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!!
Excellent day in Chefchaouen: everything was perfect, the transport and especially the guide who took us to visit beautiful places away from the tourist flow!
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 🇨🇦.
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!!
All very well organized and super punctual... the guide always attentive and concerned for us and very polite
The guide in Spanish was only for us. It was like we booked a private tour.
Great experience. Our Driver Khalid and guide Ali awesome. Ali walked with us and showed all point of interest. On our one it would have been difficult. We loved Blue city. It was so picturesque and beautiful.
Thank you for your feedback! We’re happy you enjoyed the exprience!
Jalal was a great driver and did an excellent job of getting us to the Blue City and meeting our group's needs and requests. He timed it perfectly so we were able to get a camel ride as well. Jalal also was very understanding when my kids got motion sick in the car.
Thank you so much! We’re glad you enjoyed the trip and appreciated Jalal’s care and timing.
Guided tour well worth extra, the history and traditions very interesting, and explained very well by knowledgable guide.
Thank you so much! We’re delighted you enjoyed the guided tour and the insights into Chefchaouen’s history and traditions. Hope to welcome you again!
