Ali and Reda best drivers ever! - Absolutely worth doing again! The guys who accompanied us were really very attentive to every need of the group. They made themselves available right away and gave advice on how to best visit the city, unlike many other drivers who leave tourists in the hands of the local population. Thanks to Ali and Reda!!

A Memorable Family Day in Chefchaouen - My family and I decided to take the Chefchaouen day tour from Fez, and it turned out to be a fantastic choice for a family outing. From start to finish, it was a day filled with memorable experiences.
The drive itself was comfortable, and the kids were excited as they saw the Moroccan countryside passing by. Our guide Ali was not only informative but also great with kids, making the journey even more enjoyable. He shared interesting stories and facts about Morocco, keeping us all engaged.
When we arrived in Chefchaouen, the kids were thrilled to explore the blue-painted streets. It felt like a magical world, and they couldn't get enough of it. We had a leisurely pace, which was perfect for us, especially with young children in tow.
Lunch at the local restaurant was a hit with the whole family. The kids tried couscous and tagine for the first time and loved it. The rooftop setting provided a relaxing atmosphere, and we soaked in the beautiful views.
One of the best parts of the day was shopping for souvenirs as a family in the vibrant market. The kids enjoyed haggling over prices, and we ended up with some unique treasures to take home.
The only downside was that we wished we had more time in Chefchaouen. With kids, it can be a bit challenging to rush through everything. Next time, we'll plan for a longer visit.

A Must-Do Day Trip from Fez - The Chefchaouen day tour from Fez was an absolute highlight of my Moroccan adventure. From the moment we departed, the scenery was breathtaking, and our guide's knowledge of the region added depth to the journey.
Upon arrival in Chefchaouen, I was instantly enchanted by the charming blue streets. It's a photographer's dream come true! The guided tour of the Medina was informative and enjoyable. The town's history and culture came to life as we explored the narrow alleyways.
Lunch at a local restaurant was a definite highlight. The Moroccan cuisine was exceptional, and the rooftop setting offered panoramic views of the blue city and the surrounding mountains.
The only downside was the limited time in Chefchaouen. I could have easily spent an entire day wandering and taking in the atmosphere. Also, be prepared for the hustle and bustle of the market area, where bargaining skills come in handy.

Delightful Day in Chefchaouen - I booked the Chefchaouen day tour from Fez, and it turned out to be a fantastic experience. The journey itself was scenic, with beautiful landscapes along the way. Our guide Ali was knowledgeable and shared interesting insights about Moroccan culture and history throughout the drive.
When we arrived in Chefchaouen, I was immediately captivated by the stunning blue-painted streets and buildings. It felt like stepping into a fairytale town. We had plenty of time to explore the Medina, and I highly recommend taking a leisurely stroll through its narrow alleyways.
The highlight of the trip was undoubtedly the delicious Moroccan lunch we enjoyed at a local restaurant. The flavors were authentic, and I couldn't get enough of the couscous and tagine. It's a must-try!
The only downside was that it felt a bit rushed at times, especially in the market area. I would have loved a bit more time to shop for souvenirs and interact with the locals. Nonetheless, it was an unforgettable day trip, and I would recommend it to anyone visiting Fez.
Some Tips: Wear comfortable shoes for walking, bring cash for souvenirs, and don't forget your camera for those picturesque blue streets!

A Whirlwind of Blue Beauty !! this tour is a must-do. - The Chefchaouen Day Tour from Fez was a whirlwind of colors and culture that left me awe-inspired. Our journey began early in the morning, and the scenic drive through the Moroccan countryside was a treat in itself. The guide was passionate about sharing the stories and history of Chefchaouen, making the trip educational and enjoyable.
The blue city itself was a dream come true. Wandering through the narrow, winding streets was an adventure, and every turn revealed a new shade of blue. The Kasbah Museum was a gem, and I learned so much about the local culture and history. The hike to the Spanish Mosque was definitely a workout, but the view from the top was absolutely worth it – bring a camera with a good zoom lens for those stunning panoramic shots.
Lunch at a local restaurant introduced me to the flavors of Morocco. The tagine was a standout, and I highly recommend trying it. Just be prepared for crowded dining spaces, especially if you're traveling during peak tourist season.
My only regret is that the tour felt a bit rushed at times, and I wished we had more time to explore independently. Nevertheless, I left Chefchaouen with beautiful memories and a newfound love for Morocco's blue gem. If you're in Fez, this tour is a must-do.
Tip: Bargain with the local vendors for souvenirs – it's all part of the experience, and you can find some unique items at great prices.

All things blue! - The trip was a lovely adventure! An upgraded van would make it 5 stars (this one was old and not clean).
