Visiting Blue City is lovely experience Respect the locals and enjoy the beautiful city There are lovely houses decorated for nice pictures Some of the beautiful houses people contribute some money is not mandatory but because the locals use their money to maintain
The trip was nice, although for us too much time was given for exploring after lunch. Others may disagree. The guide was informative and amiable and the blue city is very prettty and charming. Overall it was a good experience that we enjoyed.
Good travel experience, but we were very hot because the car's air conditioning was not working correctly.
From the start of our journey, we found a really nice team regarding the organisation of the tour. People were assigned in different buses, each of them having numerous stops in order to pick up people from their acommodation. Our bus was driven by Abdul and Adil, who always make sure we were comfortablr and happy! If we come back to Morocco, we won't doubt to choose Xauen Tours again!!
Quite a long drive to destination but comfort stop with views of dam/ lake . Driver Houssam was lovely & was very skilful especially with rush hour traffic back in Tangier . Actual tour with local guide in Chefchaouen seemed a rushed hour & I felt he didn’t really connect with our group of 15 . We had 3 hours to explore on our own . Be prepared as it’s very touristy although photogenic .
This was a fantastic adventure! We enjoyed every second of it, and highly recommend! If I could give it 10 stars I would. Abdul was very organized and made the trip entertaining. He made sure everyone (for all languages) understood, and kept the energy up. Nordin Was fantastic as well, and a very safe driver! They both made the drive and day tour amazing, and we are very grateful!!!
It was a fun drive down panoramic road. The blue city was dreamy and its people were welcoming. Abdul and Ahmed were great guide and driver, respectively. I would do it again. Highly recommended..
Great experience. Great driver (younes). Very friendly and accommodating. Loved it. Would definitely recommend
It’s a long day. 10 Hours. But the blue city is worth it! We skipped the guided tour in blue city and did our own thing for the 4 hours! The drivers were great!! Abdul and 1 more!
We were left disappointed with this tour. Our guide was friendly, but unfortunately, not very informative. After the tour ended, we found ourselves having to research the places we visited to learn more about their history and significance. At each stop, we felt rushed to take a few pictures and move on, rather than having the opportunity to truly enjoy and appreciate the experience. Additionally, there were tourist traps everywhere, which took away from the authenticity of the places we were hoping to experience.
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that the experience did not meet your expectations. We appreciate your comments regarding the amount of information provided and the time spent at each stop, and we will take them into consideration to improve our service. We’re also glad to hear that you found our guide friendly. We truly value your feedback and hope to have the opportunity to provide you with a better experience in the future
