Amazing Journey to the blue city

Ahmed's impeccable English and engaging explanations made the journey from Fes to Chefchaouen a breeze. We were captivated by the historic city of Meknes, especially the town of Volubilis and the Plaza.... The waterfalls of Akchour and Chefchaouen as a whole were the highlights of our trip. For a comprehensive visit to the charming city of Chefchaouen, this tour is highly recommended!

Beautiful views & friendly guide

A family of seven, we visited Morocco in late September. Finding a travel agency was challenging, but we ultimately chose Touring In Morocco after reviewing the top-listed companies. My mother desired a trip to Chefchaouen only, but we decided to book the 2-day excursion from Fes to Chefchaouen, including a visit to Meknes. Upon arrival in Meknes, we were awestruck by its beauty and architecture, particularly Volubilis, the gate, and the unique prison. Chefchaouen was equally breathtaking, with the Rif Mountains hike, the plaza, and the mosque being must-see attractions. The Akchour cascade was a highlight, providing an opportunity to relax and hike before returning to Fes. Highly recommended for anyone seeking to visit the blue pearl.

The best 2-day tour from Fes

Visiting Morocco in July from Spain, we flew to Fes and searched for a travel agency. After reviewing the top search results, we found Touring In Morocco's 2-day Fes to Chefchaouen trip, including a visit to Meknes and its attractions. We booked the tour and were very satisfied with the service. Our knowledgeable guide, Hassan, shared many insights into Moroccan history and culture. His English was excellent. We also visited the Akchour waterfalls and hiked the Rif Mountains, which we thoroughly enjoyed despite the short duration of our trip. Thank you again, Hassan! We look forward to returning and having you as our guide again.

Best Chaouen 2-day tour

We booked a 2-day journey from Fes to Chefchaouen with this travel agency, and we really loved it! Ahmed, our guide, was very knowledgeable about every attraction we were at. Also, since we wanted to visit Fez before the tour, they offered us a guide for a full day. We want to highlight the visit to Chefchaouen and the waterfalls, the hike in the Rif Mountains, etc. Everything went very well. Thanks again, Ahmed; it was a pleasure to meet a great person like you. We will definitely come to visit Morocco and do the Sahara desert trip this time. Thank you, Touring in Morocco, for the great service.
