One day in Tangiers...help with guide

We have one day in Tangiers next month. We have friends that are in the Peace Corps in Morocco that will be coming to meet us. They will have an AirBnB for two nights with a beautiful terrace overlooking Tangiers. My idea is to have a guide/tour for the four of us in the morning and then spend the afternoon on their terrace visiting. Does anyone have a recommendation on a guide or how to go about finding one? Ideally they could pick up our friends from their location, meet us at the ship, and we would be on our way.

Because this is part of our Mediterranean cruise, I will post in the Other Mediterranean forum as well. Thank you so much for your ideas!

We had the pleasure of taking the most FABULOUS PRIVATE tour of Tangier with Taoumi Tours.

Mr. Ahmed the owner has been doing tours for over 30 years. He was a past President of the Tangier Tour Association. He has led tours for all the most prominent tour companies.( Such as American Express Travel, Maupintour etc.)- He has a very detailed website- that gives prices and descriptions of all his tours.

He responds very quickly to emails. His tours are very affordable compared to other tour companies that are rated higher on TripAdvisor. All tours in Tangier you basically go to the same places. So there is no need to pay more for your tours.

Mr. Ahmed was booked the day we wanted so we were given one of his guides in his company - Mr. Abdelaziz. He was such a wonderful, intelligent, professional. He has been giving tours for 35 years. He had a great passion for Tangier! His explanations of the city and sites was EXCELLENT! We wanted to go to some special places and that was not a problem. He took us to the Berber Market- which was very special to see. My husband wanted to go see the famous bar where Mick Jagger frequented when in Tangier. Nothing was too much to ask- he always let us decide what we wanted to do. We wanted to go to a special restaurant I found on TripAdvisor not a touristy restaurant . No problem! There was no high pressure carpet stores- which we were not interested in doing. We wanted to learn about the culture and daily life of the Tangier people- and he gave us detailed explanations of everything! Our tour lasted 7 hours and it was ONE OF THE HIGHLIGHTS of our trip!

He is very respected in the community and was greeted by many people throughout the tour.

All his friends we met- said " HE IS THE BEST GUIDE"! We felt so luckly to have had him for our guide.

If you are looking for THE BEST PROFESSIONAL TOUR COMPANY that is used by the most prominent tour operators- then Tauomi Tours is for you!

Thank you so much dafne! This is exactly the information I was looking for. I will contact him to see if he can provide us with what we are looking for.

Good news! He is available for the day we will be in Tangiers! Thank you so very much!!

To Ski Mom 2,

Happy it worked out. You will be very happy using him!

I just wanted to give an update on my conversations with Ahmed. He is picking us up at the port and from there going to pick up our friends that are staying at the beginning of the Casbah. We will tour the Casbah for half a day and then have lunch with him dropping all of us back at our friends apartment. When we are done visiting, he will call us a taxi to return to port courtesy of him! I am so happy and can’t wait to see our friends and tour with Ahmed! Thanks again dafne for the recommendation.
