Highly recommend especially if limited in time for Fes - Idriss was a great guide. Born and raised in Fes he was very knowledgeable and professional. Very much enjoyed learning about the city and was able to cater my trip to my liking, I was even able to get a tour of the tannery! He was also KEY to helping me purchase a authentic Moroccan rug, even waking up in the morning after our tour, to go with me to make the purchase. Thanks again for everything!
