Half Day Guided Tour in Fez Medina

Bouchta was very patient and very knowledgeable. At the end, we enjoyed a nice talk over some tea. Totally recommended.

A week ago we took the tour of Fez with our guide Habdil. It was a beautiful tour: in addition to seeing the main attractions of Fez, he took us by taxi to the upper part of the Medina and then we walked through it, stopping at some really interesting spots. We were left with impressions of experiences that we could only have with him, such as entering a neighborhood bakery or a home-style "pasticceria" where women prepare sweets for the locals. Moreover, he is very knowledgeable and competent in the historical and religious explanations of the city. He speaks Italian very well and was very attentive to our requests throughout the tour, even taking us to a typical place to eat and to clean restrooms. We definitely recommend Habdil as a guide: he will help you appreciate Fez even more.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Amazing Private Tour: History, Craft, and Culture Up Close We booked a 90-minute private tour and it was absolutely outstanding. Our guide was friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate about the city’s history and craftsmanship. We said at the start that we were not interested in shopping, and he made sure the entire tour stayed focused on learning and culture with no pressure or sales. We visited historic doors, the oldest university with its carpentry museum, bridal woodwork, tapestry and fabric workshops, and the copper-making district where artisans shaped and polished each piece by hand. The highlight was the Choara Tannery, where we even got to step onto the floor for a close-up look at the colorful dye pools and centuries-old process. We also met a local botanist who shared amazing knowledge about regional plants and natural dyes. Every stop felt thoughtful and authentic. If you want a cultural experience without shopping pressure, this tour is perfect!

I can’t even begin to explain what an incredible time we had with Amine in Fez. He was so kind, intelligent, and gave us a perspective on local life that we never expected. Walking with him through the maze of the medina was unforgettable—we learned so much and saw places we never would have found on our own. He even took us to hidden gems off the usual tourist path, including a refreshing break for mint tea with the sweetest local man. Amine went above and beyond, even arranging for the leather goods I purchased at the tannery to be shipped home safely. He also recommended the perfect guide for our desert trip, which was another amazing experience. Born and raised in Morocco, Amine knows Fez and the country inside out. He has a gift for explaining history and culture with clarity, humour, and warmth. I will definitely be returning to Morocco, and when I do, I’ll absolutely reach out to Amine again. He is amazing!

We did our half-day tour through the Medina with Amin. He was incredible from start to finish. Amin took us to local shops where the shop owners were giving us demonstrations of their craft while letting us browse in ease. The spots that we went to, even for lunch were not touristy at all and the food was absolutely incredible and we felt like locals. It felt like such a genuine experience exploring the Medina with someone who truly cares about providing you with the best experience. Amin was full of knowledge and let us explore at our own pace. Amin truly made our experience through Fes incredible. If you are interested in doing a walking tour (highly recommended) through the Medina, I absolutely recommend Amin.

First and foremost I’d like to highlight just how incredible Amine our tour guide was! We had a great experience with him. Amine was super passionate about sharing his knowledge of the sites we visited in Fes, he’s friendly, kind, approachable, and professional. Amine made the tour fun and memorable. We highly recommend Amine

Had a full day tour in Fez today! 🇲🇦 With a fantastic tour guide: Amine! He was super friendly and we instantly connected. He showed me all the authentic sides of Fez — from local shops and markets to amazing restaurants. INCREDIBLE! Fez is such a stunning city; I still can’t quite grasp everything I’ve seen. Everything — from wooden schools to artisan boutiques — is handmade. How is that even possible?! I also had a short chat with a carpet maker about the unfortunate decline of traditional craftsmanship. It’s really sad — machines are taking over 😔. Unfortunately, I couldn’t bring anything with me since I only have my backpack. But… I did buy two amazing little perfumes made from real oil — not that diluted stuff you usually find in stores. I also got an explanation about the different herbs they use to make them. Super interesting! The rich history of Fez is truly worth exploring, and Amine will definitely not disappoint you! 🙌

I had the most incredible day walking around the medina with my guide Amine! I honestly could not have asked for a better experience. As a solo female traveler I must admit I was extremely nervous to come to Fes but Amine took incredible care of me and I meet some of the kindest shop owners. They all gave me such incredible knowledge about their skills and talents, which blew my mind with the passion and dedication to their crafts. I had several opportunities to get different views of the city from multiple terraces to an overall panoramic view of the medina. I have never felt so welcomed to a city in all my travels. Thank you so much Amine for a day I will never forget!

Excellent English; born and reared in the medina, so he knows it inside out. Amine is extremely kind and patient; it was a pleasure to spend the morning with him.

Amine was an excellent tour guide and we thoroughly enjoyed our time in his company. His vast, extensive knowledge and kind nature ensured we grew as fond of Fes and the Medina as we could ever have hoped to. Definitely recommend!
