Morning Medina Route - We did a route with Jamal and was really interesting. He borns and grows in Fes Medina and it moves inside like the boss. We feel really comfortable and we enjoy with that route. See you next time

Great way to discover the medina - The tour with Jamal is a great mixture of history and local culture. We learned a lot about habits and local craftsmanship. Jamal took a lot of time in showing us around the Medina and answering all of our questions. You can really see that his heart beats for Fes.

Fantastic tour of Fez! - We had a wonderful tour of Fez with Jammal, exploring far more than we expected! Jammal had an immense amount to share about the city and crafted a tour that took us to unique places, including a wonderful stop for tea. On our six month trip of Europe and Africa this was one of our best tours. Would highly recommend a tour with Jammal!

Hire this man!!! - Jamal was brilliant! We had a wonderful time roaming the Fez medina and learning about its history. This was a much better way to get to know these narrow passages than wandering alone. Jamal was super patient with all of our questions and was happy to tailor the tour to our desires. We couldn't have asked for a better guide!

Worst walking tour experience. Tour guide did not show up and cancelled 3 minutes before the meeting time. - Jamal the tour operator cancelled the tour 3 minutes before the start time whilst we were waiting at the meeting point after walking 20 minutes to the meeting point. What a waste of time and energy and waking up early. Very disappointed.

Terrible - My experience was horrible. I did not go on a tour of Fes. My tour guide took me throught the back streets so I hardly saw the market area. He did not explain to me any of the history because of a language barrier but I requested an English speaking guide. My guide was constantly on the phone, smoking, and chatting with passerby. I did not see any of the beauties of Fes, though I tried to separate and go on my own he continued to rush me. The guide was nice he did serve me tea at his families home however we spent a very long time there most of my tour time which is awful I came to see the city! Furthermore, I was scammed by there Taxi service a typical fair from the airport to the city is 90-120 dirhams I paid 200. And when I questioned it an older man screamed and told me to pay the man. I also was not dropped off at my hostel despite giving him the address, instead I was taken to another hotel where they spent 20 minutes attempting to force me to rent there. I also wanted Henna but he assisted I go to his family again because apparently it would be cheaper, NOPE! This hurts so bad because I am a solo women here and I looked to this company for assistance while here.
