Day trip to Chefchouen

Osaka was an amazing driver and helpful on educational questions we had along the way. He handed us off to another tour guide while in Chefchouen and he was also great.

We enjoyed the tour to...

We enjoyed the tour to Chefchaouen. Our driver Youssef met us at our hotel and drove us. He is a safe driver and answered all our questions. Our guide Noman met us there and showed us around. He was very knowledgable about the place. The only thing that we did not like was that he stopped to talk to everyone he ran across as we toured which we thought was a little unprofessional. At one point , he was on the phone talking to someone for a few minutes while we had to wait for him to finish. Also, he told us the Kasbah was not worth touring since all the artifact there have been moved to a museum, so I'm not sure why it was listed on the itenary? Other than that we had like the tour.

Great experience, but make dietary restrictions known.

The tour guide was courteous, knowledgeable, and very understanding when our 2 year old was upset and tired. The lunch wasn’t 3 courses, but the restaurant was accommodating when we needed fruit. We ordered the vegetable couscous for my wife who is vegetarian and chicken was buried underneath the couscous.

Morocco - weekend getaway

Dont pass up the chance to visit Chefchaouen if you're visiting Tangier. It's a beautiful town sitting at the base of twin peaks with an interesting history and super friendly people! This visit was the highlight of our quick weekend visit to Morocco from Spain and inspired us to come back again and see more of what Morocco has to offer. Both our guides were amazing and took great care of us and our 2yr old and made sure that we had a great experience overall. I think it was the best day of Taha's life and he still asks about the next time he gets he'll be able to see his kaka :)

Great trip!

Omar was great ! He was a lot of fun and easy to work with. He didn’t mind stopping for pictures. He was passionate about his home country.

Great time!

Driver and guide were excellent. These two made the trip worth taking. Very accommodating, although (lol), the tour description said tour included the beautiful waterfalls of Akchour. I didn't say anything during the tour as I thought maybe I mis-read the description. It is there and we didn't see it. As accommodating as our driver was, I am sure we would have gone there had we mentioned it. He did show us many things in and around the city to make it a full day and interesting.

Enchanting

The place is more than beautiful; it is enchanting. The only problem is the overcrowding and the lack of parking space..

Great guide, Beautiful town and people. Wear appropriate shoes for waterfall

We were picked up by Yuseff, our driver who did a great job getting us to Chefchaouen and back to Tanger. He was a little quiet but nice and accommodating. We were then handed over to our guide in Chefchaouen, named Norman. He was amazing. He has grown up in the town. He knows everyone. He provided history, food tasting, and tried hard to create a great experience. He is very energetic and funny. When it came time to us to go to waterfall, it became apparent that Viator did not describe the waterfall part of the trip very well. Apparently we would need to hike for about 45 minutes to the waterfall. We love hiking. However nowhere on the description did it say we would hike or should wear clothing and shoes appropriate for a hike. I do not think it would of been a strenuous hike but we still did not have the correct shoes on for this part. Norman felt horrible and extended our time in Chefchaouen with more history and amazing views. He did an awesome job.
