Great guide for visiting the center of Fes! Very kind and speaks Italian well. 😁
Excellent guide with great Italian who showed us the real Fes and not just a tourist Fes. We visited places that are off the tourist paths, with explanations and anecdotes about what we saw.
Mahmood was an excellent guide, he made us experience the true Fes from all perspectives. He allows you to enter their daily life and provides an exciting experience. Thank you again Mahmood from our hearts, we recommend him to everyone and he speaks perfect Italian! A big hug from Enzo and Simo.

I had a great guide, Said. Thank you for the wonderful city tour. I can recommend it 100%. He was great.
Youseff was our guide for the Fes Medina. He was courteous and friendly, and very knowledgeable about the places he took us to see. He took us to a few cooperatives where the artisans are considered the very best and the products of the highest quality. He also talked intelligently about many historic places within the medina, recommended restaurants, and was always at our service. Overall he was an excellent guide.
