Unprofessional driver ruins trip to Chefchaouen

Ginetta_C, Jul 2024

The tour vehicle was an old, beaten-up minivan that sounded and rode like a tin can and the driver, Simo, was unprofessional beginning to end. He never introduced himself, nor did he make an effort to fill us in on the plan for what should have been a four hour road trip. After picking up the other 6 passengers - two of whom were forced to sit in the front seats crowded against Simo - and about an hour into the trip, we were stopped by the gendarmes at what would turn out to be one of the many checkpoints on the road that day. This would have been fine and pro forma, except that Simo couldn't find the documents they requested in the messy storage area above the windshield so we were forced to pull over until it finally occurred to him to check the driver-side visor. That began what would become a 45 minute wait on the side of the road while he went to speak with them without filling us in at all on what was going on. Having lost nearly an hour, we weren't in the mood to stop again at the tourist-trap scenic overlook without restrooms that he pulled into 15 minutes later, and asked him to continue on to a rest area, which he did so that we could all go to the bathroom at the next service station. Less than an hour later, he stopped again, this time pulling into a motel and restaurant telling us it was another bathroom break. By this point it was 11:45am, 3 hours and 45 minutes from when he picked us up, and we were less halfway to Chefchaouen, so when we came out of the bathroom, we found him seated at a table getting ready to eat we were very confused and asked him what he was doing. He replied that he had to eat breakfast and would only be another 15 minutes. Not only were all of us surprised by this since he did not in any way explain what was going on, but also he actually took 30 minutes, during which time his 8 passengers wandered around uncertain about what to do. He also responded loudly and angrily that he was entitled to take a 30 minute break for every 4 hours he worked when I asked him how much longer we would have to wait. He clearly did not care one iota about the fact that he left his 8 passengers - some of whom would have also grabbed a bite to eat if we had known what was going on - waiting and further delayed our arrival to our destination. In the end, we did not arrive at Chefchaouen until nearly 2pm, 6 hours after being picked up, when the typical travel time is 4 1/2 hours. And by the time we arrived, we were all famished and had to spend the first hour of our 3 hour visit to the blue city eating a late, hurried lunch at the first place we found. It also meant that we didn't leave Chefchaouen to return to Fes until 5:30 in order to get enough time in to see the city. Although the ride back was smoother in that we didn't get stopped again, we didn't arrive in Fes until 10pm, two hours later than we should have, and too late for most of us to get dinner. Luckily, I was able to contact our riad and they prepared sandwiches for us, otherwise we would have had to wait until breakfast to get some food. All in all, this a disappointingly unpleasant journey with a very unprofessional driver.

Highly recommended service

Very organized transportation service, we arrived at the programmed hour and had enough time to explore and enjoyed this charming city.

Don’t waste your time in Chefchaouen

Lovely city, way too touristy for me. Some nice pictures but your didn’t provide any background info.

Nice activity despite the very long transport (4h round trip and 4h return for 4h visit in the city). We had a guide on site (even if we hadn’t paid for it) who gave us information about the city as well as a recommendation for an authentic restaurant for dinner. The city is pretty, but contains no cultural attractions and is very touristy. It is better to ask yourself whether the transport time is worth the few beautiful photos you can take there. The bus was relatively comfortable.
