Absolute highlight of my trip - My goal for the day was to go on an intensive tour with a local guide. I had no idea that my expectations would be so exceeded! Idriss is an excellent host, he involved me right from the pick-up in ‘his’ city with lots of interesting storytelling, detailed explanations and a lot of warmth. He navigated to all relevant locations and always had 1a contacts who were part of his personal network. This personal relationships made it so authentic and fantastic. That was history you could experience and touch, thank you Idriss!

Nice city tour with a friendly local - Idriss make us like Fes a lot more. He very friendly, supportive and knowledgeable. He introduced the history of the Medina, local food, recommended some good restaurants, especially he explained the style and functions of architecture and even why the city has a lot of cats. He also took a lot of pictures for us to memorise the trip. We feel lucky to choose his tour after the scam on the day we arrived, make us believe that Fes is still a worth visit city.

A fantastic tour with a friendly guide - Idriss is very friendly guide. He is very knowledgeable and he shared a lot of interesting information about the medina. The places he took us to (incl those in the itinerary and extra places that we would like to visit such as carpet shops, restaurant recommendation) were all worth going. As he said, he wouldn’t take us to bad places!
Would definitely recommend this tour to anyone who would like to enjoy a half day tour in the medina with a knowledgeable and friendly guide

A perfect visit for our day of arrival in Fez - We spent almost 4 hours with Driss and loved everything! Thanks to him we saw the essentials, met passionate and exciting people and at the end of our visit he took us to a very good restaurant with a pretty terrace.
And thank you for the recommendation of the other restaurant Driss, we were amazed! 😍
