We very much appreciated the visit given by Maadi. Maadi was excellent and introduced us to the history of Fez and its culture. We recommend it 100%. The visit was in English, but he speaks good French.
We advise 1000% Madhi He's great! Very good knowledge of Fez and clear explanations. Good communication with him You can trust him
Our guide took us through the entire medina of Fes in an impressive way, including hidden alleys off the beaten track. He effortlessly navigated the labyrinthine network of alleys and shared his extensive knowledge. He answered each of our questions with great expertise and exciting background information. In addition to the lively markets, we also explored important historical sites that gave us a deep insight into the history and culture of this fascinating city.
Madih is a great guide, the tour around Fes Medina with him was just perfect! I highly recommend taking it on the first day to get to know the history of Fes, the streets of Medina and hidden places that are hard to find on your own. As a person, who walked a bit around on the day before the tour, I can confirm that with the guide it was way more interesting and easier to navigate.
Fes is a bit of a maze so you need someone to show you around. Madih was a great guide and the price was excellent. we saw everything we really wanted to. the only thing I thought was strange was that he took us to very specific stalls and the prices were quite high/people weren't willing to negotiate prices as I had found that they would outside of Fes. so maybe he could be more transparent with why he chooses the stalls he does. I don't mind if they're his friends, etc but would be good to have an idea of that. otherwise very informative tour!
We enjoyed the tour in the Medina. The friendly Guide Madih has given a lot of explanation and showed us many beautiful places and let us taste different specialties. We ended tired but satisfied. Thanks Madih.
Madih was an amazing tour guide. I couldn't have managed to find half of the places that I wanted to see without his help, and he was super accommodating when I asked to see specific places. Having grown up in the Medina area, he is very knowledgeable on every single store and street, alongside a vast understanding of the history of Fes and Morocco.
Just the best experience in Morocco. We travelled through all of Morocco for 2 weeks but because of Madih’s tour and alle the insights, info and knowledge we had, we liked Fez the most. Highly recommend when you want to get true insight into Morocco’s culture and cuisine.
Madih has been an incredible guide! He showed us all about Fez and his explanations were great and they also helped us in the other medinas we visited. 100% recommendable!!
Madih took us on an amazing tour of Fez, showing us all the different areas with each of the famous trades, focussing in on elements we expressed interest in and surprising us with hidden gems and resting spots in-between the endless maze that is the Medina, which we absolutely loved. We had rented a car, so he even took us for a guide around the outskirts of the city with viewpoints and more specialist crafts, which was an unexpected and delightful bonus. We went on the travel around various points in Morocco and it was so easy to apply the information he gave us to understand those places better, plus he made great suggestions for places to visit, things to do and of course where to eat! 100% recommend!
