Beautiful tour through the old city of Fez!
Guide Mohammed was very familiar with the old town of Fez. He showed us beautiful places, but sometimes we felt like he was taking us to his friends, but he also knew many people. Saw a lot and he was very helpful. He also helped us find the apartment and also called the owner. We rewarded him directly for his day with us. He was on the road with us for over 5 hours. Incredible, he himself didn't seem tired but we were quite exhausted after all the steps and impressions. Thanks Mohammed for this experience!

We had a wonderful tour...
We had a wonderful tour of Fes with our guide, Ahmed. He was absolutely amazing! He took us throughout the old Medina, showing us places we never would have discovered on our own, while also giving us a fascinating history lesson along the way. Ahmed was incredibly knowledgeable and really brought the history and culture of Fes to life. We learned so much while exploring the winding streets of the Medina, and he made the entire experience interesting, enjoyable, and memorable. The tour company was also extremely professional from start to finish. Communication was excellent, and we really appreciated being picked up and dropped off right at our hotel. It made the entire experience so easy and took the headache out of navigating and traveling around Fes on our own. If you’re visiting Fes and want to truly experience the city, its history, and the old Medina without having to worry about the logistics, I highly recommend this tour—and especially Ahmed as your guide. It was definitely one of the highlights of our visit!

Super tour through the medina of Fez
We did the tour with Karim and were not disappointed! He really has a great deal of knowledge about Fez and explained everything to us in a super interesting and understandable way. He was totally open, we could ask questions at any time, and we also had a great conversation with him. We saw various great and beautiful spots. He led us through the alleys and took us to various places that we would not have seen on our own. We really saw, learned, and took away a great deal. It was a really beautiful and interesting experience, during which we were able to get to know Fez and the medina in a completely different way. Karim was super nice and we felt very comfortable. We would definitely do the tour again and can definitely recommend it!! Tea time in the souk with him was a great experience. Thank you very much, Karim!
