Fantastic guide! OMAR is not only educated and knowledgeable in history, politics and socio-economics. He is also funny and knows his way around both in Tanger and Chefchaouen. We were a family of 4 and Omar personalised the tour with perspectives that would interest all of our different ages and areas. And also advised us to the best restaurants. We will be back!
Don’t ever take this group. They never showed up. I wrote to them on what’s app, sent an email, and I still didn’t hear back! This is a scam and I hope Viator will block them and refund my money.
Our guide Mohammed did an excellent job of showing us around and narrated the background of Chefchaouen.including its history and its people. Chefchaouen is a must place to visit if you are in Morocco.
Guide at the top, very nice, superb walk. Small terrace break well appreciated with a sweet attention from our guide🤗🤗🤗
Nouaman was my guide in Chefchaoun, his English was exceptional. He showed us wonderful local places. Having grown up in Chefchaoun, he is well connected in the communing and very helpful. The bakery he took us to had phenomenal cookies, and the baked goat cheese with honey and walnuts at lunch was beyond expectation. Yes, he will take you to the most photographed doorways and walkways in the world, but he will also guide you down some you've not seen before. He also has a profound love for animals, like most moroccans, he cares for the dogs and cats within the community -could you ask for more? 10/10 would recommend!
This was our first visit to chefchaouen and it was just awesome. The place is great and on top our host omar made is super exciting. Omar had demonstrated every detail from tangier to chef and in chef. Would love to go there again and with omar.
The guide did not show up. We called him on the phone and he told us he was out of town. Lack of seriousness, not recommended.
What a wonderful tour of Chefchaouen we had today with our Guide Muarad. We spent 4 hours in the Medina and he described the sites from both a historical and a cultural perspective. Every question that we asked him was answered fully and cheerfully. We could see that Muarad is very proud of where he was born and raised and that he was very passionate about being a professional tour guide.
Omar is very dynamic, cheerful and friendly We loved it There were 33 of us including 14 children Thanks Omar
We were invited to join in the tour by a fellow hotel guest. Omar provided a fun and engaging experience and was always willing to stop and take pictures. Glad we did this tour and recommend it to others.
