Day Trip to Tangier, Morocco

Available All Year Round Upon Request

Next small group departure accompanied by Annie – Sunday 7 April 2019

I love Tangier, and have visited dozens of times over the years. As an introduction to the Moroccan way of life, a day spent here is a must, especially as it’s so close.

It took me a little while to scratch beneath the surface and appreciate just how fascinating a city it actually is. Although only 45-minutes away, as soon as you disembark the ferry, you are transported into another world. Instantly you will be struck by the hustle, bustle of people getting on with their daily life, the vibrant colours and scents of the spice souks, wafts of sweet mint tea being poured from glistening silver teapots, piles of fruit and vegetables opposite mounds of nougat and almond delicacies. Everywhere you look there is a feast for your senses. I just love it!

I have been travelling this route for years to buy spices, visit friends and for onward journeys in Morocco.

The very best way to experience Tangier is with a pre-booked local guide who will be waiting for you as soon as you clear customs. I have been working with the same guides for years and can assure you will be in great hands. Arranging this private tour through me, you will experience a cultural, not a carpet-shopping tour. I will provide you with my exceptionally well-researched list of places to visit, what to eat and what to look out for, as well as talking you through all the aspects of travelling to make sure your journey is hassle-free.

If you want to stay overnight in Tangier, I can recommend my favourite hotels and where to find a reviving G&T!

“Abdul, our guide, was absolutely fantastic. He took us to so many places and is so insightful. I cannot begin to describe how amazing this was. It was absolutely fantastic. Thank you so much Annie”

“Thank you very much for organising our trip to Tangier. All a great success and Aziz was charming and lunch was out of this world! We probably needed a bit more time in the souk, but they can always go back another time! “Family Diamond, UK June 2017

Here’s what they have said

Our guide was Abdul, such an amazing man, and so knowledgeable. He seemed to be the "grandfather" of the guides. He also seemed to know all the right people in Tangier. I don't know if all the tours are like that, but we were impressed! I can´t believe how much we packed into the day. The walking tour was fascinating, with just enough opportunity to buy a few things we wanted. So thank you for arranging that for us.

Annie makes cooking and eating delicious food a course requirement. We explored the beautiful town of Vejer, tasted sherry in atmospheric bodegas and sampled fabulous tapas. It was all well organized and felt like an ongoing party instead of a course. If the opportunity to attend one of her classes presents itself jump at it!

Diane Berk NY, USA October 30, 2017

Annie is an excellent teacher and the location in Andalucia is second to none.

Matt Ronson London, England August 9, 2018

So much more than cooking...Annie has a knack of making you feel as if you have known her for ages and the day was fun and informative. Eating the fruits of our labour up on the fabulous terrace with my fellow students was lovely and my daughter who was visiting me at the time was able to join us.

Why Vejer de la Frontera

It’s breathtakingly beautiful. Your first glimpse of the town is as a blinding flash of white on a hilltop against the bluest of blue skies. Up close it’s just as easy on the eye, too – a labyrinth of narrow, cobbled streets winding its way between quiet squares, churches and handsome historical buildings, it’s a photographer’s dream.

Thank you for such a lovely experience. Both my mother and I had a great time. Your kitchen and home is warm and inviting, and your rooftop terrace devine! All of the food was delicious, and we can't wait to try and reproduce some of the recipes.

Jill, Connecticut USA June 29, 2018

From the first contact Annie was so friendly and helpful – and patient with all my questions as I tried to work out how to get to Vejer from Seville by public transport!

We have had a fabulous few days in Vejer. Your cooking classes were outstanding. You have so much knowledge to impart and are a brilliant instructor. We all now know so much more about sherry, not least what a versatile drink it is. You have also acted as our guide to Andalusian food with all its treasures. (Tuna Sperm awaits tonight)!

From us all, a massive Thank You for all you did to make our short holiday so special.

Family Monroe Cumbria, UK August 12, 2018

Your course was a big help in bringing some great food back to our home dinner table as well as opening my eyes to more of the Sherry opportunities.
