This 2 hour tour is an excellent way to see the city and be informed of its history, culture and beauty. The guide, Mohammed, was excellent. He was friendly, engaging, funny and he knew the city well. I would highly recommend his services. .

Mohamed was an absolutely incredible Tourguide with an immense depth of knowledge of not only Chefchaouen but Morocco as a whole. He was very engaging and kind - he did a great job of providing information without overwhelming

Chefchaouen Medina tour

Bernd_S, Mar 2026
Fouad was a great tour guide! He was very knowledgeable and informative. We throughly enjoyed our tour of the Medina. We would recommend this tour to anyone that would like a more personalized approach.

Informative Tour, BUT …

Cherie_K, Mar 2026
My guide was nice and all, showed me the various streets, the landmarks and pinpoints to find my Riad, the big square and small square, the Spanish mosque and provided historical information and language explanations, and showed me the ‘instagrammer’ spots, etc. This I appreciated very very much. But I found my kindness and trust be taken advantage of in the sense that I felt like this was really about me spending money in the focal points for this guide. The Argan oil vendor, the Art vendor and the Carpet vendor. Good naturedly, I spent a little at each place, and even although they say it’s not obligatory, and ‘if you want’, those feel like empty words as you find yourself lured in and hearing similar spiels about how this is the best and ‘I want to prevent you from buying elsewhere where it is not the best quality’, and when you stop at a scarf and they push for a carpet and stress the importance of understanding the quality of their product when you didn’t intend on that money to spend because you were negotiated to the ground at a previous city! Enough. I wanted a tour of the Blue City, I wanted an informative, navigational tour only. You wanna suggest some stores to check out AFTER the tour, by all means, but don’t provide a tour with a hidden agenda. It’s just not good business.

Response from Host, Mar 2026

Thank you very much for taking the time to share your detailed feedback. We’re truly glad to hear that you enjoyed the informative and navigational aspects of your tour, and that your guide helped you discover Chefchaouen’s streets, landmarks, and history, that is always our main goal. At the same time, we sincerely appreciate your honest comments regarding the shopping stops. We understand how this part of the experience may have felt uncomfortable or not aligned with your expectations. Please allow us to clarify that our intention is never to pressure our guests into making purchases. The visits to local artisan shops are meant to showcase traditional craftsmanship and give travelers insight into local culture, with no obligation to buy. That said, your feedback is very important to us. We recognize that this approach may not suit every traveler, especially those who prefer a purely informational tour without commercial stops. We will take your comments into account and reinforce with our guides the importance of clearly communicating that these visits are entirely optional and of respecting each guest’s preferences more carefully. We truly value your trust and are sorry that this aspect affected your overall experience. Thank you again for highlighting both the positives and the areas where we can improve.

Kevin_R, Mar 2026
From my teen: As a 14 year old, I thought that the blue city was very beautiful, and was an immersive tour no matter what age. The locals were all very kind, and wanted to make sure you were smiling and having a good time. I would definitely go to the city again if I could!

Experience Chefchouen

Risa_M, Feb 2026
A tour of Chefchouen isn't needed to be able to enjoy the experience of being there. However, if you want to know the history, the culture, and what makes Chefchouen special, this tour will give you that and more.

Very much enjoyable!

Nazam_S, Dec 2025

Blue City Private Walking Tour was Amazing

Mark_R, Sep 2025
We had a great tour from a wonderful guide, Fouad, who was very friendly and knowledgeable. We had another couple traveling with us and we all had a great experience. Fouad’s sense of options based on our questions was very natural and appreciated. We learned a lot and saw a lot and experienced a lot with a wonderful and gracious guide who was also a delight to get to know.

Abdennour gave us a great tour!

Ranjit_P, May 2025
Abdennour is a local 12th generation resident of Chefchaouen. He gave us a great tour experience, adjusting his pace to suit our needs. He had a very comprehensive history of the town, the area and the country, and also a ton of info from his own life there. The town is hilly so be prepared to go uphill and downhill.

Christine_N, May 2025
Although there was a slight mix-up with the start time, our guide showed up right on time and absolutely delivered one of the best tours we’ve experienced. From beginning to end, he was engaged, enthusiastic, and genuinely passionate about sharing the history and spirit of Chefchaouen. His deep knowledge of the town — past and present — combined with a great sense of humor and storytelling, made the walk through the blue city both informative and fun. What stood out most was how personal the tour felt. Knowing that his family has lived in Chefchaouen for generations added real depth and authenticity to the experience. A top-notch guide we won’t forget.

Natalie_S, Mar 2025
What a great tour! Walking around with Mohammed felt like walking around with an old friend. He has a lot of knowledge not only about the history of Chefchaouen, but also the surrounding nature. He even took time out of his day on Eid to provide this tour. Would recommend him to anyone!

A Perfect Historical & Cultural Tour

Don_W, Mar 2025
We were interested in the history and culture of the city, not deals in the shops. Abdul provided us the perfect experience and we learned so much about Chefchaoun and its history. If you can, go with this company and request Abdul.
