Wonderful overview of the magical Chefchaoeun with Ahmed. We learned so much in a short time and were able to tailor our stops to our interests. A really memorable day!

Cruise stop for my wife and myself and Chefchaouen caught our eye for a more immersive experience than what we saw available in Tangiers or closer excursions.
Said picked us up at the cruise port in front of the mosque at the entrance to the pier. He is known by an official port employee who helps direct people coming from the ship and called him for a quick pickup. Great car, as advertised, with water bottles. Said is sufficient at English and we communicated fine. We also listened to a lot of Arabic popular music on the drive which surprisingly leans heavily to western hip hop and similar. The drive was interesting in that much of what we saw was similar to a California landscape with at least some glimpses into how life is lived there.
Our cruise departed at 5:00, so his guide, Ali, had a firm 2:00 limit for our departure. We were a little later than that leaving, and were a bit anxious to meet the 4:30 boarding time due to some traffic congestion and a a 5-10 minute walk to get to the ship. We made it with some time to spare, but don't press it.
So, why were we late? Ali! In a good way. He's excellent with English, lived in the city a long time, and has a fairly clear path to show you everything the town has, while giving the history of the place as well as how things are currently. He'll take you to all the "Instagram" spots, but there's so much more to it than that. My wife and I took many photos both with our phones and a "real" camera - there's good use for both.
As Ali says, he knows everyone and everyone knows him. We were not pressured by Ali in any situation to buy anything (our friends who went to the market and similar in Tangiers were negatively overwhelmed with sellers pressing them to buy things). That said, Ali knows everyone and I'd guess he makes a regular habit of stopping at preferred shops featuring local art of the city, leather goods and Persian rugs for example.
Each visit had no sales pressure but a "happy to meet you and take a look around if there's something you like" - a very welcoming approach. If you don't want to visit a shop, no problem. If you want to stop and shop at another place or a vendor in the streets, no problem, but he chose what we would consider quality shops.
When it comes to the Persian rug shop, it's worth visiting. Just brush up on prices in advance if you have an interest in getting one. They're not inexpensive and shipping is included to wherever you live. We spent a lot of time in the store and enjoyed the experience as well as conversation with the owner and Ali. And hot mint tea.
We spent all our time in the Blue City itself - other tours may take you to a market or the local mosque plaza - and we took our time taking lots of photos (Ali was very patient), so much so we didn't have time for lunch but did enjoy a quick beverage before returning to the port.
The time in town was ample, but it really depends on what you want to do and get out of the visit. For any with safety or cultural concerns or out-workings of world conflicts, just book the trip and enjoy yourself. It's a great place to spend some time - just watch the clock!

Our guide, Ali grew up in the area and still has family in Chefchaouen. He was able to give us a lot of historical background and took us to beautiful areas of Chefchaouen for pictures that were off the beaten path and not only the Instagram famous stairs with flowers. The store owners all knew him. We still haggled and got some wonderful deals. This was our second visit to Morocco but our first to northern Morocco. The Moroccan people are wonderful and nice. We felt very safe here.

Unbelievable experience. If i could give it 10 stars I would.. We were delighted with our private driver from Tangier to Chafchuen. He even stopped at a nice place for traditional moroccan mint tea. Once we got to Chafchuen we were greeted with our private tour guide who was so friendly. Took all of our family photos. Introduced us to local artists, shared the rich history of the city and arranged a private lunch for us. Our driver met us when the tour was done and took us back to the ferry.

It was along time dream to see Chefchaouen, the young man who met us , and became our guide (sorry I can’t remember his name,) has lived there most of his life and knew the city.
He knew the history of the city, where to take us for the best picture taking, and met our many challenge's. I was looking for a particular crafts man who worked with metal filigree, that I saw on TV 10 years ago.
The very last shop that he could think of after asking other shop owners for possibilities , found it and there I met Omar the man I had watched preform his magic using tool from century’s ago. I bought 6 traditional Moroccan tea glasses that sit inside the filigreed holders.
Our young guide if you can find his name from Viator is well worth trying to get.
One note to the wise, there are many many stairs of varying sizes if you were not in shape when you started you will be when you are finished.

The best part about this experience was that our guide, Mohamed, actually grew up in Chefchaouen! He is so knowledgeable of the city and its rich history. We were so lucky to have him as our guide to help us explore all that Chefchaouen has to offer!

We enjoyed the rides from the Tanger City to Chefchaouen and on the way back with Mr. Maji. He is very nice and has a great sense of humor with wonderful attitude. His music collection is also impressive. Our local guide Mr. Muhammed is knowledgeable. We have learned a lot about the town and also the country Morocco in general. He was able to answer all the questions we asked. Overall, we had a good time.

Chefchaouen is an amazing city. So much history and so beautiful. We took a private ride (two hours each way) in a very clean vehicle. Our driver (Tidi?) was very knowledgeable and kind. Upon arrival we were greeted by Ali, who conducted a wonderful tour of the town. The photo ops were plenty and he was able to point out the most scenic areas of the city. Our only coaching would be to let him know in advance if you don't want to be expected rug and blanket pitch, which can be a bit annoying. Thanks for a wonderful day.

Chefchauoen was really pretty and a highlight of our trip. The driver was great, and tour guide was great! We really enjoyed this experience. Good restaurant recommendation for lunch. The rug shop is pretty high pressure, so I would skip it if you aren’t at all interested in a rug.

We had a great experience. The team was communicative, the car we got was spacious, the drive to and from the Blue City was very enjoyable. Our driver was very sweet, even though he didn’t speak English very well he used translator to tell us about things along the way.
Our local guide was great! He is a local so knows a lot about the city and shows you all the cool and hidden spots. We went in a Monday and apparently it’s the best day to make a trip. There weren’t that many tourists so we enjoyed the city, had enough time to look around and take photos.

Larry_A, Oct 2023
Driver was good, just a little late but we then had extended time in Chefchaouen. Local guide was very knowledgeable. Thought we would see more really classic photo op sites though, either did not go to them or ones we did see could use a new paint job. Maybe since this was a little late in the tourist season, the paths and stairs were quite dirty.
Response from Host, Oct 2023
We are glad that you liked our driver and guide. I hope to see you more in Morocco. Thank you very much.

We had an unforgettable time in Chefchaouen. Jamal, our driver, safely got us to the location and even allowed us to stop halfway there for nice pictures, a bathroom break, and water. Once we arrived, Abdul was our tour guide through the beautiful blue walled city. He was our personal photographer as he guided us to different locations to take the best photos. He also dropped us off at a quality restaurant for lunch. When it was over, Jamal picked us back up and we headed back to Tangier.

Andkader (Abdul) picked us up outside of our hotel in Tangier and while driving, gave us facts and history of the area we were passing. We stopped by a coffee place with a beautiful view of a lake and then onto Chefchaouen. Once there, we met up with our tour guide, Ali, who walked us through the town giving us history, stops to take beautiful photos, meeting shop owners and learning about their trade, etc. Both tour guides were excellent!!! They were kind, insightful, warm, and very well intelligent about the area. I would 10/10 recommend this tour for anyone who wants to do a day tour of Chefchaouen.
