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 a really nice guide and had so much to tell. He was also proactive by picking the clients up from the hotel, when the original meeting point was blocked.
We can recommend IdrissVery good

Driss was a thoughtful, warm, and engaging guide to the barrow alleys and beautiful architecture of the old city. Our time together deepened our appreciation for this amazing city. And his favorite Maakouda spot was one of the highlights of our trip! Magnificent Medina Tour!

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

Driss is a brilliant, knowledgeable guy and makes sure you have a great time on his tour. Somehow, he knows the Medina like the back of his hand. You won't go wrong booking with Driss.Fantastic tour!

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.

The first half hour was exciting. After that we were mostly led from one shop to the next, where the aim was always for someone to sell us something. We were quite disappointed and felt a bit fooled.Medina Tour

Driss went well beyond what we expected. We communicated with him several days prior with our expectations of the tour. He came thru for us. 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. Highly recommend Driss for a tour you won’t be disappointed.Fantastic tme!
