What people are saying about Chefchaouen

Got picked up in the morning from our Riad, the transport was a comfortable minibus with charging ports. We had 3 stops along the way which helped break the journey up and one stop on the way back. The leader of the group (Souka) was amazing! Really helpful and welcoming. We booked a walking tour of Fes with her of the back of how much we enjoyed this tour! The local tour guide in the blue city was really good also, very knowledgeable and showed us the local main sites. We then had a couple of hours to ourselves to venture off and explore, it’s a small town so easy to manoeuvre around even without internet. Overall great experience, would definitely recommend if you have a day to spare on your trip.

The best trip to explore this beautiful yet small blue city. Our guide Souka "the cheerful lady" helped us with all the information and guided us throughout the tour. The time was enough so you don't have to spend a whole night. Hussein our driver passed me the control of speakers and we had our own DJ night while returning. One of the best short trips you can do. Definitely do it.

We had an amazing experience with the best tour guide Souka was amazing, we couldn’t ask for a better time! The trip was well organized and really worth it. I highly recommend this to anyone going for a day trip to Chefchouan to book this tour with Souka. At Chefcouan, there will be also a local tour guide who was excellent - couldn’t ask for a better experience

The trip was amazing, really interesting and helpful guide. The city was beautiful and it was enough time to spend there. The bus was comfortable with Wi-Fi. We really enjoyed our time.

This excursion is definitely worth it, the blue city is amazing!! Souka our guide was top, very nice, she gave us a lot of explanations and taught us some TOP Arabic words!
