excellent choice is Said Nacir ( 0671 04 57 06; www.d-destination.com) . An English-
speaking national guide with over 20 years experience, he specialises in private tours of Tangier
for small parties, from individuals to families, at Dh350 per day including transport and entry
fees. For Dh800, he offers a day trip from Spain including ferry tickets, pick-up, entry fees,
lunch and guide services – a bargain. Itineraries can be customised to your taste.
