Absolutely enjoyable tours - Better late than never...but I really wanted to leave a review, as Said was the best guide I could've asked for! Picked me up from my hostel (Dar el Yasmine, which I also highly recommend). He is a very gentle person and he also has great knowledge of the city and all its good places. Had a great conversation throughout the tour! Thank you Said :)

Couldn’t have asked for more! - I would highly recommend this tour! I can’t speak highly enough about Said, he was the perfect informative, respectful and kind guide around what is a confusing and busy Medina and made us feel 100% safe the whole time. Said seemed to have friends around every corner and was more than happy to discuss any topics we were interested in, took us to shops selling items that we wanted to see and went above and beyond to make our morning special. Said’s knowledge was incredible and more importantly his willingness to share information of the culture and religion in Morocco was something that we would not have been able to understand without him. If you are interested in gaining a good understanding of Fes, are wanting to try traditional herb tea, visit the tannery, watch fabric being crafted in the loom and want to have an unforgettable day in Morocco then you should book this tour!

highly recommend - Said is a great guide. He spoke excellent English, good communication style, and arrived early for our hotel pick up on the day of our tour. I felt we really checked off everything we needed to see in Fes, in just the 3 hours we spent together. He was very patient and accommodating. We asked a lot of question, and he gladly answered all of them. We went to some shops to understand local products but there was no pressure to buy anything. He gave us plenty of time to see each spot, and happily skip any if we’ve already seen it. Oh did I mention he is a great photographer? I highly recommend him.

Trip of a lifetime! - Said was the BEST tour guide ever!!! I wish he was available to take us on our tour in Fes since he’s from there, but he was available to give us a tour in Rabat, Essauira and Marrakech. He knew a lot about each city and about the places we saw along the way. He was kind, professional and helpful. He was one of the most informative tour guides I had ever used. He spoke English fluently and helped our group to navigate in the local cultures. I will definitely use Said again!! He showed us a trip of a lifetime!

Fantastic Tour - We had a fantastic experience with Siad on this tour of the Medina. He is very knowledgeable and gave us a great insight into Fez. We learned so much about the Medina and way of life there. He brought us to see the tannery and many other local craftspeople at work which was great to see. As the Medina in Fez is so big it could be easy to get lost and miss out on certain parts. After the tour we had a better sense of where to go. We highly recommend to take a tour with Siad as he is definitely one of the best guides I have met along my travels !

Wonderful introduction to friendly Fez - Saïd is a very kind, polite and easygoing guide that seems to know everyone in the Medina of Fez and every nook and cranny of this picturesque old city like the back of his hand. He was born and raised there, so I and my dad were surely at good hands for our first introduction to this amazing labyrinth of medieval alleys. After meeting us at the lobby of our hotel on time, Saïd explained in perfect English the history of the place and it's people, answered every question with patience and took us to some intersting sights, including genuine cooperative shops where there was no pressure at all to buy anything (which we didn't). We concluded the tour with a tasteful artesanal Moroccan tea at Abdullah, which is short of a Medina institution. For us the experience was like walking back in time, the old ways of life half a century ago. We left totally satisfied with the tour, especially considering the very good price. I can only recommend Saïd with flying colors, he deserves your attention.

Excellent tour from a local guide - What a great day with Said! He showed us the wonderful ceramic and leather co-ops where they showed us their hand crafts, no pressure to buy at all! He was very knowledgeable about the history and he grew up in the Medina, so he knew many people all around the city. Everyone was always smiling and friendly when you are with Said. He took us to little secret places that we could never find on our own, including a berber tea spot where we drank delicious 7 herb tea. Highly recommend! Thank you Said for making our trip to Morocco a special one :)

Can't imagine exploring Fez without Saeed - Don't even think about exploring Fez alone. Saeed is an amazing tour guide, fluent in many languages with a sexy accent ;) and very knowledgeable of the city and world history. He takes you to the best spots with many roof tops to see and photograph there city. He is also kind, selfless and overly accommodating. I am glad he was our tour guide.
