Festival Half Day Tour - I had limited time at the festival and wanted to see the sights without hesitation, so I applied for a Guided tour. Our Guide Omar politely introduced us to the sights! It is Recommendation that they explain so that even those who are not good at English can understand.

Fantastic tour of Fes medina - Great tour round the medina with Imad. I had walked around a bit myself the afternoon before but didn’t know what I was looking at or where I was going so the tour was great. Was very informative. You do stop at a few shops but they are not the usual kind and are not pushy. They are happy to explain what they do and are not pushy if you do not buy. Definately recommend.

Feztastic! - We - a group of six Dutch friends - had a great tour with Imad in the Fez medina and the tennaries. He is a friendly and relaxed tour guide and knows a lot about the medina and nice shops with authentic goods. His English skills are very good and we asked him about recommendations for our remaining time in Fez. He was very flexible regarding planning/time management of the tour.

Great tour of the Medina - A beautiful tour of the Medina of Fez. Yaya was very kind and made us discover small pearls of the city including a craftsman who extracts argan oil. Visit recommended, shooting it yourself would not have been the same thing.

Amazing Medina Tour - Imad is a fantastic guide. He took us everywhere within the Medina to show us all aspects of life in Fez. His knowledge and reassurance was great to give us the information and security to experience the Medina like a local. We chatted with him the whole time on a wide range of subjects. His English and knowledge is excellent! He looked after us the whole time, haggling for us and recommending a restaurant, which he he then picked us up from again while his visited his Grandmother! He gave us a fantastic insight and is such a great guy to spend time with. Thank you Imad for taking us all over the Medina and to see all aspects of life, the tannery, religious places, history and culture. We highly recommend you!

This visit allows a very nice discovery of the medina. - We had a great visit with our guide, Omar, passionate about his city. For hours, we walked through the alleys of the medina. Omar made us discover places we could not have discovered alone. It is obvious that he wants to pass on the history of his city, its culture and its beauty. Thank you again for his kindness! We recommend Omar 100%!!

Best experience in Fes—a must do - If you go to Fes, you MUST take a tour with this company. Imed led us for about 6 hours on our “half-day tour”, and made sure that we saw everything that we wanted to in the Medina. He was extremely knowledgeable (having grown up there), and we had many fascinating conversations about life in Fes and Moroccan culture. I mentioned that we’d like to try some street food, and 5 minutes later he had set us up at a table behind a vendor with 4 different dishes that he had bought from different stalls. He brought us to a number of artisans, but all were very friendly and put no pressure on us to buy. In short, I would recommend that you hire Imed and his company as a guide—it’s great value and you will get much more out of your visit to the Medina.

The perfect tour for first timers - Over all full experience of the old Medina. The tour guide Imad is a guide that born and raised in the old Medina. Very knowledgable of the city and helpful guy. Imad also will go the extra mile to help you with logistic and restaurant recommendation. Shopping can get bit expensive in the Medina. No need to bring cash most big stores and restaurant accept credit card.
