Bus from Fes to Chefchaouen
Dar Seffarine says: 'It is not possible to buy bus tickets online with foreign card. When you arrive Fes, stop by the station to buy the tickets. The day you leave, we can order a taxi to pick you up from the house to take you to the station, this is 100 MAD. If you prefer to go to the nearest gate by yourself to get a red Petit taxi it is less expensive.'
