Explore at your own pace with a private vehicle, driver, and English-speaking guide at your service. Embark on a beautiful journey to the enchanting town of Chefchaouen. Forty miles south of Tetouan and just a few hours away from Tangier, Chefchaouen is a blue-washed city in northern Morocco with a history of Spanish influence. It is situated in the heart of the Rif Mountains, where surrounding trees, hills, springs, and wildflowers attract visitors seeking a calm getaway.
In the 1600s, Moulay Ismail built Chefchaouen as an Arab fortress. In the centuries that followed, it also served as a Spanish prison. Today, it is a great place to explore one of the country's most interesting medinas (Old Towns). Walk along the main avenue and enter the medina through Bab l'Ain. In the Nouvelle Ville, you can sit in Place Mohammed V Park and enjoy the view of the mountains in the background during the springtime.
The Old Town is a photographer's delight. It is one of the few places in Morocco with an octagonal minaret next to the Grand Mosque.
You will have time to purchase lunch (at your own expense).
Capacity: 4 guests. Your private party may be of any size up to the maximum capacity.
Notes:
Private vehicles are ordered per vehicle (not per person), so only one person in the party needs to order the vehicle. The price shown is the total cost for the vehicle, driver, English-speaking guide, and applicable entrance fees. Bring local currency or credit cards for drinks, meals, and incidentals. Tour requires walking. Wear comfortable walking shoes. Bring a head covering. Shade is limited; to avoid sunburn, wear light, long clothing suitable for use as a cover-up. Bring a hat and sunglasses; wear biodegradable sunscreen. Bring bottled water. Do not take photos of military personnel without first obtaining consent. Always mind your belongings, particularly at points of interest or crowded places. Travel time to Chefchaouen is about 2½ hours each way. You will encounter sets of steps, and uphill walking is required. Minimum age is 15 years.
