Great tour! - Salim is an amazing guide, he knows perfectly every detail of the Medina. He showed us all the main monuments and the curiosities. But we could also learn about the history and the traditions of this unique country. We really appreciate it and we recommend him. Thank you Salim!

Deep dive into Fes culture - Salim took us ALL over the medina and gave us so much great information. Highlight was making Moroccan "burgers" in the bakery the old way. Awesome!

A week in Fez and surrounding areas - Very competent French-speaking guide, very educated with anecdotes about the city and who introduced us to places less frequented by tourists. The driver Abdelkader was always available, did not count his hours and took us off the beaten track.

Worth it! - I had just landed in fes and had just a day and am so glad I booked this tour as it covers all important attractions. The guide was very considerate of my physical limitations and very patient as well. I highly recommend it

Happy tour of Fes! - Salim was an awesome guide! He was right on time at our Riad and we loved our tour with him! He is very knowledgeable and multilingual. He showed us all the important parts of Fes and we were able to see things that we never would have found on our own! Fes is a bit complicated to explore on your own and we were very happy to have found Salim! After the tour he sent us several pictures of places we had seen that day! Thank you Salim!

Highly recommended - We loved this tour with Salim! It was the best way to see also less popular/touristic areas of the medina. Salim knows the medina very well and he will not bring you to touristic shops. I absolutely recommend it!

Get immersed in Fez - Salim was a ball of energy from start to finish. He walked us through every inch of the medina, explaining the history and sights in an interesting and engaging way. We laughed the whole time. Salim seems to know everyone which helped to create a great experience. Get ready for a fun day when you work with him.

Excellent all-around experience - If you want the best experience with Fes, you will need to go with Salim, our guide for the tour. He went out of his way to ensure that we see everything that was in our list. An honest, hardworking and knowledgeable guide. At the end of the tour, I had forgotten my hat at the restaurant. Once I reached the hotel, he personally collected and delivered it to me. Cannot thank you enough Salim!

Fes half-day tour was OK, but a tedious guide - First the good things: The guide tested to confirm everything before the tour, picked us up when promised, and showed us everything, as agreed. Now, what we didn't like: Hopefully, the tour guide will accept this as constructive criticism. Every sentence he spoke ended with "my dear sir" or "my dear madam" . 4 hours of this. His personality was not like what you might normally expect from a tour guide. I'll leave it at that. He did what was agreed to, but I found the tour tedious. I don't like leaving this kind of review, but others should know that this tour was out of the ordinary for what we have come to expect from Viator.

Confusing - That was not a private Guided tour, and we ended up being part of a free tour!!!! I really don't like the idea of joining a free tour, I like to pay for what I'm getting and value the work the guides they do. Our guide was nice but hard to understand what he was saying.
