What To Expect
Place du Grand 9 Avril 1947
The Grand Socco of Tangier is a lively square connecting the old medina with the modern city. Surrounded by colonial-era buildings, cafés, and shops, it’s a hub of daily activity where vendors sell fresh produce, spices, and handicrafts. Key landmarks include the Sidi Bou Abib Mosque and the Mendoubia Gardens. Historically, it played a crucial role in Morocco’s independence when Sultan Mohammed V gave a speech here in 1947. Today, it remains a vibrant cultural and social gathering place in the heart of Tangier
Tangier Casbah
The Kasbah of Tangier is a historic fortress overlooking the medina and the Strait of Gibraltar. Once a sultan’s residence and military stronghold, it now reflects the city’s rich heritage. Within its ancient walls, visitors can explore narrow alleys, whitewashed houses, and the Kasbah Museum, housed in the former Dar el Makhzen palace, showcasing Moroccan art and history. The Kasbah also offers stunning panoramic views of the city and sea, making it a must-visit destination for history lovers and travelers seeking Tangier’s authentic charm.

A beautiful day

5.00We had a pleasant day touring Tangier with this guide. He was friendly, spoke excellent English, knew the city well, and showed us the major sights. He was also very helpful with taking photos and made sure we saw some great viewpoints around the city. Travelers should be aware that the tour included several shopping stops at rug, ceramic, jewelry, and cosmetic/oil shops that we were not expecting. The guide was courteous and did not pressure us when we declined to buy. If you book with him, I recommend discussing in advance whether you want shopping stops included and, if so, what kinds of shops interest you.
Great and Authentic Walking Tour in Tangier with Mohammed

5.00We had a really nice 3-hour walking tour with our guide Mohammed. From the beginning, he was punctual, welcoming, and easy to talk to. He took us through the Medina, the Kasbah, and some quieter streets that we probably wouldn’t have discovered on our own. What we liked most was that the tour didn’t feel rushed or too “touristic” — it felt natural and authentic. Mohammed shared a lot of interesting information about the history, culture, and daily life in Tangier, but in a simple and clear way, not overwhelming. He was always patient with our questions and made sure everyone in the group was comfortable. At one point, we stopped for a short break, which was very appreciated. It honestly felt more like walking around the city with a local friend than being on a typical tour. Overall, it was a great experience and a perfect way to get to know Tangier in a few hours. We definitely recommend Mohammed to anyone visiting the city.

A wonderful tour from a local's perspective

5.00We booked a free tour with Mohamed via Guruwalk. It was a really great experience. He was on time, extremely welcoming, and very knowledgeable. The whole thing lasted about 3 hours, and took us all through the Kasbah, the Medina, the Grand Socco, and the Petit Socco. At one point, my wife needed a restroom and he quickly found a local spot for her. I was even able to grab a quick cafe to walk with when we ducked in. The tour was booked in english, but a few folks who spoke spanish showed up as well. He was able to speak to everyone well, and answered everyone's questions thoroughly. We'd been in Tangier for a week and a half already, so we had a bunch of questions about local life and Mohamed was a wealth of knowledge. He explained culture, customs, history, and even helped us with some basic Dajira phrases. Guruwalk recommended a 15-50 euro tip per person, which we felt was very reasonable given the experience. Mohamed did a great job and he definitely deserves to be paid well for sharing this beautiful city with us.

Fun Day in Tangier with Mohammed

5.00We were greeted by Muhammad after stepping off the Viking tour bus. He offered us a private tour at a good rate and helped us to get amazing photos in Tangier Morocco. He brought us into markets and shops where we purchased beautiful Moroccan mirrors and pointed out film sites for famous movies. Mohammed was knowledgeable and friendly and made our day an exciting experience we’ll never forget. It was one of our best experiences on our Viking tour.

Great tour with Mohammad

5.00We had a great time with Mohammad . He knew all the the good places to visit in the old Kasbah and souk. Everyone knew Mohammad as we went on our Tour as he is a local. My wife had to use a walking stick and Mohammad got us a taxi to the top of the Souk and then worked our way down rather than start at the bottom and go up. Very thoughtful. He also recommended a restaurant for lunch which was excellent. Cafe Dado. Would thoroughly Mohammad
