Great guide, Beautiful town and people. Wear appropriate shoes for waterfall - We were picked up by Yuseff, our driver who did a great job getting us to Chefchaouen and back to Tanger. He was a little quiet but nice and accommodating. We were then handed over to our guide in Chefchaouen, named Norman. He was amazing. He has grown up in the town. He knows everyone. He provided history, food tasting, and tried hard to create a great experience. He is very energetic and funny. When it came time to us to go to waterfall, it became apparent that Viator did not describe the waterfall part of the trip very well. Apparently we would need to hike for about 45 minutes to the waterfall. We love hiking. However nowhere on the description did it say we would hike or should wear clothing and shoes appropriate for a hike. I do not think it would of been a strenuous hike but we still did not have the correct shoes on for this part. Norman felt horrible and extended our time in Chefchaouen with more history and amazing views. He did an awesome job.

Absolutely worth the trip, great memory - Prompt pick up from hotel and comfortable ride to Chefchaouen. Guides were local and knowledgeable. We were able to enjoy the entire day. Nouaman(Norman) was proud to show us his city and take us to a very good place for lunch.

The best Chefchaouen experience! - This was the most incredible experience. Our driver Youssef made us feel so welcome from the beginning - he was personable and knowledgeable and a great conversationalist. We loved picking his brain about all things Morocco and he was so accommodating. He knows the cities so well and navigates them like something out of the movies.
Our guide in Chefchaouen, Mohamed, was almost indescribable. His knowledge and passion for his city was infectious. His information included folk tales, scientific and historical facts, and everything in between. He made our experience feel so authentic and meaningful - I couldn’t imagine anyone more perfect for this job and we felt so lucky to have gotten the chance to see Chefchaouen through his eyes.

Tour from a true local. Really nice guy. Try and get Muhammed - Muhammed was an excellent guide. Very professional and exceptional English. He grew up in Chefchaouen and spends free time on the trails to the waterfalls so you are really getting a guide that knows the areas well. He took tons of photos for us. I didn’t realize that our guide would be doing this. He did a great job with the pictures and I’m grateful for that because I have something to remember the trip by. The spot he recommended for lunch was our favorite meal in Morocco. The hike was beautiful. We saw the smaller falls bc there was too much rain to see the larger falls that day but it was a beautiful hike. I wish the best to Muhammed! He’s getting married soon—it was interesting to hear about his religion and culture. I loved hearing about his new bride-to-be. We learned a bit of the history of the town and went to the market area (people are aggressive salesmen so be prepared for that) we enjoyed the market even with that. After buying a rug and having lunch we did the hike. I’d recommend wearing something nice for photos and comfortable shoes for hiking.
I’ll also mention that our driver picked us up from our hotel which was pretty far out of the way. The driver stayed with us through the whole day and then drove us back to our hotel. This made things really convenient for us. He was great too!

Great trip with a great guide - Norman was amazing. He was very knowledgeable and friendly and made this such a great experience. The city is beautiful and the drive there is as well! Our drive Ibraham was very professional and nice and kept us in comfort for the whole drive. The blue city is definitely worth visiting if you travel to Morocco.

Enchanting - The place is more than beautiful; it is enchanting. The only problem is the overcrowding and the lack of parking space..

Unhappy with time management by tour company - We were disappointed that the guide did not take use to see the waterfalls of Akchour. I was very much looking forward to that and far too much time was spent taking us around Chefchaouen so we ran out of time. There seemed to be a certain number of shops we had to visit to complete the tour in Chefchaouen because I asked if we were OK on time, and was told yes. As it turns out, we didn’t get to see the waterfalls and our driver drove much faster on the way back to the ferry, we were the last to board running and barely made it on the ferry in time.
