5Great guide fir the Fes Medina
Youseff was our guide for the Fes Medina. He was courteous and friendly, and very knowledgeable about the places he took us to see. He took us to a few cooperatives where the artisans are considered the very best and the products of the highest quality. He also talked intelligently about many historic places within the medina, recommended restaurants, and was always at our service. Overall he was an excellent guide.
