Then, we continue to the Borj Nord for a panoramic view and end your outside tour in the pottery section, where you will visit the artisans making mosaics and tiles. Later, with your guide you will explore the old medina called Fes El Bali (9th century section).

We truly hit gold with Khlafa! Tailoring our tour on the fly with just a quick conversation, he is the perfect combination of passionate knowledgeable guide and humorous lighthearted personality. He is so proud of his country, and to make it even better, he’s in the middle of his PhD in ecotourism and patrimony. He trains many guides, and to top it off we saw he is very generous with many locals in need. Also, if you’re a foodie, this is your man. Google maps will never get you to the restaurants Khlafa can get you to. The first one wasn’t even signposted! I learned so much about Fez in a fun way I didn’t want the tour to end. And that exactly did happen— we loved it so much our half day tour turned into two full days and we still had tears at the end. If you want the best Fez tour ever, just contact Khlafa and he’ll make everything come to life for you. 😀Excellent tour with a very educated guide! Khlafa is passionate about history, islam and Moroccan culture and is eager to make his clients a bit less ignorant by sharing his knowledge. Thank you for a meaningful and educative experience in Fez!

We enjoyed the tour and recommend to anyone who is planning to visit FezIt was a great tour. Mr Khlafa was a perfect tour guide for us very knowledgeable of its history on city of Fes derived from the golden axed.. The mazed of the city with hundreds of alleys really confused me how people could easily find it's way. A big modern city for me planning to revisit soon..

But I consider the price through Tripadvisor (€88) too high.
