Mohammed was delightful, informative , very knowledgeable and took us for a wander around town off the beaten track . Delicious food tastings , amazing markets and locations , a very local feel . He was charming , polite and professional . Very proud of his city . We had a fun few hours ! Thoroughly recommend to have a feel of the city and get to see the real Tangier . Definitely worth booking and good value for money

Great day tour, get sufficient time in Chefchaouen to explore by self or follow the crowd. Distances are long so drive is long with 1-2 short breaks on the way, in peak season several tourist buses follow the same route so expect crowds.

Our driver was friendly and helpful. We were safe throughout the trip. He made two stops to break up the trip. We enjoyed visiting with some of the locals at the roadside stop to view the reservoir.

I would highly recommend this tour. Excellent value for money: two tours in one! Friendly and helpful staff. Comfortable bus with seatbelts, USB charger points, good WIFI and rain covers if needed.

It is a great tour and Rashid was very friendly. It would be nice to have a little time to shop for souvenirs at the end.
