Private Full Day Tour of Chefchaouen from Malaga

About this tour

A 12-hour private excursion from Málaga across the Strait of Gibraltar to Morocco's celebrated blue city. You'll depart early from your hotel, cross by ferry to Tangier, then drive inland to Chefchaouen where a local guide leads a three-hour exploration of the medina's cobalt-washed streets and layered history. The return journey retraces your steps through Tangier and back to Spain by evening. Passport required and must be valid for Morocco entry.

Highlights

• Wander Chefchaouen's iconic blue-painted medina and riads
• Tangier stopover: ancient port city bridging Europe and Africa
• Private vehicle and guide throughout Moroccan leg
• Ferry crossing the Strait of Gibraltar both ways
• Hotel pickup and drop-off from Málaga base

What to expect

You'll be collected from your Málaga accommodation around 8:30am and driven to Algeciras port. After a ferry crossing to Tangier, a guide and driver meet you for the scenic drive south into the Rif Mountains. Once in Chefchaouen, you'll have roughly three hours to navigate the narrow blue-painted streets, visit local workshops, and absorb the layered cultural influences—Berber, Arab, Jewish, and European—that shaped this place. The return leg mirrors the outbound route: back through Tangier, ferry across the strait, and a transfer returning you to Málaga by evening. The day involves considerable travel time; the actual time spent in Chefchaouen itself is limited.

Good to know

Bring a valid passport; it will be stamped by Moroccan authorities. Ferry and land transfers are included; meals and drinks are not. Groups of 2–6 travel in a private car; larger parties use a minibus. Infant car seats available on request. Suitable for most fitness levels, though the medina involves hills and uneven paving.
