We had a fantastic tour with our guide Adil. He met us at our riad and we set off on an amazing walking history tour. He listened when we said shopping wasn’t our interest and while we stopped by shops to see the beautiful wares, we moved on quickly. He patiently waited as we absorbed (slowly!) the interesting exhibits at the museums we went into. We saw everything!! All the while he made the Medina come alive with his knowledge and anecdotes. The owner Imad was also amazing - flexible when we asked to make some changes and so helpful along the way. This tour company made our stay in Fes so special. They are truly top notch. Book with them! Highly recommended!

I highly recommend Imad and his company Mystique Tours. From the moment of booking, Imad was highly responsive and helpful. After the tour, he sent a list of places we told Hicham we wanted to go back to so they was easy to find. As for our walking tour of Fez with Hicham, it was a splendid experience. Hicham was friendly, knowledgeable and because he grew up in the neighborhood had many friends along our route. He taught us so much about the structures, foods and etiquette in Fez. He was so attentive and at times altered his route based on our interests. This was the perfect activity to do on the first day in Morocco.

Over the 4 hours, we visited all the major highlights listed in the itinerary, including Bab Bou Jeloud, Nejjarine Museum, a public bakery, the Al-Qarawiyyin area, Chouara Tannery, the dyeing souk, and several traditional artisan workshops. Ahmed shared fascinating insights into the history, architecture, culture, and everyday life of Fez, making the Medina much easier to understand and appreciate. He speaks excellent English, has a great sense of humor, and always checked whether I needed a break or wanted to skip any workshop visits. Although the tour included several artisan shops, I never felt any pressure to buy anything, and every purchase was entirely my own choice. If you’re visiting Fez for the first time and want to understand the Medina beyond what you can learn on your own, I highly recommend Ahmed.

Adil was a top-notch guide for our private tour of the Medina of Fez! He picked us up promptly at our Riad, was very friendly and knowledgeable - as he was raised in the Medina, he was able to provide a true local flavor, showing key historical sites us well as places and souks pertinent to our interests. Adil’s knowledge of English made it easy to converse, and his passion to share places, facts, stories and friends from his home town made us feel very very welcomed. We made a new friend in Fez! 👍👍👍👍👍

Our friend group had a great experience with Adil. A guided tour through the Medina is a MUST-DO as the streets are very complicated. Amazing value for money. We would definitely book again!

Adil is an exceptionally good tour guide. His knowledge was outstanding, and he was happy to take any questions. He was happy to customize the tour to what we needed. Bring good walking shoes, and don't be afraid to ask questions.
