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.
Scott Morgan, USA, Lawrence, KS To put it simply, Ahmed Taoumi is your ticket to a perfect day in Tangier.
I was planning a trip to Spain for my wife and our three children. I was very interested in taking the ferry across to Tangier but was not sure of the best way to make it a success. I did not want to be part of a large group staring out of a big bus nor did I want to walk off of the ferry and face a gauntlet of would-be “guides.” I decided I needed to find a private guide who could meet us and take care of everything and after much research, chose Ahmed.
After crossing the Mediterranean and getting off of the ferry, there was Ahmed waiting for us as he said he would and from then on we had an absolutely wonderful day. I wanted a guide that would show us as much as possible of Tangier in a day, would keep my family safe and would not be constantly trying to take us places to buy things. Ahmed met these expectations and so much more.
He has a tremendous amount of pride in his country and has a passion for introducing new people to its modern face as well as its fascinating and beautiful past. We went places where I probably would not have been comfortable going had we not been accompanied by Ahmed. However, with him we felt less like nosey Westerners and more like invited guests. As we followed Ahmed around, my children were asking if he knew everyone in Tangier as he was greeting all sorts of people and it was clear that he was respected and liked.
As we boarded the ferry to return to Spain, we had to laugh because we realized that we had not bought anything except a wonderful lunch. We actually wished we had asked to be taken to some place to buy a few things but we had expected that we would need to keep our guard up from being taken to too many “special” places. With Ahmed, you have someone proudly displaying his home and not someone who is worrying about a commission from every sale.
If you are not the type of traveler who enjoys large tour groups and you are not the type who enjoys throwing your family into strange places without some sort of plan, Ahmed is absolutely who you want for Tangier and Morocco. Our family treasures our day with Ahmed.
Bob Ingram, USA, Greenville, SC Ahmed Taumi met us on the dock when we had 5 or 6 hours in port. Our ship was 3 or 4 hours late getting to Tangier due to high winds, but he was waiting for us on arrival with a modern mini-van and Driver. His driving and walking tour were the highlight of a ten day visit to Portugal, Morroco and Spain. His knowledge, love of country and experience made for a great tour.
