Amazing guy with a strong knowledge of Fez - We went for Fez and booked this half a day guide… he showed us so many nice things and knows what he’s talking about… finally I felt like no one is bothering me and pushing to buy something because I had a perfect guide that is the opposite of all the rest… If you ever think about booking a trip, this one is the best I ever had. Really a great recommendation!!! In short terms, friendly, kind, not pushing, not here for selling things, good information, correct price!

Great walking tour - After three days in Marrakesh we were a bit oversouked! So for Fez we looked for a compact culture tour and got what we wanted! A well-paced tour by Mr. Abdul, a gentleman close to our age, held a lot of photo ops and the bits of information for us made a great total of the historic role of Fez. We were met at our riad, and the walking-tour started right there – close to three hours up to the famous Bab Boujeloud. As we were ready for a break from Moroccan food – Culture Box was a smart lunch suggestion.

Highlight in Fes Guided Tour with Farida - We were looking for a short-term guide for a Medina tour in Fez - in German! Through Abdil we came to Farida and we immediately took her into our hearts. A very nice young woman with perfect German led us through the medina. She felt she knew all the people in the souk and showed us everything. From the bakery to the coppermakers, bronze working, weaving, dyeing, tanning, matrissa, mausoleum, squares and much more. We got a lot of information, had an incredible time. She brought us very close to Fes. With her, visiting the city was an absolute highlight. We can highly recommend Farida. We were also lucky to have been alone with her.

Very authentic experience - The tour with Omar was very authentic and you soon realise that Omar is located in Fès, as he knows many people and they know him. He shower us many places, especially inside the houses in Medina, we would never have seen without him. He also showed us shops of local artists to buy high-quality handicraft if you‘re into it. Although we booked the tour on very short term, everything worked out and the communication with the guide was smooth.

A must in Fes! - Adil was a wonderful guide. He took us to all points of interest in Fes while explaining important cultural and historical aspects of the city. He was kind and respectful and speaks many languages, always making sure you are comfortable and safe. The tour covered all of the points described and is a great way to get to know Fes! Definitely recommended.

A real dive into the heart of the medina - While we were in the middle of Ramadan and many things were closed, our guide Sqali Houssaini Mohammed gave my daughter and me a great day in the medina. He was very considerate, waited for us, took us to unusual places, and never pushed us to drink. He was always smiling and attentive to our safety! Thanks to him for this beautiful private immersion in the city.

Wonderful tour - We did this tour with our two young children and it was a wonderful and non-stressful way to see the Medina! We saw and learnt so much more than we ever would have done walking on our own. Our guide was patience with our children even showing us a good place to have some street food when they were hungry. Would recommend this tour

Disappointing experience - We booked this tour based on the positive reviews, but it was a disappointing and unpleasant experience. The guide clearly knows the Medina and was polite, including when we texted to say we would be 15min late. He showed us a few interesting places, but rushed us through everything, leaving us behind twice. The actual goal of the tour was to stop at several shops to make us buy items. Everything was rehearsed and vendors were pushy, insisting even when we said we didn't want certain products. I know this is part of the process here and in many other places, as I'm originally from South America, but this was a bit too much. By the third shop, we were so uncomfortable and upset that we decided to give up the time we paid for, asking to return to the hotel. After our request to end the tour there, he still took us to the rug shop. If he had asked us, we would probably have said that we wanted to see some shops (like the tannery), without the imposition. The tour description is misleading; it was only about an hour of walking around without being forced to sit down at shops and buy things. Really disappointing and disrespectful. I want to advise other travellers: if you are looking for a shopping experience, this tour is for you. If not, don't book it.
