You can take euros to pay for goods and services. They is an expectation for tipping for the music & waiters. We had difficulty using cards. You will be taken to 2 specific areas to think about purchasing rugs and jewellery. The dessert is a biscuit accompanied by a shot of sweet tea and the food is shared between 4. If you are vegan or vegetarian I suggest making the tour company aware before embarkation or bring snacks which you can leave on the first bus. This experience gives you a taste and we found bartering was not accepted by younger Moroccan men. The guide works hard to ensure everyone is kept with the group. Be aware of the products you buy as they are often cheaper and better quality in central Malaga. The prices start at least 5 times the price found in a shop in Malaga. The panoramic tour was of a residential neighbourhood where you could see similar houses in any expensive neighbourhood. You can be firm but respectful to street sellers who will persist to sell items.

The day trip to Tangier actually exceeded my expectations. I had briefly seen some comments that getting on the ferry might take for a long time, queues, heat etc. Our experience was wonderful, our guide Julia was very friendly, we got quickly on the ferry and we had the best seats on the upper deck. Also the starting time of the day trip 8:45 AM from Malaga is convenient, not too early but gives you enough time to enjoy everything (13h hours). In Tangier we met our guide Abi and he is a real professional. His language was clear, his tour was very interesting and he pointed out the most important things. We had also a brief visit of the shops but it was really like an entertainment, no pressure to buy.We could choose the small souvenirs we wanted,Abi helped everywhere. In July it is usually very hot but it was OK too, light wind and walking mostly in the shadow. Exotic lunch with national dishes in a very classy atmosphere with live music. Very, very enjoyable day trip. I recommend it.

The only problem we had on the entire trip was the bus A/C breaking on the way back from Tarifa. Otherwise, it was the perfect experience for me. The guides from the Spain side were extremely helpful and cautious not to lose anyone along the way, especially through each border crossing. They were patient to wait for everyone and I could tell they really cared about our safety. As for the guide on the Morocco side, he was the perfect man for the job. He spoke loud and clear for all to hear, made sure not to lose anyone, and gave us help bartering and made sure we paid fair prices for everything, while also keeping us away from overly eager vendors. Plenty of history about Tangier was explained, we saw a lot of what the city had to offer, and the food for lunch was fantastic. The guides were quick and efficient, while also extremely attentive to our wants and needs. I would highly recommend this trip, the ferry was awesome and the city of Tangier was even more fascinating.
