Chefchaouen Medina

Chefchaouen, or Chaouen, is a city in the Rif Mountains of northwest Morocco. It’s known for the striking, blue-washed buildings of its old town. Leather and weaving workshops line its steep cobbled lanes. In the shady main square of Place Outa el Hammam is the red-walled Kasbah, a 15th-century fortress and dungeon, and Chefchouen Ethnographic Museum. The octagonal minaret of the Great Mosque rises nearby.
Kasbah Museum
Pass by
The kasbah is a heavily restored walled fortress that now contains a lovely garden, a small ethnographic museum, and an even smaller art gallery. The ethnographic museum contains some fascinating views of old Chefchaouen, including the plaza and the kasbah; the gallery promotes the work of local artists. The views from the kasbah tower over the medina are a delight.

Appalling, to be avoided
Uncomfortable and non-functional vehicle.
The driver could not accelerate... All the climbs were done in 1st gear at 20 km/h. He had to turn off the air conditioning. The driver was constantly looking at his cell phone. We did not feel safe. The trip lasts 8 hours!!
Furthermore, there were 2 of us in the front seat, very cramped without being able to move our legs. 1 break halfway through!!! Phew!! And the heat!!
Regarding the guide, it was difficult to understand her.
Fortunately, Chefchaouen is magnificent.
I do not recommend this excursion organized by this agency.

Bonjour, Nous tenons à apporter quelques précisions factuelles suite à votre commentaire afin d'éclairer les futurs voyageurs. Vous étiez la seule personne du groupe à exprimer un mécontentement, alors que les autres participants du même véhicule nous ont reconfirmé avoir pleinement apprécié leur excursion sans le moindre problème. Il est d'autant plus surprenant que vous n'ayez rien signalé le jour même pendant l'excursion, ce qui nous aurait permis d'intervenir immédiatement. La route de Fès à Chefchaouen traverse des zones escarpées, ce qui exige une conduite prudente et une vitesse adaptée dans les montées pour la sécurité de tous, et votre installation à l'avant s'est faite à votre demande expresse. Bien que l'ensemble des autres clients ait été totalement satisfait, nous avons fait preuve de bonne foi en vous proposant une solution commerciale amiable, que vous avez refusée, ce qui nous laisse dubitatifs quant à la démarche.

Not great
I was a bit disappointed in this tour. I very much appreciate that the tour manager allowed us to go one way and take our luggage with us so that we got a hotel in Chefchauoun and stayed there for the night. I actually recommend doing that. Other than that, the driver was late picking us up, the transportation was okay but not overly, comfortable, and the tour guide left a lot to be desired. He was a very character filled older gentleman and he was very funny. We wandered through the streets after wasting 45 minutes waiting for another tour group to meet up with us. We learned nothing but enjoyed some of his jokes. I think it's probably likely one could do Chefchaouen on on their own although I would not say that about other medinas in morocco.

Good trip, but only 4 hours in Chefchaouen
Well organized trip and good value for money. Pick up and drop off was smooth. The guide was very friendly and kept checking in on everyone.
Bear in mind the trip to chefchaouen is only 4 hours long which may be enough for some people but not for others. For us it was enough as it was too hot to explore further. But on a good day with nice weather I would have wanted to stay for longer.
Operator response
Thanks so much for the feedback and for highlighting our friendly team! It’s great to know that the pickup and organization ran smoothly for you. Since the drive from Fez takes a few hours, our tour provides around 4 hours in the Blue City, which we find is a great sweet spot, especially on hot days! We really appreciate your review and hope to welcome you back again.

