Artesanal wonders - Love love love the Medina in Fez.
The smells, the sights (made 100s of pics at every turn) the sounds and then the artisans! The skills are incredible and Abdul was very good in explaining everything.
We saw the weaving and the tanneries, and soo many beautiful hand made products.
Highly recommended

Perfect - I had the opportunity to take a cultural tour in Fez with Zakaria, and it was an incredible experience. His in-depth knowledge of the city’s history and culture made the tour even more rewarding. He guided us through the alleys of the medina with great passion and shared fascinating anecdotes. I highly recommend Zakaria to all those who wish to discover Fes in an authentic and immersive way. Thank you again for a wonderful day.

Abdelali - great guy, very hospitable! - Ali is great. So helpful and helped us a get a private guided tour of old Medina (inside and outside the walls) for a group of 3 of us. The tour guide picked us up from the hostel we stayed at and dropped us back off. The price was reasonable as well. On our first night he gave us a map of the old Medina and pointed out where things are + called us a taxi to the train station on check out day. Amazing person - 10/10, definitely recommend.

Abdelali Hospitality 10/10 - Ali was such an amazing guide to us upon arriving to the old medina in Morocco! We booked a private guided tour through him and everything went very smoothly! My friends and I got to choose a time for the tour and enjoyed the whole day with our tour guide getting to know the medina inside and out. He was very hospitable and very responsive. Highly recommend booking through him!

Great tour of the Medina - The leadership was great, especially for me as an individual. The streets of Fes are very confusing and the guide who picked me up directly at the Medina Social Club showed me the main places of the Medina (incl. tannery). The tour was in English, but he could have held the tour in French or Spanish. I felt very comfortable and could really ask anything, the guide also answers many questions about Moroccan culture. I would book the tour again and again, especially because it was so spontaneously possible (I only booked at 4pm for 6pm).
A clear recommendation!
