About the Chefchaouen day trip
Chefchaouen, the blue pearl of the Rif mountains, is one of the most photographed places in Morocco. Its medina is painted in every shade of blue, with flower pots on the stairs, cats on the doorsteps and the green mountains rising right behind the rooftops.
This private day trip from Fes takes you there in comfort along the Rif foothills, with time to explore the lanes at your own pace, to have lunch on a terrace above Outa el Hammam square, to see the Kasbah and its gardens, the Ras El Ma spring where women still wash wool, and to walk up to the Spanish Mosque for the classic view over the blue town.
Leaving from your riad in Fes and coming back the same evening, it fits easily into any itinerary of the imperial cities.
Highlights
- The blue medina of Chefchaouen
- Outa el Hammam square and the Kasbah
- Ras El Ma spring and waterfalls
- Spanish Mosque viewpoint over the town

How much does the chefchaouen day trip cost?
For 2 travellers the private day trip costs €95 per person (€190 in total), and for 4 travellers €48 per person. The price is for your own vehicle and driver, so it goes down as your group grows.
Is Chefchaouen worth a day trip from Fes?
Yes, it is one of the most popular day trips in Morocco. If you love photography, consider staying a night (book as a 2-day tour).
Why is Chefchaouen blue?
There are several stories: Jewish refugees in the 1930s, keeping mosquitoes away or simply tourism. Today the town repaints the walls every year.
Can we add the Akchour waterfalls?
Yes, if you stay overnight. Akchour and God’s Bridge are a 45-minute drive from Chefchaouen and need a half day of hiking.
Can you drop us in Chefchaouen instead of returning to Fes?
Yes, the price is the same. Write it in the notes.
How do I pay and when is my booking confirmed?
You pay online with PayPal or a debit or credit card through PayPal’s secure checkout, and you receive a receipt by email. If online payment is not available, you can send a booking request instead: we confirm it and send you a secure payment link. After booking, and Rachid or our team contacts you on WhatsApp to arrange the pick-up. Free cancellation up to 48 hours before departure.
Are your tours private or shared?
All our tours are private: only you and your travel companions, with your own vehicle and driver-guide.
Can you build a custom itinerary?
Yes. Tell us your dates, interests and budget, and a local travel designer will plan a tailor-made route across Morocco with clear, all-inclusive prices.
