Fez medina, with someone who lives in it
The tanneries from the right terrace at the right hour, the metalworkers' square, and the parts of Fes el Bali that don't appear on the map you were given.
Private departure · from Fez 
Blue city & the middle Atlas
Chefchaouen is a day trip for most people, which is exactly why it's full at noon and empty at seven. This route gives it two nights, and gives Fez a guide who knows which door to knock on.

Cedar forests → Chefchaouen
North through the middle Atlas, Barbary macaques in the cedars if they're in the mood, then into the blue city after the day-trippers have gone.

Chefchaouen, early and late
The lanes at seven in the morning when they're yours, the Spanish mosque at sunset, and the hours in between doing nothing in particular.

Questions people ask before enquiring
No. You get the written plan and a price range for your dates with nothing to pay and no card details. Most people ask two or three rounds of questions before deciding — that's normal and welcome.
Private. Your own vehicle, your own driver-guide, your own start time each morning. We cap every trip at eight guests and most are two.
Yes, and we'd rewrite the route rather than bolt it on. Shorter drives, flatter stops, later starts. Tell us who's coming and the plan comes back shaped around them.
Not if you want to see it without crowds — that only happens before nine and after six, which a day trip misses entirely. One night works; two is the version we'd book ourselves.
