“A must in Fes! - This is an absolute must in Fes! Highly recommended!! It was a truly incredible experience. I have done a lot of tours around the world, but this was without a doubt my best experience. From the first moment it became clear that our guide had unique insights about the city of Fes. He took us to all the best places and we had fantastic experience. The guide was extremely friendly and made our experience truly special. Yayha ensured a seamless experience from the moment we booked until we were back at the hotel. At the hotel, I spoke to other people who did similar tours with other operators. They did not see nearly as much as we did, so if you are going to Fes, you need to choose this company!”
