Our driver Iiyas was a great driver. A must when driving on Morocco. We learned so much about the country and its people. I highly recommend you have Iiyas drive you with a tour in Morocco.

Blue City Day Adventure

Ilyas is an excellent ambassador for the country of Morocco. He’s very knowledgeable of both historical and current events and how those have shaped this beautiful country. He’s a very kind and generous man, accommodating, timely and flexible in the plans for the day. We enjoyed the Blue City, with Ilyas helping to arrange a tour guide through the city. Definitely a 5+ star experience.

The Blue City Is Amazing!!

Maria_M, Apr 2025
From our driver Medhi to our guide Mohammed (who we booked separately thru the tour operator for $30) it was an amazing day. We traveled four hours in Medhi’s four wheel drive vehicle from Rabat to the “Blue City” of Chefchauouene. Medhi was a fantastic driver who got us to & from Chefchauouene safely along some windy country roads. He answered any questions we had and even stopped along they way so we could get photos of the storks. We enjoyed our private tour thru the Old City Medina by our Mohammed. He was very knowledgable since he was a lifelong resident and we throughly enjoyed the experience.

Thank you very much for this nice review.

Worth the long trip

Phyllis_B, Mar 2025
Chefchaouen is a unique place with it’s blue buildings and alleyways. It is worth the 4 hours drive from Rabat. It lived up to expectations. Llyas was an excellent driver.

Great tour from Rabat…long day but well worth it! Ilyas provided commentary as we traveled to the Blue City even stopping at a wonderful olive and argan oil shop. I highly recommend this tour.

Our driver Jalal was very responsive and promptly reached out to give us details prior to the trip. Drive was long, but Jalal made us feel comfortable throughout the journey. Very professional and personable - got my wife and I safely there and back. Highly recommended. Thanks again Jalal!

Trip to the Blue City

Jaime_P, Mar 2023
Although it took 4 hours to get to Chefchaouen, it was an amazing trip. Full of history. One of a kind to visit this amazing city. To fully understand why it was called the Blue City.. in fact, ended up buying a beautiful and handmade rug.
