restaurant for a snack break. Overall excellent tour! Hamza was very professional.

Fellow cruisers who took the Celebrity Excursions and paid more money for their excursions than us and saw less. They were in a van, and the guide pointed out churches but they just saw the outside. They could not even stop to take photos. They went to the market and were hounded by vendors. The whole trip was rush, rush. Our tour guide, Majid and our driver, Mohamed, were fantastic. They met us at the port and led to a Mercedes van, and off we went. Majid gave us information about Tangier, the various religions, history and cultures of the city. They drove to sites and explained their importance and history. We actually did ride the camels, and admit going across the desert would not be our first choice.. None of us on the bus felt we were rushed from site to site. They gave us time to experience the sites, the market, and stopped for free green tea on the tour. Two people wanted to go to Starbucks to get a cup, and they took us. Majid offered lunch, but only one couple wanted lunch, so they drove us back to the port and went back and picked them up after. Two people wanted to go to Starbucks to get a cup and they took us. Instead of an advertised 5-hour tour, we were gone for six. Do not waste your money on the Celebrity tours. They charge a lot for what they offer.

Hamza was great to work with. He was very professional and explained everything in a clear and easy way. We did a private half day tour and really enjoyed it. We skipped the camels because it was raining, but that was our choice. He was very accommodating and made the whole experience simple and comfortable. I’d book with him again.

Tangier Patito Tours it’s a well organized and trusted tour company. We booked our tour with just a day prior arriving to Tangier, and Karim reached out asking what we wanted for our experience. Our tour guide was Majid and our driver Abdul. They picked us up (on time) at our hotel. Majid was extremely knowledgeable, very kind and friendly. Everyone knows him, he is a legend. Abdul did an excellent job driving. He was very kind and always kept our bus cool (it was a very hot day) and provided water. We felt safe all the time. The people of Tangier are so friendly and love their city. We like to travel and we have taken other tours with other companies all over the world, Tangier Patito Tours exceeded our expectations. I highly recommend it!

The tour was amazing! Both our driver and guide were so nice. Our guide was very knowledgeable and explained every detail of where we were and where we were going. The trip was personalized to our liking as we don’t do much shopping. The Camels were definitely the highlight of our trip! Such a beautiful country, it left us wanting to come back and see more!
