5.00Had an amazing tour by Abdel! Visited all of the highlights in Fes. You see more narrow streets, specialized markets and more authentic shops then when you go alone, and learn a lot about the culture and history of Fes. Had a great time!
BEST TOUR GUIDE EVER!

5.00We were lucky enough to be assigned Abdul for our half-day tour and want to tell you he was outstanding in every way. He is friendly, courteous, prompt, professional, and extremely knowledgeable about all aspects of Moroccan life, culture, history, and food, but what set him apart was his priority of always focusing on the client. He was responsive to all of our needs and adjusted the routes and itinerary according to what was appropriate for us, offering his assistance above and beyond the call of duty to make sure we had a great experience. Abdul is a wonderful man and we can truly say it was a pleasure spending the day with him.
Experienced and helpful guide who guided through the medina with a good sense of humor. Recommended!

5.00Abdelmalek is a friendly and enthusiastic man who shared profit data and led us through the alleys of the medina. Very helpful and with a sense of humor and understanding of other worlds, he got to know us a lot about their culture. He also recommended us a top restaurant!

5.00We took a tour to the medina of Fez with the guide Abdelmalek. The medina is very extensive and organized by sectors (textiles, goldsmithery, food, etc). The guide illustrated the various monuments giving us historical and cultural information that we would hardly have understood by turning on our own. He's nice and speaks very good English. Recommended
Unpublished and fascinating discovery

5.00Abdel came to our hotel to pick us up,was really relaxed en never spent any second watching the clock. He asked what we wanted to see and made some recommendations. Took us to every landmark possible, showed us around the old Medina so we wouldn’t get lost and recommended some great restaurants. A real professional guide for a fair price, and a real nice person with a great sense of humour as well. I wouldn’t hesistate to recommend him to anyone that wants to visit fez, made our stay much better! Greetz from Belgium Glenn and Kathleen
