• 5Great driver, excellent tour guide.

  Very professional and courteous. The driver was great at explaining everything about our trip in multiple languages. The tour guide in Chefchaouen (Joseph) was amazing. He also spoke all the languages and he has degrees in history and will tell you anything and everything about the city you’re touring.

• 3Disappointing...

  CHEFCHOUEN is very typical but too touristic in my opinion. Local artcraft is overlooked by too many souvenirs' shop. Our driver was a quiet man, he gave us very few information, but he was respectful and polite. we were quite disappointed to pay more 200 DH for a drop-off at the airport. we asked the driver if it was possible and at no time he told us that there was an extra fee. we had already money ser aside for a tip that we obviously didn't offer. very bad experience due to a behaviour that was totally dispensible.

• 5Great day trip

  Mohamed provided excellent guidance and arranged convenient door‑to‑door pickup from the Port of Tangier for our camel ride, a beautiful city Chefchaouen, and a stop at the scenic lake. He was professional, friendly, caring, and attentive to every detail. He stayed on top of the schedule, and we returned to the cruise right on time.

• 5Wonderful Day

  5 stars plus. Pick up was super easy. Omar, our driver, was on time and picked us up right from our hotel. The van stops both on the way to/from Chefchaouen, where there are clean toilets. Our guide Josef was from Chefchaouen and was very knowledgeable about the city. When it was time for pick up, we got a little lost, and since you have the drivers phone number, it was easy to be reunited. They provide bottled water for the trip. It was an amazing day. Loved the city, history, culture. Omar really gets 10 stars, not 5. THANK YOU!!

• 5Amazing driver & guide - Zouheir and Ibrahim

  This day trip to Chefchoaun and Tetuoan was wonderful. Zouheir, the driver and guide was incredibly knowledgeable, patient and kind. He answered our endless questions (both multilingual) and gave us insight into the Moroccan experience from pick up to drop off. The smaller group size was really nice and both Zouheir and Ibrahim accommodated my elderly mum's mobility(knee) struggles and our need to move very slowly. Accommodating us meant so much and Ibrahim never made us feel like we were holding the group back. Thanks to him we saw the beauty and learned the stories of the blue city. I would recommend taking this tour and asking for Zouheir (beautiful smooth drive with views out the rif mountains) and Ibrahim in Chefchaoun. 15 out of 10!!! Shukram from Toronto 🇨🇦.

• 5Totally worth it!!

  This trip is worth the drive! The blue city of Morocco, is an interesting experience, located on these stunning mountains, with a fascinating 20 year history!! The drive, broken up by mid-way stops, is bareable, especially when Chefchaouen is so interesting!!

About Tangier

Tangier sits where the Atlantic meets the Mediterranean, a storied Moroccan port of whitewashed medina lanes, a hilltop kasbah and views to Spain.

The medina climbs from the port to the kasbah, where the old sultan's palace, Dar el Makhzen, holds a museum with views across the Strait of Gibraltar. The Grand Socco and Petit Socco were long the meeting points of the city, and their cafés recall Tangier's decades as an international zone that drew writers, musicians and artists.
