Half day tour in Fez - Great walking tour with Hisham. He’s a great tour guide who really knows his way around the souk. Very informative, friendly and he was especially great with my kids. He even took the time to reserve us a spot in a hammam, which itself was also a great experience. Would definitely recommend this tour in Fez!

Great experience - We had a great time on this tour. Hicham was an amazing guide. He took us to lots of different vendors and shops with high quality goods that we wouldn’t have found otherwise. He also showed us the main landmarks in the medina. He was very kind and professional. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone that wants a no-stress way to explore the medina.

Fantastic Historical Tour of Fez - It has been a while, I have forgotten the guide's name but he was fantastic! He knew the ins and outs of the city, showed us everywhere, gave us historical background of every monument and answered all our questions. He was extremely patient with me as I would flinch each time I saw a Cat. If you're reading this, please go ahead and book; you will not regret I promise!

Highly recommend!! - This family-run tour agency was wonderful. They were easy to communicate with and very flexible with scheduling. We happened to arrive in Fes on Eid al-Adha, or the Feast of Sacrifice, which is one of the biggest (if not the biggest) holidays in Morocco. Everything was closed for about two days and we had our tour on the day after the holiday so a few stores were open. This created a unique experience as we had most of the Medina to ourselves, there were very few people so we didn’t have to fight the crowds to see the tannery. Other sites and activities outside the Medina were substituted for attractions that were closed for the holiday, so it was still a very full day and plenty to see. Abdul and his team are very flexible and can add or remove places from your tour itinerary. Fes is known for its handicrafts, so we visited several shops to see hand-crafted pottery, rugs, leather goods, pashmina, and Abdul is there to make sure you are getting a good deal on anything that you wish to purchase. Overall we had a wonderful experience and are happy to make a new friend 😊

A little late but a fantastic tour, Thanks Hicham - While a little late with pick up due to there being 2 Ibis hotels in Fes, the tour was great. Abdul the driver spoke good English and the car was comfortable. Hicham was outstanding tour guide. I've been lucky and seen a lot of cultural places around the world, this rates up there with the best of them. Especially liked the University that was built 4-500 years before the Maori canoes sailed to NZ and the start of the Ming Dynasty in China! Also a pleasure to meet his Grandmother an Aunty and her family in the house Hicham was born in. Highly recommended.

Excellent experience - The visit was very complete, very interesting, our guide Abdel was really helpful. We were able to see a lot of crafts without ever feeling obliged to buy, and were really able to see the outside of the city with its high views, and crisscross the medina in neighborhoods. A very nice experience. Abdel did not count his time or energy so that we could see as much as possible.

Book this tour! - What a lovely day exploring and learning about what makes Fes so special! Yahya was so kind, informative, and thoughtful in his explanations and took the time to get to know us. I also loved the artisans we visited — lovely people who were excited to share their craft. Would highly recommend booking this tour!

Wonderful intro to local history - Fantastic tour. We learned so much at a pleasant pace. The places we stopped were true artisans/local experts, and the mint tea shop was a highlight. A wonderful way to learn the history of Fes. Yahya is an excellent guide.

A great tour with some great guides - Abdul and Mohammed showed us all around Fes. We went around the outskirts of the city and got some really spectacular views of the city from high up. Abdul is an excellent guide through the medina - he grew up there and seems to know everyone. We saw lots of different types of handcrafts being made, including leather, ceramics, carpets - all the people we spoke to were very friendly and there was never any pressure to buy. Fes is a beautiful city and I'm glad we had Abdul and Mohammed to show us around
