Fantastic tour of Fes - Our family of 5 had a great tour with Mohammed today in Fes. He was engaging, patient and knowledgeable. He explained the history of the city and took us to see different artisans. He also guided us with the haggling (which we were terrible at!). I feel that we have a far better understanding of Fes and have purchased much better souveniers than we would have without him. He also took us to a great little lunch place that was both super delicious and super cheap.

Excellent Guide to Fez Old City by Authentic resident - We did two tours in Fez first day with another local guide and second day with Mohammed. Hands down recommend him for history of city and knowledge of sites in and out of old city. The other guide would point us to read signs while Mohammed would know the answer and go into historical facts about sites. Highly recommend!!

Best tour guide in town - A very relaxed and informative guide. Can I recommend to anyone to get an overview in the medina. You have a bit of time to yourself everywhere and stroll comfortably through alleys, past market stalls and enjoy Fèz.

Best Guide in Fes! - Our walking tour of Fes with Mohammed was easily one of the highlights of our entire trip. From the moment we met him, it was clear we were in the hands of someone who knows the city like the back of his hand. Mohammed is incredibly knowledgeable—not just about the history and culture of Fes, but also the small details, stories, and hidden corners that only a true local expert could share. One of the best parts of the tour was how he guided us to authentic shopping spots, straight from the source. Whether it was artisans, leather makers, or handicraft workshops, Mohammed made sure we saw the real craftsmanship of Fes without any tourist traps. He also took us to an amazing hidden restaurant we never would have found on our own. The food was authentic, fresh, and unforgettable—one of the best meals of our entire journey. Everywhere we went, people knew Mohammed. He’s like a local celebrity and an incredible ambassador for Fes. His warmth, professionalism, and pride in his city made the entire experience feel personal, safe, and truly special. If you want a genuine, insightful, and memorable tour of Fes, ask for Mohammed. You’ll be glad you did!

Muhammad, The Guidefather! - As first time visitors to Fez, we could not have found a better guide to show us the city and surrounding area. Muhammad grew up in the Medina and we felt comfortable and trusted his suggestions as he navigated the route through the thousands of narrow passageways. We visited cooperatives which was important to us because we share their philosophy and would have been difficult to find on our own. He explained Moroccan history and was an ambassador for the heart and mind of the Moroccan culture. His survival tips were invaluable to us and helped us feel safe. In our three day visit, we also were driven by Moustapha to Roman ruins, Middle Atlas Mountains, Meknes and Berber caves. In summary, these gentlemen were trustworthy, caring and authentic guides. From the first phone conversation to the final hugs goodbye, Muhammad gave us a brotherly connection. Judi and Frank November 2025 USA

Touring the Medina with Mohamed - I doubt you could find a better guide for Fes than Mohamed. As he will tell you, he was made in this city. He seems to know everyone and greets them with a smile as he leads you through the streets and alleyways of the Medina. He has many stories to tell and good tips if you want to buy something special. I recommend you hire him. It you do, ask him to make a Moroccan hamburger for you.

A Single Day in Fez's Medina - With just a single day to tour Fez, our local guide, Mohammed, focused on the Medina, old city. Before beginning, he took us to an elevated site by the cemetery, so we could get a bird's eyes' view. After, we explored the many Moroccan crafts: mosaic tiling, ceramics, metalworking, weaving, wood carving, the renouned tannery, and the use of the argan tree's nuts to produce various oils.His English was audible, understandable, and peppered with a wonderful sense of humor. He shared his knowledge of his home city's ancient history, proudly sharing interesting facts, along with explanations that made the tour more meaningful & memorable. He seems to know many of the medina's residents & shopkeepers and the restaurant he suggested provided tasty dishes and generous portions.
