Reviews
“Great Tour of Tangier”
Rababe was great. She would never push you to buy merchandise from a vendor. She took us to local places so we saw the real life of Moroccans. The tour was well-organized and we saw all the highlights of Tangier. Thank you Rababe for this great tour.

Thank you Patrick for taking time to write this beautiful review. It was my pleasure meeting you and your lovely wife, and showing you Tangier. Come back soon for a longer tour of Morocco. Warm regards from Tangier !
“Perfect day in the market! ”
We had such a great time with Rababe! She was punctual, professional and friendly and gave us lots of information about the market and Moroccan culture and history. She was very patient with us as we took numerous photos, asked questions and entered multiple shops. We would not have had the same experience without her, she absolutely enhanced our day. Our only regret is we had to leave! We have since told many other travellers about our experience and encouraged them to seek out Rababe for an amazing day in the casbah.

“Warm welcome in Tangier”
With a last minute itinerary change, we were most fortunate to schedule a tasting/walking tour with Rababe. Extremely personable and knowledgeable, she offered significant insight into Tangier's history, culture, religion, people and food while navigating the streets of the Medina and kasbah. We were quick to note that Rababe is a considerate, genuine, warm and kind woman. During a return visit we will be privileged to once again spend some time with Rababe, further exploring her wonderful City and the many culinary delights offered.
