The experience

Your driver arrives at 8 am for the drive to Chefchaouen. The town sits in mountainous terrain and the Medina, the old walled quarter, is what makes it distinct: the buildings are washed in blue, a color that covers the walls, doors and shutters so completely that the whole quarter reads as one shade. It's small enough to walk in a day, which is what the itinerary does.

Once in town, you move through the Medina on foot, then climb to Ras el-Maa Waterfall at the top: the source the operator calls the most famous place in Chefchaouen. On the way down or up, you pass the Spanish mosque, which overlooks the Medina from near the waterfall. Place Outa el Hammam, the central square, sits in the heart of the Medina and is where you can stop for coffee or just sit in the atmosphere. The Kasbah Museum is located here too, and you can enter it if the day allows. The driver waits and brings you back to your hotel at the end.

This is a private tour, so the pace is yours and the driver is yours alone. The car is air-conditioned. Food and drinks are not included, so you'll buy them in the town itself: coffee at the square, lunch at one of the small restaurants in the Medina.
