Highly highly recommended. Wonderful tour. - We had a wonderful half day walking tour with Adil.
His knowledge and explanation (english for us, but he speaks 7 languages...) of the Medina was fantastic.
We saw the major sites, as well as walked through so many small, varied and local streets as he explained the history - places we wouldn't see on our own.
We highly recommend, and it's good to offer direct business and support to born and raised Fes Medina local.
Do yourself a favour and do this tour.

Unforgettable Tour of Fez with Adil Bakkali – 10/10! - We had an absolutely amazing experience exploring Fez with our tour guide, Adil Bakkali. He is a fluent English speaker and incredibly knowledgeable about the city's rich history. He gave us fascinating insights at every stop, including the University of Al-Qarawiyyin, Moulay Idriss II, the museum, tannery, souk, and several beautiful madrasahs.
Adil was friendly, patient, and always smiling. He made us feel comfortable and welcomed from the start. He also knows the Medina inside out, guiding us through its narrow alleys and hidden corners. Because he’s well-known in the community, we were greeted warmly by locals throughout the day.
We had time to take photos, enjoy drinks, do a bit of shopping, and truly absorb the atmosphere of the city. It was a memorable and enriching experience that we’ll never forget.
Highly recommend Adil as your guide in Fez – a solid 10/10!

Highly recommend! - We had the best day with our tour guide, Adil. He picked us up from our hotel and we walked at a leisurely pace and had ample time to take photos and do some local shopping which was important to us. Adil was thoughtful, considerate and very flexible to our needs. We wanted to do some additional activities such as get henna which he brought us to as well. He was very knowledgeable and we had a real, authentic experience from a local. We wouldn't hesitate recommending Adil for future tours within Fes. We have enjoyed so much that we will be doing another tour with him in a few days outside of the medina. Thanks so much!!

Best tour ever - I am so grateful to Adil for giving us one of the best tours ever! He was extremely kind and also made sure we never felt pressured to buy anything or get scammed (which we appreciate so much). We would not have seen half of the things he showed us by ourselves as the Medina is quite hard to navigate without knowing the area well. On top of that, we love supporting family businesses and was so happy that this is one of those. We will recommend all our friends to take this tour. I hope you guys continue this business and thank you for being so amazing!

Excellent guide, fantastic English and humour. Don't go past, money well spent. Our highlight of Fez. - Ussam was an excellent tour guide, knowledgeable, friendly, spoke excellent English. (Although he speaks 8 different languages!!!) He was a delight to walk with. It was so interesting visiting the Fez medina. We were picked up from our hotel at 9.30 and returned at 2.30pm, by Mohammad our driver. Ussam showed us so many things and explained it very well, with there being almost 10,000 streets in the medina he knew exactly where he was taking us. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend him as a guide. We had a fabulous time. Only bit that we didn't expect but should have, was the opportunity to buy carpets, leather goods, scarfs etc however Ussam helped us navigate the bartering system well and we certainly didn't buy in all of the places, we said no to lots and yes to 1 or 2. Just be sure of yourself if you wish to buy or not, don't feel pressured, walk away.
All in all, it was a fabulous time with a great guide. We'd totally commend him.
Thank you Ussam, Peter & Lynda, NZ

Would recommend, 10/10 - Hisham took care of everything and made our visit to Fes better than we could have hoped for! Instead of having to stare at our phones to navigate the labyrinth that is Fes, we were treated to a thoughtfully planned out tour that stopped at all the sites we wanted to see and some we didn’t know about. If you are coming to Fes, ask for Hisham.

Great tour! - Abdul was great. Interesting tour of Medina. Got a lot more out of it than I would have done if we had gone on our own. Abdul invited us to his home for tea to avoid the rain. It was fun talking with him! He was born and raised in fez.
