A fully guided private day trip from Tarifa to Tangier — ferry tickets, local guide, authentic lunch & hassle-free transfers all included.
The Strait of Gibraltar is only 14 kilometres wide at its narrowest point, making Tangier the closest African city to mainland Europe. Our Tarifa to Tangier day trip takes full advantage of that proximity — you board a fast ferry in southern Spain and step onto Moroccan soil barely an hour later.
Every trip is fully private. No large tour-bus crowds, no rigid schedules. Your licensed Tangier guide adapts the day to your interests — whether that means lingering in the artisan quarter, spending more time at Cap Spartel, or uncovering hidden rooftop cafés the guidebooks miss.
Travy has been organising private tours in Tangier for over 15 years. We handle every detail — ferry tickets, port formalities, restaurant reservations — so you can focus entirely on the experience.

Bring your passport, comfortable walking shoes, sunscreen, and a light jacket — the Strait of Gibraltar can be breezy. We suggest carrying euros or withdrawing Moroccan dirhams at an ATM inside Tangier port.
A small daypack for souvenirs is handy since the medina has fantastic artisan shops selling ceramics, leather goods, spices, and argan oil.
Tangier is one of Morocco's safest and most cosmopolitan cities, and has undergone significant modernization in recent years. With a licensed private guide from our Tangier tours by your side, you can explore confidently without worrying about navigation or language barriers.
Our guides are experienced locals who know every corner of the medina and ensure you have a comfortable, secure experience throughout the day.
We recommend booking at least 48 hours in advance so we can secure the best ferry slots and coordinate your guide. During peak season (June–September) and holidays, booking 1–2 weeks ahead is advisable.
