The most memorable holiday I've ever had! - We had our tour today and it was wonderful. Abdul is extremely knowledgeable and passionate about Fes and it's people. The tour seemed to fly by as we were shown things that we never would have seen if we had just walked around by ourselves. He was very patient with our son and was extremely understanding when we had to stop our tour momentarily to feed him in the middle of the souk - he even managed to get a stool for me to sit on from a lady who was selling bread! One of the many things that made Abdul a first-class guide is that he did not once take us into a shop/s. His tour is purely based on the history and culture of the Medina (and Morocco/Fes) I can highly recommend Abdul to be anyone's guide in Fes . He gave us an excellent tour, not only visiting the important attractions and the more unexpected ones, but giving us a sense of the place that can only come from a native of the city who truly loves where he lives. He was able to answer any question, and made the day truly enjoyable and informative. As I said, highly recommended. if you want a tailor made holiday, choose Abdul , he will fill you with knowledge and you will leave wanting to come back again!

An absolute must for first timers, Fes made easy & Stress free - So very, very glad we hired Abdul for our first day. His rates, by the way, are a lot more reasonable than some of his competitors. He collected us from our Riad the first morning, with a plan to visit the main sights in a sequence to avoid the crowds. We used a taxi several times, Abdul negotiated the rate, (and we thus learnt the going rate for a journey, very useful as in our entire week there we never saw a taxi with a meter). Anyway, he really smoothed the path for us, stopping traffic so we could cross the road safely. Fes can be a trying experience for first timers, but no such worries for us, as we glided along serenely in Abdul' wake, pitying other tourists struggling with their maps, having to ask directions etc. However, when the experience was just there to enjoy, the king palais, and later lunch we had some time to ourselves. He took us around the souks in the afternoon, explaining their evolution and historical significance. There was no shopping involved or any attempt to introduce us to shopowners. Abdul provid a first rate guide, very knowledgeable about the history, architecture and cultural background of his city, but also a very warm and engaging character with a great sense of English. His English is fluent, and I believe he speaks other European languages too. We have taken a number of private/small group tours over the years and this is way up among the best.

Abdul Gives a Great tour In Fes - In our recent trip to Fes we hired Abdul services as a guide to introduce us to the city of Fes and its sites and culture. Abdul was very polite, communicated well and made effort to understand the people and their interest. He is well versed with the history of the country and the city he lives in. One can learn a lot from him about Fes long history. My family was very comfortable with him while he took us around the town and we had interesting conversation covering a range of topics making our tour more fun. He also helped us feel safe the whole time, and led us to some things we had been searching,of course we wanted to do some shopping,and his help was very useful. We would like to recommend Abdul without any reservation. Good Luck to him.

Excellent touring of fez medina - We are very experienced and well-researched travelers. After touring extensively throughout Europe for 2 years, we ventured to Fez for our first tour in Morocco, it is better to hire not only a guide, but also one raised in the Medina! It is a place overwhelming to the senses and beyond the possibility of getting lost for days. It takes a lifetime to know everything and everyone in the Medina and Abdul is your man! ! ! He knows absolutely everyone during this visit, he avoids the places you really want to miss and takes you to the high quality stores/souks and cooperatives. He is your “advocate” during price negotiation/haggling. Prices will start at 50-80% higher than market value. Please let your guide know in advance what you would like to experience/purchase to avoid wasting your and their time during your experience. Important and beautiful sights, high quality shopping, tasty treats on the street and excellent clean restaurants (RIAD RCIF) with a perfect view of the Medina , Abdul will take care of you! Any travel idea you have or want to experience in Morocco is possible thanks to the Best Fes Guide, just ask! Tip well for their time and care. You will absolutely have a comfortable and memorable experience in Fez and Morocco.

Highly recommend this fascinating and magical experience. - Fabulous tour guide (Bach) was very knowledgeable with a great understanding of the medina. Bach navigated us around this ‘labyrinth’ taking us to see the real artistans of Fez. We experienced carpets and rugs, copper work, leather at the Chourara tannery, the weavers and saw beautiful medrasas (Islamic School). We spent the most amazing 3 hours with Bach as our guide who is super friendly and funny. Highly recommend.

The Best Guide in The World - Abdul was one of the best guides I’ve ever had in a foreign country. His English sounded like his first language, His knowledge about culture and history was extensive and presented with the skill of a teacher, which he is. Hi made 7 hours with him cover 2-3 days of attractions. He also demonstrated empathy and observation, because he knew when we needed to sit, and he just made it happen as he taught us more about Moroccan culture, religion, and history. and as we were interested in shopping,he helped us at pricing and quality, as fez is the capital of handicraft. we really appreciate his service.

Fantastic Tour Around Fes! - Abdul was a fantastic tour guide in Fes! His knowledge of the city's complexities and history is truly impressive. We were grateful Abdul ensured we experienced Fes authentically, as he had us sample delectable foods and even took us to see hidden, local gems, such as the world’s first pharmacy, Riad Rcif, and his favorite bakeries and artisan shops. His warmth and expertise truly made our Fes experience unforgettable.
