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.

definitely worth booking tour - I would highly recommend a tour with Adil. He was really friendly and knew alout about the history of the medina. We were able to see alot of the medina which would not have been possible if we did it by ourselves. He also gave us enough time to look around and do some shopping.

Highly recommended! - Very happy that we booked the tour with Adil.
Adil was very friendly and a real professional. He lived his whole live in the medina and knew a lot about the history.
Without him we would have certainly been lost. Highly recommend!

Pleasant tour of the medina - Adil was very friendly and was able to tell us a lot about the origins of the city (religion, craftsmanship; leather, wood, etc.). His English is good and he is not pushy. In the stores that are naturally shown, he emphasizes that it is without obligation.
All in all a very nice morning (tour: 3 hours).
