Insightful Tour - This tour was absolutely the highlight of our 4 days in Fes. Abdou was a delightful guide and you can tell he really enjoys his work! He made this tour not only fun but so educational! Once he told us the “secrets” of navigating the Medina, we were confident in getting around on our own. He went above and beyond and assisted us with purchasing a tea kettle and even leading us to the Restaurant Nejjarine since it’s a bit tricky to find for a first timer.

A great tour of Medina. - One of the best guides we had in Morocco! Extremely knowledgeable about the history of the medina, he managed to share his knowledge in an engaging and entertaining way, with an excellent sense of humor. He led us through a thousand years of history, from the top to the center of the medina, making the experience unforgettable.
Unlike most guides in Fez and other tourist cities in Morocco, he didn't pressure us to buy anything or accept sales offers. He was also very helpful, helping my mother find a store in the middle of the medina where she could buy a simple hair elastic. I would recommend his services a thousand times over!

Very helpful and informative tour of Fez - Abdou's tour was amazing. I absolutely loved how much information he packed into this 3 hour tour. The headset he provided all of us with was super helpful as it did become loud in some parts of the medina. Don't look any further and just book this tour with Abdou. You won't regret it!

Great overall tour if you are looking for somebody to ask all kind of questions - Abdou was a great tour guide and encouraged us to ask any questions - whether they were about whatever we were seeing, people, customs, culture, etc. He kept a good pace and tour actually extended over the expected time and he did not mind. Walking around and seeing other tours, I was glad I had booked this one because:
* group was small - only 6 of us
* he had headphones for us, which made it easy to be able to hear him
* English was excellent
* great personality- he liked to joke with us
* pace was great - did not feel rushed
* while we stopped at a hamman and the tanneries, it was a short stop (only 15 min at the tanneries compared to others)
Would strongly recommend booking with him

Guided Walking Tour of Fes Medina - My wife and I Highly recommend this well-organized city tour with Abdourahim. We started on the outskirts of the Medina and walked inward, exploring the vast history of the city of Fes. Abdourahim was a professor by profession and he has a keen ability to relay just the right amount of information. When you start the tour he gives you an ear phone and communicates wirelessly via this device so that you can look around you while also absorbing his factoids about the city and culture of Fes. He also takes time to ask if anyone has questions or needs clarification about anything he said. He is a professional and sensitive to the groups needs. For example my wife and I had already seen the tannery so he placed us in a restaurant nearby to wait and relax and then came to pick us back up into the tour. He also kept the group together especially during the busy afternoon hours in crowded medina streets. Don’t hesitate to book with Abdourahim, it was pleasure getting to know him and having a nice group to go on this walking tour.

Great tour with the best price! - I learned a lot from Rahim in this tour. He’s such a nice guy and knows everyone in this historical city. He won’t take you to any shops unless you want to. You will miss a lot about Fes if you miss this tour!
