Highlights

Fes - Your driver will pick you up at your accommodation for an early morning departure to Chefchaouen.
Barrage Sidi Chahed - Enroute to Chefchaouen, you will pass an amazing viewpoint where the Sidi Chahed Dam has created a massive reservoir in the Mikkes Valley. You can stop for photos or to get a glass of fresh-squeezed orange juice, and see the local souvenirs and trinkets for sale.
Laghdir - Olive groves and olive oil: As you get closer to Chefchaouen, you will pass through the olive groves after the town of Laghdir. You will see many places selling olive oil. Feel free to ask your driver to stop if you would like to purchase some freshly-pressed olive oil.
Chefchaouen - Chefchaouen, the beautiful Blue City, is known for its traditional buildings. Here you can enjoy a walk to explore the white and blue painted walls of the medina and the markets that offer unique local handicrafts. Another popular spot is the casbah in the center of the old town with its lush gardens. There is a museum that’s well worth a visit, with an impressive collection of ancient weapons, historic photographs of the ancient city, and valuable textiles. Chefchaouen is also a fantastic destination for photography with its wonderful views of the Rif Mountains. You will have time for lunch in a local restaurant, which you can pick yourself or ask your guide for a recommendation.
Ras El Maa Waterfall - From the city center, it is a short walk to the scenic Ras El Maa Waterfall. The waterfall is located right at the end of a city street. There you will see local women who bring their wool carpets to wash under the strong water pressure of the falls. You will also see vendors squeezing fresh orange juice, if you would like to have a refreshing treat. You can also take a fairly strenuous climb up the hill to a small mosque with spectacular panoramic views of the Blue City.
Fes - Once you are ready to leave the Blue City, your driver will meet you at an appointed spot and take you back to your accommodation in Fes.

Very nice - Really nice experience. Worth a visit the only downside is that there are a lot of cats and there is a smell of pee everywhere

Good daytrip from Fez to Chefchaouen - A great way to visit Chefchaouen on a daytrip without the fuss. Communication was easy with the company beforehand. They arranged a pick up from my hotel even though I had only booked the night before. We had a brief, 10 minute stop halfway through the journey at a rest area each way. Note that the trip doesn’t include a guided tour of Chefchaouen, but I preferred that because it allowed me to explore the town on my own.
