What people are saying about Chefchaouen

We had an amazing time on this day trip. Chefchaouen and the drive out there is stunning and a must see. Our driver Anass was very nice and Informative. The only thing I wish we new in advance was to bring water shoes for the akchour hike. Part of the hike required walking across a rocky river, up to our knees in water. Since we weren’t prepared for this we ended up taking an alternate route to see a small waterfall. We really enjoyed the hike as well but it is definitely not ideal for anyone with mobility issues as we were jumping across wet rocks on part of the hike but this luckily wasn’t an issue for us. Overall, we were very happy with the tour and it was our favourite experience in Morocco so far! I highly recommend!

The tour was great. Picked us up on time and dropped us back in front of our riad in Fes. The bus was comfortable. More importantly, the tour was specifically enjoyable thanks to Souka that made every effort to guide us and care for us: she made sure we had every detail needed to visit the city, but also that we got the required information to meet up for return trip back to Fes the day after. Using WhatsApp, we were able to stay in contact with her constantly in case we had more questions or requirements, which was very helpful.

Ottima esperienza, con transfer ad andata negli immediati pressi del nostro Riad (un pulmino con ca 20/25 turisti). Souka, la guida presente sul pullman, è stata estremamente disponibile ed ha illustrato diversi punti significativi lungo il tragitto. Dopo la notte trascorsa a Chafchaouen, ci è stato organizzato un transfer con autista privato per il ritorno (x4 persone) che ci ha riaccompagnato fino al nostro Riad a Fez. Servizio e organizzazione ottimi! Bravi!

Great day tour, get sufficient time in Chefchaouen to explore by self or follow the crowd. Distances are long so drive is long with 1-2 short breaks on the way, in peak season several tourist buses follow the same route so expect crowds.

Sulka was very helpful. descrption was very accurate to the itinerary
