Full description

The tour will start with you being picked up at 8.00 AM from your accommodation in Fez. After boarding your private vehicle, you will make your way towards Chefchaouen, located in the Rif Mountains near Tangier. Upon arrival, you can marvel at the incredible blue walls that make this town famous. You will have about 4-hours to explore the picturesque small city streets of the medina. As this is a private tour, you have the luxury to decide how you would like to spend your time and there are many activities to choose from. You can discover the local shops and cafes and see the main square known as Plaza Uta el-Hammam. To experience some culture you may wish to head to the Kasbah Museum, the Grand Mosque or the Ethnographic Museum which contains musical instruments, antique weapons, and photographs of the old town. You can also stop off at the Ras Elma river that runs through the old city. For lunch, you can choose to enjoy a delicious meal in the square, perched on the roof terrace which offers panoramic views over Chefchaouen.

Chefchouen is great! I would definitely recommend doing an overnight tour as 4 hours is not enough and the 8 hour round journey is quite long. The bus was good, comfortable and with aircon. Driver was very good and felt safe with him and the driver’s companion was really friendly and helpful! There were 21 of us so we got a tour guide but it’s better to just wander on your own and enjoy the city as the streets are quite narrow so 21 people moving around together was quite a lot. Beautiful place though would really recommend it!

Just WOW! Incredible day trip from Fes! Our guide Soukaina was super nice, accommodative, and very informational! She laughed, smiled, and joked around with us all day! Though it takes a while to get there, this city is worth every minute, and is a great escape from the hustle and bustle of Fes! We could not have had a better tour, even during Ramadan, they are incredibly helpful in finding us some food during the long voyage! Would highly recommend this day trip from Fes, you will not regret it!

Amazing day trip, well organised that Gives you a lot of time to visit the blue pearl. Our driver Chachimo has been great, funny and caring. Confident driver, very well outspoken person that knows when to make jokes and keep the group alive, but as well when the crew needed some rest. Tip top!
