What an incredible experience! We did a guided cultural walking tour of the medina. Our guide Mohammed Yasin was absolutely amazing! Very knowledgeable. He answered all our questions, made sure that we saw everything of importance. The restaurants he recommended were top quality. We cannot thank him enough for going beyond the call of duty to make our stay in Fés an unforgettable experience. Shukran Yasin We will never forget you!

This tour was separated into two parts, driving and walking. We liked our driver Sammy who picked us up. He showed showed us a nice hill that we walked around on with a great view. That was nice. We drove by and did a quick stop at the blue gate, but I really wish we could have had more info on it. We were then taken to the ceramic co-op where we met “Chico” Mohamed. It started out good. He walked us through several good places though that we’re very interesting such as the community bakery and the weaving shop and tannery. He took us to all the shops that expect you to buy things in term for a demonstration. He did say that we’re not obligated to buy, but we did feel pressured. I guess there just no way around it. On the other hand, we did see some very interesting things because of the guide, so I don’t regret getting them. However, I’m not sure these two were “official” tour guides. The guides we were able to secure in Marrakech had official licenses and seemed much more professional. The walking guide “Chico” asked us if we liked the tour and when we said yes, he asked “would you like to give me something for it?” Which really put us off. We booked our tours in Marrakech with “Tours With Locals” and were able to read reviews for and select our guide, but they didn’t have Tours with Locals guides in Fes so that’s why we went with Viator. Also, I think the price here was a little high because our Riad showed us a paper that had official city regulated tour prices and they were way cheaper…like $40 per group for a tour. Overall it was ok. We wouldn’t use viator again, but it’s fine for what it was.

Great tour overall! I loved getting to see the artisans in addition to all the main sites. Started at the gate and walked throughout the old medina stopping every now and again to look at shops and stands. Got the chance to visit a beautiful old madrassa and observe the lovely exteriors of several ornate mosques. The best part of the trip however was learning about the different artisans and observing them in their craft. The guide took me to various places including carpet makers, ceramic artisans, tanners, carpenters, wood painters, and stone engravers. My tour guide, Najib, was great and super knowledgeable. Overall, I had a great time!

I wouldnt attempt the medina without a guide first up. We had a brilliant time thanks to Sami, organising and driving, and to Najib, educating and entertaining us whilst walking us around the 'good medina'. A few experiences i'll never forget...learning about Berber cultute, tea on the rooftop, great food and seeing the 'old ways' still going strong....tanneries, bakers, wood workers, artists, potters. Expect to spend a little along the way, but at a very (too) fair price, its more than worth it, 100% recommemd.

guide confirmed, only to cancel 1h30 before the meeting the next morning. We had to find another guide at the last moment.

Sami was very kind and accommodated our booking we placed in the morning of the same day. He drove us to a few locations for us to get out for a few minutes and take pictures, then he brought us to another tour guide who walked us through all the winding streets of the Medina expertly. We got to see all the things we were hoping to see, and got chances to buy goods from a few co-ops after getting explanations of their processes and work. The people at the co-ops gave some suggestions of what to buy but did not hassle us at all. Our guide asked if we wanted lunch, and took us to a restaurant and left us to eat and rest for an hour before seeing a few more sites and then bringing us back to Sami who dropped us back off. We would take the tour again! So much good information and a wonderful experience!

Our tour started in the high cliffs of the medina walls. With a panoramic view to the medina. Sami the driver and Najib the guide were the most fun and entertaining guides. Always smiling, giving options and suggestions for things to do. We are accompanied by Najib majority of the time. He is a great guide, super knowledgeable. Very good English and always willing to help, he speaks from the heart. The lunch was a bit more expensive than we would anticipate but the food was delicious and very large portions! So don’t worry, you will leave the restaurant very satisfied, if not rolling haha. I honestly recommend this tour if you would like to see the heart of the medina.

Fantastic tour in and around the old city in Fes. We started off with the car from the blue gate, then we went to the prince garden, the entrance of the royal palace, passing through the Jewish district. From there we want up to get a fantastic view of Fes from the famous tombs (just outside). After, a very interesting tour of the awesome ceramic of Fes, where and how they make them. Afterwards we started the great part of the tour within the Medina, the guide is very very nice and brought us in all different places: where they make the leather, different "secret" stores that you would never find alone, with very high quality products (you MUST negotiate); the university, mosques etc. We highly recommend!

Discovering different but fascinating culture and traditions. Sami was available and always there for our every need. We visited the old medina, the tannery, the pottery factory and the open-air markets always accompanied by a guide. I highly recommend you rely on Sami

Our guide was very knowledgeable about Fez and especially the Medina. He pointed out the best places to shop and the best local restaurants for authentic Fez delicacies.
