Additional Information

Chefchaouen, also known as The Blue City, is a serene locale nestled in the Rif Mountains of Morocco. It was established in 1471 by Moulay Ali Ben Moussa as a haven for Spanish refugees. The city’s main allure lies in its simple yet breathtaking beauty, its labyrinthine streets, ancient sections, and the whole blue hue that engulfs it, which makes it an ideal spot for tourism.

Our trip includes notable sights in the city such as the famous Kasbah. Here, we’ll explore the ethnographic museum that’s perceived as the city’s standout cultural monument. Walk through the winding blue streets of Medina and head towards the local bazaar for a first-hand experience of the authentic local tradition.

No visit to Chefchaouen would be complete without savouring some delectable traditional local dishes on one of the city’s finest terraces against the backdrop of a stunning mountain sunset.

  • Please be on time for your 8.00 AM pickup to ensure other passengers are not delayed.
  • It takes around 3to4-hours to drive to Chefchaouen

Was either put on the wrong tour or description is incorrect - My wife and i paid for this tour through trip advisor but susequently were refunded after complaining which we appreciate. If this is the correct tour then its great but make sure you check with the tour leader and the manager. The decription details that this trip is for a max of 6people and you get 5 hours of free time in Chefchaoun. We unfortunatly had 12 so the pick ups took some time aswell as the rest stop. We also had to keep with the group for a local guide that spoke more spanish than english and also repeatedly asked for tips. So in the end only 2 hours of free is provided if you follow the group. We left the local guide after realising something was not quite right, so we got 2.5hours. I believe short 2hour tours in large groups are much cheaper if you search. The good parts of this tour are that you get wifi on the van/bus and the rest stop although high priced is quite clean. If you do book this trip triple check the details with all staff. The tour leader was very nice and spoke good english but she was not able to help with us being on the wrong tour once the bus had left. We initially assmed the 12 peolple pick up was going to drop us at a hub then we would get into a smaller group of 6 however after an hour we were on the highway so it was too late. Maybe an inital intro from the leader would ensure this doesnt happen to anyone else.
