Highlights
  • Fes el-Bali - The artisanal tour starts when our English-speaking guide picks you up from your hotel or riad and helps you discover the delights of traditional and famous Fassi products and handicrafts made in local workshops by local craftsmen in the heart of Fes Medina.

Fes is internationally renowned for its high-quality leather goods, the majority of which originate at the Chouara Tannery, the biggest and oldest in the city, established over a thousand years ago. From a balcony vantage point, you can see the different pits where the workers wash and remove the hair from the skins before polishing them with different colors produced from natural products. Later, after curing and sun-drying, the hides are turned into shoes, clothing, handbags, wallets, etc., all on sale here at much reduced prices than in the shops. Your guide will help you bargain for your shopping

An interesting look at the city of Fes - An interesting look at the city of Fes. For a large city, it has a relative lack of monuments, but this interesting half day tour makes it well worth exploring the city. The highlight is a tour of the old medina streets, an amazing architectural achievement. Our guide was tfriendly, helpful, and accomodating.

Wonderful tour - Wonderful tour with a very knowledgeable guide who managed the time at each of the sites very well. You also visit several historical sites all in one day and would recommend comfortable shoes as there is a lot of walking. Was an overall wonderful experience

It's recommended - Our guide, Muhammad, was very knowledgeable! I was able to see ordinary private houses through the countless doors in the old town, and learn about the structure of the city and places that I couldn't go to without a guide, which was very satisfying! ! In the first half, we walked around town, and in the second half, they took us to a tannery and a shop selling leather goods, metal products, and textile fabrics. At all of the shops, we were able to explain how to make the products and observe the craftsmanship, and there were no forced sales. If you don't want something, just say to Muhammad, ``I don't need it, so I want to leave,'' and you can leave without offending anyone, and if you want something, just tell Muhammad and he'll help you negotiate! ! I think it's a great experience because you can really shop at your own pace and see things being made. Lunch was delicious and fresh, and I was taken to a kind person. Thank you for your generous efforts even though it must have been difficult during the day during Ramadan! it's recommended!

THE BEST GUIDE EVER!!!! - Mustafa was just amazing. He knows the history of Fez inside out. Thanks to him we felt and saw the craftmanships in this amazing city. Without Mustafa it would not have been possible to understand and discover the immense wealth displayed through the architecture. He also recommended a fantastic restaurant where we all enjoyed a delicious traditional meal. All in all I thoroughly recommend Mustafa - THE BEST GUIDE EVER!!!!

Extremely interesting visit - Extremely interesting visit with lots of explanations. We were able to discover the medina as we never could have done alone. We were able to discover the different craft sectors. The only downside is the restaurant, which is more or less imposed at lunchtime during the visit, which remains a place for tourists.

The best Fez experience!! - My husband Willem and me were on a kind of private tour , we were the only guests. Out driver Hamza, who already took us from the airport, was the driver that day,candcaliur personal guide in the medina was Ahmed,ca very nice and patient man who told us about a lot of interesting things in the medina and the craftsmanship, the riads and the people. Also he showed us lots of interesting gates( the golden gate and the Blue Gate) and told us the reasons they were build. It was also very nice that he could explain things to the people in the shops, what we wanted to buy or wat we wanted to say... Hamza brought us to our hotel on the first day, brought us to a restaurant with singers and dancers on our last day and told us about everything to do and not to do when we were alone in the town. He was very caring and nice! And both of the guides talked English perfectly!! We had a great time thanks to them!! This is the second review I write, unfortunately I can not upload the photographs in this site!! Very sorry!

thank you Reda, until next time. - Our guide Abdul and his "assistant" Reda showed us how to be knowledgeable and kind at the same time. In a small group like ours, where we mixed English, Spanish, French and a little Portuguese, they took us through Medina's labyrinthic and narrow streets, showing us their hidden and enchanted parts, always with a word of friendship, good humor, joy and pride for its history - which is a determining part of the history of this great country that is Morocco. Thank you Abdul, thank you Reda, until next time.

very kind and informative. - Normally, I don't prefer to take guided tours. However, this tour was beyond my expectations. My guide Hamza, was very kind and informative. The range and diversity of sites visited was everything on my list and perfectly timed (without being rushed). To be able to have a safe environment to wander the medina, without getting lost and local information and tips was invaluable. Great value for money!
