About this tour
Cross the strait from southern Spain to Morocco on a fast ferry, then spend the day exploring Tangier's layered past with a private guide and driver. You'll navigate the warren-like Medina, scale up to the Kasbah, hunt for the legendary Caves of Hercules where two seas meet, and catch sight of the royal palace from a distance. Lunch is Moroccan, transport is air-conditioned, and your guide unpacks the city's shifting cultural currents as you move through each quarter. Nine to ten hours total, start to finish.

What to expect
You'll board the express ferry early morning and arrive in Tangier within an hour. Your driver collects you at the terminal and you climb into a cool minivan for the sightseeing stretch. The guide walks you through the Medina's twisting alleys, pointing out daily routines, shop owners, and the rhythm of local commerce. You'll visit the Kasbah Museum, peer at the King's Palace from outside its gates, and drive to the Caves of Hercules—a windswept spot where the Mediterranean and Atlantic technically converge. There's a camel ride somewhere in the itinerary, plus a proper sit-down lunch with Moroccan dishes. Late afternoon you head back to the ferry terminal for the return crossing.
Good to know
The pace is full-on; wear sturdy shoes for cobblestone walking. Bring sun cream and a hat—the Caves are exposed. WiFi is available on the ferry. Wheelchairs are accommodated throughout, including the minivan. Small children can use prams; infant seats fitted to the vehicle.
