A bit slow and hard to follow at times.
Salim was very polite and knowledgeable of Morrocco. He took us places we likely would not have been on our own. There was no pressure to buy things. Our Tour had 12 people, with 3 languages spoken. While Salim did an impressive job of shifting between 3 languages, the need to do so made this Tour very slow, hard to follow at times and what we covered could have been accomplished in a fraction of the time. The description of this Tour did list the 3 languages but I assumed there would be different groups based on language. I have never purchased a Tour on viator that was done this way and if I knew this, I would not have purchased and looked for a private guide.

Thank you very much for your feedback. I truly appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. I’m glad you enjoyed the places we visited and the cultural insights, and I’m sorry to hear that the multilingual format made the tour feel slow at times As a guide, I always do my best to offer a pleasant and informative experience for everyone, and your comments help me continue improving. I completely understand your point of view, and I will make sure to communicate even more clearly about the tour format in the future.

Salim, the great.
Salim is a person who lives for his clients. He knows the history and ins and outs of the city very well. He takes you to workshops, shops and other places you wouldn't visit if you didn't visit him. Fully recommended.

We hired his services...
We hired his services because of the mention that he is a Portuguese speaker but we really regret. He charged us 30€ more just to share one information (where to see 🐪 in Fès - it's called Obripark if you want to go without paying for the info. 1 hour tour with the 🐪 20€). He knows the historical places, this is true. We weren't interested in shopping and we informed when starting the tour, but he continued going on their associate shops and he really got angry when we didn't buy anything, calling us cheapskate in arabic thinking that I was not able to understand. As he was not available on the first day that we arrived, we walked alone and we already bought stuff, so we knew the overall prices and his shops are not the best. Not sure if he's an official guide as we never see his id (the official guides have their id in a lane easy view all the time). Must be patient to enjoy the tour.

Thank you for your feedback, even if it does not reflect the reality of our tour. I always do my best to provide a high-quality experience. I never forced any purchases and respected your preferences as much as possible. You asked for a private tour while booking a group tour, and I kindly adapted the program for your mother’s condition without extra charge. As for my professionalism, I am an official licensed guide with 28 years of experience, and my ID badge (alredy sent to Tripadvisor) Region (Fes) available. I’m sorry the experience didn’t meet your expectations, and I wish you all the best.

Fes Medina Tour with Salim
We chose Salim for a guided tour of the labyrinthine Medina of Fez. Salim is a perfect guide: he is the boss of the Medina! He knows everyone and with him you feel safe, you don't get stormed by vendors and people who want to accompany you everywhere and you can enjoy the tour in peace. He introduced us to the points of interest and also less touristic areas very beautiful and particular, explaining everything with great attention and with good Italian! He also took us to see a bakery where they baked bread, we drank Moroccan "grandmother's" coffee and ate a great fish tajine in a restaurant not frequented by tourists. He even bought kibble to give to the many stray cats we found around:) Thanks Salim, you made us discover and appreciate Fes a lot: without you it would not have been the same!

Best tour guide ❤️
I couldn’t fault our tour with Salim, he was so well educated and I felt thoroughly taught after our morning with him! Salim seemed to be a well known and was a very honest any witty 😂❤️ he was more than accommodating to our needs and spoke very good English for us, I loved the fact he shared his personal life with us too felt like we got to known him slightly and not to mention his vast knowledge of football btw!! He is a gem of a man an definitely gave a fantastic tour, although we did the half tour it was definitely more than enough for me as the whole madina experience was slightly over whelming due to how crowded and busy it was! I did enjoy trying some street food and Salim also treated jim to a Moroccan coffee! We had a delightful morning with Salim I couldn’t recommend a more passionate person to give a tour of the medina ❤️
