A Wonderful Day in Fez! - My husband and I booked this private tour of Fez, and it was one of the best experiences of our Morocco trip. Our guide met us at our hotel right on time and was welcoming from the start. The first part of the tour was by car, where we visited the Royal Palace, got amazing panoramic views of the city, walked around the historic Jewish quarter, and stopped at the Blue Gate. The second part of the tour was a walking journey through the winding alleys of the Medina. We would have definitely been lost without our guide’s local knowledge. He took us through must-see spots like the Al-Attarine Madrasa, the Mausoleum of Moulay Idriss, and the famous Chouara Tannery where leather is still dyed using traditional methods. He explained the history and culture behind each place, giving us a deeper appreciation of Fez and Moroccan traditions. Throughout the tour, he kept us well hydrated with free water bottles and always checked if we needed more. He was also more than happy to take photos of us and pointed out where we are allowed to take photos and videos. He helped us bargain for fair prices when we were shopping and took us to various local cooperatives for pottery, spices, cosmetics, rugs, and agave silk. There was absolutely no pressure to buy anything. Everyone we met was respectful and friendly, and happy to chat and answer our questions even if we didn’t purchase anything. We also got to try a variety of free samples of traditional Moroccan sweets, cheeses, and other foods while walking through the Medina. One of our favorite moments was when the guide led us to a hidden spot where we had the best mint tea ever, made with seven different herbs. It was free and felt like such a special experience that we would never have found on our own. At the Madrasa, the admission fees were not included in the tour, but the guide covered both of our tickets without asking for anything in return, which was incredibly generous. For lunch, the guide took us to a wonderful local restaurant where we were allowed to sample all the dishes in the kitchen before ordering. The food was the best we had in Morocco, and they even offered unlimited starters for free. The staff were just as friendly and welcoming as everyone else we met that day. Everyone in the Medina, from shopkeepers to street vendors, was warm, friendly, and genuinely happy to chat. We also appreciated how flexible the guide was during the walking tour. We never felt rushed and were able to go at our own pace. He even offered to help with dinner reservations when we mentioned it. One small thing to note is that the car’s air conditioning wasn’t working. It wasn’t a big issue though, since the weather wasn’t too hot (although my husband disagrees), and we spent most of the time walking in the Medina anyway. Overall, this was an amazing way to explore Fez. The hospitality from both the guide and the locals really stood out. Highly, highly recommend!

Amazing experience - We had a fantastic day exploring Fes with Abdul. He is incredibly knowledgeable, kind, and made us feel welcome from the very beginning. Everything was perfectly organized, and he went out of his way to make sure we enjoyed every moment. We learned a lot, tasted delicious local food, and visited places we wouldn’t have found on our own. Highly recommend this tour – and especially Abdul – to anyone visiting Fes!

Abdul was amazing! I... - Abdul was amazing! I rarely write reviews but this was a really great experience. He was very personable, knowledgeable, patient, and went above and beyond. We were able to see everything we wanted AND more. He was even kind enough to arrange a dinner reservation for us and provided us with a personalized and thoughtful gift. I would recommend Abdul to any of my friends and family.

Best tour I’ve ever taken! Abdul was an amazing guide - Book it! We were picked up on time in a clean comfortable Mercedes, the driver was professional. Abdul was the best guide ever! His English was impeccable and he gave us so much information. We went to a woman’s kitchen and sampled delicious cookies. Then we were first to arrive at the synagogue which was opened when we arrived. He had us sample candy, fruits, cheese, olives, rose water… He helped us shop-but there was no pressure to go to the carpet shop- the interior was magnificent-worth it even if you have no interest in buying a carpet. He took us to lunch in the Medina where we went into the kitchen and sampled a number of dishes before ordering. So fun. He went to another restaurant to bring us baby artichoke hearts that are only in season for a few weeks (we had seen them being cleaned in the market) He helped my friend find a good quality Fez for a good price. Took us to all the sights in the Medina. Genuinely nice, knowledgeable and exceptional guide!!

Excellent tour - My partner and myself had a wonderful and fascinating tour of Fes with Abdul. He was very professional and knowledgeable and brought the city’s history alive. The first part of the tour was by air conditioned minibus with various stops including 2 that provided panoramic views of the city as well as stops within the old city itself. The second part of the tour was walking through the streets of the old city including seeing various markets, several mosques, the university of Al-Qarawiyyin (the worlds oldest university) and the Chouara tannery.

A magical visit to Fes. Thanks to our guide Abdul. - Abdul was very knowledgeable and took us to some very interesting places. We enjoyed our time with him and he was very patient and helpful in the souks. His recommendations were very valuable and I would advise anyone looking for an excellent guide to choose Abdul. He himself is a world traveller and speaks many languages. His English was also excellent.
