We spent two weeks in Spain and I had to plead with my wife to take a Tangier day tour. Her mental picture of Tangier was one of crime, poverty and filth. Ask her today and she would say it was the highlight of our trip. If you’re adventurous you can tour it yourself. I live in Chicago and I feel more unsecure on some streets here than I did in Tangier. Never once did I feel unsafe. I personally feel the added effort and expense of a personal guide was well worth it. I spent quite a bit of time researching guides and did not know which reviews were legitimate and which were posted by the guides themselves. Quite confusing. I ended up hiring a guide Rick Steves talked about in his Spain book. Aziz Begdouri made our Tangier trip memorable. He arranged for our Ferry tickets, met us at the port, gave us a personal tour of the city and dropped us off at a Moroccan restaurant for a leisurely authentic Moroccan lunch. Running late for the return ferry he whisked us thru customs. By all means visit Tangier, hire a personal guide if you can afford the extra expense and google Aziz Begdouri if you want a guaranteed Moroccan adventure.
