10/10 Absolutely Recommend for Local Authentic Experience - Idriss was an incredible guide and made our experience in Fes better than we could have imagined. It was clear that he was born and raised in the Medina, he knew the area and its history like the back of his hand. He also has experience as both a teacher and a tour guide throughout Morocco so we were able to get answers to any question we had about Amazigh and Moroccan history. The experience felt much more authentic and personal as we walked the streets and every day residents would stop us to say hi to Idriss who is just another one of their neighbors!

Incredible experience - We had a great day in Fez thanks to our guide Idriss . Very professional, punctual and passionate about the history of the medina. He made us discover authentic places, off the beaten track, while sharing many interesting anecdotes. His knowledge of Moroccan culture and his love for his city are impressive. I highly recommend Idriss to anyone who wants to discover Fes in depth

Very cultured. a lot of finesse and intelligence in our exchanges going well beyond simple information about the city! A very nice visit to Fes and a real meeting. How lucky we were! Thank you and good luck for you Driss!

If you're going to Fez this is a non-negotiable. Book now! - Driss was AMAZING. Important things I was looking for was someone who could speak understandable English and not a guide taking us to places we were pressured to buy. He spoke amazing English ( and many other languages); we were not bothered by any shop owners while we were with him. Part of the tour and things we wanted to see were the tanneries, which after seeing they took us downstairs to buy leather if we would like. We did not feel pressured but this was where the locals came to buy leather as well. There was also a Berber carpet shop ( he gave us the option) and we wanted to buy blankets so we went. Also, he asked if we wanted to go to an argan oil place. Another presentation but no pressure and very informative. We wanted to buy different things in the shop so we opted in. Fez would have been very difficult to see without a guide and was also great company. He offered to take us somewhere to eat and then continue on but we had skipped breakfast and the rest of the group wanted to shop for trinkets. I would recommend him to ANYONE looking for a really great guide. Felt like I was hanging out with my Grandpa in his hometown. Very knowledgable and friendly to everyone in the town. It was so nice being with him walking through the medina. Don't hesitate to book through him. I will be sending my friends his number to come. A huge thing for me is not being taken to places to just buy stuff and he was an answer to my dreams come true. Great tour!

Idriss is a great guide in Fez - Idriss was very knowledgeable, explained in great detail all the sites, helped us taste the local delicacies, and was very friendly and helpful. My wife forgot her phone in our car and Idriss went out of his way to get her phone. Idriss is the best. He was like a family member taking us around. He did not rush us. He helped us with our shopping.

Beautiful discoveries over two days with a guide 👌 - We can only recommend Driss with his eyes closed to make you discover the medina of Fez that he knows as his pocket , and possible other excursions outside the city . We were able to take advantage for 2 days of his very great historical and political knowledge to better understand Moroccan culture and its riches. Many thanks Driss and look forward to meeting you again on our way... Incha ‘ Allah
