Good to know
This tour suits anyone wanting a comprehensive first visit to Tangier without arranging their own transport or navigation — the private vehicle and guide handle logistics. It's wheelchair accessible throughout, and prams, stroller seats for infants, and service animals are all accommodated. The long day (10–12 hours) involves significant driving and walking through the medina's uneven streets; comfortable shoes are essential. Breakfast and lunch are included; alcoholic beverages and museum entries are not. The Hercules Caves entrance fee (€8) is optional. Peak ferry times may add queuing, though skip-the-line access covers main attractions. Tipping is not included in the price. Ferry schedules mean early departure from Marbella.
