A city of blue - stunning
The drive through the Rif mountains was spectacular enough, but to arrive in this city in the hills, covered in the glorious colors of blue took my breath away. A village filled with kitties, spices, fruit and warm and friendly people made the day a 10+. Our driver was safe and courteous, out tour guide funny and informative. This part of the "world" surpassed my expectations.

5 stars
I was afraid to travel alone but everything went very well. I went in a super comfortable van with wifi and air conditioning, with a very friendly and helpful driver (Assaad). The trip to Chefchaouen is very worthwhile and very safe, the guide Najeed was fantastic, he had enormous knowledge. It was all worth it, it was all five stars.