Several tours with this company, more expensive than other companies and in some cases bad tours
So my review is not only for the Chefchouen tour but all the other tours that I took with this company. Basically when I booked the Chefchouen tour one of the representative of this company reached out to me and asked me where else I am planning to visit in Morocco and once I told them my plans they sold me bunch of other tours, most of the tours was sold in more expensive prices then they are supposed to be even after selling me directly without any agency in between, so here is a breakdown and the reviews of each of the tours.
- Chefchouen: this was a fun tour, our driver was very interactive and we had a great group and all of us became friends. Chefchouen itself is very touristy mountain town, no point in staying there for a night and day trip from fez or Tanger should be perfect, I would give this tour a 4 star.
- Tanger half day tour : This tour cost $60 which was a little more than what it should be. The tour was good, the driver didn’t showed the American legation museum and grand socco which was in the list. I would rate it a 3.5 star.
- 3 day desert tour from Fez to Marrakesh : This was a good tour but lots of driving. There was only stop in atlas mountain, in the tour description it said there will be several stops. Also there were lots of good scenic points in the Atlas Mountains and no stops was given. I would give this tour a 3.5 star.
- Dinner and culture show in Fes : This one costed $45, again overpriced. The dinner and show was good with pick up and drop off. 4 star.
- 1 day Marrakesh sightseeing : This was the worst of all the tour and I will give a 1 star, it costed $100. You will get the same tour in $30. The driver was not in time, have, not at all guided, he was just driving around it was an absolutely waste of time. At the second half of the day a guide showed up and started showing me the Medina which I can do it by myself, nothing that was planned he was not following until I insisted him to.
The communication is good from the company and they don’t do any hotel pick up and drop off which they mentioned in the description.
Operator response
Thank you for your feedback regarding your multiple experiences with us. We are glad you enjoyed our responsive communication, your group trip to Chefchaouen, and the desert journey. To clarify for future guests, vehicles cannot physically enter the narrow, pedestrian-only Riad streets, which is why alternative nearby pickup points are designated. Regarding the Marrakech tour, we did offer a full refund and cancellation due to a last-minute guide emergency, but we respected your choice to move forward with the alternative arrangements. Our direct pricing is always fully transparent prior to booking. We appreciate your journey with us across Morocco and wish you safe future travels.

Nice day trip
We were picked up in the morning around 8am from Fez and arrived at Chefchaouen around noon. The drive is long but goes through lovely mountain scenery. The guide was nice and helped give us a high-level overview of the city. We then explored the city which was very picturesque and cool before heading back at 4pm. Overall the experience was as advertised and very enjoyable.
Operator response

The van was old and...
The van was old and extremely uncomfortable, with no air conditioning, which made the journey exhausting.
More concerning, the driver was using WhatsApp while driving, which felt unsafe and unprofessional.
Once we arrived in Chefchaouen, the experience didn’t improve. The tour guide provided little to no information about the destination and did not speak English, making it difficult to understand anything or engage with the tour.
Overall, I would not recommend this tour due to the poor conditions, lack of safety and bad guide.
Operator response
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We take passenger safety and comfort incredibly seriously, and we want to assure you and future travelers that the behavior you described regarding phone use is strictly against our policy. Following this trip in May, we took immediate, decisive action and terminated our relationship with that driver. We also sincerely apologize for the uncomfortable condition of the van and the communication gaps with the guide on that day. Thank you for helping us enforce the high standards our guests deserve.

Great day spent in Chefchaouen. The appointment was very close to our Riad and the driver was on time. The ride was cahotic because the road was in poor condition. The rather muscular driving of the driver didn't help. The excursion is worth it

The excursion to Fes was great. Our guide Muha Buzga was right on time and took us safely on our drive. Our group spoked different languages but that wasn’t a problem him.

The road journey from Fez...
The road journey from Fez to Chefchaouen is very beautiful. We had a good experience on this trip. The only thing we had a bit of trouble with on the way back was the transport car's AC, which wasn't working well. The car was pretty hot for the entire 4 hours of the journey and that made our return pretty troubled.
Operator response
Thank you for taking the time to share your review! We are so glad you enjoyed the beautiful scenery on the journey from Fez to Chefchaouen and had a good experience overall. However, we sincerely apologize for the discomfort you experienced with the AC on the return drive, especially as the spring weather is warming up. Our vehicles are regularly inspected, but we have immediately sent this car to our maintenance team to check and fix the climate control system before the summer heat. Thank you for bringing this to our attention, and safe travels!
