Amazing experience. - Hicham was such a great guide! He met me on time and took me all over the Medina. His English is perfect. He grew up in the Medina and studied abroad. He is very knowledgeable about everything. He spent so much time with me, more than I expected, and was so kind. He took me to many craft areas that were not typical. I learned a lot.I recommend him very very highly.

Great tour! - Excellent tour. A must do if visiting the Medina for the first time. Be prepared to walk a lot and bring cash for lunch. Our guide, Imed, was the best - professional, kind and knowledgeable. He will also go at your pace as needed. Thankfully Imed was communicative too. When you walk out of your hotel be careful of another person on the street telling you (or rather insisting) that they are your guide when they are not! Really!!! Ask who they are meeting and if they do not know your name, do not go with them.

Great Walking Tour - What a great way to see the Marina of Fes. Hicham was a great guide and gave a great tour. He was personable, friendly, and knew the Madina very well. From restaurant recommendations to shops to visit. We would definitely recommend this tour to anyone looking for a great intro to Fes!

An authentic Medina experience - We had an incredible tour with Imad. As someone born in the Fes Medina himself, Imad provided an comprehensive and authentic experience visiting rug makers, the tanneries, spice shops and many other stops. Would definitely recommend.

That's great! - Hicham is great! An unforgettable experience in Fez! Not only did it open its doors to the history and beauty of this fascinating city, but it also gave us a profoundly human experience. In addition to passionately telling us the anecdotes and historical facts about Fez, he shared with us fragments of his personal life. I was particularly impressed by the way he explained the Islamic religion, not only historically and culturally, but also through anecdotes and personal reflections. This allowed us to better understand local traditions and customs, greatly enriching our experience. We did the tour (more than 5 hours) during Ramadan and with two children under 5. Hicham proved attentive and considerate even with respect to their needs!

Go with Adil - Adil was the perfect guide. He imparted his local knowledge with great English fluency and showed us around the medina, stopping at many artisan workshops.. Top afternoon.

They also arranged things for us individually and we had an invaluable time! - I had heard that the medina of Fez was like a maze and lost at first sight, so I applied for this tour which was well reviewed. As soon as the tour started, it was really fun to plunge into the medina and squirm through the maze of medinas, an experience that can only be found here! Whatever I asked, he taught me attentively, and I was able to get to know Fez and Moroccan history and culture very well without running out of conversations along the way. Also during the tour, I said, "Do you want to be in this building?" And they asked me what I wanted, and I said, "I want to go here!" even in places I didn't have planned." I told them and they arranged the tour and took us with them, and we had a really great time!
