We had a friendly, skilled, and communicative driver for the whole day (Khaled), and two very nice local guides (one for the hike, and one for Chefchauouen), and I cannot recommend this expedition highly enough - it was definitely one of the highlights of our trip! We felt taken care of the whole time, and the driver + guides struck the right balance, answering all of our questions but also giving us our own space and time together. Communication before the trip, arranging time and location of pickup, was also smooth and easy. We ended up making a slight on-fly-the adjustment, doing the hike before visiting Chefchaouen rather than afterwards, and that ended up being the perfect choice for our group and that day. Our hiking guide also gave us the choice between two routes, suggesting one in particular for our young & active group, featuring a view of a beautiful natural bridge - if you're up for a small challenge, it was definitely worth it! Amazing day, would do it again, 5 stars!

Extremely good day out with very informative and enthusiastic guides! Had a great, problem free day. Only comment would be that not as much time was available to shop in the markets as expected and things were very expensive to pay for in euros with no opportunity to change currency whilst there. Either take some dirham with you or make sure you push for a good deal, will still be overpriced compared to normal prices for locals though. Be prepared to say no to many people trying to sell you things on the street. Overall had a fantastic day and felt extremely safe even in a small tour group. Lunch was light but tasted nice, mini bus in Morocco and bus in spain were in very good condition and always there when expected to be. Little waiting around time and the guides Ahbie, Joanna & Ahnie (hope I’ve spelt them correctly) really made it a special day to remember forever. Will definitely revisit Morocco, Tanger is a beautiful place!

Everything was exactly as described! I was picked up on time at the meeting point, the van was very comfortable and after arriving in Chefchaouen we met our guide who shared a lot of information and took us to the best photo spots. It was a great day & I'd recommend for someone who wants a day trip to Chefchaouen!

It is a very pleasant trip! The company delivers exactly what they say - nice car, pleasant driver, water and coffee, great tour. We spent the day with the guide Omar, who was fun, interesting and very cheerful person. We can just recommend this tour guide !

everything was great. clean van, nice and helpfull driver, frindly and funny guide Abdul who gave a thorough review of the sites. highly recommended. it is worth the money spent.
