Elhadi met us at our Rhiad and introduced himself as Jamal, presumably his first name. He gave a quick resume of our itinerary warning that we'd be using calories. We found Jamal to be respectful, well spoken in English and knowledgable, introducing us to history, areas and sites of interest which we wouldn't have discovered by ourselves. We felt very at ease with him and never rushed. We very much enjoyed and appreciated our morning with Jamal Elhadi and will recommend him.Morning in Fez with Elhadi

We had a great day with Noureddine in Fes! Noureddine asked us in the beginning of the tour what we would like to see and also what not to see and so we could focus the really integrating parts for us. 😍 Noureddine explained all the interesting things with lots of background information and local knowledge. He showed us hidden gems like the tea men no one would go and find. Best tea in our live! 😍 Noureddine spend far more time with us than booked and we are very thankful for that. An absolute recommendation when you are in Fes and looking for the best tour guide! 😊Best experience in Fes with Noureddine

We thoroughly enjoyed our tour with Noureddine. His local knowledge and passion for the city was obvious, and his English is immaculate. We had spent the day before seeing some of Fes independently and he was more than happy to tailor the tour to our interests and take us through some of the lesser visited areas. As well as the usual information about Fes that you would expect, throughout the tour Noureddine took the time to point out small details of interest providing local insights into the city, whether it was unique architectural details, cultural observations, or tips for navigating the medina. Many guides could provide you with an introductory tour, but these were the details that you can only get from someone that really knows and has a passion for the city. An excellent introduction to Fes

Driss was simply perfect! As a native to the Medina he took us through a variety of alleys and markets that would have been difficult to find otherwise. He spoke English very well which made it easy for us to communicate with him. We also appreciated him being pro-active with his communication with us and being flexible. Highly recommended.

He took us to local spots (hidden gems) where we tried the absolutely best tea in Morocco and had great suggestions for local treats. We learned so much about Fez, its people, and its culture. Once the tour finished, he gave us great suggestions on what other parts of town to visit. I highly recommend Elhadi for a tour of Fez. Amazing tour of Fez with Elhadi

Going on a tour with Hamid was very interesting and informative. He mentioned both the history, culture, architecture and the daily life. His english is very good and he was very engaged when talking about Fez. Two hours was a really nice amount of time to get a feeling of the city but also then have time to explore yourself. I based my decision of this tour on the other reviews and they are accurate too! However the price is the same if you are 2 or 4people so for me and my mom it got a little more expensive than what we initally thought. But it was alright :) Enjoy your stay in Fes!Fez tour

He provided very good insights about the Islam culture and how it shaped the Moroccan culture. His English is very good and he was very welcoming just like any other Moroccan.Walking tour with Hamid in Fes medina

We did a long tour with Noureddine around the Medina in Fez. All in all an excellent day. Total of over 4 hours walking round looking at the sights, bookmarking many that we visited later in the week. A very good start of our full week inFez, as we got the direction, and were able to plan the rest of our stay. All communication with Noureddine, before during and after the tour was super. Thanks Noureddine for a great day in Fez!Excellent tour of Fez

Jamal met us just in time at the hotel entrance. Due to the fact that he has grownup at the Medina and is still living there he knows each single small path in the Medina (and there are hundreds) he speaks perfect English and is a very sympathetic person. We can very much recommend him.A wonderful day at the Medina in Fes

Despite some initial confusion about the time of the tour, Elhadi managed to solve the inconvenience in a professional way. Thank you for that. The tour itself was very interesting with a lot of good history explained. This tour especifically is, unlike any other, quite interesting. The role of the guide tour is to "kickstart" your visits to the different places by giving an introduction to the the place to later give you free time to explore on your own. The guide will wait for you to be done to head to the next place. It was an interesting experience that for us resulted quite comfortable. Elhadi was also very helpful with our own individual questions, queries and wishes and gave good advice and recommendations.Recommended

We've just returned from a wonderful week in Morocco, and one of the real highlights was spending time in Fez with Driss as our guide. Driss is a great guide, friendly, relaxed, really knowledgeable, and flexible to find out what we wanted to do. We had booked the 3 hour food tour, but with Driss that turned into a 4 hour tour, taking in the tanneries and other things we wanted to visit. Then the next day, without any additional charge, Driss arranged to take us to a fascinating pottery village, plus some additional local food stops. He really put himself out to make our time in Fez interesting . Seeing a place with someone who knows it like the back of his hand, and loves it, is pretty special. Very many thanks Driss.Great Fez food tour (and more) with Driss

Idriss was very friendly and welcoming. He provided us with lots of information about the city of Fes. Along your way you will walk through the Medina and several other locations around town. On the way you experience pottery and tile work, rug weaving, a leather tannery, lots of small craft shops, and delicious local food. The food was great, we got to taste lots of traditional salads, pastillas, tagines, and honey cakes. Idriss is very kind and helpful, and you can adjust the tour to your liking. The experience was amazing, and family friendly. He knows his way around the Medina and takes you through lots of beautiful little streets where, without a guide, you would get lost in a minute. If you want to, Idriss can take you to mini tours through traditional artisans shops where they show you their craft. Please note that these might come with a no-pressure sales speech. It is very easy to say "no" and move on with your tour. These artisans are masters of their craft and have very interesting tours. We learned a lot and had a great time with Idriss! Amazing and friendly experience

We had a wonderful walking tour of the old Medina of Fez with Hamid, our knowledgeable and friendly guide. He old us enthusiastically about history, culture and life in this part of Fez which was fascinating (and in fluent English). Think the Medina of Fez is one of the most interesting visits of our Morocco trip. We visited historical highlights including the tannery, old mosques and tombs. The place is like a maze, without him we would have been lost.! There was no pushing of visiting shops which we appreciated. Would surely recommend him and this tour.Great walking tour of old Fez with Hamid

Enjoyed the food tour with Idriss. Good variety of foods sampled, paced nicely so as not to feel too full. Showed us several additional points of interest, including the tannery, an ancient university, and a hamman. Guide was knowledgeable and could answer any questions posed. In retrospect a 2-3 minute overview of the history of the Medina at the beginning of the tour would have helped contextualise the afternoon, and a bit more info on the origins of each dish might have enhanced the experience even more. Overall it was a great way to spend an afternoon and I can recommend to folks looking to orient yourself in the Medina and sample a variety of tasty foods while you're at it.Thanks for a great tour!

