Tangier Private Day Tour with Ferry from Algeciras

Cross from Europe to Africa in under an hour and step into Tangier's labyrinthine medina, spice-laden souks, and storied palaces — all on a fully private, guided day. A continent-crossing bucket-list moment like no other.

What to expect

Board the fast ferry from Algeciras port and arrive in Tangier in approximately 35 minutes. Your private English-speaking guide meets you dockside and leads you through the ancient Kasbah, the ornate Mendoubia Gardens, and the bustling Grand Socco market at your own rhythm. Savour a private traditional Moroccan mint-tea ceremony and lunch inside a restored riad before a leisurely return crossing with the Strait of Gibraltar glittering beneath you. The contrast of two continents — Islamic architecture, Andalusian echoes, Atlantic light — in a single day is genuinely life-changing.
