The 10 Best Walking Tours in Chefchaouen, Tangier-Tetouan Region

December 18, 2021 Tynisha Seiler

This stunning Moroccan city in the Rif Mountains was originally built as a fortress in the 15th century. The mountains towering over Chefchaouen resemble a pair of goat’s horns, and, perhaps not coincidentally, the creamy native goat cheese is one of the most popular regional treats. Architecture enthusiasts will marvel at the Jewish-inspired blue-tinted buildings, octagonal mosque and Spanish ruins.

We had an absolutely brilliant tour with Adil. He arrived at our accommodation and asked what we were most interested to see. After discussing this and confirming we did not want a shopping tour, we headed off. Adil is incredibly knowledgeable about the history of Fez and Morocco. He took us to the key sites and around the Medina, explaining things as we went, answering our questions and discussing Moroccan life and culture. He put us at ease in the complicated and bustling streets of the Medina and gave us a list of things not to miss after the tour. Our tour with him was absolutely excellent. It is such a nice introduction to Fez and the key sites around the Medina, getting local insight and a history lesson, without worrying about getting lost or being touted by shop keeps. Highly recommend it and sincere thanks to Adil. He was fantastic.

Fes to Chefchaouen day trip Wedged between two mountains, Chefchaouen is a city with whitewashed houses with blue and white. A powerful charm that we feel on Outa-el-Hammam in the pebbled Medina.Sitting at an outdoor cafe, you can enjoy the beautiful view of the Grand Tarik-Ben-Ziad Mosque  witch the octagonal minaret is inspired from the Torre de Oro in Seville. This Andalusian architecture is found in the kasbah and its gardens, in the heart of the medina. its walls and the eleven crenellated towers, one of them served as a dungeon, home to an interesting ethnographic museum. « This peaceful city is not a museum : here, the craft tradition is alive ! Be seduced by its authentic charm.

We've just came back from a marvellous trip in Morocco with professional guide Youssef, who made this trip ungovernable. We start from Marrakech to Sahara desert to ride camel and overnight in Berber camp. Then to Fez. This was great thanks to Africa Morocco Tours and Youssef.

I requested the services of Chefchaouen Adventures for my family's visit to the region of Chefchaouen because we'd be before and wanted do something beyond the visit to the old city and the hike up the Akchour falls. Mohammed Yassine (MY), after taking into account the physical shape of everyone in the group (5 adults of ages 28 to 70 and 2 dogs), suggested we hike in the national park of Talassemtane which I had never heard of. He was very good about explaining what the hike entailed and made all of the arrangements - 4*4 rental, lunch, water. MY is a great guide who is extremely knowledgeable about the region of Chefchaouen, medicinal plants, and many other things - He kept us entertained and interested during the trip, so much so that my aunt - who typically doesn't enjoy physical exercise - loved the outing and declared it an wonderful idea. MY provided excellent advice on restaurants in Chefchaouen and was very accomodating when we decided to change our next day agenda. It was a great trip and I'll definitely be using Chefchaouen adventures again and recommend MY to anyone wanting to visit Morocco!

Omar was a wonderful tour guide! He picked me up in Tangier in his van and we went to Hercules Cave, Cape Spartel, and for a camel ride on the beach. The tour was well organized and the views were spectacular! Omar is knowledgeable, speaks great English, and very friendly. He knows Tangier well and can help with anything you need. I highly recommend Omar to anyone who wants a fantastic tour.

We were very kindly welcomed into the Médina of Fes and also drove to Chefchaouen. Don’t shy out to ask to be escorted to places! It’s the best to enjoy the Médina.

My best friend and I were originally supposed to take another tour with another company, which fell through at the last minute. Talk about fortuitous!!! We could not have been happier with the tour and especially our driver Omar! Wow. Omar was so very friendly, personable and knowledgeable. And what a sense of humor! He geared the entire trip around what we wanted to do, and would stop anywhere we wanted to stop (“ooooh Omar- what’s that?” “Would you like to stop?”) My friend and I (we are both American) ended up taking the tour with a Russian couple and by the second day it felt as though all 5 of us had already been friends who decided to go on road trip together. The places we were scheduled to stop were beautiful, safe and friendly. The night at the Berber village was fantastic, where we took a desert camel ride at sunset and then another the next morning (don’t let “camel trek” scare you off. It’s not much time spent on the camel) at night there were drums and singing by firelight, with about 10 other travelers from different treks. And let me tell you I have never seen stars like the ones I saw in the Sahara. I didn’t want to even blink so as to soak up every moment. If you are in Fes and on your way to Marrakech, this is the way to do it. This company also does other routes so check in with them if that’s not your exact direction. Whichever way you go, take your time and soak up as much of the local culture as possible. If you’re a shy traveler, it’s a great way to meet other travelers and really learn about and get a feel for local flavor. Its very affordable and if you are lucky enough to get Omar as your driver, any questions you may have will be answered with aplomb. Can you tell I cannot say enough good things about Omar? He really made sh*t happen. One more tip: if you are planning on renting a car and driving in Morocco, I would advise against it as a foreigner, especially if you do not speak Arabic. I was planning on driving myself from Marrakech to Chefchaouen and cancelled the car reservation upon arrival to Marrakech after seeing how many police checkpoints there are throughout Morocco. Having a government sanctioned/licensed tour company like this one is your best and safest way to go, with far less hassle from the police. Have fun and I hope you enjoy Morocco as much as we did!
