Disappointment for this gem
Very erratic driving, borderline worrying. Chefchaouen not seen in its entirety. It's a good thing I've already been here. But what a shame for my friends. Quick guide and, not very interesting.

Reliable and friendly transportation
Got a ride from Muha Buzga. He was on time, very friendly and overall great to be around. He made the 4 hour journey very enjoyable. He was a wealth of information, giving us the background of all the places as we passed by. He was very patient when we needed to stop along the way and went out of his way to return my hotel room key. 10/10 will book again.
Operator response
Thank you so much for the 10/10 review! We are thrilled to hear that your journey to Chefchaouen was so enjoyable. Muha was delighted to read your kind words, he always goes the extra mile for our guests! We truly appreciate your recommendation and look forward to welcoming you back again!

Chefchaouen / Bleu/ Driss ... What else...
Very nice day and experiences, lots of time to chat on the road with our driver, good feeling, humor and patience. We don't regret it. Thank you very much Driss. 👍🏻. I recommend experience. The city is very beautiful. Less tumult than Fes. Surprising medina of color and discoveries. Be careful that the streets are steep, as on Fes. We will come back for another excursion. 👏🏻

Lovely but long bumpy drive!
You will get picked up near your hotel at arround 8. It takes about 4 hours to Chefchaouen, so there is a gas station/ cafe/toilet stop half way. The road to Chefchaouen is a little bumpy at times, very up and down through the mountains. It is very beautiful- but if you have motion sickness be prepared. Chefchaouen is very pretty (and as blue as the pictures). Included in the price is a 1hr guided tour. I personally didnt go on it, as I was hungry and wanted to get food. We had 3-4 hours free time after the guided tour, then back to the mini bus. I do want to note that on the day we went, there was a flash flood on the road, so the drive was longer than expected as we had to find another way. Our tour guide, Mahfood, and driver, Abdelhadi, rerouted the bus with ease, and so we arrived before the other tours, which meant we had more free time! Thank you both!
Operator response
Thank you so much for sharing such a detailed and helpful review! We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the journey to Chefchaouen and appreciated the beauty of the mountain road along the way. Your tip about motion sickness is very useful for future travelers. We’re especially happy to hear that, despite the unexpected flash flood, Mahfood and Abdelhadi handled the situation professionally and smoothly, rerouting the bus so you arrived even earlier and enjoyed extra free time. That’s exactly the level of care and flexibility we strive to provide. Thank you again for your kind words, and we hope to welcome you back for another memorable experience in Morocco!

Magical City
Chefchouen is a beautiful and magical city that is full of history. The city is literally blue. Our tour guide Abdul who is a native of the city is s knowledgeable and his narration is supported by data/facts. The road to Chefchouen is winding and at that time, slippery due to the rains. We had to request our driver to slowdown a bit and avoid overtaking.
