Fire host, great hotel and over all great experience.
We had the chance to visit the Medina of Fez (Fez el-Bali) with this guide, and the experience was exceptional. He was able to adapt the visit to our pace, while making the explanations clear, interesting and lively for adults and children alike. His in-depth knowledge of history, artisans and authentic places made the tour unique. He was also very attentive to our comfort and safety, which is particularly appreciated in such a rich and lively place. Thanks to him, we discovered places we would never have found alone. We recommend this guide without hesitation to any family wishing to discover the medina in a rewarding, human and professional way.
