The experience

The ferry leaves Spain for Tangier, where your driver meets you at the terminal to begin the private guided tour. From there, the route follows the Atlantic coast through Asilah (a whitewashed artists' town with restored medina streets) before turning inland toward Fes. The first major stop is Volubilis, a UNESCO World Heritage Site holding some of North Africa's best-preserved Roman ruins and mosaics. After lunch, you continue to Meknes, the former Imperial City, then overnight in a 4-star or 5-star riad in Fes.

Day two is a full walking tour of Fes's medina, the most complete medieval city in the Arab world. The guide leads you through narrow streets lined with spice stalls and woven carpets to the Leather Tanneries, Medersa Attarine, the Karaouine Mosque, and the Moulay Idriss II Shrine. You'll see the Royal Palace, Fes El Jedid, the Jewish quarter, the potters' district, and the Bleu Gate of Boujloud. After lunch, the route continues south to Chefchaouen in the Rif Mountains, where you overnight in another 4-star or 5-star riad.

The final morning begins with a city tour of Chefchaouen, the holy city with its signature powder-blue houses and lime-washed doors. You visit the local markets, animated with traditionally dressed vendors and colorful goods, then end at the Ras el-Maa waterfall: the spring that supplies the city's fresh water. From there, the drive returns to Tangier and the ferry crossing back to Spain. The minivan is air-conditioned throughout, and a bilingual driver provides commentary in English, Spanish, French, or Arabic.

Live guide in English, Spanish, French and Arabic.

What happens if it rains?

It may be canceled due to bad weather. If that happens, you're offered another date or a refund. Free cancellation up to 72 h before the start.

What's included in the 3-day Morocco tour from Spain?

Round-trip ferry tickets between Spain and Morocco, two nights' accommodation in a 4-star or 5-star riad, private transport by air-conditioned minivan, and a bilingual driver escort are all included. Food and drinks outside specified meals, plus gratuities, are separate.

Do I need to arrange my own ferry crossing to Morocco?

No. Round-trip ferry tickets from Spain to Tangier and back are part of the tour package. Your driver meets you at the Tangier terminal when you arrive.

What is Volubilis and why is it on the itinerary?

Volubilis is a UNESCO World Heritage Site holding some of North Africa's most important Roman ruins and well-preserved mosaics. It's a private guided stop on day one between the coast and Fes, offering a historical anchor to the journey through Morocco's past.

Is the Fes medina tour walking-only, or does transport help?

The Fes medina tour is a walking tour through the narrow streets, but the minivan takes you between major districts like the Royal Palace, Fes El Jedid, and the potters' quarter. The guide leads you on foot through the tanneries, shrines, and markets inside the medina itself.

What makes Chefchaouen different from Fes?

Chefchaouen is a holy city in the Rif Mountains known for its powder-blue and lime-washed houses, local markets with traditionally dressed vendors, and the Ras el-Maa waterfall: a natural spring that supplies the city's water. It's smaller and more intimate than Fes, with a distinct mountain setting and spiritual character.

Can I pick between the 4-star and 5-star riad options?

Yes. You choose your accommodation level at checkout: both options are 4-star or 5-star riads in Fes and Chefchaouen, and the rest of the tour (transport, guide, itinerary) remains the same.
