I took the day trip from Fes to Chefchaouen with Desert Excursion Morocco, and it was truly unforgettable. Our driver, Mohamed, was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the long drive comfortable. Once in Chefchaouen, I loved wandering the charming blue streets and soaking up the peaceful vibe. The guide gave us helpful tips on where to shop and eat, which made the experience even better. It was the perfect escape from the busy city of Fes. Highly recommend this trip to anyone wanting to see a different side of Morocco!
The day trip from Fes to Chefchaouen organized by Desert Excursion Morocco was one of the highlights of my Morocco visit. Mohamed, our driver and guide, was punctual and shared fascinating stories about the region during the drive. Chefchaouen’s blue alleys and mountain views are even more stunning in person. We had plenty of time to explore, take photos, and enjoy a delicious lunch. The whole day felt well-paced and stress-free. I would definitely book this tour again!
