One Stop Shop for Fes & Cultural Sites - From the get go we were met outside our Riad right on time. Khalid was our tour guide for the day, and what a MAN!! Humble, patience and super knowledgeable, he shared amazing I sights not only into the city, but Islamic culture, and speaks French, English & Spanish. He then invited us to his mother's, who cooked us lunch for 200 Dirham, absolute bargain! Without hesitation this is a must do in Fes, as Khalid will be at your beckon call for everything you need (literally anything). Thanks again for a wonderful time, and dedication to your craft!! 😁

Excellent!! He knows everyone in the Medina! - Said was excellent!! We had been in Fes for a few days before we decided to take a tour. We had already seen and done a lot, so we told him exactly what we had done, and what we wanted. He delived! He took us to some of the most amazing sights only a local would know. The whole day was great. I would highly recommend his services to everyone, no matter what it is you want to see in Fes. He also seemed to know everyone in the entire Medina too!

A safe bet for a guide. - Said did exactly as he promised. We went at our pace, and visited the places we wanted to go. He provided just the right amount of information about what we were seeing and answered all our questions. We didn’t feel pressured at the 2 shops we visited. His english is quite good and we would recommend him without hesitation.

Excellence - Said is an amazing guide, he showed us around Médina with good knowledge of history and road. He gave us advice along the way and even bought us bottles of water. He made us explore the Médina where the area is cooler and not at the Main Street. He definitely helped us when we are stuck with our car in a narrow road of the Médina trying to find our Riads and carpark. Definitely a good and genuine guy, will recommend him to anyone visiting Fez.

He is a good guy. - Said is absolutely trustworthy. On arrival day we lost the way to our Riad. He had recognized this and lead us by motorbike to the best parking place nearby. Next day he organized a half day tour with his guide Abdul. Abdul came to our Riad and give us a nice Medina Tour. Of course he led us also to some shops, but in reasonable manner. Next evening Said even organised a restaurant table for us. The food was good, the service of Al Tajine was even better. They brought us back to our Riad in the night. Very helpful in the labyrinth of old town Fes. All this help have been initiated by Said. All together: Said was much more as a Manager of a tour operator. He is smart, helpful, with an extremely short response time, and the price for the tour was quite fair. I can recommend him to everyone. He is a good guy!
