Food Tours in Fes

I had an afternoon solo — so I took a chance and combined the Hidden Gems Tour and the Food Tour. It was a great call! Driss was very professional. He contacted me via WhatsApp before I even left on my trip to confirm with me and give me some advice about my bookings. Driss truly seemed to know everyone — he was greeted by so many people, and he greeted many himself. It could have been awkward, being by myself, but it wasn’t. He made great conversation and spoke excellent English. The food was wonderful! The fried sardines and the “meat jerky” khleer (sounds like clear) were my favorite. But goat cheese tasting and the camel meatball sandwich (whatever its name is, I don’t know) were great as well. He would see a cart or a vendor as be like “Have you tried this?” Driss was able to recommend a hammam and show me there. I would absolutely recommend Driss. I felt safe, looked after, comfortable, and like he was interested in me enjoying myself.

My wife and I have done many tours around the world and this was one of our favorite ones. The day we spent with Driss was purely awesome and we can't thank him enough for a fun day. His communication is excellent, always responding quickly, and he was punctual to pick us up, and his English is perfect so there was no problem understanding anything he told us. He told us all about Fes and took us to many iconic places so it was more than just a food tour. His knowledge of the city is extensive, having grown up in Fes. The food we tried was also amazing, my favorite being the bean soup and although it's not food, my wife's favorite being the mint tea we had from a little place upstairs near the center of the Medina. We tried beef jerky, nuts, fruits, breads, sweets, goat cheese at the market and also had more food at a restaurant where we had small salads, baba ghanoush (the best in the city), and meats on skewers (which were really good). Everything was very well curated and Driss was just a good guy to be around. He also knows every single person in Fes. Don't hesitate to book a tour with him. Next time we are in Fes, we will try and see hi again.

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.

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.
