Visit Chefchaouen, a beautiful blue door and white-walled medina that was originally a Berber post. The main square is the heart of Chefchaouen, with the 18th-century kasbah, a central mosque, and cafes with authentic Moroccan-style menus. The market is a mix of traditional Moroccan and tourist souvenirs – it’s often very busy, but worth a visit for the bargains. On your walking tour with your guide, explore the kasbah which was built by Moulay Ismail and is now practically a ruin next to the Great Mosque. Visit the charming main square and the souks that sell an array of goods. If you head to the Jewish quarter behind the jewelry souk, you will feel the difference between it and the main Arabic feel of the town. Enjoy a small hike to discover the small waterfalls of Akchour, a natural beauty . A local tour guide is provided at Akchour.

    A great day out.

    A great day out. Youness was a very skilled, polite, and punctual driver. The Blue Village was beautiful, and the guide was informative and humorous. She also recommended a restaurant at the end of the tour, which served wonderful food. The waterfalls are lovely and the swim was a perfect end to the day. It was also great to see how Moroccon families enjoy their own nature. The mountains are spectacular.

    False Advertising

    The description is very different from the experience. The itinerary makes it seem like we will hike Akchour waterfalls and see the Bridge of the God when neither of those things happen. It also makes it seem that we will visit the waterfalls first, then drive to Chefchaouen when it happened in reverse, which is why we couldn't hike to the Bridge of the Gods or the waterfalls. They said there wasn't enough time after we got there after Chefchaouen, which wouldn't have happened if they followed the itinierary THEY sent me. False advertising and not worth the price. The guides are nice and the vehicle is very nice as well, with good air conditioning and bottled water. That is the only plus.

    Response from the operator: Dear Isabelle, Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We are very happy to hear that you enjoyed our nice guides, as well as the comfortable vehicle, air conditioning, and complimentary bottled water. We understand your frustration when an experience doesn't match your expectations, but we would like to gently clarify a few points regarding the tour you booked, as we strictly followed our advertised schedule: Order of the Itinerary: You mentioned that the itinerary gave the impression that the waterfalls would be visited first, followed by Chefchaouen. However, our official itinerary clearly lists Chefchaouen Medina as the first two steps of the day, followed by Akchour as the third and final destination. Scope of the Hike: You also expressed disappointment about not hiking to the Bridge of God or the larger waterfalls. Our tour description explicitly states that the Akchour portion of the trip is an allotted 1 hour and 30 minutes for a "small hike to discover the small waterfalls". The full hike to the Bridge of God is a significantly longer trek that simply cannot be accommodated on a combined day trip with Chefchaouen. We apologize that there was a misunderstanding regarding the tour description, but we assure you that there was no false advertising, and our team delivered exactly what was outlined. We appreciate your feedback and hope you had a wonderful remainder of your time in Morocco.

    From Tangier: Day Trip to Chefchaouen and Akchour Waterfalls: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Tangier.

    How much does From Tangier: Day Trip to Chefchaouen and Akchour Waterfalls cost?

    +

    Prices start at $74 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Tangier usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does From Tangier: Day Trip to Chefchaouen and Akchour Waterfalls take?

    +

    Plan for about 10 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 Tangier is not rushed.

    Is From Tangier: Day Trip to Chefchaouen and Akchour Waterfalls worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 81 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 83 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Tangier, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule From Tangier: Day Trip to Chefchaouen and Akchour Waterfalls?

    +

    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 From Tangier: Day Trip to Chefchaouen and Akchour Waterfalls suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 10-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book From Tangier: Day Trip to Chefchaouen and Akchour Waterfalls?

    +

    Around 29 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 Tangier 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 Tangier and add a light layer if any part of the 10-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does From Tangier: Day Trip to Chefchaouen and Akchour Waterfalls 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 Tangier 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 Tangier?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Tangier experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include From Tangier Private Full Day-Trip to Chefchaouen, 7 days Tour from Tangier to Marrakech Morocco Tours, 3h Private Walking Tour in Tangier Kasbah Medina & Colorful Souks. 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 Tangier?

    +

    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 Tangier?

    +

    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.
