The experience

You're picked up from your hotel and start in the Medina, where your guide walks you through the narrow streets and introduces the history, culture and daily life of Tangier. The markets fill the route. This is where locals shop, and your guide explains what you're seeing as you move through. The overview is personal: you get the city's story, not a script.

The tour moves through the main sites: Tangier Grande Mosque, the Tangier Kasbah and its museum (entry included), the American Legation, Grand and Petite Socco, and Saint Andrew's English Church. At one point you stop on a terrace with panoramic views and sit down for tea or coffee. The Kasbah Museum sits inside the palace walls, and the Grand Hotel Villa de France marks another landmark along the route. You'll have free time built in for shopping in the markets if something catches your eye.

The tour runs about 3 hours on foot through the city's core. Your guide speaks English, Spanish, Italian, French or Portuguese, and the vehicle is air-conditioned for breaks between walking sections. All areas are wheelchair accessible, and the operator can arrange infant seats if you're traveling with small children.
