Moments magiques et enrichissants. - Nous sommes partis aujourd'hui avec ma mère en visite privée au Moyen Atlas, notre guide et chauffeur Zakaria a été génial ! Il nous a appris pleins de choses intéressantes sur la région de son pays. Sa conduite est sans défaut. Nous avons bien rigolé. Il est joyeux et de bonnes humeurs. Il est a l'écoute de sa clientèle, il nous a traité comme des princesses. Mon moment préféré c'était au parc de cèdres. C'était la première fois de ma vie que j'étais en contact avec des petits singes. Un pur moment de bonheur pour moi près du cèdre de Gouraud. Merci infiniment pour cette belle expérience et ce moment de partage.🙏 Je recommande vivement cette excursion que ce soit en privé ou en groupe. J'ai une préférence pour les visites privés car nous prenons notre temps et toutes les attentions sont exclusivement pour nous.

Great way to see Fes - What a great day! Our guide picked us up on time and we were off to see the sights. He was as great at asking about what we preferred to know (history, culture, architecture, etc) and was quite knowledgeable. Favorite thing was when he took us to the home he was born in that he had fully refurbished. His wife made us tea and we had a great time talking. Highly recommend!

Very good! - Excellent!! Jamal (if I recall well) was very thorough in the short amount of time we had. We saw the most “important” places and the explained to us cultural and historical during the tour. Recommended.

A magical experience discovering the Medina and Fes with the incomparable Mustafa - Amazing tour of the Medina and Fez with Mustafa 1 we’ll never forget it. His knowledge and passion for the Medina was infectious and he shared it with us in such an engaging way that I know we will never forget it. Everything from what the street signs mean, to the architecture and buildings in the Medina, one of the worlds oldest universities from 1200 and the library and high school, a water clock, the first psychiatric hospital dating from the 14th century. Mustafa treated us to amazing local food, showed us a traditional Hamman and introduced us to authentic artisans - everything from woodwork, jewellery, silk and dye, carpets and kilims , spices and argan oil, the tannery and leather. We loved it so much we ended up extending the tour to a full day, which meant we got to see the King’s Palace, the Jewish Quarter, and saw the traditional artisans making Fez ceramics. A magical day!

Great tour that covers most of the Medina - Although it was only half a day, we were able to experience the rich culture in the Medina. The guide was very enthusiastic, and showed us around all the places. He seemed to have many friends in every single area that we visited.
