Yes. Fast ferries from Tarifa reach Tangier in about an hour, and your driver meets you at the port. The tour can also end at the port for your return crossing.

Is one day in Fez enough?

A full guided day covers the essentials: the tanneries, madrasas, souks and artisan quarters. If you'd like time for a hammam, a cooking class or simply wandering, we can add a second night.

When is the best time for this route?

Spring (March to June) and autumn (September to November) are best, with mild weather and green countryside. Summer is hot in Fez and Meknes, and winter brings rain to the Rif.