We booked Driss as a food tour, however, we got our timings slightly wrong, and met up late from large lunch (our mistake). Driss waited over 40 minutes for us to arrive and was very accommodating to our situation (we were not very hungry). Driss’s excellent knowledge of the market allowed him to flex the tour to take us past the snacks, where we enjoyed some local delicacies. We asked to be shown handicrafts that expertly wove in to the tour. We fired many questions at Driss, all which he answered knowledgeably. His love, passion & knowledge for Fes and his culture shone through the whole tour as we not only saw all the food & drink we wanted but also saw some of the historical traditions of dying, weaving as well interesting sites, such as the University and the narrowest street in Fes. We rounded off our tour with some traditional tea in the most authentic location. We cannot recommend Driss highly enough.Incredible & unforgettable experience.

Driss was a wonderful host of his amazing city. He was patient, kind, and informative, pointing out many interesting sights and features that we would have never noticed otherwise (such as a community bakery for people to make their daily bread). If there is anything in particular you want to see, Driss will make sure you see it. And he is very funny and well-known in the Medina so you really feel like you are walking around with a local friend. At the end of the tour, Driss refused to leave us until he had gotten us in a cab and ensured the fare even though he had another tour starting soon afterwards. Highly recommended tour guide for your visit to Fes.

I enjoyed my time with Hamid! His knowledge of his history and his story telling was excellent! Unfortunately this food tour did not live up to the standards of the usual food tours I partake in! This was not Hamid’s fault as Fes was already shutting down (I did the 5-8pm slot) Maybe I should’ve been declined that slot as it really impeded upon my experience. I can vouch for the other 4 food tours that I did in Morocco ( Casablanca and Marrakech) that those cities were very much alive in the early evening for the food tours.Hamid…an excellent story teller!

He was also valuable sharing safety and security concerns with potential fraudsters on the train from Marrakech to Fes, we encountered one but was prepared thanks to Driss. We could tell Driss was well respected as we met his friends and colleagues. He is very knowledgeable of Fes and its history and all the Souks, vegetable and wet markets.

On our first day in Fez we started with a guided tour through the Medina with Driss. He really is Driss gps, it seems like everyone knows him and he is greeted everywhere. He showed us around the highlights and gave us a good first impression of the old Medina. He dropped us off at a weavery, tannery, university, hammam, shops and restaurants. We did ask for non touristy recommendations and felt he came a bit short on that front. Doing the tour with Driss gave us the confidence to wander around and explore on ourselves afterwards.

Our trek through the Medina behind Driss showed us some neat corners of the medina. We especially loved the tiny hallway streets and the tidbits of history. Rcif Souk especially stood out--it was incredible to move through and past food, dyers, people, energy. The rest of the experience was very focused on commerce. At each of the locations we visited we were met by a very knowledgable buisnessman who told us about the artisans techniques and encouraged us to make purchases. There were definitely some lovely things, but we were not interested in big purchases. Our last stop was for a cup of tea in the square, where

We had a wonderful tour with Noureddine yesterday. We couldn't have asked for a better guide: first of all he has been very kind to come and pick us up very close to our accomodation (it is very easy to get lost in those narrow streets;) ) We walked through the most hidden streets, so that he was able to explain us something about the structure of the houses, the 5 essential elements of a medina etc. out of the loudness of the busy streets. We seized this opportunity indeed also to ask about a lot of our curiosities about life here etc. Then we crossed the street that divides the former tunisian quartier to the spanish one and we entered in the different souks: the fruits and vegetable market, the leather and dying souk, the copper one.. he was so nice to lead us in one of the madrasa explaining everything in a detailed way. Then we also visited a former "founduk" and a carpet and silk, cotton and wool workshop (amazing). We had then the best mint tea we have ever tried in this tiny place that for sure we wouldnt have found without him, it is very hidden and on the top of a building. The guy there was so fun and kind to let us smell all the herbs he picks up to make then the tea. Towards the end our guide pointed us the tannery we were interested in and then led us into the street food area where we had delicious meat, sardines and kind of potato meatballs. Overall, Noureddine spent with us way more time then expected and really fulfilled our expactations 100%! (Btw, we are tour guides ourselves so we completely understand every little side of the job). Completely recommended!We couldn't have asked for a better guide!

We feel so fortunate to have met Driss - there were four of us in our party, and we are grateful we had the good fortune to meet a new friend and receive a masterclass in Fes history, culture and architecture from Driss. There is no way our experience would have been as rich had we not had Driss as our guide. He is clearly well known and highly respected in the Medina! We were able to personalize our experience and had a day of making lifetime memories. The support and service Driss provided started before we even arrived in Fes, ensuring we had good advice for the journey and even picking us up at our hotel outside of the medina. We shopped, we ate, we learned - Driss even taught us a few important Arabic words (we are English speakers). We hope our paths will cross again Inshallah.
