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.

This is probably the best option how to get to Chefchaouen from Fez if you don't want to rent a car. As written before, it's basically just a transfer with brief introduction to history of the city. I didn't mind exploring city on my own. The only disadvantage is that you've got only 3.5 hours for it, wish we would have at least 4 or more so we could just stroll around and enjoy the vibe. I would book again.

The collection has been very punctual, I had a problem with the address of my accommodation and they helped me a lot to facilitate the collection. Although the trip is long about 3 hours but it is worth it. We were a total of 4 people so there was no guide in the city visit, the service was basically a transfer, the driver was very friendly, everything was correct.

Hassan was my driver - he was super friendly and very knowledgeable. He spoke fluent English and was able to answer all of my questions. The SUV I was picked up in was very luxurious, with air conditioning which is a MUST for the 4-hour trip. In Chefchaouen, it felt a bit rushed, so it was difficult to experience the full city, but I took some great pictures, and got an overall sense of the area. Chefchaouen was great, Hassan was great, I would definitely recommend.
