Unforgettable Day in Fez with Mimoun! - Mimoun Rochdi is a fantastic local guide who knows his stuff. We are so happy we got him to show us around and share with us things we wouldn't have known had we walked around ourselves.

Fes Medina - We had an excellent tour with Rachid in the medina in Fes. Rachid was very knowledgeable about all aspects of life in the medina and he showed us all the great work that the artisans do in the medina. He shared information on the history of the medina and how it operates today. Thanks for a great day!

5 hour tour Fes medina - Thankyou Rachid for a very informative full day tour of the medina. I particularly enjoyed the copper smiths and the intricate work in the filigree lights

Wonderful day tour - We had a wonderful tour with Rachid today. He took us to see the Madersa Bou Inania, the Nejjarine Museum, the Place Seffarine and many other places, including the tanneries, and explained everything in detail. It was a great experience - we couldn’t have done this by ourselves. Thank you, Rachid, it was a fabulous day.

Fantastic tour - We highly recommend Rachid, our guide in Fes. Recommended by our hotel, it took us all over the Medina. From the university to the Place Seffarine, from the Medersa to the Mausoleum My Idriss. Thank you Rachid, we keep the best memory of Fes!

Extremely Disappointed – No Show and No Communication - We had a deeply disappointing experience with Rachid, a tour guide we found through his website, which we accessed via TripAdvisor. I reached out to him on WhatsApp on July 27th to arrange a half-day tour of the old medina of Fes for the following morning, July 28th at 10:30 AM. We agreed to meet in the Al Batha area, and everything seemed confirmed. On the day of the tour, my wife, our young son, and I arrived at the meeting point five minutes early, full of excitement for what we hoped would be a meaningful and informative introduction to Fes. Unfortunately, Rachid never showed up. At 10:31 AM, I made the first call—no answer. I tried again at 10:35 AM—still nothing. I sent a message on WhatsApp at 10:37 AM asking if the tour was still happening. No response. We waited until 10:45 AM under the heat before finally accepting that we had been let down. Not only did this ruin our day, but it also disrupted our entire itinerary. We were only in Fes for one day and had planned this guided tour as the centerpiece of our visit. Left with no other option, we attempted to explore the medina on our own. While Fes is undoubtedly beautiful, the experience was chaotic and lacked the structure and insights we were hoping for from a professional guide. I’ve attached screenshots of our communication for transparency. I understand that unexpected issues can arise, but a complete lack of communication—no notice, no explanation, and no apology—is unacceptable. I wouldn’t recommend this tour guide to anyone looking for a reliable and professional experience in Fes.

Scam! - To flee absolutely! I lost a lot of money because of this scam. I am the victim of a fake guide named Rachid Sebbar – who takes you to complicit shops where he collects commissions, while putting you under great pressure to buy. He uses mental manipulation techniques, repeating phrases like “Don’t trust anyone,” to create a climate of fear and take control of your decision. The situation went so far that I had to block him: he started following me all over the city of Fes. I no longer felt safe or respected in my privacy. I finally cancelled my stay in Fez because of this very bad experience. It is a great shame that such a beautiful city is marred by the presence of false guides like this. Tourism in Fez deserves better regulation and protection to prevent other visitors from experiencing this kind of misadventure.
