As-salamu alaykum It's a greeting in Arabic meaning "Peace be upon you" My name is Achraf. With Berber origins, my family has long been settling in the vicinity of Tangier. Renowned traders of the International era, Sailors at the Port of Tangier, Farmers in the villages surrounding, we have always been in contact with the various communities living in harmony in Tangier: Muslims, Christians, Jews, etc. My parents are teachers of English and Spanish. This unconsciously aroused in me an interest for foreign languages. It has made their learning easier 'Wherever you are coming from, we will understand each other perfectly" After a scientific training in high school, I continued my academic career in France and Canada in renowned Business schools. After that, I held management positions in Private banking, Luxury cars dealership, Operations Manager in Luxury travel, Private event sector and finally as Private guide.

Tetouanis claim that they are the true heirs of the Andalusian civilization and affectionately call their city "the daughter of Granada. " Architecturally, the Hispanic influence is dominant throughout the city, for Tetouan was first built by Muslim refugees from Spain in the 15th century and then it was enlarged by the Spanish government in the early years of the 20th century. Its Medina is one of the most fascinating and absorbing in the country, a delightful warren of detail. My tour will immerse you in the Local Culture: Food, Berber habits, Architecture & History. Tetouan tour takes you off the beaten path. It's composed of two parts just like the city itself. The sight-seeing tour will help you discover the Spanish Quarter. The Kasbah walking tour is full of treasures & surprises. The experience takes place in a labyrinth of commercial and residential alleyways.
Achraf was a very warm, lively and informative guide during the two days we were with him. He identified our particular interests and modified the tour to cover these. Achraf identified some interesting places for coffee stops and excellent restaurants for lunch which we certainly would not have found on our own. In particular, La Lubina Blanca a fish restaurant in Tangier which was packed with locals. All in all a very favourable experience.
We planned a day trip with Achraf to Tetoun and Chefchuan from Tangier - it was part of a root trip of my family to their origins. I must say, that from scheduling to the meetup and of course the tour itself, it was perfect! We learned so much about the city and got the most local experience from the cities, thanks to Achraf - kind, attentive, knowledgeable, and high level of English for easy communication. Definitely would be a next time!
Departure from Tangier: Tangier-Tetouan drive around 1h. We can see a beautiful landscape on the road: Jbala Mountains, Berber villages, locals small markets situated in the road. Tetouan is a city with dominantly Andalusian Flavor. Moroccan, Islamic, Phoenician, European and Spanish (Andalusian) architecture are harmoniously merged together. The Big Mosque, Spanish Cathedral, Babu Saidi, The Kasbah The Medina and Hassan II Square are proof examples that make of Tetouan a historical melting pot of cultures. -The old Royal Palace, a 17th century building, at Place Hassan II (Hassan II Square) is itself a reflection of the Hispano-Moresque architecture. -The old medina part (a UNESCO world heritage site) that is rich of history. It was a pirates hub and once the capital of Spain's colony. -The Museum of Moroccan Arts. The Tour is tailor-made & customized. We adapt the itinerary to your needs & interests. Stops along the day for Photography passionate, Breaks to refresh and a stop for Lunch.
