We went on the tour with the FancyTours-Morocco tour operators. Our driver was Elghali and he was friendly and very conscientious of our welfare.
We had an early start and Elghali stopped for coffee/breakfast and made sure we were fine. We made stops at view points to take photographs of the beautiful landscape. Elghali was extremely kind and gave us many bottles of water.
The country side was green and boasted large Olive Groves, Grape Vineyards, Peach and Apple Orchards.
We spent 3 hours in Chefchaouen before our trip back. It’s an interesting and picturesque city because of the colour theme. The Medina with the blue colour theme can take a few hours to explore and the shopping is oriented towards tourists. The Public washrooms (WC) at the main square are spotlessly clean. For lunch we had many restaurant choices and these were also situated around the main square.
It is a long drive of about 3.5 hours from Fez. We were pretty quiet, listened to Moroccan music and then dozed most of the trip back. Drive from Tangier is around 2 hours and might be a better option if you are visiting Tangier.
