Solo female travel experience (amazing!) - I was worried about going to Fes alone as a female traveller but this guide really helped with getting familiar with the city and having someone who knew the place so well. Youssef was so kind, patient and friendly, he made the whole experience so comfortable and pleasant as well as went above and beyond to show me around the beautiful city. He took his time, was very friendly and took a bunch of photos for me at my request. I would really recommend this to anyone visiting fes. The hospitality here is unmatched!
