What a fantastic introduction to Fes; including the new and old parts of the city which culminates in a walkthrough the medina with all its rich history amongst the complex streets and trade. Our guide Said has a depth of knowledge unrivalled as he explained the changes during the centuries of Fes and also Morocco. An excellent tour which is highly recommended and will make sure you get the best of the medina without getting lost.

We enjoyed it very much. I really liked that Kamal took into consideration our requests for skipping some stops (because we've been to too many similar coops on guided tours in other cities), brought us to a local spot for lunch because we just wanted a sandwich. Really informative tour. It really isn't tiring!

We had a lovely experience. Our guide Ahmed is a cheerful and helpful man full of energy, proud of Fez. He is probably the best tour guide in Fez. We had a lot of fun and learned many things. This tour is perfect for getting an overall view of Fez, with a focus on the medina ofcourse. On your own, it is impossible to see the whole medina and its surroundings, let alone find your way in the medina. Therefore, I can really recommend this tour! To the team: thanks again from Abdul, Basma, and Jamila (Gregory, Lieselotte, and Laurence).
