I would give the driver, Khaled, 5 stars.
The 3 stars is for the guide, Mustafa. I asked him to speak in English so my kids could understand and he did not. Even in Arabic, he did not give us much history. Most of the tour was him pushing us into stores owned by his associates. He also pushed us into eating at a restaurant we did not want and it was terrible. My pastilla was frozen in the middle and the waiter forgot to put it in so it came to the table after everyone else had eaten. The tickets were expensive by Moroccan standards and I don’t mind paying but I should not be pressured to shop. It ruined my experience. It’s a shame because chefchouen is lovely and this guide really soured the experience. You’re better off just hiring a taxi without a guide.
