Unforgettable Fez Experience with Local Guide Adil - Exploring Fez with Adil was an absolute highlight of our trip to Morocco! From the moment we met him, it was clear we were in the best hands. Adil, born and raised in the heart of the Medina, gave us a truly authentic and personal experience that we couldn’t have had on our own. He took us to all the key sights, but also introduced us to hidden gems—niche spots that only a local would know.
His deep knowledge of the arts and crafts of Fez brought the city’s history and culture to life. The days we spent exploring on our own just didn’t compare to the richness and insight Adil provided. His passion for his hometown shines through in everything he does.
If you're visiting Fez and want to fully immerse yourself in its wonders, I can't recommend Adil enough! He’s the best guide we’ve had in Morocco, and the experience was truly unforgettable.

Super state tour with very nice guide!! - We did a 3-hour guided tour of the medina with Adil. It was so great!!! He knows everyone there personally and was able to give us super nice impressions of the handcrafts there and guided us purposefully through the confusing streets of the old town. The experience was really a 10/10 and will stay with me for a long time!!:)

The best guide - Adil was very kind and knowledgeable. He told me a lot about Fez and answered many of my questions. In addition to sightseeing, we went to various shops, but we were never pressured into buying anything and we didn't have to buy anything.
Even at tourist spots that required an entrance fee, we didn't have to go in, and he explained things to us from the outside.
He was a great guide, and I'm glad I was able to tour Fez with him.
At first I was unsure about hiring a guide, but I'm really glad I did.

Nice experience - They showed us lots of great places! Everyone we met was nice. We bought some perfume and a bed cover. We were able to gain a deeper understanding of the handicrafts and history of Fez. It was nice to be able to explore at our own pace.

Very good tour of the madina - Adil, who lives in the medina himself, was very good. He picked us up at our riad and made the day a great pleasure. The medina can be daunting initially, but he ensured it was a delight. We were taken to all the key sites but also had delicious street food on his reccomendation.
Have no hesitation reccomending him.
