Excellent trip to and from Morocco on this ferry! We found the ferry port in Tarifa, Spain very…read moreeasily. It's at the end of the road in an area known for some of the best wind-surfing in the world because they way the continents, Africa and Europe naturally create a wind tunnels of sorts. If you have extra time, head to the beach nearby and watch kites and windsurfers! There are two companies at the port to choose from. We chose this one honestly just because it was leaving sooner, and it worked out very well... We parked for €17/day right there in a secured lot and we bought our tickets at the port because we didn't know an exact time we would be traveling. (They are available online, but only until a certain date and some may say "no open ticket", which means you need to commit to a return time. If you purchase them at the port you have an open return ticket valid for one year after the date you sail. We also found the prices to be cheaper in person than online too. Under €200 for 4 people, children are less expensive... €27 for children. €60 for adults.) The ferry was not open air, was much larger than I had anticipated, and was air conditioned! The seats were very comfortable and did recline. They have booths and tables too. I was so afraid the ferry would be like the littler ones I'm familiar with in Europe like ones from Naples to Capri where people get sick. Definitely not the case here. Smooth sailing! Onboard food and beverages, including alcoholic were reasonably priced. Nothing crazy, but enough to satisfy a craving for a quick snackeroo. The fam enjoyed fresh squeezed OJ, croissant and other cakes, which were said to be delish. The chocolate especially. I suggest bringing a card game or magazine to pass the time, which was about 70minutes. The windows are large and the views of the turquoise water are lovely! We enjoyed our window seats very much. They are all first come, first serve and plentiful! You will be handed two papers for each person the same time you receive your tickets. The white must be filled out onboard in order to enter Morocco and the yellow should be filled out prior to boarding on the way back. You will not be able to pass through customs back to Spain without it being filled out so if you're short on time, you may as well fill them as soon as you get them on your initial trip and when you're already filling out the white ones. The customs officer leaving Spain was a bit intimidating, but the one leaving Tangier was super nice and even opened up a new window for us as he saw we were in a hurry. I HIGHLY recommend taking even just a day trip to Morocco from this ferry if you find yourself in the south of Spain! To be able to take a quick boat ride to visit Africa is unreal!! We actually stayed overnight in Tétouan, which is an hr (€50) cab ride from this port in Tangier. I would absolutely recommend doing this is you have more time. The vibe and the scenery are completely different, plus you pass through the Berber Mountains en route and see the women picking Berber to make into carpets! Very, very cool!! We stayed near the King's palace in a gorgeous riad for close to nothing, comparatively speaking. Be forewarned, you will be hassled the second you step off the ferry in Morocco. The Medina and shuks are about a 10 minute walk from port, but you will most likely get lost because the streets are unmarked, winding and can be confusing. You can grab a taxi for €3 and I highly recommend it, especially if you're only visiting a short while. It wouldn't hurt to grab a guide for no more than €15 right off the boat too, even if just to keep others from harassing you. We chose ours from 3 men who approached us, and we're so glad we did... Stay calm when you arrive in Morocco. Try to not get overwhelmed, because at first it can me a bit much. The men who approach you will certainly remind you, you are now in Africa. And you certainly feel that immediately. Keep your valuables secure and your voice and demeanor firm. Ladies, I heard that if you cover up and respect the native Moroccans Ana their culture and religion, they will respect you, which is what I did and felt much more comfortable in the new environment. I would also note, I personally wouldn't go alone as a women. Amazing trip!! Easy, relaxing boat ride. Simple to purchase tickets. We thought they were somewhat reasonable. Would do it again in a heartbeat! It was incredible!! Thank you for the transportation and the bucket-list check!

I would give less if possible. We took a one day trip to Morocco. The trip was good until the…read moreboat ride back. We were told by the tour guide that the weather was bad so we had to leave from a different port (an hour bus ride instead of a 5 minute bus ride that we were expecting). That wasn't that big of a deal. The problem is that the tour guide thought the boat left the new port at 6PM like the original port. NOPE. It left at 5PM. So, our hour bus ride got us to the port at 5:06PM. The TRS boat was still docked, but for some reason it wouldn't let us board. We were told they left. THAT'S A LIE BECAUSE WE SAW IT THERE WHEN WE DROVE UP. Then we were told the reason we were there is because the original boat broke down. So which is it, the boat was broke or the weather was bad. Our tour guide never apologized or even told us the truth. And the worse part is that the next boat didn't leave the port until 8:45PM. Yeah, that's right. We missed a boat by 6 minutes and had to wait 3 hours and 45 minutes for the next one to leave. How come she didn't call ahead and tell them that 55 passengers are right around the corner. Please wait???

