Medina of Fes in one day - Zouhire is a very friendly and explanatory guide. He had quickly and insightfully introduced us to the most important things in Fez. Now I know a lot more about the oldest medina in Morocco. Worth 3.5 hours with Zouhire. Thank you🤝

Half-day tour of Fez Medina withe family - We visited Fez for the first time and visited the Medina and the around the walls with Zouhire as our guide. He drove us around the alleys and provided useful insights - also he was fluent in italian, which was a big plus as not everyone in our family speaks english - I’d do it again and I can’t recommend the trip and Zouhire enough!
