Tangier Tour

Morocco may just be a short trip away from Spain across the Med but it's worlds away culturally. This fascinating excursion to the historic city of Tangier will give you an intriguing insight into north African life while enjoying a guided tour of its top sights and a traditional lunch.Sail from Tarifa to Tangier, which is known as the ‘White City'. It has historic links to Spain – as recently as 1956 it was a Spanish protectorate – and was even an English colony for 23 years in the 17th century. Yet despite the European connections, it is a quintessentially Moroccan city.We'll first head to the Grotto of Hercules, a mythical sea-facing cave, where, according to legend, Hercules rested after successfully completing his 12 tasks. There's an optional camel ride, too. Then it's time for a typical local lunch before a guided tour of the mazy Medina and hilly Kasbah. You'll also enjoy free time to source a souvenir or poke around the stalls.
