Amazing! All parts of the tour were great, Youssef our tour driver for the way to Chefchaouen and back to Tangier was great! Very knowledgeable, attentive and great vibes with everyone on board. The tour guide in Chefchaouen was very good too and I would definitely recommend this tour!

This was an amazing day trip from Tangier.
Our guide, Youssef, was fun and full of good information. My local guide in the village, Foad, was full of helpful knowledge and took great photos!

Yousef made the trip so much more enjoyable with his bubbly personality. Kept us all entertained with jokes and history of the area on route. We were picked up on time and felt like we had enough time at each stop. Would definitely recommend.

This is a great way to visit Chefchaouen if you are based in Tangier. The bus trip each way is quite long, however once you are there you have the guided tour, followed by a couple of hours of free time to explore on your own.
Our mini-bus driver Adil drove safely, and we had a short stop each way on the journey.

Very scenic, small group tour. Very relaxing and we were well taken care of!! We had Omar as our driver, we were safe.

Excellent efficient realiable service..!Our comfortable air conditioned van arrived on time. We stopped at a cafe with a panoramic view which was great on the way there..Our tour guide on arrival at Chefchaouen led us around the Medina and was knowledgeable about the area. He suggested a great restaurant to have lunch in afterwards that we enjoyed. Return pick up was on time and we had a quick stop for a coastal view on the way back to Tangier.The complimentary gift and bottle of water were an added bonus.

Very beautiful place and lovely experience, the scenery is something to see, Omar was a top driver and kind hearted.
Michelle_K, Mar 2026
What a great day! The pickup was punctual, the Mercedes van was very comfortable, and we appreciated the water bottles, rest stop, and scenic photo stops. Once at the Blue city, we were met by the local tour guide for a very knowledgeable 2 hour walking tour around the city. Afterwards, we had 2 hours of free time for lunch, shopping, and exploring on our own before a comfortable drive home. There was a fair amount of additional traffic on the return trip, since it was a Sunday, but no one seemed to mind as we were busy editing photos and dozing.

Our driver was great and timely, and our guide was well informed, very funny and made the experience even greater. Would absolutely recommend our guide (Nahim/Najim - so sorry if I’m misspelling your name) as well as this company!!

We booked the full-day Chefchaouen tour expecting a relaxing scenic drive and a peaceful day exploring the Blue City. Unfortunately, that was not our experience at all.
At 9am the driver was blasting loud music and even had strobe lights going in the vehicle, which was completely unnecessary and honestly very irritating that early in the morning. Instead of enjoying the beautiful mountain views, we were stuck in what felt like a party van.
On top of that, we stopped at two different gas stations for about 20 minutes each. The stops felt unnecessary and wasted valuable time from our day.
By the time we arrived in Chefchaouen, we were so frustrated that we decided to ditch the guide and explore on our own just to salvage the experience.
If you are looking for a calm, relaxing ride where you can sit back and enjoy the scenery, this tour is not for you.
Response from Host, Mar 2026
Thank you for sharing your feedback about your day trip to Chefchaouen. We are sorry to hear that the journey did not fully match your expectations.
Regarding the stops on the road, the journey from Tangier to Chefchaouen through the Rif Mountains takes around two hours, and brief stops can occasionally be necessary. Also, prior to the tour you had specifically asked our team if there would be a break during the drive due to stomach issues, which is why the driver ensured that stops were made along the way.
During the tour, no concern was raised with the driver or with our team. Our agency remains available throughout the day so that any request or preference from our guests can be addressed immediately whenever needed. Communication is key.
We always aim to provide a comfortable and enjoyable experience for our travelers and appreciate feedback from our guests.

Awesome trip but road is winding so take something for motion sickness if you’re prone. The town is small but beautiful and picturesque. We went off season so not crowded. Food was awesome as well.
Murali_B, Mar 2026
Highlight of Morocco! 🇲🇦 We weren't sure about an 11-hour day trip from Tangier, but this tour was worth every second. Perfectly paced with a coffee stop, 4 hours of exploring Chefchaouen with an expert guide, and a great lunch. If you’re in Tangier, don’t miss this. 10/10 recommended!
Charlotte_P, Mar 2026
This was the best day out I had on my trip in Morocco. I highly recommend this day trip if you’re short on time and can’t stay in Chefchaouen overnight, as you can see everything there is in the two hour guided tour and you get free time to explore.
Jonathan_H, Mar 2026
Longish day: well over 2 hours to reach Chefchaouen, a delightful town in the arid Mountains at 600m (2000 ft), always cooler /wetter than the coast, with further 30 min coffee stop on way. Local Guide was excellent & comprehensive Médina tour in Moslem & Jewish sections with every feature visible explained! 2 hour tour + 2 hour free time, we went in Casbah (80dh pp) and up tower for panoramic view, followed by reasonable cost lunch in square facing. Same route home with toilet break after 1hr plus, with seafront panoramic stop just before sunset in Tangier, overlooking Cape Malabar & Tangier Bay. Driver Yacoub only gave basic announcements before/en route & took 2 longish mobile phone calls on dual carriageway home, leaving him with one hand & half a brain to drive!

