I will never forget our tour with Khalid. I'm from Argentina, and Fes felt like such a mysterious and unfamiliar place to me at first. Coming from a very different culture and society, I was a bit apprehensive about what to expect. But everything changed when we met Khalid on our second day. From the moment he greeted us, Khalid's warmth and genuine hospitality stood out. He didn’t just take us to the most amazing places in Fes; he shared the city's rich history, traditions, and culture with such passion and detail that we couldn't help but fall in love with it. Khalid has a way of making you feel completely at home, even in a place that initially felt so foreign. What impressed me the most was how respectful and welcoming he was. He opened his heart to us, making the experience not just about sightseeing but about truly understanding and appreciating the soul of Fes. By the end of our time with Khalid, my initial fear had completely transformed into admiration and love for the city. If you're visiting Fes, do yourself a favor and book a tour with Khalid. He doesn’t just guide you through the city—he makes you feel like you're a part of it. Thank you, Khalid, for an unforgettable experience!
I know that if we had not known the medina of Fes with Khalid, I would not have fallen in love with this place as I did. A place full of crafts, good people, history and small streets with many colors and smells.
Khalid was the perfect guide for our family of three (two adults and a pre-teen). As someone who was born and raised in the Medina, his knowledge of the Medina’s ins and outs are unmatched. He is well known and respected by many people; therefore, we were never hard pressured to buy anything. His tour style is a wonderful mix of history, culture and entertainment, which worked great for us given our differing levels of knowledge and interest. Unfortunately, we had to end our tour early due to an illness of one of our family member’s; however, despite the early departure, I felt we received the full value of the tour. I would highly recommend Khalid if you are looking for an authentic and well conducted Fes Medina tour. 5 stars!
hi rachell thank you very much i hope you the best see you soon in fes
Khalid (our guide) was the most incredible tour guide we have ever had on any trip abroad. He is not only extremely knowledgeable but also so kind. He conducted the entire tour at such a great pace and he gave us the best history of Fes and the 3 major areas. We would highly recommend this tour as a great first day in Fes as it’s the perfect introduction and allows anyone to feel at home in this amazing city! Thank you so much, Khalid!
Khalid is an excellent guide, explains every detail of the places you visit, answers questions with extensive information, conveys a lot of confidence, experience and warmth. He can see that he enjoys his work and does it with great enthusiasm. Getting to know Fez with him is an experience you can’t miss.
Abas was INCREDIBLE! He was my partner and I's private guide for two days and made the entire experience magical. We jokingly called him the "Mayor of the Medina" because he knew people everywhere we went, and everyone seems to love him. He was warm, funny and knowledgable of the entire area and it's history. Since he grew up in the Medina, he not only knew his way around, but he also had the best recommendations for food – our best meals were with him. I would absolutely recommend him for any tour of Fes, and will use him again the next time we visit.
We had a great visit to the Medina of Fez thanks to Khalid! He was able to combine humor , history of Morocco , anecdotes and a smile to make us spend an exceptional time! By adapting to all our requests in heavy heat (42 degrees) I highly recommend
Khalid even before arriving in Morocco, in Fes reserved everything we wanted to do (Hammam, visit with him) he is very welcoming, warm, helpful and very precise during visits. I highly recommend Khalid. Thanks again for everything and see you soon.
An excellent guide, very funny and perfectly adapted to everything we wanted to do. Very good level of Spanish. One of the best guides I've ever met.
