  • 4Good Combination Trip in One Day

    The blue city and the white dove city were both very nice - the Medina and artisan market were also good. Our guide Abdul at Chefchaouen was very nice and great at taking pictures. One recommendation, do not enter the stores since they literally force you to buy even though your guide says they will not, or enter being strong on the no side - if you do buy prices are very high, so you need to negotiate. This was the only sour experience reason I put in a 4. The guide should warn us of this situations and guide us how much we should really pay. Besides that the trip perse was great. We recommend the tour highly combining both cities.

  • 4Perfect!

    My day trip to Chefchaouen was a wonderful experience. Everything was very well organized from start to finish. The pickup and drop-off were punctual and convenient, making the entire trip stress-free. The guide was friendly, knowledgeable, and shared interesting information about the city and its history throughout the journey. Chefchaouen is absolutely beautiful and definitely worth visiting. The famous blue streets, charming atmosphere, and stunning mountain scenery make it a truly unique destination. The only downside was that many local shops and vendors do not accept credit cards, so paying by card is almost impossible. I would recommend bringing enough cash with you. Another thing to keep in mind is that some vendors approach tourists quite persistently to sell their products, which can sometimes feel a bit overwhelming. Overall, I had a fantastic day trip and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Morocco.

    Friendly drivers - Youssef and Omar and the guide in Chefchaouen, Abdul. Abdul took us around to visit shops and nice spots to take in the view and photographs. The vans were comfortable with airconditioning and WiFi. Overall decent experience for the price.

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.
