Real experiences from real travelers
Our guide, Mohamed, was incredible. He knew every shortcut and historical detail. We would have been lost in minutes without him. The tanneries were a highlight!
The best way to see Fes. Booking through the platform was so easy and the guide was waiting for us at our Riad right on time. Highly recommend the private option.
A lot of walking, so wear good shoes! The architecture of the madrasas is breathtaking. Our guide was very patient with our many questions and photos.
You cannot visit Fes without a guide. This tour took us to places we never would have found. The lunch recommendation was also fantastic and authentic.
The colors and smells of the spice market are something I will never forget. Our guide was professional and made us feel very safe throughout the day.
For the price, the level of insight we got was amazing. The guide even helped us navigate the souks for some high-quality leather without the hassle.
We learned so much about the Islamic history of the city. The visit to the Jewish Quarter was also very enlightening. A very well-rounded tour.
Our guide spoke great English and was very helpful. The instant confirmation on the website made planning our short trip to Fes much easier.
Everything you need to know for your journey
Yes, it is highly recommended. The Medina has over 9,000 narrow streets with no GPS signal, making it very easy to get lost. A guide also provides historical context and helps manage unwanted attention.
Most tours range from 4 to 6 hours. Half-day tours usually focus on the main landmarks, while full-day tours include the Jewish Quarter and surrounding hills.
Modest clothing is respectful. Both men and women should cover shoulders and knees. Comfortable, closed-toe walking shoes are essential due to uneven cobblestones and animal traffic.
Absolutely. The Chouara Tannery is one of the most iconic sights in Morocco. While the smell is strong (guides often provide mint), the traditional process is fascinating to watch.
Yes, the Medina is generally safe, but having a guide provides an extra layer of comfort and prevents you from getting lost in less-frequented areas.
While tours often stop at artisan workshops (carpets, leather, pottery), there is no obligation to buy. Professional guides from our partners will respect your choice.
Morning starts (around 9:00 AM) are best. It allows you to beat the midday heat and see the markets as they are coming to life.
Yes, though be prepared for a lot of walking and stairs. Strollers are not recommended due to the narrow streets and steps; a baby carrier is a better option.
Most private tours offered by our partners are flexible. You can discuss your interests (history, food, photography) with the guide at the start.
Tipping is a common practice in Morocco. If you enjoyed your tour, a tip of 10-15% is greatly appreciated by local guides.
Unfortunately, no. The Medina is filled with steps, narrow passages, and uneven slopes, making it extremely difficult for wheelchairs or those with limited mobility.
Most tours offer pickup from your Riad or hotel if it is located near the Medina. Otherwise, popular meeting points include Bab Boujloud (the Blue Gate).
