This cascade is very handy. It keeps things cool and provides heaps of running water for the women of the town to come to the communal laundry to go the family wash. it provides an important source not just of H2O but social interaction for the women whose lives seem to be somewhat proscribed and cloistered. No need to make a special point of visiting it as you will just come across it while wandering around the hilly little town. Mostrar menos
Nice place to stop and grab a coffee or mint tea and people watch while taking a break. Beautiful fountain and Kasbah as a backdrop add to the charm of the square.
The visit of the museum is not included in the tour but the client can visit it in his free time while visiting the Medina
Constructed in the 15th century, Chefchaouen’s Grande Mosque was built on the orders of Moulay Mohamed Ben Ali Ben Rachid, the son of the city’s founder. It features an octagonal minaret, which is somewhat unusual when compared to the many square minarets that generally tower over the nation’s myriad mosques. The shape was influenced by Andalusian styles, brought to the country by Muslims from Spain. Built from stone, the shades of brown and beige are juxtaposed against the nearby blue and white buildings. Admiring the mosque is among the top things to do in the city.
From here you can enjoy a panoramic view of the whole city, and one of the best sunsets of Morocco.

This tour is not what the pictures and descriptions say. Once we met our guide at Akchour we were told the waterfall that we wanted to see was dry and that there were virtually no monkeys at this time of year. Our tour guide was flat out rude and walked far ahead of us on his phone the whole time. A direct quote from our tour guide “I am not here for a chat, you paid for a tour not a chat.” My daughter fell in the rocks and cut her hand badly. When I asked for a band aid for her he told me couldn’t find one. He never looked for one, was just in his phone and then said no. I would absolutely bot do this tour again with this tour group. It was so bad that for the second part of the tour in Chefchaouen we told the guide that we were all set and didn’t want a tour. My family and I were not going to be lead around with someone at top speed who wasn’t going to talk to us and that clearly didn’t like us. His disdain for us was real. He wrecked one of the four days that we had in Morocco. The best part of our day and the best part of our tour was the driver. He was incredibly nice and respectful of us. He made our day. The tour guide told us not to talk to the driver and that he had no power. I am still shaking my head over this tour and day. Additionally we were told by all tour guides in Morocco including the owner of our Riad that the tour was over priced by almost $150 US dollars. Last but not least, when we told the tour guide that we would not continue with him in Chefchaouen he directly said “I don’t care, you are not my first English tour and you will not be my last.” I would really think about that comment before booking this tour. I will never book with this group again.
Thank you for sharing your feedback, and we are truly sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations. At Chefchaouen Adventures, we are committed to providing our guests with enriching, respectful, and well-organized private tours. What you described is deeply concerning and completely out of alignment with the standards we hold for our guides and team. We are currently investigating this matter internally, and appropriate action will be taken. We want to be very clear that rudeness, lack of support, and any form of unprofessional behavior are not tolerated within our agency. Every guide who works with us is expected to offer assistance, engage respectfully with guests, and prioritize safety. Regarding the seasonal nature of Akchour and the wildlife, we understand the disappointment. While nature can sometimes be unpredictable. We're genuinely disheartened to learn that the experience left such a negative impression during your limited time in Morocco. However, we’re glad to hear that our driver left a positive impact on your day. We will ensure he is recognized for his respectful and kind conduct. Lastly, on the topic of pricing, we always aim to provide fair and transparent rates for private, full-day experiences that include long-distance transfers, fuel, coordination, and staffing.
Mourad was an awesome guide. We enjoyed the walk around the Medina and we had a great time on the hike.
Mohammad was really friendly and excellent photographer who took fantastic photos of our trip. He spoke fluent English and helped us have a great time. The length of the trip could have been slightly shorter or better utilised especially at Akchour to have the maximum experience in the trip.
we contacted the company one day before, and they did a great job arranging everything for us. Mohamed was a great guide, he know everything about the city and the environnement. He answered all our questions. The driver was very Professional and respectful. We really recommend this company for your tours in Tangier, chechaouen and arround. THANK YOU !!
