Without a guide, you cannot find your way out of the Medina - Do not attempt to navigate the old city of Fez without a guide. The Medina is huge, with thousands of narrow alleys which they consider streets. You cannot navigate with Google Maps, so do not attempt this without a tour guide.
This is a real community - not just a jumble of old buildings. The tannery is a must-see, as is the university. The best part is a pleasant walk in an enormous historic site.

Fun in Fes - I can't say enough about my guide Jamal. He is one of the best I've had anywhere. He was very attentive and went out of his way to show me Fes and explain the history. His choice of shops were high quality. Will tell all my friends about him

Fes Walking Tour - Mohammed came to my hotel and it immediately became clear that he knew a great deal about the city and its history. We spent most of the tour learning about the history and meeting people from various trades. It was relaxed and very enjoyable.

Great experience - Excellent visit to the magnificent and lively medina of Fez, with our guide Mohammed Yassin who alone deserves the 5 stars: punctuality, competence, attentiveness, naturalness and sobriety, thoughtfulness and even solicitude, choice of route and restaurant adapted to wishes. A memorable day for the four of us. We highly recommend

Medina to visit necessarily with an official Guide! - It is a real shame that such a beautiful city is inhabited by such unfair and aggressive people. Fortunately we also met people of great depth and I am very sorry that they have to live with such rude people and little respect for vacationers. Recommendation or rather I recommend to be accompanied by an official and recognized Guide for a fair cost. If you are alone you are soon harassed and hired by criminals who will pretend to help you and then threaten you if you do not give them the tip that they themselves require!! We spent moments of terror, they ruined our vacation. The police, fortunately, are ready to rescue you, so do not hesitate to ask for help.
