Excellent private tour. Opted to not have tourguide pick us up and drive us to the port, but our ferry tickets were waiting for us when we arrived and were easy to obtain. Driver, Abdul, did an exceptional job. He picked us up right outside ferry in Tangier. Vehicle was a spacious SUV with AC. Immediately started touring. Abdul was very personable and gave us a unique view of Morocco. He stopped whenever we wanted to take a photo or take in a view, and had answers to all of our questions about the country (whether about agriculture, city infrastructure, culture, religion, etc.). Ruins of Volubilis were incredible. Just like being in Pompeii but without the crowds (private tour guide here). Lunch was great. Lamb and pita at a local spot. Then on to Fes which was a bit of a long ride, but it was very cool and interesting to see all the villages along the way. Fes was a city unlike anything else we had seen. Narrow streets that can only fit one person at a time and larger streets with vendors on both sides and donkeys running through the middle! Hotel was amazing, a Moroccan palace. Had dinner at the hotel, which was outstanding. Next morning had a private tour with a local, taking us throughout the city. Don't recall his name, but very knowledgable, friendly, and passionate about the culture of his city. He took us to tanneries, pottery shops, spice shops, rug shops, etc. Items were a bit pricier in these places, so we bought some stuff at these locations but also did our own shopping as well. Then on to Chefchaouen, the blue city. Again, amazing landscapes and beautiful scenery as we drove. Hotel was very nice, but not as amazing as the one in fes. Still, the rooms were clean and staff were friendly. Found dinner wandering the streets and able to buy a bunch of things along the streets as there are small shops everywhere. Then the next morning, a local (also named Abdul) took us around the city for an excellent and informative 2 hour tour where we were able to take in the culture and the history of the city. We navigated the blue streets, taking photos everywhere and climbed to the top of the mountain for beautiful views. Then our driver picked us up, we toured Tangier a bit more, and were dropped off right at the ferry terminal in time for our departure. Beautiful country, beautifully organized tour, highly recommend.
