5Best way to see Fes.
The best way to see Fes. We really enjoyed our walking tour of the Medina and genius sites in Fes. Yassin our guide was friendly and professional and provided the most interesting insight into all the historical sites and other places we asked about along the way . It was a highlight of our stay in Morocco .
5Perfect Fes tour
My adventure in Fes with Abdull as my guide was truly the highlight of my life. Although I am not very fluent in English, he spoke slowly and even used a translation app at times to share a wealth of information with me. Since he knows so many locals, it was a delight to interact with various people throughout the city beyond just Abdull himself. When visiting shops, there was no pressure to buy anything; he explained things politely to the shopkeepers, allowing me to browse with complete peace of mind. I would definitely want to join his tour again
5Fantastic tour!
Yasin was an amazing tour guide! He showed us all the historical places as well as behind the scenes locations for food and experiences. He even helped us haggle with the venders to help us get the best price possible. We highly recommend this tour.

Adil was the best tour guide, from the beginning he made me feel welcomed and by the end he felt like family. I was grateful for their flexibility and accommodations including airport pick up in order to get the most of my time on the tour in Fes.
5Amazing Fes tour
Our guide was Adil who was very knowledgable and informative about Fes and the local area. He picked us up from our riad exactly on time and made sure we had a very memorable experience. We didn’t feel rushed at all, he was happy to include whatever we wanted and answered all of our many questions about the Moroccan way of life and the people in a very personable way. His English was excellent. Would throughly recommend this tour and you would be very lucky to have Adil as your guide!
