We had an amazing day and learned so much about the city! The private tour was very well organized: we got picked up at our dar/hotel for a tour of the old Medina with our guide Yassin. He explained first what he was planning on showing us and checked with us what our preferences and interests were. During the tour in addition to the information related Fes itself,he answered other general questions we had about contemporary matters of the country. Yassin one the Medina like the back of his hand so he took us through alleys and sites of not mentioned in tourist guidebooks. The company also arranged for us to get picked up at the end of the walking tour, for a tour by car ( big comfortable can) in which we had loaded our baggage il veut morning open checking out of. We were guided through the new part of town with photo or walking stops at places of interest, before we were dropped off at the train station. I really liked this level of customization. Hamza , the owner, was our guide for this second part of our day and he made sure we saw everything we wished. At the last minute I made the request of stopping at a patisserie for cornes de gazelle, and he knew the perfect place with the best ones in town.
