Excellent tour in Fes. - This was an excellent tour in Fez. Mustafa was knowledgeable about the city. He was happy to stop & answer our questions about what was being sold in the Medina. We loved learning the history of the area & also learning about his time as a child in Fes. Mustafa listened to us & adapted the tour at our request. A superb tour guide, thank you Mustafa for a memorable day!

Getting to know Fes with a passionate local who knows and loves the city inside out - Mr. Mostafa Hayani is a very knowledgeable tour guide with a passion, but also a local and a gentleman. He was kind enough to arrange for last minute time changes and took us around the medina where he feels right at home and made us feel so too. Can t recommend him enough.

Great experience - I took a tour of the Medina in Fes (fes city tour). Mustafa, the tour guide and owner, was very knowledgeable and humorous, and explained the history of the old city in easy-to-understand English. It was very interesting, educational, and fulfilling. Mustafa was also a very kind and generous person. He was very sincere in his response, so I felt very comfortable. I think any plan by this tour company is reliable. If you go to Fes, I recommend using this tour company!

One of the best experience of my life! - This tour was one of the best things I have ever experienced! Mustafa was not only a guide but I can safely say is now a friend. I was lucky enough to catch a day where it was just him and I and the amount of kindness and knowledge that Mustafa had/showed was inexplicable. He is the reason I want to come back to Morocco! Fez is beautiful!

The most amazing experience around Fez! - I was travelling solo in Fez and I decided to have a guided tour around, and it was such a great decision. I wanted to know more about the city and all the history behind. Before going to Fez I've also looked into some workshops and I decided I wanted to do a pottery one. My Riad arranged everything with Omega Tour and I spent a full day with Mustapha - we went to do some sightseeing out of Medina, to see the views around the city and we walked and checked-in into the major attractions of the Medina - and obviously, we made it to the pottery workshop. Mustapha was beyond amazing and I definitely recommend a tour with him - we was very kind when I explained what was my goal with the tour, what I was looking for to feel and see. and it was great that he made everything to meet all my expectations. Also, I'm very curious and made a lot of questions, and he always gave me an answer with a smile on his face. Mustapha has a great knowledge about Fez history and the journey is full of insights of the ancient Fez. I can't forget the amazing familiar restaurant where he took me for lunch - best meal ever. And the pottery workshop - WOW - Mustapha and everyone from the place made all the efforts to give me the best experience. And yes, I had such a great time! If you're looking for an unforgettable experience with someone local, I recommend a tour with Mustapha and Omega Tour. All your wishes will become true in Fez.

Perfect Intro to Fes - Mohamed was a great guide — informative, friendly, and flexible. A Fes native, he had an excellent tour planned for us and was more than happy to add to it based on our interests. The Medina can be tricky to navigate and having Mohamed as our guide was the perfect way to see all the main sites and learn the history behind them.

The Best Experience for an Uptown gal/boy traveling Morocco - I arrived in Morrocco on a business trip and had the best time! I was fortunate to have Jaafar as my guide through the mazed city of Medina, Fez, and its rural outskirts. As a local, Jaafar and the team knew how to curate a unique experience for me as an individual rather than have me follow some generic tour. My background is in fashion and cosmetics, so we ventured to the Tannery where I indulged in learning the process of making custom, quality leather goods. The outfit in the showroom themselves displays a high-level skill set of ateliers, making every purchase a sound investment for any uptown gal/boy making their way through Morocco. Jaafar also took me to a holistic cosmetic store and manufacturer which was at the top of my list however what I got to see was far more than what I expected. I will definitely return with friends in tow and book with Omega Tours.
