Surprise - I was visiting a cafe enjoying a “Moroccan Whiskey” when I met this gentleman who spoke English. He questioned me about my visit here in Morocco. I informed him that I had already been on various tours and thought that there was really nothing else to see. He assured me that I had only scratched the surface, which I continued to disagree. He waged me a cup of tea that he could show me some places of great historical value that I haven’t seen yet. I agreed. He arrived with a driver for me at 10 am on Sunday and I must admit that the hidden gems that he showed me certainly proved me wrong. Our trip took me outside of the Medina were I was able to escape the common tour attractions and explore the natural Customs and traditions of the common people. Where they work. What they ate. I even meet a Shepard who was the only on his flock of sheep listened to. He took me into a home where I had a delicious Moroccan home made meal. Was treated like royalty. Needless to say. I owe him a cup of tea which he respectfully declined by buying me one. I would highly recommend his service. Thank you Hesham for a wonderful experience

New Perspective - This was hands-down the best tour guide experience my partner and I have had! Our guide, Hicham, had first-hand knowledge of Fez Medina. His birth and upbringing in Medina and his international studies abroad gave him a unique perspective on his cherished home city and country. Hicham was kind, gentle, and engaging. His love and enthusiasm for his country, history, craft, and community were memorable and infectious.

Take this tour! - Hicham was a fantastic guide! His English is perfect and he’s kind and patient. We learned so much about Moroccan culture, Islamic culture, local ways, the foods, the crafts, and so much more. Highly recommend his tour, and the price is better than fair. We could never have found all the great highlights of the medina without his help. He answered all our questions with grace, and waited patiently in the spots where we wanted to shop, take photos or meet any other needs. Definitely take tour with Hicham! We loved him!

Fez - My daughter and I enjoyed our guided tour. Khalid is competent, he speaks about the history of his city with great enthusiasm. He is patient, respectful, always attentive, polite and very kind. It walks fast but it is beneficial: you can discover many must-sees. I highly recommend. Thank you and see you soon!

The best tour guide ever - My first time in Fes, where I met Hicham in my travels, Hicham is a amazing tour guide with wealth of Fes history, culture and local knowledge and experience, I found Hicham most humble honest and friendly person I met in my time in Morocco. He was always explaining history of Fes, he is very passionate about his home town, and you see with how many people he knows. I wanted to buy some gifts, and Hicham helped me to go best quality places to buys gifts and then helped negotiate good price with me, Hicham always told me take picture here and took for me amazing pictures. I highly recommend Hicham to anyone wanting a honest trusting tour guide. The best tour I ever done and was a pleasure spending time with Hicham, good man he is. 🙏👍 Brad

An unforgettable tour of the Fez Medina with Hicham - Our tour of the Fez medina with Hicham was, without a doubt, the highlight of our 13-day journey across Morocco. The experience was nothing short of amazing. We had the chance to dive deep into the rich history of the medina, learning so much about its past and its role in the city’s culture. Hicham made us feel like locals, guiding us through the bustling streets, hidden alleys, and vibrant markets. In addition to exploring the medina, we visited the stunning lookout point over the city, which offered breathtaking views of Fez. Hicham also took us to the mellah, the Jewish quarter, where he provided fascinating insights into its history and significance. These stops enriched our understanding of Fez and its diverse cultural heritage. Hicham is incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about his work. He shared stories and historical facts with ease, and his friendly and engaging personality made the entire tour even more enjoyable. Not only is he an excellent guide, but he’s also very respectful, well-spoken, and a joy to be around. He answered all our questions with great detail and made sure we felt comfortable throughout the tour. If you’re looking to truly experience Fez, I highly recommend booking a tour with Hicham. His expertise and warmth made this an unforgettable experience, and it was definitely the best part of our trip!
