Day Trip to Chefchaouen the blue city

I came in the low season and booked in 12 hours before leaving so he didn’t know I had a booking the next day. I didn’t see a driver so I called him and he booked me a private driver for that day. He went above and beyond to accommodate me.

Great experience touring the blue city; the town is just the right size for a walking tour. We were able to visit a wide variety of streets and pathways through the town. Each area held a large variety of shades of blue painted on the walls, homes , shops, steps and entryways. The town has a quaint look and we were guided along the path up the hill past bakeries, clothing shops, restaurants and cafes. We even walked along the waterfalls carrying fresh water from the mountains. There is an outdoor clothes washing area complete with washboards along the waterfall! Our guide gave us both historical data on the town and info re customs and culture of the area. The tour was very informative and enjoyable. We had time to stop for pictures along the way. I highly recommend this opportunity to see and experience this charming and beautiful city.

Chefchaouen is a beatiful city! The tour was very interesting and we explored all around the old Medina. Lots of good information and great photo ops. At the end we were treated to traditional mint tea at the tour guides home. :) Highly recommend!

We loved the magical blue city and Sami made it wonderful for our group. His knowledge of the city and region helped us feel safe and comfortable. Sami is Morocci but also speaks excellent English. He helped bridge the cultural gap for us and was always at our side to translate when needed.

Our tour guide Sami set up a wonderful experience for our group. He knows Chefchouen and the area thoroughly and made sure we were all comfortable. We lodged at a riad in the Médina. Sami made sure we never were lost and always helped us when we needed Arabic translation with meals or vendors.

The man who organised the trip is totally immoral and took advantage of a local taxi man. He was half an hour late and drove us 50 metres down the road and let a local driver take us to Chefchaouen. We found out later that he had promised the taxi driver that we’d pay him in cash after the trip. Then as we were dropped off the taxi driver demanded payment. We ran into the local hotel because we were scared that we were going to get hurt. The tour operator told us to pay the taxi driver another 600 dirham which is roughly €60 euros. Had we given in to his demands, this tour operator would still be scamming people of twice the price Viator asks. We were then taken to the police station after curfew and we had to give our passport information and interrogated by Moroccan police in a foreign language. We ended up getting back to the Riad 2.5hrs later and we had to skip dinner because it was after curfew by this time. It was an overall unpleasant and dangerous experience and we were very lucky we didn’t get hurt. I find it astonishing that Viator would not properly check who they employ and let someone scam tourists like this. I expect a full refund and never let this man work for you again.

Excellent service pick up & drop off to the hotel. Everything was perfectly on time, I highly recommend this tour. Note the tour guide is not included, you'll have 4 full hours to wonder into Chefchaouen. We were on our way back at 5pm and got to Fes by 9pm.

We had a comfortable van ride to Chefchaouen from our hotel in Fez, you can pay a little additional for a 5 seater van instead of a bus, I assume it’s more comfy. Very nice stroll around the beautiful blue city! Our guide Sayid was helpful in taking us around and giving us bits of information now and then. We also enjoyed 2-hours free time to walk around on our own.

The tour was great! Abdul's 9-seater car was very comfortable. The guide was very polite and offered us to rest during the journey everything we would need. He also offered us all the necessary help on Chefchaouen. I see that other travelers think that the roads in Morocco are the same as in northern Europe, perhaps people still do not know the abuse that the world superpowers do on less fortunate countries and that means they do not have the same infrastructure ... therefore they do not understand that there are bumps in the roads ... if you are looking for an 8-lane highway this is not your place, but if you are looking for a complete and pleasant excursion do not hesitate to hire it. Abdul carries a modern and really comfortable vehicle. The overall experience was a 10/10.

Highly recommend a day trip to Chefchaouen. Sami was a very friendly and reliable driver! He arrived on time, we got Moroccan tea, and we spent a lovely afternoon in Chefchaouen. We got to listen to Moroccan music and stop along the way to take photos and learn about the sights.
