What you'll see and do
Chefchaouen Medina
Fes Desert Trip’s driver, will pick you up from you hotel or Riad at 8 am for the fascinating drive to the North of Morocco for you to explore the unique and beautiful small city of Chefchaouen, the famous "Blue City" of Morocco. You will drive through the verdant forests, broad, lush valleys, deeply cut gorges and towering mountain peaks that surround the city of Chaouen. Wander through the narrow streets, painted in blue and white, of this peaceful place founded in 1471 by Moulay Ali ben Moussa as a kasbah, or walled fortress which you can still visit today. It has a more recently added and very picturesque garden too. Moving through the blue alleys, with the bright sun reflecting from the walls is a feeling somewhat like walking under a shallow blue sea, an amazing sensation. The markets are full of genuine, good quality local handicrafts, with styles not found elsewhere in Morocco; broad brightly coloured 'sombrero'-like hats, decorated with ornamental thread, hand-woven blankets in bright patterns and a range of woollen clothes. The town square, surrounded by restaurants and cafes where you may be able to sample the delicious local goat's cheese is another place to enjoy, sit down, relax and breath in the rich atmosphere. There are many other monuments to look at, including the 15th century Grande Mosque and the Place Mohammed park with it's stunning views of the Rif Mountains. At the end of the day you will be driven back to Fes and dropped off at your accommodation.

An extraordinary adventure
Nabil has been preparing our road trips for two years and again this year we were very satisfied with the riads reserved in Fez and Chefchaouen, they were very clean, beautiful and we were welcomed by adorable people. The breakfasts were hearty and delicious. Our driver Kamal was very professional and attentive. I recommend Nabil for your next trip to Morocco.

Thank you very much.
They stopped at photo spots and told me about the city while I was traveling. Since it is a private tour, I was able to hear a little bit of flexibility, which was very helpful. And it was a safe ride! I was able to book from Japan and go to Morocco with peace of mind. I'm also very good at getting in touch.
Response from the operator: Thank you for taking the time to write and post your feedback with Fes Desert Trips, we really appreciate it, We hope we showcase you the best of Morocco next time you decide a trip with us. Thank you again!

Amazing experience
Our driver was ready for us in the morning and was super helpful with stopping for anything we needed along the way, we stopped at a beautiful lake to take photos and again for some food. The blue city was an amazing experience that I would highly recommend to anyone visiting surrounding areas. The driver waited until we were ready and even stopped at a supermarket for us before we got home. 10/10 experience
Response from the operator: Thank you very much for choosing to use our services during your trip in Morocco and for taking the time to post your precious feedback about our company on TripAdvisor.

Highly Recommended
We used Fès Desert trips on our recent trip to Morocco. They picked us up from the airport, we did the one day walking trip in Fès, the day trip to Meknes and Volubilis and then the trip to Chefchaouen with a final transfer to Rabat. I cannot recommend them highly enough - we had the same driver (Ahmed) for 4 days who was charming, informative and always happy to stop when we wanted to take photos, have coffee or anything else. Our guide on the Fès day trip (Kaoutar) was fantastic; incredibly informative with a good sense of humour and again completely open to tailoring the day to us. The medina in Fès is a complete maze and it was essential to have a guide on our first day to help us get our bearings. I would really recommend this to all visitors. Finally Nabil who was our main contact and organiser - charming and incredibly helpful. One of our party was ill and we had to change our programme around - Nabil was incredibly flexible and accomodating and so we were all able to get the most out of our trip. Highly recommended tour company - they are happy to tailor trips to whatever you want and the people that we met were friendly, extremely courteous, informative and made our trip to Fès more enjoyable. Thank you so much!
Response from the operator: Thank you very much for sharing your experience with other people. We are very happy that you had a great time with us. The key difference between our company and most others is that we customize tours to meet your needs and our handpicked drivers and Kasbas/Riads to give our visitors an authentic experience of Morocco. Our main objective is that travelers enjoy our trips and we do everything possible to make them satisfied. Please accept our sincerest wishes and best regards.

Why this scores 57
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
CHEFCHAOUEN The Blue City - Private Day Trip from Fes: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Fez.
How much does CHEFCHAOUEN The Blue City - Private Day Trip from Fes cost?
+
Prices start at $200 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Fez usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does CHEFCHAOUEN The Blue City - Private Day Trip from Fes take?
+
Plan for about 4 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Fez is not rushed.
Is CHEFCHAOUEN The Blue City - Private Day Trip from Fes worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 57 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 7 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Fez, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule CHEFCHAOUEN The Blue City - Private Day Trip from Fes?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is CHEFCHAOUEN The Blue City - Private Day Trip from Fes suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book CHEFCHAOUEN The Blue City - Private Day Trip from Fes?
+
Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Fez can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Fez and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does CHEFCHAOUEN The Blue City - Private Day Trip from Fes start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Fez within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Fez?
+
On Outty we rank every Fez experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Day Trip to Chefchaouen from Fez ( instagram /Photos ), Fes to Marrakech: Merzouga & Ait Ben Haddou, 3 Days 2 Nights, 2 Days Desert Tour from Fes to Fes/Marrakech via Erg Chebbi. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Fez?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Fez?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
