    Pluses and minuses with this tour operator (Visitanddo.com/Rios). Very poor communication with operator as the bus with the other passengers arriving from Malaga were late and the first ferry was missed. We met at the port. The tour guide with the operator had very limited interaction with the guests. Once we arrived in Ceuta and Abdulla the Moroccan guide arrived, the tour was great. Changed the schedule to have lunch first due to the lateness of arriving. Very informative and passionate about sharing the history. The carpet vendor and pharmacy could have been skipped. An additional bathroom break should have been provided. It was 7 hours between the opportunity to find facilities. Due to a delay at the border crossings, we again missed our ferry (which is not in their control) and had to wait another 2.5 hours for the next one. Bus driver was kind and showed some sights and dropped off in Ceuta for dinner before returning us to the ferry port. Worth the hassles to experience Tetouan.
