Tangier Tours: Private Tours from Tangier

Tangier is where the ferries from Spain arrive, an hour across the Strait of Gibraltar, and the start of our private tours through northern Morocco and beyond. Your driver meets you at the port, then takes you to Chefchaouen, Fes and, on longer tours, the Sahara and Marrakech.

Ferries from Tarifa arrive at Tanger Ville, in the town center; ferries from Algeciras arrive at Tanger Med, about 45 minutes east. Tangier also has an airport with flights from Europe.

Planning a Tour from Tangier

What to see in Tangier

The kasbah and its terraces over the Strait, the old American Legation, the Grand Socco market square, and Cap Spartel, where the Atlantic meets the Mediterranean. Half a day is enough; a night lets you see the town after the day visitors have left.

Five days: the north

Our 5-day tour from Spain covers Tetouan, Chefchaouen, Volubilis and Fes, then returns to the ferry via Asilah. It is the best short trip from Andalusia.

Two weeks: the whole country

The 2-week Morocco itinerary from Tangier travels north to south: the Rif, Fes, the Sahara, the kasbah valleys, Marrakech and Essaouira. It ends with a flight home from Marrakech, or we plan the return north to Spain.

In between

With 7 to 10 days from Tangier, you can reach the Sahara via Fes and either loop back north or end in Marrakech. Tell us your dates and we build the route.
