Beautiful experience in Fez medina - Tourguide Rachid was a winner. All questions were answered. He tells a lot about the medina. He took us places you'd never find yourself. We were in the souks and visited many places where handicrafts and professions that are extinct with us. Tannery and silversmith. Do not skip fez medina is great with this guide in good English, I highly recommend it. Thank you Rachid!

Great day at the Medina - Exploring the Medina of Fes can feel overwhelming at first it is a labyrinth of history, culture, and thousands of narrow streets, but having such a knowledgeable and passionate guide made the experience absolutely unforgettable.
Our guide brought the city to life. Instead of just walking us through the famous spots, he explained the deeper history and hidden stories behind everything we saw. We visited incredible places that most tourists would never find on their own, including historic schools, artisan workshops, hidden rooftops with breathtaking views, and fascinating corners of the Medina that reveal how the city has functioned for centuries.
What impressed me most was his ability to explain the cultural, architectural, and historical significance of Fes in a way that was engaging and easy to understand. You could really feel his pride in the city and his desire to share its heritage.
He was also incredibly kind, patient, and attentive — always making sure we were comfortable and tailoring the visit to our interests. Navigating the Medina with him felt effortless.
If you are visiting Fes, I strongly recommend taking a guided tour of the Medina, and if you can do it with this guide, even better. It completely transforms the experience and allows you to appreciate the true depth and beauty of this extraordinary city.
One of the highlights of my time in Morocco.

Wonderful experience in Fez. - Rachid met us at the train station and accompanied us (by car) to our Riad. This was a huge benefit because our Riad was inside the Medina and we would never have found it on our own! The next day he led us on a tour of the Medina, giving us a comprehensive history of the main features - the university, historic mosques, the tannery and more. Rachid is very knowledgeable, personable, conversant in English, French, Arabic and maybe more. Highly recommend !

Fantastic tour of Fes Medina! - Rashid was an amazing guide to the Fes Medina and really helped us make sure to see all the sights and shops. He helps us find Moroccan slippers for our friends and family as well as bribing us to a delicious restaurant for lunch. Having a Fes native show us around really made a huge difference as we navigated the crowded labyrinth of the Medina.

Medina tour from a native - We booked a tour through our riad, and that’s how we met Rashid! He grew up in the medina of Fes and was able to swiftly navigate the winding streets. We were introduced to libraries, universities, learned the difference between a riad and dar, and were taken to various shops where we learned about the crafts/artisans of Fes.
