From Tangier: Special Day Trip to Chefchaouen and Tetouan

I think a lot of the experience depends on the person you get as your tour guide and driver. On tour with 6 people, our driver Omar was awesome and I really enjoyed the day with him 5/5. Our English guide in Chefchauen was very bad. I think his name was Youseff. It took two hours of him mostly on his cell phone and then giving a little speech and mostly saying “here is an instagram spot for photos.” Not much in terms of learning about the town history or culture. Others on the tour who had different guides said they had an excellent experience with there guide. Tetouan guide Said (likely improper spelling) was awesome and really enjoyed learning about the different neighborhoods. This is a long day so be prepared!!

Our driver Nizar was incredible as was our guide in Chefchaouen, Norman. We had so much fun despite the torrential rain. The food was fantastic, the scenery amazing and the people were very kind. I would highly recommend this tour. Booking was a breeze, they contacted us to confirm pickup location. The 'van' was comfortable and spacious. It was Ramadan so we tried to be respectful regarding food and drink. Our time in Tetouan was slightly rushed however, we were so waterlogged from the day I think our guide took the cue and let us get on our way. As the markets were closing the experience wasn't as full as I suspect it normally is. I would recommend checking for expected closures. Take good walking shoes and an adventurous spirit. It is worth it.

This was INCREDIBLE! Chefchauen is exactly as it was pictured! The guide(s) were excellent! Youssef was honestly the best driver I’ve had since coming. The guide, although I could not catch his name was extremely knowledgeable and very helpful. Both guide and Youssef were from Chefchauen. It was the perfect trip for those must have pics! Bring cash (local) and if you don’t know how to haggle, LEARN! Seriously a must do if you’re coming to N Morocco!
