Best tour ever - I am so grateful to Adil for giving us one of the best tours ever! He was extremely kind and also made sure we never felt pressured to buy anything or get scammed (which we appreciate so much). We would not have seen half of the things he showed us by ourselves as the Medina is quite hard to navigate without knowing the area well. On top of that, we love supporting family businesses and was so happy that this is one of those. We will recommend all our friends to take this tour. I hope you guys continue this business and thank you for being so amazing!

Excellent guide, fantastic English and humour. Don't go past, money well spent. Our highlight of Fez. - Ussam was an excellent tour guide, knowledgeable, friendly, spoke excellent English. (Although he speaks 8 different languages!!!) He was a delight to walk with. It was so interesting visiting the Fez medina. We were picked up from our hotel at 9.30 and returned at 2.30pm, by Mohammad our driver. Ussam showed us so many things and explained it very well, with there being almost 10,000 streets in the medina he knew exactly where he was taking us. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend him as a guide. We had a fabulous time. Only bit that we didn't expect but should have, was the opportunity to buy carpets, leather goods, scarfs etc however Ussam helped us navigate the bartering system well and we certainly didn't buy in all of the places, we said no to lots and yes to 1 or 2. Just be sure of yourself if you wish to buy or not, don't feel pressured, walk away.
All in all, it was a fabulous time with a great guide. We'd totally commend him.
Thank you Ussam, Peter & Lynda, NZ

Would recommend, 10/10 - Hisham took care of everything and made our visit to Fes better than we could have hoped for! Instead of having to stare at our phones to navigate the labyrinth that is Fes, we were treated to a thoughtfully planned out tour that stopped at all the sites we wanted to see and some we didn’t know about. If you are coming to Fes, ask for Hisham.

Great tour! - Abdul was great. Interesting tour of Medina. Got a lot more out of it than I would have done if we had gone on our own. Abdul invited us to his home for tea to avoid the rain. It was fun talking with him! He was born and raised in fez.

Good tour , a must to see Fez Medina. - Well, if you really need to see all the sights at Fez Medina. You have to take this tour. Basically the guide takes you to many traditional places of historic value, but also many shops where they show you how they make things. Up to you if you want to buy. The highlight is the leather factory where you see the tanks where they color the leather. You will never get there on your own. It’s worth it.

Not the cultural experience we expected - If you have only one day in Fes, the only practical way to move around is with a guide, as the medina is extremely labyrinthine and difficult to navigate alone.
I would suggest booking this tour only for this reason but this half-day tour of Fes unfortunately did not meet our expectations.
Some important sites listed in the itinerary were skipped (Bab Boujloud, Cherratin Medersa, Place R’cif).
Much of the time was spent visiting leather, herbs, and textiles shops.
The included tea break was never offered.
On the positive side, the guide picked us up at our riad and was flexible with the meeting time.
Overall, not the cultural experience we expected — perhaps the quality depends heavily on the guide you are assigned.
