We had a really nice tour with Amine. It was the perfect start to our 5 days in Fes and a great value for the price. He took us to all the major sights in Fes and explained a lot of the culture, customs, and history to us. No question was off-limits and even though we weren’t interested in buying much, we were still able to see up-close how so many of the craftsmen and artisans worked. We wanted to try to traditional street food, so he took us to his favorite spots. He made our first day in Fes so comfortable and to be with a private guide, it really helps to get a lay of the land. Thanks Amine for a fabulous day!

We had a fantastic tour with our excellent guide Adil! He was extremely knowledgeable and really went above and beyond to tailor the tour to our interests. The pacing between sites was perfect, and Adil’s warm and friendly demeanor helped us feel safe as a group on a girls trip. Adil even went the extra mile and helped us plan a dinner reservation for my friend’s birthday. I would highly recommend this tour with Adil to anyone who is looking for a comprehensive yet customizable tour of the Fes Medina, along with other beautiful sites!

Thank you as well for recommending BEKBEN Travel and our customizable Medina tours. We hope to welcome you back again for another Moroccan adventure — maybe a desert trip next time!

My husband and I were so well taken care of. Hamza personally took us himself to discover the ramparts of Fes, the Royal Palace, and a beautiful panoramic view over the city. Also, the Restaurant Isch is divine! We were then handed over to Zaccaria who elegantly guided us through the historic parts of the medina: the Al Quaraouiyine University, Al-Attarine Madrasa, souks, and the Chouara Tannery. My family is originally from Fes, however, my husband isn’t familiar with the city. I can say with confidence the guides are well informed and highly hospitable. I would highly recommend. Shookran bezef!
Dear Madam, Thank you so much for your beautiful words — it truly means a lot to us. It was an absolute pleasure for me personally to show you the highlights of Fes, from the ramparts and the Royal Palace to the panoramic views. I’m also very happy you enjoyed the experience at the restaurant — it’s indeed a special place. A special thank you as well for your kind mention of Zaccaria. We are proud to work with such knowledgeable and passionate guides who love sharing the rich history of Fes Medina. Knowing that, as someone with roots in Fes, you appreciated the authenticity of the experience makes your feedback even more meaningful to us. We would be truly delighted to welcome you and your husband again for another experience in Morocco. Shukran bezaf 🙏 Warm regards, Hamza Bekben Travel
We really appreciate the great communication with this tour. Fassim, our guide, was very informative. I made it to all the keys attractions I was interested in. Our Experience was Great
Thank you very much for your kind feedback. We’re really happy to hear that you enjoyed the tour and that the communication and organization met your expectations. Fassim will be very pleased to know that you appreciated his guidance and that you were able to see all the key attractions you were interested in. It was a pleasure hosting you in Fes, and we hope to welcome you again in Morocco in the future. Best regards,
It was ok. Rather than a tour of the Medina, this should’ve marketed as a shopping stop at all the local craftsmans. They pack so much into the Medina, I felt like we were rushed from place to place. After the quick stops at the school and museum, we rushed from shop to shop, with high pressure salesmen at each. The biggest disappointment was lunch. We were dropped off for an “authentic” Moroccan lunch and stepped into a restaurant solely filled with tour groups. The food was bland and overpriced, and we had to sit there for an hour until our guide came back for us The restaurant tried to claim they didn’t take credit cards, and only after insisting we didn’t have any more cash, the credit card machine miraculously started working. We would have much preferred to eat all the street food that looked so amazing in the alleys. When we were out of cash (never made it to an ATM, even after asking our guide to take us to one) our guide asked if we could skip the metalwork area since we had no more money to spend. So I guess the tour is over when you’re out of money. The drive afterwards was fine. We saw some pretty look out points and the ceramic studio was really cool to see, but we could have done that on our own. I will say both guides were very nice, I just think this tour wasn’t what we were expecting. We thought it would be a local person sharing their city with us and taking us to local hidden gem spots that we wouldn’t be able to find on our own.
Thank you for your feedback. However, it seems that this review has been posted on the wrong company profile. According to our records, you did not complete the tour with us, and we already processed a refund for the no-show on your reservation. Since the service described in your review was not provided by our company, we kindly ask you to remove this review or post it with the correct provider to avoid any misunderstanding. Thank you for your understanding. Best regards,
I booked a no-notice VIP tour of the Fes Medina with a local guide and private car at 2:30 a.m., and everything ran flawlessly. The driver arrived at our hotel right on time at 11:00 a.m. the same day, and we set off immediately. The private tour lasted more than five hours and covered many of the most important sites throughout Fes. At each stop, the guide clearly explained the history and significance of what we were seeing. He also helped us with photos, always knowing the best angles and spots for great shots. The guide was quadrilingual, so communication was effortless, and his knowledge of the city was exceptional. His patience—especially with our urge to take hundreds of photos—deserves special recognition. Overall, this tour was a major win and one of the highlights of our stay in Fes.
Thank you so much for this wonderful and detailed review 🙏 We are truly delighted to hear that your VIP Fes Medina tour exceeded your expectations, especially with such a last-minute booking. It’s great to know everything ran smoothly—from the punctual pick-up to the extended private visit covering the most important highlights of Fes. Your kind words about our driver and local guide mean a lot to us. We’re especially happy you appreciated the clear explanations, language skills, patience, and help with photos—capturing great memories is an important part of the experience 📸😊 We’re honored that this tour was one of the highlights of your stay in Fes. Thank you for trusting us, and we hope to welcome you again in Morocco for another unforgettable experience. Warm regards,
We really enjoyed this trip - our guide, Rachid, was born in the Medina and expertly guided us around. We saw the oldest mosque, medresa, the blue gate, and various other old features of the medina as well as all the buildings and shops. We had the opportunity to say which shopping opportunities we did not want to bother with - for us ceramics and rug making were things we had seen before - and found the tannery interesting. After a stop for a late lunch we were picked up by the owner of the company for the short drive out to see the ramparts and views of Fes. I’d highly recommend this tour if you’ve never visited Fes before. There are other places to visit in Fes that you don’t need a guide for- Dar Batha museum of Islamic Arts and Jnan Sbil gardens which we saved for our second day in the city.
Thank you very much for this detailed and thoughtful review 🌟 We’re truly happy to hear that you enjoyed discovering Fes with Rachid, especially knowing the Medina through the eyes of someone who was born and raised there. It’s great to know you appreciated the flexibility of the tour, being able to focus on what interested you most while skipping what you had already seen before. We’re also glad you found the tannery interesting and enjoyed the visit to the ramparts and panoramic views of Fes at the end of the day — it was a real pleasure to personally meet you and accompany you for that part of the tour. Thank you for your excellent recommendation and for sharing helpful tips for future visitors to Fes. We hope to welcome you again for another experience in Morocco 🇲🇦😊
