Mohamed is a guide... - Mohamed is an exceptional guide!
He offered us a real immersion in the medina, with great generosity and without counting his time. He knows everyone, which has allowed us to live unique moments: having tea, tasting fresh bread, visiting different artisans, discovering places rich in history – all without any pressure to buy. The experience was pleasant and rewarding.
As a bonus, he even organized us the rest of our day with dinner in a typical Moroccan restaurant and called another Mohamed, a very nice taxi driver, to tour the main sites outside the medina. A full and memorable day, from 9:30 am to 6 pm, that we are not about to forget!

NO way it could have been any better - I don't know what we did to deserve the best, but we got it.
Our guide, Hicham, started the complete fascination of Fez in less than one minute out of our Riad door.
When he told us he actually grew up in the home next door, we were hooked to every word he said.
A 10 minute description of the Riads, Dars, streets, alleys, doors and everything else within the first 20 steps enforced his absolute love and knowledge of the Fez Medina in every way. I could not imagine this 4 hour tour being any better, which actually turned into 5, and he would have kept going if we had let him.
A perfect day ending with his dinner recommendation, a perfect dinner.

Mostafa is enthusiastic and knows the medina and the people who live and work there. I could not have had a better experience.

Without a guide, you cannot find your way out of the Medina - Do not attempt to navigate the old city of Fez without a guide. The Medina is huge, with thousands of narrow alleys which they consider streets. You cannot navigate with Google Maps, so do not attempt this without a tour guide.
This is a real community - not just a jumble of old buildings. The tannery is a must-see, as is the university. The best part is a pleasant walk in an enormous historic site.

Fun in Fes - I can't say enough about my guide Jamal. He is one of the best I've had anywhere. He was very attentive and went out of his way to show me Fes and explain the history. His choice of shops were high quality. Will tell all my friends about him

A good decision - We thought it was a good idea to see the Medina accompanied, as we had been told about the maze that walking through its streets can entail. We ended up happy, much better than having visited on our own.

Fez, Marrocos - Fez is a beautiful city, clean and organized. Receptive people. It’s worth seeing the city and everything else it has to offer. Be careful with the shops that guides take, like.... wallpapers, ceramics and others, expensive items, too boring sellers.....kkkkkk
