Tangier And Asilah Private Tour
The city of Tangier located in the northwest of the country on the Strait of Gibraltar and 14 km from the Spanish coast… it is in this city where the Mediterranean Sea meets the Atlantic Ocean and exactly in the lighthouse of Cape Spartel.
The city is currently undergoing rapid development and modernization, becoming one of Morocco’s main tourist destinations. Many projects include new tourism projects in this city, including the new high-speed train from Tangier to Rabat and Casablanca, the new Marina-Tangier Bay in the city’s mainland, a new IBN-BATOUTA international airport, the new IBN-BATOUTA football stadium and the new Tangier-Med port, which is now the biggest port in Africa and the Mediterranean countries.
Asilah is a sleeping fishing town in northern Morocco. It has its own seductive charm with a restored medina that has bright tones of blue and white paint that fill the walls. It is an ideal place to see the coolest beach life in Morocco. It was occupied by Romans, Arabs, Portuguese, Spanish and French. Many famous writers and artists have spent time here. Artists such as Paul Bowles, Tennessee William, Edith Wharton, Jean Genet, William Burroughs, Jimi Hendrix, and Henri Matisse have all found this small town inspiring, so now we have called Asilah the city of painters and all these young artists, Painters from all over the world come to Asilah every year for a week to graffiti the walls of the old medina and Kasbah and also to advertise their paintings at the festival that is held at the Kasbah Palace in the old city of Asilah.

Benamar is an intelligent and personable young man who has earned his credentials to become a professuonal tour guide. Great communication skills (we did the tour in English) and he made us very welcome. The tour was a good mix of showcasing Tanger’s natural beauty, different experiences (Ok, a camel ride might seem a bit touristy, but I’m glad we tried it), history and culture. Wish we had Benamar with us to advise and bargain when we went to the medina the previous day – he gave us some great tips. Good restaurant recommendations too. I highly recommend you do Benamar’s tour or talk to him about customizing one for you. He also is a guide in other cities in Morocco not just Tanger.

I’ve taken a lot of tours in my day (I’ve been to 30 countries) and this one was my absolute favorite. 6 hours flew by and at the end, I felt like a local. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to do camels, eat amazing food, be inspired by the local culture, and have a true historian as your guide.

I recently had the opportunity to travel to Morocco and spend three weeks exploring this amazing country. And out of all the cities I visited, I must say Tangier was my absolute favorite! The experience I had in this city has had a lasting impact on not only me, but my whole traveling group. Tangier is so beautiful; but we also had an amazing tour guide, Achraf, who made the experience so much more memorable! He is extremely friendly and easy to talk to, which made the day less stressful as traveling can be. He is also knowledgeable about all the places that we visited and has a great sense of humor! It was like we were learning and exploring Tangier with a friend. I can say that without a doubt my group and I were engaged and excited about all the places and activities that Achraf had planned for us. Without any hesitation, I would recommend Achraf to anyone looking for an excellent tour guide for Tangier and/or its surrounding cities. We had the best day with him, from the landmarks to the cuisine my group and I had an awesome time and he definitely contributed to our positive experience!

We booked a tour with Benamar Tour Guides via the internet with barely any knowledge about them and hoping that the tour would be enjoyable. We met our guide, Achraf, right where he said we would meet in a professional vehicle with a sign stating our name. Achraf, and the driver Ali, helped us into the vehicle and we very kind. As the tour began, Achraf kept us constantly entertained by explaining all the sites and their history, and stopping frequently to let us take pictures of the beautiful scenery. As we wanted group pictures, he took great pictures of us all together. We noticed little things that made the trip more enjoyable, like our camel ride was a little longer than all the other tourists, the vendors in the market didn’t try to hassle us like other tourists, and we were able to see I estimate settings that we would never have found on our own. When we were confused about our ferry tickets, he took us to the ferry – with no extra charge – and helped us to rectify the situation. As we were still a little lost, he walked us back to our bnb – which was no where near where he had to go. He gave us information for the next leg of the trip and he asked us to call if we have any problems along our way. This is a great tour service, Achraf is a phenomenal tour guide, and he helped to make my birthday a blast!

Achraf was outstanding. He was waiting for us before our our arranged time. His English is excellent as is his knowledge of Tangier. We had a wonderful walking tour and saw all the main sites in the city. I highly recommend him to anyone who enjoys learning about a wonderful city . We asked if he would take groups larger than four, as specified on the Tours by Locals site and he said he could accommodate larger groups. He also treated our group to a refreshment and local cookies!

Achraf proved to be the perfect guide for our tour of Tangier. This was our first trip to North Africa and he made it memorable and unique by the outstanding service he gave us in terms of knowledge pf the area and varied experiences. We had an overview of the city and visited the fascinating Cave of Hercules, as well as lunch in a local restaurant with tasty cuisine. We visited the Kasbah and the shops and oh yes, the not to be missed camel ride. I highly recommend this gentleman as your guide.
Ken
I can highly recommend a tour of Tangier and beyond with Achraf. Five of us recently took a 6 hour tour of Tangier with Achraf and his driver that included time for a super lunch in the Kasba area. Achraf is a certified Morrocan tour guide. In addition to his knowledge that he shares with you, the van that he uses is equipped with charging cables for your phone, water and chocolates! Achraf and his driver are also there to take pictures and videos of you and your friends from multiple phones. Achraf was born and raised in Tangier; has been doing tours for more than 5 years and his mother and father are tour guides!!
I felt that the tour was excellent value for the money.
