The joy of life - chefouen tour from Casablanca

This was a bit pricey but we'll worth it as a solo traveler.. They took good care of me. Very punctual with hotel pickup.. Clean transportation.. Lunch was at top of restaurant and was a bit of a walk.. Guides were all polite and friendly.. I came to shop and shop I did.. My guide helped with bags.. My only advise is to carry plenty of cash as most stores in small towns want only cash.. Negotiate, negotiate and negotiate for price in this part of the world.. If not satisfied with price walk on someone will give fair price along the way... I enjoyed my trip.. Long day so prepare yourself.. Train ride also clean and smooth ride... Very pleased all around..

Long day but worthwhile with seamless travel via train road and tour

Seamless journey from our hotel pick to train then driver up to the blue city. Our guide Mohamed was very knowledgeable and highlighted areas. Even though it was a long day we were collected by friendly Khia Overall I recommend this tour.

Great city tour. Missed opportunity on 2 hr car trip

Tour guide Mohamod was excellent with ongoing information about Chefchaouen. Could not have done better job. He was a local and respected by locals. Pick from hotel punctual and driver took us to train platform. It would have been nice if we got some commentary from driver to or from train to Chefchaouen. Driver waited with sign at station which was helpful. He could also have shown us to platform on return as was separate to all other departures.
