It was our first time ever in Morocco. We booked this trip to go to Chefchaoun. Anas was our driver who was really nice.. welcoming .. knowledgable and speaks multi languages. For the trip : he took us from the hotel on time, on the road he passed by to very nice restaurant for a coffee break and when we reach to our destination he handed over the group to another tour guide born and raised in Chefchaoen “Abdul Nour”. Abdul was super knowledgeable and has strong storytelling style. He is a local and hosting us felt very close to the real culture of the town. He was funny and he was patient with us and he was a very good photographer ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I recommend is trip to everyone in thid app - Saeed, Rauda, Nada from

Fantastic day trip to morrocco great value superb guides from start to finish a real chance to experience some of the real traditional side of morrocan culture food and seeinh how the city works would definately recomend this day trip to anyone who wants to visit north africa thanks for a superb experience

We really liked the tour. The guide is a native of Morocco and explains everything very well, it is seen that he has a passion for what he does. You really know the culture and traditions because it takes you in the middle of local places that are not touristy.

This was one of the best tours that I have ever been on. Alex and Abdul allowed us to see a day in the life of the locals without feeling touristy. I highly recommend this tour to anyone that wants to visit Morraco to take in its rich history.

Chefchaouen is a beautiful town with a very interesting history and lots of lovely stalls to purchase from. The transport and the guide were both excellent. I highly recommend this day trip from Tangier :)
