Full Day Trip From Rabat To Chefchaouen Blue City

This is a full day with a lot of time in the car, but it is a great way to see Morocco outside of the cities and medinas. Our favorite part was actually the drive because the space between Rabat and Chefchouan is beautiful. The driver was very safe, friendly, and made good time. The guide in Chefchouan was knowledgable and kind, making us feel very welcome. In a few hours, we were able to see a lot of blue streets, the river, and take a break for tea. It’s steep so a good workout, but more importantly, it’s a real maze so having a guide was great. He even bought us some treats for the ride back to Rabat.

Picked up at our hotel in Rabat. Stopped 1/2 way for a pit stop and back. Fantastic driver. Walking tour through Chefchaouen with guide was perfect. He gave us insight into his beautiful mountain town, helped us negotiate a price for a Berber rug, took our pics at amazing spots around the Medina, he picked up Somme tasty sweets for us. Overall a memorable day! Highly recommend

Driver Yasir is very safe and Guide Ibrahim is also very nice We enjoyed it very much Blue city was worth visiting

We had a fantastic full-day trip from Rabat to the wonderful city of Chefchaouen with our family of five. The Mercedes van was very comfortable, and our driver Moussa was professional and friendly. Guide Brahim was knowledgeable and engaging. Chefchaouen is beautiful, but be prepared—it requires some athletic effort with its many slopes. Highly recommended experience!

The rating reflects the mismatch between expectations and what actually happened in Chefchaouen primarily due to Guide Abdul. My understanding was that the tour was designed for four hours travel time to Chefchaouen from Rabat, 3.5 to 4 hours guided tour in Chefchaouen (which included 40 mins free time) and four hours travel time back to Rabat. The ride to Chefchaouen and back was smooth. The car arrived in time for hotel pick up, was well air-conditioned, with one stop each way for a bathroom break. The only recommendation I have is to provide more water in the car. When we reached Chefchaouen , we had to wait a few minutes for Guide Abdul to show up. He was kind enough to provide a bottle of water since the one small bottle in the car was finished. He then did a fairly good job showing me around for about 50 minutes which included taking pictures at popular social media locations. However, once we reached the main square, Guide Abdul told me that I should hang around there for an hour on my own,after which he would come back and do the second leg of the tour for an hour after which I would have one more hour free time before driving back to Rabat. When I told him that I wanted to finish the whole tour in one go and did not want to hang around on my own in the square, Guide Abdul told me that he had another client so I had to be on my own for an hour. At that point, I texted Khalid the vendor who fortunately was very responsive and told Guide Abdul to finish my tour. After that, Guide Abdul took me around for about 40 minutes, but was quite disengaged texting most of the time and walking fast and not waiting for me to catch up. Also, at one point when I wanted to use the toilet, he pointed me to the public toilet. It was only when I told him that was not acceptable due to cleanliness that he took me to a clean toilet. This was my first day in Morocco and I feel very sad that my trip was so disappointing specially after paying premium pricing

Our 2 week tour of Morocco had a last minute change which provided us with an extra day in Rabat with no plans and this day trip to Chefchaouen was the PERFECT alternative. The service communicated logistic clearly and answered our questions. The car and driver were exceptional and timely and our guide in the city gave us so very informative and friendly and keep out time and diet limitations in mind. Easily one of the best part of our trip to Morocco. Highly, highly recommended.

Driver Hamza was superb at navigating challenging roads and was very accommodating making stops and taking photos for us. Tour guide Abraham was also friendly and excellent sharing historic information about the city and helping us shop for gifts, a delicious and scenic place for lunch, etc.

This was the perfect trip! Chefchaouen is an absolute must-see if you’re visiting Morocco—it’s breathtakingly picturesque. The drive is quite long; you leave Rabat at 7:30 AM and return around 9 PM. But it’s so worth it! I highly recommend Hamza as your driver. I usually get carsick, but this was the first time I didn’t—he’s an excellent driver. Plus, the guide we had was phenomenal!

We had a wonderful day traveling from Rabat to Chefchaouen and back. A full 12 hour day with lots of education on Morocco and beauty of the Blue City. Thank you Brahim and Youness for your hospitality!

We had an excellent driver for the four hour drive from Rabat to Chefhaouen despite heavy morning fog, mountainous roads and numerous slow trucks and farm equipment. Our driver was polite but had limited English; our guide in the Blue City was Hossain, who was multilingual and quite spry. The Blue City is certainly picturesque and definitely worth a visit. The town has many steps but few handrails. I only wish that Chefhaouen had been included in our tour group’s itinerary.

Our driver, Rasheed ,was very pleasant and prompt but has limited English; he was an excellent driver despite dense morning fog, mountainous roads and numerous slow trucks and farm vehicles. The trip from Rabat was about four hours each way but the car was very comfortable. We were met in the Blue City by our local guide, Hossain who is multilingual and very spry. The town is very charming but has many stairs but few handrails. We would definitely recommend a trip to Chefchaouen and only regret that this tour was not included as part of our Morocco package.

