What To Expect
Chefchaouen
Chefchaouen was founded in 1471 as a small Kasbah (fortress) by Moulay Ali Ibn Rashid Al-Alami, a descendant of Abd As-Salam al-Alami and Idris I, and through them, of the Islamic prophet Muhammad. Al-Alami founded the city to fight the Portuguese invasions of northern Morocco. Along with the Ghomara tribes of the region, many Moriscos and Jews settled here after the Spanish Reconquista (Inquisition) in medieval times. The city's blue palette drives its origin from that same era, given that arriving Jewish exiles painted their houses blue to reflect their divinity - a tradition that continued through the centuries. It wasn't until recently that the blue shades spread out of the Jewish quarter (the Mellah) to the other parts of the Medina (the old town) making it the "blue pearl of Morocco we know today.
Chefchaouen Medina
Chefchaouen has become one of the world's top picturesque destinations. Its Medina is a real charmer! So, prepare yourself to fall hard for its winding small alleys painted in every shade of blue you could imagine. If you are an Instagrammer, then you are in heaven! Your tour guide, as a local, knows all the hidden photo spots. Hence, you are not going to miss any of them. Furthermore, by strolling down Medina's labyrinthine alleyways, you will immediately absorb the Berber, Moorish, and Andalusian vibes. The itinerary comprises the most important landmarks of the city such as the Kasbah and its Museum, Hawta Square, Ras El Maa waterfall, the Great Mosque, Outa El Hammam main square, and many more.

Wonderful, private tour of Chefchaouen from Tangier

5.00Everything went smoothly from start to finish. Nabil met us at the train station with the driver, Abdul. They were both polite, helpful and accommodating!! Our drive to Chefchaouen was pleasant, relaxing and scenic. We made 1 stop along the way! Our tour guide, Mustafa, met us in Chefchaouen and gave us an excellent tour with a very nice pace! We never felt rushed. He spoke English well and pointed out all of the impt areas of interest to us. He waited patiently as we shopped a bit and we never felt pressured! After we stopped for lunch, he met back up with us, again on time and we completed our tour! Our driver, again with perfect timing, returned us safely to our hotel, despite some traffic backups! Overall a very pleasant, educational and relaxing day with perfect weather!!
Must go in Tangier

5.00While we had booked a tour to Chefchaoun from Tangier it turned into a private tour of Tangier as we were told by the guide the night before there was not enough time to travel round trip from Tangier to Chefchaouen and guarantee a return to our ship in time for it’s 9 pm departure. Our guide, “Chop Chop” was an excellent guide. He was courteous, polite, knowledgeable and knew every corner of Tangier. He took us to places tourists don’t typically go and arranged a delicious Moroccan lunch for us. We avoided most of the crowds visiting typical places in Tangier. We would highly recommend him

5.00We had a great experience with our guide from Tangia to Chefchaouen. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and showed us some amazing hidden spots in the Blue City that we would not have found on our own. His local insight really made the visit special. The driver who picked us up from our hotel in Tangia was prompt and drove us back to the ferry on time. Highly recommend!
Loved this tour!! Amazing tour guide!

5.00My husband and I were looking forward to go to Morocco and we were researching different tour guide options. I came across Nabil’s tours and after reading a blog post about another couples amazing experience with him, my husband and I decided to reach out and book the Tangier and Chefchaouen tour with Nabil. It was absolutely amazing from A to Z. He took care of us so well and went above and beyond to make sure we were having the best time. If you’re going to Tangier, Nabil’s Tour is the ONLY tour to consider!!!!
Outstanding experience

5.00We booked trips on two days. The first was to Chefchauen, the blue city. We were met at arrival and driven in a comfortable mini-bus to our destination where we were greeted by our lovely guide Mustafa. He is extremely knowledgeable and we had a great time. Almost every time we turned a corner it was an “oh wow!” moment. On the second day we saw Tanger, including the cave of Hercules and the old town. The whole experience was great and professional and I can highly recommend Nabil and his crew
More Than a Safe and Vibrant Moroccan Tour--Nabil Treats You Like Family!

5.00I was visiting my friend in the south of Spain, and we really wanted to see Morocco, but as two women, there is no way we would feel comfortable venturing into North Africa by ourselves. Nabil came highly recommended by her friends at the naval base, and there is a reason he has only 5-star reviews. From start to finish, Nabil will greet you warmly at the ferry, arrange comfortable and safe transportation to every stop in Tangier and Chefchaoen, and chat freely about the history and sites of Tangier with the most warm and welcoming spirit you could imagine! He takes you to the sites you want to see, as well as good local restaurants, and he makes sure you are taken care of. I feel like I got to see the city through the eyes of a native who was somehow also a long-lost friend, and we felt safe and giddy and totally welcomed in a place where we most expected to feel lost, anxious, and hassled. Though brief, this trip was one of the most surprising and soul-filling I have ever taken, and Nabil was a huge part of that. You could wander the city by yourself and try and figure things out, but...why would you? Nabil knows everyone, takes you everywhere, reduces all the stress of travel and shows you the best of his homeland--all with the kindest and most radiant friendliness and desire to give you the best tour possible. Book Nabil today, you won't be sorry. My only complaint is...Nabil, where are these homemade cookies from your mother I was reading about in the other reviews?!
Best Tour guide ever!!!

10/10 Recommend Tour with Nabil

5.00I came across Nabil’s tour service through an online search and booked two tours for my visit to Tangier - a day trip to the blue city and a tour of Tangier. From start to finish, Nabil was great to communicate with and made sure everything I needed was taken care of. He and his driver, Abdul, picked me up from the Tangier port in a clean, professional & comfortable van and took me to my hotel where I was picked up each day for my excursions. His team of guides were great communicators and trustworthy - going with Nabil was 100% worth it instead of doing a large tour bus or group. He and the guides spoke great English, they took me to authentic restaurants and made sure everything went smoothly. I have nothing but positive things to say about Nabil’s tours and would recommend them to anyone visiting Tangier for the first time who is looking for a local expert to show them around. If (when) I return, Nabil will be the first person I call!
No Stress With An Expert

5.00First, the ride up to the blue city was really easy. We also stopped at a restaurant and had this delicious bread and the best goat cheese in the world. Does that sound dramatic? Yes, but the cheese was so creamy and didn’t taste like goat at all. Plus, the view from the restaurant was breathtaking. It overlooked a lake and the hills that surrounded it were blanketed in greenery. When we did reach the blue city, Nabil took us on a path the avoided the crowds and tourist traps which we loved because we got to see what the blue city was like as if we were local or before the tourist boom. He showed us what daily life is like for people of the city and explained some of the history behind what makes it unique. Overall, Nabil made this trip really easy for us - great price, no stress, expert knowledge. I have recommended him to everyone who wants to check out Northern Morocco. Will use his tour again when family comes to town!
