Abdou gave us an amazing tour of the Medina of Fez, taking us through over 1,200 years of history. His English was excellent, and he presented the city’s architecture, streets, and stories in a way that felt like a captivating narrative rather than a standard tour. We visited all the highlights of the Medina at a relaxed pace, with no rushing and, importantly, none of the typical tourist-trap stops designed to pressure you into buying something. Through the history of Fez, Morocco, and the Medina itself—with its tanneries, neighborhoods, mosques, and hidden corners—Abdou created an engaging and memorable experience. Thank you for such a wonderful tour!

It was a great tour. Abderrahim is very knowledgeable about Fes and speaks perfect English. The tour was very well organized, and everything was explained clearly. He was also happy to answer all kinds of questions about the city. I would definitely recommend this tour.
Great experience! A lot of amazing facts that are not just taken from Wikipedia but you could really hear the passion and experience. Highly recommend
Rahim must be one of the best, if not the best, guides that I have met in all of my trips. I believe his being an ex-professor allowed him to create an environment of fun learning. He speaks very good English. He is definitely knowledgeable of Fes history (being a local) and delivers to us stories in a very interesting way. He took us to travel back in time at the Fes medina. He provided each one of us an audio which enabled us to understand and catch everything that he was saying -I hope all guides can also provide this very simple and yet practical gadget to guests. Rahim is the best!
Fantastic tour through the confusing maze that is the ancient city of Fes with a very knowledgeable, well-spoken tour guide. An excellent experience.
Excellent morning spent on this walking tour. We were all given an earpiece so we could clearly hear the guide. We went at a nice slow pace and saw lots of sights and learnt a lot about the history of the City and the culture. Highly recommended
Truly excellent guide that gives thought & sincere care about his tour of Fes. Don’t look any further when looking for a tour of Fes.
Perfect intro to Fes! We had a lovely morning with Rahim Abdou; he's super well informed, charming, and funny (without any of the usual terrible jokes). Learnt a lot about the history and architecture of the Medina as well as the social and cultural life of the city. One of the reasons we picked this tour is that he doesn't try and cram in rushed visits to all the sites on the tour, instead you get an introduction to some of the key sites, with information about them and you can then choose which ones to visit at your own pace without a big group. We wanted a specific dish for lunch after the tour and he kindly showed us to the street where we could get it. Great value tour. Many thanks, and highly recommended.
amazing tour!!!! abdul was so knowledgeable and such a sweetheart, would defo recommending getting a tour with him !!! He took us all around the medina and told us what areas were particularly photo worthy and even showed us the tannery, where we had a beautiful view of the Unesco world heritage site: the leather making areas ᵕ̈
This tour was the best introduction to Fes, very informative, interesting and well organized. The tour guide managed the three hours professionally and with a lot of fun. We would happily recommend him to visitors of Fes.
We can't recommend Abdul Rahim enough. His tour was very interesting, organised and fun. The whole group enjoyed his storytelling and interesting anecdotes.
Fes is a great city, but you need an excellent tour guide like Rahim Abdou to blossom its flowers.
We had a great tour with Abdourahim who was very knowledgeable about the history of Fes. Abdou pointed out things on the tour which we would never have noticed by ourselves and also took us to places that we would never have found without a guide. If you are planning to visit the Medina then I strongly suggest booking a tour with AbdouRahim.
The walking tour in the Medina in Fes was excellent. Our first time to visit in Fes. We (two persons) are from Hong Kong travelling by ourselves in Morocco. Our hotel in Fes arranged an English speaking guide for us. The guide was patient, friendly, professional, and had full knowledge of Fes. After finishing the tour, we know more about Fes and Morocco. The tour guide's name is Abdou Rahim. I would recommend him to anyone who is planning to visit in Fes. Thanks again Abdou!
Spectacular if you do it with Rahim Abdul (retired teacher who guides more for dedication than business). A temporary trip through the Medina from the 19th century (upper part) to the 9th century (lower part). Very interesting and very nice and familiar.Espev
