Honest, ethical and a professional tour guide of Fes - Absolute gentleman and a local of Fes with great historical knowledge and understanding of the 9200+ streets and alleys of the Medina. He tailors the tour to suit the group and provides advice to make your own decisions. Very considerate, polite and has a lot of integrity. We throughly enjoyed exploring Fes with Yassine and highly recommend him. He will make your stay truly memorable and worthwhile, taking all the hassle out planning and getting around in a very confusing maze.

A successful start to the holiday😁 - It was a very pleasant tour of about 5 hours through the city center. We saw a lot outside the city center and were driven up the mountain by vehicle. We had a lot of fun.

This tour was our favorite activity during our 12 day vacation in Morocco - This was our favorite activity during our 12 day vacation in Morocco. Do not hesitate to book this tour. We are so grateful that we had the privilege of getting to know Fes from a local. Yassine was born and raised in Fes and knows all the best shops, restaurants, and sights. He is an experienced and licensed tour guide who has been doing Fes tours since he was 8 years old. He showed us places that we would never find by ourselves. It’s very difficult to know where to go without a guide in Fes especially if you are short on time. Yassine took us to all the important and most interesting sites in the Medina where learned so much about Moroccan people, history, culture, architecture, religion, and customs. His English is excellent, and he answered all of our many questions about Morocco/Fes. He also took us to reputable and fair priced shops where we did not feel pressured at all by the salespeople. It was a very comfortable shopping experience. All of the shop keepers were friendly and explained the leather making/metal making/ wood making process to us without pressure to buy anything. Yassine Is a wonderful genuine person who made us feel so welcomed. We had last minute travel plan changes, and Yassine was so accommodating and was able to reschedule our tour. Thanks to Yassine, we had an amazing experience in Fes and really love the city and its people!

A definite must! - If you’re visiting Fes for a short amount of time, or if it’s your first time, this guided tour is a must! My husband and I would have easily gotten lost if it wasn’t for the help of our wonderful guide, Yassine. He was knowledgeable, friendly, spoke perfect English and we learned so much about Fes. We really enjoyed the day exploring, shopping, taking photos and getting to know the city better. Highly recommend!

Amazing guide to an amazing city - We booked on the 2nd day of Eid fearing a lot would be closed and we wouldn’t get the ‘full experience’ of Fez. Whilst a lot of the Medina was shut, all the heritage sites were open and Yassine helped us see the joy of coming on a quieter day, seeing beautiful sites without the crowds. We had a lot of fun, Yassine was an excellent guide and seems to know EVERYBODY! He gave the right amount of history (with knowledge gained from growing up himself in the Medina) and some excellent recommendations. Would 💯 recommend Yassine as your guide to the sights in Fez.

Excellent tour - 8 April we walked with our private guide Mohammed through the Souk. It was so nice, very small streets with lots of people, lots of stuff and nice sunshine. Mohammed explained all nice things, special small shops and how men went into and out of their shops. We went through very small and short streets. You will really loose your way without his help. We met his eight years old daughter and I saw a proud dad! Walking with him is so nice, a kind man and we really will recommand him with sightseeing!!! With him you will have a nice, and long walk through the narrow streets!!

Sales trip disguised as a tour - The first half of the tour was fine, but the the guide started taking us to merchants who were putting on very high pressure sales tactics for overpriced items in disguise as "learning about cooperatives" &etc. The rug salesman was especially egregious, pulling out dozens of rugs and pressuring us HARD to buy one when we never asked or expressed a desire to buy a rug at all. The skincare merchant also sold hard and her products were ridiculously overpriced. Definitely left a bad taste in my mouth.