As long as you have a general idea of what you are doing and know a few words and phrases of the local language choices, you will be on way in short order. Hint #1: once onboard, go immediately to get your passport approved by Moroccan officials. You may be in line for the entirety of the journey, but that is better than adding that wait on after you have arrived in Tangier. Hint #2: the small amount extra for preferred seating is definitely worth it. It is MUCH quieter, there are free drinks and snacks, and you will have access to what is essentially a private bathroom.

If you're looking for a guided day tour from Tarifa to Morocco, this is what you want. we paid 55…read moreeuros for an all day (well, like 8 hrs) tour of Tangier, Morocco. We wanted to check out Africa, and didn't feel like getting ripped off or kidnapped, so we wanted a guided tour. this one was AMAZING! To get there, walk down from the old town center of Tarifa, and just past where the FRS tour building is, you'll see Grupo Travelsur. it's another tourguide agency, literally like 3 doors down from the FRS place. If you just want to take the ferry across to Tangier, they'll sell you a 60 euro ferry only on FRS, or if you pay 55 euros, you get the round trip ferry PLUS guided tour of Morocco, which includes lunch, berber dancer, bus to market, camel riding, cave of hercules, and shopping. The guides were multilingual, really made sure we got through everything. The food was AMAZING. the servers at the restaurant were polite. IF YOU DONT WANT TO SHOP, then don't go to Tangier. You'll have people hassling you to buy things every other minute. Luckily for us, we were American girls on holiday wanting to buy souvenirs. We kept getting sidetracked & falling behind from our group, and he guide kept making sure we didn't get left. it was really nice of him. they were so great! Would definitely recommend them over FRS.

We stayed in Tarifa the evening we came back from a day trip to Tangier. This hotel was lovely…read more Our room was very tiny, but the bed was comfortable, the room clean, and the decor just lovely. The bathroom was also very tiny, but clean, and stocked with the usual amenities. Some notes: -It can get VERY loud. The rooms all face out on the bar area which can disrupt your sleep if you're in bed before midnight. Bring earplugs. The night we were there they were having a huge party and there was a man playing the guitar and singing. We actually opened the windows of our room to listen, but if you are trying to sleep, this might be an issue. -There is free wifi in the lobby. Just ask the front desk for a password. -They will stow your bags for you if you arrive and your room is not ready. -Free buffet breakfast that was quite good. We enjoyed mimosas and toast in their lovely cafe. There is yogurt, ham, cheese, and coffee available as well. -No television in the room. We didn't care, but if that matters to you, just an FYI. -There is a small shop and a spa on site if you're so inclined. I think we paid 75 euros for our room and it was worth every penny. It's close to the dock if you're planning on taking the ferry to Tangier, and also walkable from the bus station if you arrive that way. (We took the bus from Sevilla.) Highly recommended if you're in Tarifa!

To start a good review (perversely) on a bad note: the rooms at La Sacristia are not the biggest,…read moreand in peak season they're not the cheapest, either. Hotel stays aren't determined by fixtures, fittings or facilities, though - it's the time you have that make them. And the time we had was fantastic. We had a great meal in the buzzy bar/restaurant (a mixture of local tuna and local beef, if memory serves), a stroll round the block on a summer's evening for a couple more drinks followed by a great night's sleep. The next morning, up for breakfast and a wander round the lovely old town (which the hotel is at the heart of). Objectively speaking, La Sacristia was good. But for some reason we just had an amazing time - so I'll always remember it very fondly.

I've booked my tour from Seville to Granada 3 months in advance to secure Alhambra entrance ticket and paid more than £300 for family of 3 to be told on the day that my booking doesn't have access to Al hambra and they blamed on the 'get your guide' app. Completely dismissive, unapologetic and inefficient. On arrival to Alhambra ticket office made it clear that it's totally naturanda fault and lack of efficiency and to be told that we don't have access to everything ! It was not only us, there was another family of 5 in the same situation. The response from the company was completely useless and dismissive. I'm definitely suing them for ruing my whole trip that I've planned way in advance. This is not a company it's a SCAM. Terrible avoid.
