Bruce, Canada, Toronto Ten of us took a one day tour with Ahmed, we took the 0900 ferry from Tarifa and departed the same day at 1700. We were met at the port by Ahmed and he took us on an air conditioned coach for a ride through the city and out in to the countryside. We saw all parts of the city, took a camel ride, saw the Grotto of Hercules, the Casbah, the Medina and had a wonderful lunch, and needless to say, the ladies shopped. We took a tour of a museum in the Casbah,and and sampled bread baked by a communal baker.
Ahmed took ten seasoned travellers and gave them all a wonderful tour. As we took the ferry back to Tarifa, to a person they all raved about the tour, and how we were treated.
Ahmed's explanations of the city, country and culture were very interesting, and informative.
The bus driver was very courteous, and we could leave our belongings on the bus while we toured. When we arrived at the Casbah, Ahmed's associate joined us to ensure that ur journey through the more crowded parts of the city were enjoyable, as it is easy for a group to split up.
One of the most impressive thngs for me, as the group coordinator, was that Ahmed delivered everything he promised. We emailed back and forth a number of times before we arrived to iron out details, and Ahmed was very good with his suggestions and we were given a wonderful tour at a price I thought was vey good.
Now my comments may sound like I am on Ahmed's payroll, but the truth is that I never met him before we arrived at the port, and I booked over the internet, and you are never quite sure what you will get. I have been on a lot our guided tours, and this was the best.
Whitney Waites, USA, Columbia Mr. Ahmed Taoumi was the perfect tour guide for my time in Tangier. Not did I feel secure with Mr. Taoumi, but he was extremely informative on all aspects of Moroccan culture, politics, and history. I highly recommend his services and would hire him again.
Kara Friedman, United States of America, Rochdale, MA I have taken Mr. Taoumi's tour twice, and both times were unforgettable experiences. This is a great way to experience Morocco because Mr. Taoumi lets you choose what you want to see, but at the same time is knowledgeable and informative throughout the entire tour. He goes above and beyond, was kind and made us feel secure.
I would recommend this tour to anyone who wants to see Morocco through the eyes of someone who is not only thoroughly educated about the area, but is extremely proud of it as well.
Debra Friedman, United States, Rochdale Taoumi Ahmed provided for our family a tour that was tailored to fit our needs, taking into account our time frame as well as our interest. His approach was proactive and anticipatory. He was extremely knowledgable of the history as well as the various cultures that make up Tangier. As someone who is employed in the tourism industry, I realize that it is the unusual guide that has all the attributes that Taoumi Ahmed demonstrated during our tour. Our experience with Taoumi Ahmed was absolutely outstanding in all aspects.
Wynn Loudon, USA, Leland, Mississippi Toumi was an excellent tour guide. Our family of eight were all exceptionally pleased. The tour was highly informative and very professionally conducted. He showed us everything that we could have expected to see in the few hours that we utilized his services. We felt safe and secure with him, his driver, and his associate in the kasbah. I would highly recommend him to anyone that is looking to take a guided daytrip to Tangiers. Thanks Toumi.
