Fantastic tour - We highly recommend Rachid, our guide in Fes. Recommended by our hotel, it took us all over the Medina. From the university to the Place Seffarine, from the Medersa to the Mausoleum My Idriss. Thank you Rachid, we keep the best memory of Fes!

Knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful - Rachid is a great tour guide and showed us all around the Medina of Fes. More than that, when I got sick from ingesting washed fruits, he was extremely helpful in finding meds, food, and a doctor. Above & beyond!!

Top guide - Rachid is a great guy, happy to amend the tour to suit your needs, fluent communication. Just skip the carpet store as it’s a rip off! Enjoy Fez and the beautiful sights, smells and insights.

Excellent and knowledgeable guide!!!! - Rachid was knowledgeable and easy to be with. He navigated the winding streets of the Medina with ease. We definitely saw things we would have missed had we explored alone (and might still be lost there attempting to find our way out 😄). He also recommended an excellent restaurant for lunch (do try the pastiche!!). It was a great day !!

He showed us the heart of Morrocco - I travel all over the world and experienced tour guides everywhere. This tour was unique because Rashid is a very special man. Rashid is incredibly intelligent, funny, and loves this magical city. He knows every alley way like the back of his hand. My sister and I received a tour from him and at the end we were in love with Fez. He shows you the heart of Morrocco! At the end you will feel Rashid is your family and Fez is your home. If you choose him you are lucky!

Highly recommend - This was a wonderful tour by a highly educated guide who grew up here. Rashid has a lovely manner, very warm and welcoming, very respectful and kind. He is educated not only in where things are, but the history and beauty of the place. If you want to spend the day dropping deeply into the old world of a beautiful city, he's the one.

Extremely Disappointed – No Show and No Communication - We had a deeply disappointing experience with Rachid, a tour guide we found through his website, which we accessed via TripAdvisor. I reached out to him on WhatsApp on July 27th to arrange a half-day tour of the old medina of Fes for the following morning, July 28th at 10:30 AM. We agreed to meet in the Al Batha area, and everything seemed confirmed. On the day of the tour, my wife, our young son, and I arrived at the meeting point five minutes early, full of excitement for what we hoped would be a meaningful and informative introduction to Fes. Unfortunately, Rachid never showed up. At 10:31 AM, I made the first call—no answer. I tried again at 10:35 AM—still nothing. I sent a message on WhatsApp at 10:37 AM asking if the tour was still happening. No response. We waited until 10:45 AM under the heat before finally accepting that we had been let down. Not only did this ruin our day, but it also disrupted our entire itinerary. We were only in Fes for one day and had planned this guided tour as the centerpiece of our visit. Left with no other option, we attempted to explore the medina on our own. While Fes is undoubtedly beautiful, the experience was chaotic and lacked the structure and insights we were hoping for from a professional guide. I’ve attached screenshots of our communication for transparency. I understand that unexpected issues can arise, but a complete lack of communication—no notice, no explanation, and no apology—is unacceptable. I wouldn’t recommend this tour guide to anyone looking for a reliable and professional experience in Fes.

Scam! - To flee absolutely! I lost a lot of money because of this scam. I am the victim of a fake guide named Rachid Sebbar – who takes you to complicit shops where he collects commissions, while putting you under great pressure to buy. He uses mental manipulation techniques, repeating phrases like “Don’t trust anyone,” to create a climate of fear and take control of your decision. The situation went so far that I had to block him: he started following me all over the city of Fes. I no longer felt safe or respected in my privacy. I finally cancelled my stay in Fez because of this very bad experience. It is a great shame that such a beautiful city is marred by the presence of false guides like this. Tourism in Fez deserves better regulation and protection to prevent other visitors from experiencing this kind of misadventure.
