We had great time exploring old Town of Fez with zouher. He showed us around in the town where you can easily get lost.. He had great knowledge of history of this city and speaks very well in English. I would highly recommend his services.

Zuir is a very good guide and can tell the history of Medina in a clear way. We saw handcraft works and the main monuments. Thank you!
Zouher was absolutely amazing. Very knowledgeable and helped us through the very confusing Medina of Fes. He helped us navigate and ever bargain for all the things we wanted. It was an amazing trip. I highly recommended!
Abdul was a phenomenal tour guide! He spoke very clear English and was so informative! We learned so many things about Moroccan culture and history. I highly recommend this tour!
Very nice tour of the city! Suggested time to start is 8.30/9h, when the Souk (market) is not open yet. It ends at around 14h with possibility to go eat to his friend but we skipped the lunch.
Beautiful experience and a very nice guide! The Medina is beautiful, and Fes is a wonderful city. The guide speaks perfect Italian and explained everything to us in a very interesting way!
Abderazak was a great tour guide and was very informative. We were able to learn and see a lot while also staying at a good pace.
Zouhire really nice and informative. Happy to help and show us what we wanted to see. Provided us with good explanations.
Zouhire was the perfect guide. Super friendly and he showed us nice places in the medina and around Fez. The real Moroccan experience!
The guide was very kind…he took me for my Riad and returned me back to it! the visit in some places to advertise their products must be removed from the itinerary I would appreciate more explanation on everything
We visited Fez for the first time and visited the Medina and the around the walls with Zouhire as our guide. He drove us around the alleys and provided useful insights - also he was fluent in italian, which was a big plus as not everyone in our family speaks english - I’d do it again and I can’t recommend the trip and Zouhire enough!
We had a nice afternoon tour of the old Medina with Zouhire. He showed us different shops and answered all our questions. Would recommend to anyone who needs more insight of the old town.
Zouhir is a good guide he has a good english, he show us the old medina , and he give us good idea about handy craft . It was a good experience with him I recommend . Thank you zouhir
The tour was incredible! Zouhire is the friendliest tour guide and he speaks 5 different languages. He knows the ins and outs of the old Medina so well and took us to all the beautiful view points surrounding the Medina and then inside. Helping us a haggle was a bonus! Even gave us Arabic names haha. 10/10 definitely recommend.
Great tour took us everywhere never was boring learned so much it took us to amazing food place and we learned about the art and culture felt very safe also got a few free souvenirs so fun:)
Tour guide Zouhire was the friendliest! He showed us all around and brought us to some amazing shops where we could buy leather and beauty goods as well as the most beautiful rugs! Not to mention he speaks portuguese, spanish, arabic, english and french.
The tour was great and the guide was truly kind and friendly, it explains everything about the city, the history and some special insights who only local peoples and professional guides know.
Thank you Zouhire for the lovely guided walk through the medina of Fez. We have learned a lot from visiting the craftmen.
I never expected to learn so much about the craftsmanship and all the beautiful artistry that the Moroccan culture has to offer. Zouhire was the best tour guide. He truly made our tour both an educational and enjoyable one.
Zouhire was extremely knowledgeable and did an awesome job negotiating for us on our shopping. Kept our best interests at heart. Very patient and provided historical information as he navigated us throughly the narrow streets of the Medina. Would fully recommend his services.
Amazing tour around old Medina, detailed explanation of the area. Would recommend this tour to anyone travelling to Morrocco.
A beautiful tour of the old Medina, zouhire showed us around all the amazing spots and was so kind and friendly. We learned and saw so much. Would highly recommend to anyone travelling to Fes.
We had a very good experience with guide Zouhire. His English is very good. He took time to answer all our questions, took us to multiple craft factories. And helped us to see Fes from a different angle. Thank you very much!
Everything was amazing! Zuhiri was super friendly and nice. We enjoyed a lot our visit, 100% the right choice. The shops were also very good.
Good tour, with good explanation. We visited the oldest university, moskee, the shops. We visited the leather making.
Abdou was very nice and extremely knowledgable. He had very nice tidbits to share abt the Medina and all the sites we saw :)
Abdou was very knowledgeable, answered all our questions and took us on a wonderful tour of the Medina! We took many photos and he was great at explaining the importance of each location in the Medina!
Zuhir did a great job! He helped us find everything we needed and wanted to see. He made great recommendations. He was very knowledgeable.
Abdou is a fantastic guide, took mother and I across the marketplace in Fez. Was a very kind, calm, and soft-spoken tour guide, very professional. Gave us as much time as we needed at all the reputable shops. This was my first time in Morocco and it was great to have Abdou show us around. Overall, a very awesome experience and would recommend to anyone.
Absolutely would recommend Abdou!!! Wonderful tour of the old Medina in Fes. Took us to very reputable shops , helped negotiate fair prices, gave us great history lesson . Will definitely have Abdou take us more places next time we visit Fes. Five stars for Abdou !!!❤️🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦
Very helpful. An essential guide to fully enjoy the atmosphere and cultural riches of the Medina
Visit all the points of interest with a caring guide. Highly recommended!
Fantastic trip super professional and very kind If you want to visit Fes, he is the number 1
Zouher the best guide of all, an amazing experience, super recommended, thank you very much for everything, has guided us in everything, thank you for your help!!
We really enjoyed the tour and zouher was very friendly and helpful throughout. Fits all our suggestions
Great friendly and competent guide with a good Italian. He introduced us to the Medina and many corners where we will never have arrived alone.
We had a nice tourguide that showed us the ins and outs of the Medina of Fez. The guide came from Fez and knew a lot to tell. We are at the tanneries, a hammam and the streets where many carpet / fabric makers and oil / spice shops were. At each of these highlights we stopped for a moment and got an explanation in a shop / the hammam and the time (and maybe also expectation) to buy / book something. We had booked the tour as a private tour at our accommodation, but it turned out that 4 others were also coming along. That was okay in itself, but not as agreed. I would definitely recommend the guide because he knows a lot about the city and it is a handy way to see a lot in a half day. After this you can go and look around yourself!
It was a great day with zouhire he showed us a lot. Everything I had on the list we saw. His English was also very easy to understand 👌🏼
Touring without a guide in the labyrinthine alleys of the medina of Fes is impossible and our guide was adept at understanding our interests, advising us x the best and making us discover hidden corners of paradise.
The visit to the Medina of Fez was very interesting. The guide very prepared, engaging and always available.
La. Guide is very prepared (she was born and raised in the medina of Fes), helpful and friendly. He took us around the old town and told us about Moroccan culture, customs, customs and traditions. Fantastic experience. Recommendedsosms
Beautiful ride in the Medina with Zouhire (impossible to turn alone) who gave us great tips for shopping and food. Super recommended
Super fun tour with lots of historical explanations and visit of nice sights in the beautiful, busy medina.
Had a great tour! The guide knows every road in the Médina, which will take you to places where you would not just end up.
The guide very friendly and attentive, we went through all kinds of markets, every place we went were very friendly, explained everything. We went to a garden, where the leather is worked, recommended a very good place to eat. I would repeat the safe experience
We spent the morning with Zohire, very kind. He accompanied us discreetly and explained the main points of the Medina.
Excellent to discover the narrow streets of Fez, local life during El Ramadan and learn about weaving techniques, copper forging and traditional fur pickling. Thanks Abdou:)
Zouhire is a very friendly and explanatory guide. He had quickly and insightfully introduced us to the most important things in Fez. Now I know a lot more about the oldest medina in Morocco. Worth 3.5 hours with Zouhire. Thank you🤝
