Fes was fascinating! - We had a great tour with Rashid. He took us through the one million tiny alleyways in the medina. Without him, we would probably still be there. He showed us the artisans, explained what they did, explained customs and products and gave us a very good history of his fascinating city. Perhaps the best part of this tour was the trip to the art coop. We got to watch ceramics being made and painted, mosaic artists at work, and earned the processes for both. There is so much to learn and see in Fes and we felt that Rashid packed a huge amount into a half day tour. It was an outstanding experience. Thank you.

DONT MISS THIS TOUR - My guide Abdul arrived promptly at my hotel. I could not have asked for a better experience than the 4+ hours spent walking and learning about this wondrous and fascinating city. His knowledge far surpassed any guide I’ve ever encountered. The Medina and all within was covered with history and great detail to explaining the making of Fes. The tiles, wood, plaster, craftsmen, baker, carpets, Argan oils, spices, tannery, university, wood museum and so much more. You’re taken to specialty shops ie., carpets, spices, oils, and given ‘an informative pitch’ of their products with hopes they will sell something. Absolutely no pressure. I was not there to buy and made that clear but I appreciated the salesmanship! Be sure and look up⬆️ at all the beauty in the ceilings during your tour. Abdul himself is a well traveled man with a love and passion for his work and very proud of his city in which he was born. This tour was by far the best and well spent money ever. Thank you Viator, Yah Yah and Abdul!

Excellent walking tour with Yahya - Seeing parts of the Medina that we would never have found on our own. Yahya was excellent at sharing information and answering our questions. We took a rest to have mint tea and cookies with the locals which felt special. The mosaics and the architecture of the mosque was beautiful. We chose this tour because we could start later in the afternoon after we arrived from Casablanca.

Amazing Tour and Exceptional Service - Yah Yah was an incredible guide! We booked our tour just 1 hour in advance. Our pick up van showed up early to our hotel - we needed to be dropped off at a different spot in Fes for another excursion later in the day and Yah Yah assured us it would be no problem. He perfectly timed our tour, taking us to the highlights of Fes as well as great views. We never had to wait in a line. The tour was private and, along with getting to see a lot of the Medina, we also visited other spots in Fes and recieved some great history lessons from our guide. There is opportunity to purchase things made by locals but we did not feel pushed or pressured to buy anything at all - all optional. To top things off, Yah Yah insisted that a driver pick us up after our other scheduled activity nearly four hours after our tour had ended and drive us back to our hotel, 20 minutes outside of the Medina, at no additional charge. Exceptional customer service, knowledge, and hospitality. I would highly, highly reccomend!

Visit to Fez historic city of Morocco - The Medina of Fes is and the largest Medina in Morocco. You risk getting lost. On the first day it is advisable to take a guide. This is a strong experience of immersion in Moroccan culture. The city is one of the oldest in Morocco. Definitely a blast from the past with music, voices, sounds and colors of Morocco.
