Great private tour! - We had a wonderful time during this private tour in Fes! Mohammed is very friendly and took the time to explain all the beautiful sights of the Medina of Fes. There is lots of time to take everything in and make some beautiful pictures. He picked us up at our hotel and brought us back. Which is nice, because you can quickly get lost in the large medina. Thanks you for the great experience!

Mohamed an expert guide for the medina tour - We booked the visit the same day through our riad and were lucky to have Mohamed as our guide. We felt safe with him and he showed us places of Medina we couldn't discover ourselves. If you are lucky enough to have him as your guide you will be amazed by his experience, his humanity and you will notice how much he is respected by the locals. It was a beautiful day that we will always remember. Aurora and Andrea

A typical and authentic day - Thanks to Mohammed! We had a wonderful day around and in the medina! He made us discover all the historic places but also his local habits by eating in his favorite places.. you will not regret because you will visit the medina differently with simplicity and authenticity
