Pickup in Tangier

Xauen picks up at hotels, guesthouses and apartments that a car can reach. If you stay inside the medina, you meet at a nearby central point, usually Hotel Continental, Bab Kasbah or Grand Socco. The classic Chefchaouen trip leaves around nine and is back around seven in the evening; the Asilah trip collects at about nine from your hotel, the port or the airport.

Guide or driver

On the three Chefchaouen trips a local guide walks with you; on the Tetouan trip you have a guide in both towns. The short Cap Spartel trip has a multilingual driver and lists a licensed guide as not included, and on the Asilah trip the guide joins only for the medina of Asilah. If you need Spanish or another language, pick it on the option: two Spanish-speaking travellers on the Cap Spartel trip ended up in an English-speaking group.

What you pay on the day

Lunch is not included on any Xauen trip. On the Cap Spartel trip the tickets for the Hercules Caves and the cape are paid on site, and on the Asilah trip the cave ticket. The camel ride is included on both half days. The Chefchaouen trip lists itself as not suitable for wheelchair users.

The drive

The road to Chefchaouen takes about two hours each way over the Rif, with a coffee stop on the way out. In the reviews below, travellers praise their drivers and guides by name, and one mentions tight legroom in the front row.
