Relaxed tour for my mother to introduce her to the Medina and its sights. The speed was well adjusted to the age and temperature.
Thank you
We enjoyed this moment of sharing with our guide We recommend this experience it was nice to be carried away in the maze of the medina
Merci beaucoup
The view was fine. We made the stops described and our guide explained some things and curiosities about Fez. I knew the labyrinthine streets of the medina well
Thank you
You definitely need a guide to find your way around the Fes Medina, and this was an excellent choice. Yassin was a fantastic guide. Very knowledgeable-we learned a lot. He did a good job letting us know in the beginning what to expect and we could skip or add spots as we wished. He took us to various artisan shops and learned how the items were made (metal working, leather, woven items) but did not feel pressured to buy. Highly recommend this tour, and Yassin in particular.
Thank you 🙏
We had the best tour guide ever, Aldi. It didn’t feel like we’re tourists, just wandered around with him, learning about Fez and eating at Fez as locals. Highly recommend the tour. I’ll defo contact Aldi if I come back to Fez.
Thank you
We booked a private day tour with Adil and it did not disappoint! Adil comes with so much knowledge of the medina and he thoroughly explained the history of each place we stopped at in detail, which we appreciated as we wouldn't have that depth of knowledge if we had been on our own without a guide. The architecture and craftsmanship in Fes is just INCREDIBLE! Adil also took the time to make sure we tried some local treats and freshly baked bread, which was amazing as well. I would highly recommend Adil for a private tour of the medina if you are planning a visit to Fes as he is a local with so much passion for his city.
Thank you so much
When we arrived in Fes we didn't think we were going to take a tour of the medina. But after deciding to do one and getting Adil Bakkali as our guide, we were so happy that we did. Adil was a great guide and his knowledge and tour route was excellent. We learned so much from him and got to see places that we would have never got to see if we had gone on our own. Highly recommend this tour and Adil as a guide!
Thank you so much 😊
Nice visit , not too long , interesting explanation from our private guide Jamal. Obviously as always we are taken to some shops to explain different manufacturing methods with the intention of making us buy stuff. In our case this was not a problem as we had already planned to take advantage of this guided tour to make some purchases. But be advised that we don't feel obliged to buy anything. And remains a fact , we buy authentic products often made on site by craftsmen before our eyes.
Thank you so much 😊
The guide was on time and very attentive. He told us about his city Fes and showed us everything that makes the mystery and charm of the medina
Thank you so much 🙏
