Tangier Shore Excursion for Cruise Passengers

Is your ship calling at Tangier Ville port? Our Tangier shore excursion lets you discover the highlights of the city in a few hours, with complete peace of mind. Your private driver and local guide wait for you right outside the cruise terminal, and we bring you back aboard with a comfortable safety margin before all-aboard time.

A tailor-made Tangier shore excursion

The cruise port lies at the foot of the medina, so very little time is lost on the road. A typical programme starts on foot with the Kasbah and its museum, the souks, the Petit Socco and the Grand Socco, followed by a tea break at the legendary Café Hafa, perched above the Strait since 1921. The vehicle then takes the scenic coastal road to Cape Spartel, where the Atlantic meets the Mediterranean, and on to the Caves of Hercules. If your call is short, we focus on the medina and the viewpoints over the Strait; if it is long, we add more stops.

Why a private tour instead of the ship’s excursion?

Booking directly with a local company avoids the large groups and queues of the excursions sold on board, and is often better value. Your group is limited to your own party, the guide speaks your language and the pace adapts to children, seniors or travellers with reduced mobility. We follow your ship’s schedule and remain reachable on WhatsApp throughout the day. You pay on the day of the excursion, with no prepayment.

What to bring ashore

Wear comfortable shoes for the cobbled lanes, bring a hat in summer and keep a few euros or dirhams for drinks and small purchases. Clothing that covers shoulders and knees is appreciated in the old town. Your guide can help you shop for souvenirs without pressure, only if you wish.

Planning your Tangier shore excursion

Send us your ship’s name and call times and we will design the ideal programme for the time available. Check with your cruise line which documents you need to go ashore, and keep your passport or an ID with you. Our Tangier shore excursion is best booked in advance, as soon as you know your call times.

Larger groups of cruise passengers can travel in several of our 17-seat Mercedes Sprinter minibuses, with a guide — contact us for a quote.