This was a perfect day trip from Tangiers! Only located about 90min away, this was a full day of fun, history, shopping and great food.
Amy_G, Mar 2026
As a solo traveler, this day trip ended up being one of the most meaningful experiences of my visit. Our local guide was incredibly knowledgeable, but what really stood out was how personable and welcoming he was. From the start, he made me feel completely comfortable and included.
You could tell he had genuine pride in his city. He didn’t just share facts — he shared stories, personal connections, and insights that made everything feel alive and authentic. Watching him greet people along the way made it clear he’s truly part of the community, not just someone reciting a script.
Exploring on my own can sometimes feel isolating, but this tour felt like spending the day with a passionate local friend. I left with a deeper appreciation for the city and some great recommendations for the rest of my solo adventure. Highly recommend.
Moe_M, Feb 2026
Nicely plan day of excursion. Ayoub the driver was very kind and nice. Well plan of pick up and drop off. Very timely stops. Very safe and cautious driver. Mohamed the tour guide was very nice and knowledgeable. Give you enough information and history lessons without being boring and over the top. I throughly enjoy my day!
I will recommend this tour. You will also have 2 hours on your own to explore, eat and drink!
Amali_H, Feb 2026
This trip was wonderful and definitely a great value for money as broke students. Our tour guide Najeem was extremely friendly and informative. Our driver Youssef was hilarious and gave us some great recommendations for other places in Morocco. Overall 10/10!
AJ_L, Feb 2026
This was a great day trip and Youssf made it sooo enjoyable. He is very professional and knowledgeable and very witty. He took care of all of us and made the trip so much fun.
John_D, Feb 2026
Great day trip from Tangier to Chefchaouen! Our guide was Youssef and he was kind, helpful and funny! Can’t ask for more in your local guide. Thank you, Youseff, for a great day today!
Medardo_M, Feb 2026
Wonderful day walking around the Blue City! Youssef was a very safe driver, gave us good insights on things we saw during our trip. Local tour guide was knowledgeable of the Medina. Xauen tour company van clean and reliable. Will recommend.
Victoria_U, Feb 2026
The tour operator is very professional and was communicating with us up to the moment we got into the car. The car was a nice Mercedes minibus, very clean, air conditioned , great WiFi. Our driver, Nizar, was amazing in every way- great driver, pleasant , very accommodating and well spoken.
The tour itself was great and very well organized. Highly recommended.

My wife and I traveled from Tangier to Chefchaouen on a day trip. The driver picked us up directly from our hotel. Even though it was raining heavily outside, the tour operator handled everything very professionally and organized the tour beautifully.
Chefchaouen itself is an incredibly beautiful place. Unfortunately, because of the bad weather, we couldn’t fully enjoy it as much as we had hoped. We had to explore most of the city while holding umbrellas due to the rain.
That said, the overall service was excellent and well managed. Despite the weather, we appreciated the effort, professionalism, and smooth coordination of the tour. I would definitely recommend this tour, especially on a clear day when Chefchaouen can truly be enjoyed to its fullest.

Great trip to Chefchaouen! It is truly a stunning city. Our guides, Louay and Najib, were top notch and our driver Noureddine were excellent!
Rumana_A, Jan 2026
The tour was perfect! And Assad was wonderful—friendly, informative and a great music playlist for the drive. Chefchaoun was unique and delivered on a great experience
Gilles_D, Jan 2026
Perfect organization of a wonderful day.
A fluent ride, and the best guide ever!
I would do it again.
Chiara_M, Jan 2026
The guide picked us up directly at the hotel in perfect time. After 2 hours of ride + a quick stop, we arrived in Chauchaufen. Unfortunately was raining a lot but the guide was super good at explaining everything about the small town and after suggested us a super good restaurant. He gave us the time to do shopping and go solo. We came back around 18.30. Thanks so much for the interesting tour. Really reccomanded.
Jason_L, Jan 2026
It was a rainy day, so didn't get to experience the true essence of the tour and the "city". One can see the potential and gem of a place that it is, but the rain stopped us from getting the full experience. Additionally, at some point, the guide left us (and another couple) without informing that he was moving on with the rest of the group. We stopped to purchase some items at a "designated" stop, but the guide just left unannounced. I'd still recommend this to folks who want a guided tour of Chefchaouen, but whoever the guide is should make sure everybody is accounted for before moving on.
Leslie_R, Dec 2025
Pick up was on time. Driver was friendly and he was a very cautious driver as the roads are very windy. Our guide was very knowledgeable about Chefchaouen. Highly recommended!
