Mostafa was amazing guide!! He was not only knowledgeable he was also so kind and considerate He had a wry sense of humor too!
Thank you so much for your wonderful review We’re thrilled to hear that Mostafa made your trip enjoyable with his knowledge, kindness, and great sense of humor!
ABDELLATIF was our guide. They will pick you up in front of the hostel in the morning. Then we will ride his motorcycle around Fez. They covered all the famous tourist attractions, and it was great to take them to local areas that were not for tourists, and to get to know the real life and culture of the local people. ＊He also introduced me to a trusted clerk at Tanneri Chowalla.
Abde provided a relaxed and yet extremely knowledgeable tour of the Fes Medina. He facilitated access to inside buildings, talking to relevant locals, viewing traditional crafts to ensure a depth of insight understanding to the tour. Highly recommended.
The Fez Medina is large and easy to get lost in, but friendly, don't worry, but an overview tour is a great way to begin
We were fortunate to have guided tours with Fez Sahara tours! Chlava knew everything and every one in the Medina and gave us a great adventure. The next day Aziz took us out to Volubilius and showed us the countryside and surrounding villages. Professional and personable - I just cannot recommend Fez Sahara enough !
Had a great mini road trip through Fez accompanied by Seddik. He showed us the king's palace and 2 times a panorama view of 2 different points. He also took us to a place where they make ceramic stuff, here you can see the whole process. Seddik is a top man!
Aziz was a wonderful guide! He planned the perfect day for us in the Medina, and landed us in a charming riad to rest. All the pleasures of a beautiful, new experience without any of the stress.
A very well-preserved Medina, watching its artisans work in its streets, the Mood that is breathed by its streets, the kindness of its people. Without a doubt the Medina of Fez is one of the ones I liked the most on my tour of the Imperial cities of Morocco
Communication via Trip advisor site to the company was quite poor prior to our trip, I had not wanted to telephone Morocco as it would have cost a fortune. Having said this our guide arrived at our hotel on time and provided us with a fantastic tour of the markets and streets of Fez. We were limited on time as we had a trin to catch in the afternoon, but our guide ensured that we were back at our hotel in plenty of time. The tor does of course include visiting the tanneries, carpet shops, Hamman etc where you may feel encouraged to buy something, however we did not feel hassled or forced at any point. We paid extra to have pick up and drop off back to our hotel which was outside the medina. This cost 50MAD each way (less than £10 total) totally worth it. Great value for money. Fez is a beautiful place and having visited Rabat and Marrakech I would say it was my favorite market experience. The experience was made so much easier with a guide to navigate the labyrinth of streets, I'm not sure I would have wanted to do this without one!!
The guide is a nice man and we learned a lot about the culture of Fez’s Médina. However, they need to be upfront about this being a “shopping tour” rather than a guided tour. The guide took us to at least 8 different shops where the owners would aggressively try to sell overpriced stuff; one instance, we (2 college kids) were taken to buy $700 carpets! I believe the guide gets a commission every time one of his tourists buys something. This seems to be the case on all tours. Also don’t listen to their food recommendation, you will get ripped off by subpar overpriced food that’s 4x the price of what it should be. If you don’t want to get hustled, take another tour.
