Description
This isn’t just a walk — it’s a deep dive into the real Tangier. With a local guide, you'll uncover hidden spots, hear untold stories, and feel the true soul of the city
Your Tangier walking tour begins at Cinema Rif, right at the heart of the city. From there, we’ll head into the Grand Socco and enter the lively Medina, exploring its narrow streets, local markets, spice shops, and traditional bakeries. We’ll pass by the American Legation, then stroll through the Petit Socco, a spot once popular with artists and writers.
Next, we’ll walk up to the Kasbah, where you’ll discover peaceful courtyards, historic gates, and enjoy panoramic views over the Strait of Gibraltar. Along the way, I’ll share real stories about Tangier’s rich cultural mix — from Moroccan dynasties to European spies. We’ll also stop for a mint tea break at a local café and visit hidden gems like artisan workshops.
The tour lasts about 3 hours, starting from Cinema Rif, and you can choose the time that suits you best. You also have the option to customize the experience based on what you’d like to see or focus on — whether it’s history, shopping, or just exploring local life.
