It was a great experience, the trip was well organized and on time. We had some problem with the seat in the van, which made us a bit uncomfortable but later it was solved. Great experience and wonderful guide Omar! Thank you.
The company were very professional. They communicated very well ahead of the trip. The driver, Salah, was great and the coordinator, Abdelhadi, spoke very good English and explained everything clearly. It's a 4 hour drive to Chefchaouen, which includes one refreshment break halfway. There were only 4 of us on the bus on the way there. When we got to Chefchaouen they had arranged for a local guide. He was very knowledgeable and gave us a tour for an hour and half (booked for an hour but went above and beyond). We had 4 hours in total in Chefchaouen, so the 2 and a half hours after the guided tour was the perfect amount of time to independently walk round and grab some lunch. We spent some of our time in the Kasbah which was good. Great views from the tower. We also went up to the waterfall. The waterfall itself isn't anything amazing but the walk up goes through lots of alleys and stalls. No hard selling. It felt very relaxed. Chefchaouen itself lives up to expectations. A beautiful place and well worth a visit. On the return journey, the bus was nearly full as the company offer a transfer service to Fes - which makes perfect sense to maximise use of their journey. The return took a bit longer due to traffic but stopped at the same place at the halfway point for a break. Overall, a great day out. Would thoroughly recommend.
it was an amazing experience abdelhadi and salah was really friendly 🙏
The visit went very well! They came to pick us up at the blue door, very punctual. The trip to Chefchaouen lasts 4 hours with an intermediate stop, it doesn't feel long, the route is beautiful. Then the visit with the guide was good, and the free time to "get lost" in those little streets was fabulous! Highly recommended!
Easy pick up etc and the right amount of time on the trip. A bit of information about the town would have been nice. The local ‘guide’ that you can use (an older gentleman) didn’t really give much information about the town
For the round-trip transportation to Fes, super helpful and kind. They took care of all the logistics and gave us precise and clear information, without any delay or problem.
The visit to Chefchaouen is worth it. The journey is long, but the minibus that took us was comfortable, with air conditioning, and Omar, our guide, was very kind and explained many things to us! When we arrived, we took a 1-hour tour with a local guide.
We had a great trip to Chefchaouen with Omar and our driver Mahfoud. The communication prior was fantastic so we knew exactly where to be for pick up. Mahfoud and Omar were super lovely and checked in with us along the journey. Loved that Omar let me hotspot his internet the whole journey!! Recommend this trip.
Omar and Mahfoud have been wonderful on the tour of Chefchaouen, Omar speaks Spanish very well and makes the excursion enjoyable and perfect in every way Recommended
I have to commend the guide, Abdelhadi, and driver, Salah, for a wonderful experience on the Fès to Chefchaouen tour! Pick up and drop off were smooth. The well timed stops driving to and back from Chefchaouen made the 4 hours drive feel quick. I appreciated the engagement by Abdelhadi. I am glad I decided on this tour, Chefchaouen is a beautiful place. I recommend this tour package and the guide/driver team!!
