Lovely day in Tangier with Mohammed

Reviewed January 12, 2019

Mohammed is a very outgoing and knowledgable quide who had a great plan for our day and took us to wonderful views and nice experiences during our brief visit. He was very helpful in making our entry and exit from Morocco via the Tarifa ferry smooth and trouble-free. His driver took us around the new city while Mohammad told us about the history and the current situation, and we felt like we had a good overview of the place before we went to see the Perdicaris forest, Cap Spartel and the Caves which we had asked to visit, before we spent the rest of the day in the medina. As we visited those places, Mohammed gave us a sense of the magic of the terrain and the people who live there. In the medina, we got a terriffic tour of the Kasbah Museum, where Mohammed's father was a guide in years past. We also got a chance to learn a little about some traditional Moroccan food and herbalism, as well as walking through the many twisting lanes and hearing about some of the people who have lived there and the signature mix of cultures and tradtions that make Morocco and Tangier special.

Reviewed October 8, 2018

Mohammed gave us a tour of all parts in the city, since the new to the old town. The tour was full of historical content, since the first king og Morocco to the actual Tangier and it git get to nowadays. The Medina tour was good too as well as the food market tour. Overall a positive experience.

Our first time using Tour HQ will not be our last!  Mohammed was the perfect host for our visit to Tangier.  In planning our customized itinerary for the day "Mo" quickly responded to every e-mail and message to ensure that each detail was addressed.  He met us on time and with a warm welcome when we arrived in Tangier.  He communicated fluently in English without difficulty, and kept the day to a pace that was very much as we requested.  For the drive on the first part of our tour, Mo engaged an equally knowledgeable and friendly colleague with a new and very comfortable SUV.  As we drove to and then toured the panoramic sites outside the main city, Mo immersed us in the history and culture in a very clear and relevant manner.  There were many highlights, including an opportunity to ride on camels, see the ancient caves, the lavish exteriors of embassies and palaces, and of course a photo where the Mediterranean meets the Atlantic.  The subsequent walking tour of the Medina, local markets, shops, and the vibrant city was wonderful and very safe.  Many other local guides, shop owners, and residents greeted Mo with reverence as he is so well-known and respected.  We had fresh coffee in one of the famous cafes that was otherwise closed to other tourists.  There was no "hard sell" in visiting a few local shops; this added to the cultural experience as each craftsman explained things about their goods.  We shared many stories with Mo about our own culture and background and when we parted it was like saying good-bye to a member of the family.  We highly recommend Mo to other visitors without hesitation (but he must be available for us if we return!).  Thanks Mo and Tour HQ!
