Private Guided Tour in Fez Medina

A magnificent journey with Ahmed, a wonderful guide of extreme kindness. He works hard to satisfy everyone and ensure that everything goes well. A big thank you 😉

Great information.. nice sights of Fez old Medina, lots of info from the Koran that was interesting.

Ahmed promptly arrived for pickup in a roomy and comfortable car. His in-depth knowledge of Fes’ rich history was very rewarding. This was our first full day of a week long visit to Fes and we wanted to take advantage early on. He wisely started our walk at the highest point of the Medina so as to make walking downhill easier. Even with that, comfortable shoes and clothes we were completely spend. The copper souks, tannery, narrow streets and schools were the highlights. There were so many other interesting places and people we visited like a hamam, some opulent Mosques, and neighborhood ovens. Like being in your own favorite movie, adventure, time travel to the past all rolled into one. Highly recommended.

We had a very beautiful visit today, rich with all the explanations and comments from Ahmed, our friendly guide full of anecdotes! If you can, take this visit on a Friday, as you will have plenty of time to see all the entrances to the monuments and to move freely through the small alleys. Do not hesitate for a single moment!

We spent two days touring the Fez medina with Ahmed, and we’re glad we did. He’s kind, polite, flexible, and full of fun facts about life in Morocco — everything from how people live in the medina to the realities of work, family, and daily routines. He shared pieces of his own story as well, which made the experience feel more personal and grounded. Ahmed is an excellent navigator of the medina’s complexity. He gave us confidence to explore on our own later, and he answered every question we threw at him — cultural, historical, religious, practical. He never rushed us, and he adjusted the pace and route based on what we were interested in. A few things future travelers should know, not about Ahmed specifically but about how guiding works in Fez: You will be taken into some shops. This is standard practice for all guides in Morocco — there’s a commission system, and it’s part of the ecosystem. If you’re not interested in fabrics, rugs, leather, or lamps, just say so. Ahmed is very respectful when you’re clear about your preferences. If you are interested in buying something, tell him. He can help you negotiate, and you should never accept the first price. Walking out is normal; it’s part of the dance. Remember you’re not obligated to buy anything. Think of it as an educational stop unless you decide otherwise. We did learn a lot about fabrics, rugs, and leather and we appreciated that. If you want a tour focused purely on history, architecture, religion, or photography — say it upfront. Ahmed will tailor the day to you as best he can. What we appreciated most was Ahmed’s openness. He talked about his life, his hopes, his family, and the realities of living in the medina. Those conversations were some of the most memorable parts of our time in Fez. Overall, Ahmed is a thoughtful and knowledgeable guide, and spending two days with him enriched our trip. Go in with a sense of curiosity, be clear about what you want to see (and what you don’t), and you’ll have a great experience. We originally just booked one day with Ahmed but liked him so much we added a second day. Our visit to Fez was really enhanced by the time we spent with Ahmed. Thank you Ahmed!

Guide was very knowledgeable and made the tour fun. He definitely knew his way, born and raised, and gave plenty of info. We would totally do this again!

I did a few hours tour of the old medina yesterday and it was absolutely FANTASTIC ! I loved everything about it - the people, the vibe, the shops, the smell… ALL OF IT! I would highly recommend it to anyone even if you are a Moroccan like me. It was really fascinating! Ahmad is extremely welcoming , accommodating and professional. He also speaks English with perfect clarity Highly recommend him

I travelled to Fes with my mom and we did the full day tour with Ahmed. It was absolutely fantastic! The day was pretty full on and we covered a lot of ground. We went to the Royal palace, the Royal gardens, the Jewish quarter, multiple lookout points and the Medina to just name a few. The shopping was incredible and admittedly, I spent way too much money buying souvenirs throughout the day. Ahmed helped with negotiations and recommended the best places to buy leather, ceramics and prickly pear oil! Ahmed was super knowledgeable. I am a bit of a history nerd and he kept me engaged all day, teaching me fun facts about Morocco, Fes and Islam. At the same time, my mom is not into history and he managed to keep her engaged all day as well which was excellent. I highly recommend booking with Ahmed! You will have a great day and learn a lot about Morrocco and Fes!

Ahmed was a great guide! Not only was he knowledgeable about the history, but he also gave us great recommendations for local treats, places to visit, and good food! I highly recommend having him show you around Fes.

Our guide was excellent telling us about the history of major sites, the culture, and interesting details as well as showing us the various crafts people at work. He answered all our questions and made the tour most enjoyable and rewarding.
