Magical and rewarding moments. - We left today with my mother on a private tour of the Middle Atlas, our guide and driver Zakaria was great! He taught us a lot of interesting things about the region of his country. His conduct is faultless. We had a good laugh. He's cheerful and cheerful. He listens to his clientele, treated us like princesses. My favorite part was at the cedar park. It was the first time in my life I had contact with little monkeys. A pure moment of happiness for me near the cedar of Gouraud. Thank you very much for this beautiful experience and this moment of sharing.🙏 I highly recommend this excursion whether in private or in group. I have a preference for private tours as we take our time and all attention is exclusively for us.

Great way to see Fes - What a great day! Our guide picked us up on time and we were off to see the sights. He was as great at asking about what we preferred to know (history, culture, architecture, etc) and was quite knowledgeable. Favorite thing was when he took us to the home he was born in that he had fully refurbished. His wife made us tea and we had a great time talking. Highly recommend!

Very good! - Excellent!! Jamal (if I recall well) was very thorough in the short amount of time we had. We saw the most “important” places and the explained to us cultural and historical during the tour. Recommended.

A magical experience discovering the Medina and Fes with the incomparable Mustafa - Amazing tour of the Medina and Fez with Mustafa 1 we’ll never forget it. His knowledge and passion for the Medina was infectious and he shared it with us in such an engaging way that I know we will never forget it. Everything from what the street signs mean, to the architecture and buildings in the Medina, one of the worlds oldest universities from 1200 and the library and high school, a water clock, the first psychiatric hospital dating from the 14th century. Mustafa treated us to amazing local food, showed us a traditional Hamman and introduced us to authentic artisans - everything from woodwork, jewellery, silk and dye, carpets and kilims , spices and argan oil, the tannery and leather. We loved it so much we ended up extending the tour to a full day, which meant we got to see the King’s Palace, the Jewish Quarter, and saw the traditional artisans making Fez ceramics. A magical day!

Good visit but lack of spontaneity - The excursion went well the Guide is very kind and professional. However, it is felt that the places visited (carpet shop, tanneries, restaurant) are chosen in advance and this spoils the spontaneity of the moment. The restaurant we were led to is said to be a “Traditional Moroccan Super Restaurant” with Good Awards, while it is filled with Guided Tourists.

Great tour that covers most of the Medina - Although it was only half a day, we were able to experience the rich culture in the Medina. The guide was very enthusiastic, and showed us around all the places. He seemed to have many friends in every single area that we visited.