The trip was amazing! We loved our driver Moussa - very efficient! A 4.5 hour drive in 3.5 hours. Our city guide Brain was a wealth of knowledge and also helped tell us the prices of various goods and bought us Moroccan pasties to try. The city was beautiful and really cute. It’s about a 2.5-3 hour walking tour, but took us a little longer since we shopped along the way. Looked for other tours and this was cheaper than the group ones and it was completely private! So glad we did this.

We had to book this trip through Viator as the other company let us down last minute. We were able to book it overnight and the driver Mohamed picked us up on time next morning. Good driver. It took a little while locating the guide once we got to the city but everything was smooth after that. Rizwan our guide was knowledgeable. For the price I feel they could have included lunch and drinks which they didn’t. Lot of walking and climbing steps! Overall the tour was great!

Our full-day trip from Rabat to Chefchaouen was fantastic! Rachid, our driver, ensured a smooth and comfortable journey in a spacious van. In Chefchaouen, we met our guide, Thami, who was wonderful. He led us through the picturesque blue streets, sharing rich history and local insights. The experience was delightful for our family of five, with every detail well taken care of. Returning to Rabat in the evening, we were filled with wonderful memories. Highly recommend this excursion

Experience an incredible journey from Rabat to Chefchaouen with Driver Moussa and Guide Kamal. Beginning at 8:00 AM and concluding at 9:00 PM, every moment was filled with excitement and discovery. Moussa's skilled driving ensured a smooth trip, while Kamal's informative commentary enriched our understanding of Chefchaouen's history and culture. From the iconic blue streets to the stunning mountain scenery, this full-day excursion surpassed all expectations. Grateful for the unforgettable memories made!

The scenery on the way back and forth. The blue city itself. However, we wish we had more time to wonder around the narrow streets instead of going to the carpet store trying to convince us to buy those "hand made" carpets.

Our family had an incredible full-day journey from Rabat to Chefchaouen and back, thanks to driver Samir and guide Brahim. Samir expertly maneuvered the spacious van, ensuring our comfort throughout the scenic ride. Meanwhile, Brahim's wealth of knowledge and engaging storytelling made exploring Chefchaouen's blue-hued beauty an enriching experience. From bustling markets to hidden gems, every moment was captivating. We returned to Rabat with cherished memories and newfound appreciation for Morocco's charm. For families seeking an immersive adventure, this trip with Samir and Brahim is an absolute must-do.

A full-day excursion from Rabat to Chefchaouen with Samir as our driver and Brahim as our guide was an absolute delight! The 8 hour journey there and back was smooth and comfortable, thanks to Samir's expert driving. Brahim's insightful commentary during our time in Chefchaouen added depth to our experience, enriching our understanding of the city's culture and history. Their professionalism and hospitality made the trip both enjoyable and informative. I highly recommend this private tour for anyone seeking to explore the beauty and culture of Chefchaouen with knowledgeable and friendly guides.

Great service. Very professional. Felt very luxurious. We were able to pay with credit card. I was able to use WhatsApp to organize my transfer from Rabat to Chefchaouen if I was last minute. Our driver “Youn” was excellent.

Chefchaouen is a beautiful city and is definitely worth the visit. We absolutely enjoyed our time there. So why rate it 3 stars and not 5? There are a few things to keep in mind. The Viator price you pay is for the car and driver only. The driver is not permitted by law to conduct a tour of the city. If you'd like a tour you have to hire a separate guide. Our driver contacted a local guide (Ibraham) who was really good. You can tour Chefchaouen on your own but I wouldn't recommend it. You may miss the most interesting parts. The ride from Rabat ito Chefchaouen is nearly 4 hours each way. This means you have limited time to visit the city. Moroccan drivers are very impatient and take a lot of chances, even during foggy weather. The ride made us very uneasy at times.

I had an incredible full-day trip from Rabat to Chefchaouen and back, with Nabil as our driver. Nabil was an excellent guide who provided safe and comfortable transportation throughout the journey. The scenic drive allowed us to appreciate Morocco's picturesque landscapes. In Chefchaouen, we explored the charming blue-washed streets, indulged in delicious local cuisine, and soaked up the vibrant atmosphere. Nabil's professionalism and knowledge enhanced our experience, making it a truly memorable adventure. Highly recommended!

I highly recommend Brahim as a driver for a full day trip from Rabat to Chefchaouen. He was punctual, courteous, and knowledgeable about the route and local attractions. His driving was safe and comfortable, and he made several stops for photo opportunities and rest breaks. Overall, it was an enjoyable and stress-free experience.

The full-day trip from Rabat to Chefchaouen was an incredible experience. Our knowledgeable MOHAMED made the journey informative and enjoyable, while the stunning views of the Blue City left us in awe. Highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to discover the beauty of Morocco.

The trip was great, great car, great driver, I had free Wi-Fi ,the car was clean, lots of space, I would recommend to everybody

I booked this service with private taxi rabat from rabat to casablanca airport one week before they sent me all the information drivre name and numbre phone it was a very comfortable and relaxing ride good service they was ponctual i will book with private taxi rabat next time

Wonderful destination, long journey from Rabat but very rewarding. Pleasant guide showing the beautiful places in the city

The ride was far too fast and risk-taking. Overtaking in corners, in heavy fog and driving at way too excessive a speed. The city tour, on the other hand, was great.
