9,300 allies to navigate and Abdula Couscous made it a breeze! We got to see all the things you need to see in Fes, including the 5 key craftmanships! Abdula was full of fun facts, and even more fun jokes (including a sneaky math trick). Thanks for fully submerging us in the beauty which is Fes!

Exceptional tour with Abdul, who sub’d for Khalid at the last moment! And good to have Mohammed as a security detail. Very informative tour, snaking through the narrow alleyways of the souk, seeing the tanneries, textiles, metal smithing, fondouks, manresas, essence shops. It would have been impossible to do on our own. There are the obligatory stops in the shops, but we managed not to buy anything 😅

It’s always a pleasure to receive such kind feedback. We’re glad your experience with our guide was a success!
