めっちゃ親切でいい経験になりました！！Ahmed was the best guide in Fes! - 大学生で個人旅行で友人とモロッコに来ました。最初は初めてのモロッコでフェズの道が迷路すぎてビビってたけど、ガイドのアフメドさんにお願いして本当に良かったです。僕ら日本人でも聞き取りやすい英語で、イスラム教の教え、メディナの歴史から文化、今の暮らしまで詳しく教えてくれて、めちゃくちゃいい経験になりました。何よりアフメドさんの笑顔が本当に素敵で、安心できました。重い荷物を持った子供を助けてあげたりと優しさも垣間見えました。小さいお子さんが2人いるそうです。
一番助かったのが、伝統衣装を買う時にこっそり適正価格を教えてくれて、交渉まで手伝ってくれたことです。おかげで変にぼったくられず、いい買い物ができました。紹介してくれた「Kassr Annoujoum」というレストランも宮殿みたいに綺麗で素敵でした。行きも帰りもリヤドまで迎えに来てくれてレストランを予約したら、リヤドに帰る途中に行き方まで詳しく教えてくれました。別れ際に何かあったら連絡してねとも言ってくれました。誠実で温かいアフメドさんのおかげで、フェズが大好きになりました。またモロッコに来る機会があればアフメドさんにお願いしようと思います！
As university students traveling to Morocco for the first time, we were a bit overwhelmed by the maze of Fes, but Ahmed was the best guide we could have asked for.
His English was very easy to understand, and we learned so much about everything from history to modern life here. His smile is truly amazing and made us feel safe right away. He’s such a kind person—we saw him help a child with heavy bags, and he told us he’s a father of two little kids himself. You can really feel his warmth.
The biggest help was when we were buying traditional clothes; he secretly told us the fair price and even helped us negotiate. Thanks to him, we got a great deal without any stress! The restaurant he recommended, "Kassr Annoujoum," was stunning, like a palace. He even escorted us there and showed us the way back so we wouldn't get lost. His parting words, "Call me if you run into any trouble," were so reassuring for us. We love Fes now because of him. If we ever come back, we are definitely looking for Ahmed again!

We want to take him as a private tour guide in all our trips - We had a wonderful private tour in Fes with Ahmed. He was very pleasant to meet and immediately made us feel comfortable. He picked us up from our riad and had everything perfectly arranged, including assistance with our luggage.
Ahmed took us to several historic sites and later through the Medina and souks. His knowledge of history was superb, and he patiently answered all of our questions. While shopping in the souks, he was extremely patient and never rushed us.
He was also very accommodating—helping us find food, restrooms, water, and even acting as our personal photographer. Ahmed has a gentle demeanor and is incredibly kind, patient, and thoughtful. We highly recommend him to anyone visiting Fes.

Medina, Fez - This was an awesome tour. Ahmed was a great tour guide and very patient. There is a lot of walking and be careful with the donkeys! But the experience is amazing. We saw the tanning, carpet and Moroccan ceramic process. Amazing talent. We experienced traditional Moroccan food and spiced coffee. Delicious ! This is a personalized tour and Ahmed is there to provide you the best experience possible. We highly recommend it! Great way to experience the Medina and get all your questions answered!

A pleasant learning day in Fez - Our guide Ahmed was the best guide we’ve ever had in our travels all over the world. He’s a very caring and knowledgeable individual who went out of his way to answer our questions and changed the order of the places visited to accommodate our wishes. We saw a lot of Fez and learned about the history and culture of Morocco. This is an excellent tour for seeing Fez in a day. Lots of pleasant walks.

Tailored to our needs, very informative - We have a fantastic day visiting all the medina had to offer. It was tailored to our interests, which was the cherry on top.
Highly recommended, very knowledgeable!
It’s a labyrinth, you’d get lost without a guide!
Very reasonably priced
You’re not rushed, you can take as long as you want or need.
