A day in Fez - We have made some fantastic excursions through Fez, throughout the morning we were able to tour the main points of the medina and in the afternoon we visited the outside of the wall. The service at all times was great and the guide's attention and patience was the best.

Highly recommended - Hassan gave us a tour of the medina in which he told us many curiosities and we were able to see things that we would not have seen without a guide. Highly recommended if you visit Fez to get to know it more in depth.

Ideal guide - Our meeting with Mohammed was magnificent. With his car he took us to visit several points outside the medina of Fes.
He took us to the Hammam in his neighborhood, a moment off the tourist trail to experience to immerse yourself in the heart of local life.
His family, his good humor, his professionalism touched us a lot.
We will come back and go on an excursion with him!
I absolutely recommend!! Go there with your eyes closed!

Very good experience in Fez with Mohamed as guide. - We came across Mohammed “by chance” but we do not regret having trusted him. Very kind and good guide, honest and very professional. He gave us a very good tour with places where the views were exceptional and the duration was exactly what he said.
