Chefchaouen Secrets: Private Walking Tour with a Local Friend

Incredible tour with Mourad, an exceptional guide! We were able to discover the history of Chefchaouen as well as many privileged places by getting off the tourist paths. Mourad also had the great kindness to invite us to his grandmother's house where we were able to rest and have great discussions about the Moroccan way of life, the history of Chefchaouen, as well as his family. All interspersed with several excellent mint teas! We met part of Mourad's family, who were also very kind and shared their meal with us and showed us the father's traditional weaving workshop. Mourad did not count his hours and took us at the end of the day to see the sunset from a viewpoint overlooking the medina. We are very happy with this meeting and we will most certainly return to take advantage of the other activities offered (cooking, weaving, or pastry workshop...)

My tour guide Morad, was absolutely wonderful! He made my first visit to Chefchaouen, a warm and welcoming experience…from learning about the history and culture, and music. And the traditional tea was delicious. I highly recommend this tour and experience.

An unforgettable tour! Everything was unusual - and the time of the event (9pm), and itinerary (not by the main tourist destinations, but by those places in Schäfschauen that show the other side of the city (e.g. the ancient urban laundry on the river), and format (the walk was more of a dialogue format than a traditional guide monologue). And the tour ended on the terrace of the most beautiful riad inside the medina at tea party, playing and tricks with cards, listening to Murad singing and playing the national instrument henbri (centir). And that kind of Chaven seemed even more attractive! Thank guide Murad for this extraordinary adventure!

Highest recommendation for Morad and this tour! Far more than a walking tour, as Morad went above and beyond to share his Amazigh culture, and virtues of welcoming, caring, and gratitude. I had already read much online, but I learned far more from Morad: music, tea rituals, tips for navigating the spaghetti Medina, hidden gems, history, food, and much more. Interesting to learn that not everything online is accurate. Morad truly enjoys the tours, he is extremely knowledgeable, and you can ask any questions along the way. This tour made my visit more meaningful, and it was the highlight of my time in Chefchaouen. Do not hesitate to book this tour with Morad and you will be very glad you did! Shukran Morad

Morad was FANTASTIC! He was a wonderful tour guide, helping us navigate the streets of Chefchaouen and customizing our trip to include some specific shopping requests and very special cultural activities. He was friendly, kind, and very welcoming. We left feeling like we have a new friend in Morocco! If you’re on the fence, book the experience. It’s truly lovely and very memorable.

Morad was an absolutely lovely tour guide! It was truly like exploring Chefchaouen with a friend. He took us to all the major sites and to local areas that were really special. He made sure we had a memorable time and was so very kind. If you’re on the fence— don’t be! Just book it. It was well worth it!

I enjoyed a guided tour of Chefchaouen provided by Morad. He was able to customize it to my interests, shared relevant information, took great pictures of me in many picturesque places of the blue city, which is usually a difficult task for a solo traveler. Morad’s English language skills are very good and he has a pleasant personality; this makes him an effective guide. We ended the tour with a cup of Moroccan mint tea served in his family’s riad and me trying national attire specific to this part of Morocco, making more pictures and lasting memories!

Getting to know Chefchaouen with Morad was the best experience because he showed me beautiful places and their history. He had a special surprise, allowing me to wear traditional clothing and teach me how to prepare tea. I highly recommend this tour!! Love it

I’m a female solo traveller from Australia. I HIGHLY recommend Morad’s Chefchaouen tour. Morad was born in Chefchaouen and is very knowledgeable & passionate about the history & culture of his city. We started the tour with a walk around the Medina, Morad showed me the coolest spots for photographs & had some local ladies dress me in traditional Moroccan women’s dress / outfit! It was so fun! We then took a walk by the river & saw where the ladies of Chefchaouen used to washed their clothes in the river. Morad took me to his family guesthouse where he taught me how to make Moroccan tea & we shared some local treats from the bakery. Throughout the day, Morad taught me some basic Arabic phrases that really helped me around the Medina. Morad made my time in Chefchaouen so special, I now consider Morad a friend & am so thankful I booked his tour to experience the culture of Chefchaouen. I found Morad to be extremely trustworthy, genuine & knowledgeable. 100% recommend - 5 STARS ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We loved the walk through the medina, with all its peculiarities and stories that were revealed to us by our dear guide. The experience was even better for the interaction with local people and culture that was told us so genuinely. A wonderful experience. Thank you very much.
