We really enjoyed this tour. Our tour guide (Driss) was very informative, and brought us to all the main attractions. You need to have a tour in Fes to fully experience and immerse yourself in this city. We are so happy we got this tour. Thank you!

Our tour started off quite well - with great information about the history and culture of the Fez medina. We were able to visit all of the sites that we wanted to see. However, our guide seemed to become less engaged and more frustrated as the day wore on. This frustration appeared to come from our lack of purchases at the many shops we visited throughout our tour.
