Fez is a millennial city (over 1000 years old!) that was found by Idriss the First in 789 AD. It is unlike any other city because it represents the spiritual and cultural center of Morocco, and one of the capital cities of the Islamic civilization. Morocco’s cultural and historical capital, Fez, is a city of treasures both obvious and hidden. The city boasts elaborate architecture in its many mosques and madrassahs. This ancient medina offers each visitor an enticing labyrinth in which to wander and see Moroccan life as it has been carried on in Fez for centuries.

Had an absolutely cracking day exploring the ancient Medina of Fez! From the winding streets to the stunning historical spots, every moment was a treat. The service was top-notch, and our driver, M. Berrada, was a gem. Proper friendly, knowledgeable, and made us feel right at home. The balance between walking and driving was spot on – gave us the chance to see so much without feeling rushed. If you’re looking for a solid tour that’s well-organised and full of charm, this one’s the business. Cheers to M. Berrada for making it unforgettable

Mohammed met us at our riad and expertly guided us through the myriad streets of the Medina. As this was a private tour Mohamad was flexible with the time spent in the different parts of the tour. The tour is fast paced and covers a lot of ground and is a good introduction to Fez. The tour provides some lovely view points of the city but also really gives you an introduction of the history and the craftsman ship of the Morrocan people. Thank you Mohamad for a lovely day.

De passage à Fès pour une Journée, nous avons choisi cette formule et ne l'avons pas regretté. D'une durée de 7h, nous avons pu avoir un très bon aperçu de la ville impériale et de sa célèbre médina. Notre très sympathique guide, Mohamed a su répondre à toutes nos questions et a rendu cette journée intense très agréable. Points clés de la visite: Medersa Bou Inania, mausolée Moulay Idriss, déambulation à travers les souks et le dédale de rues de la médina, Bab Moujloud, le quartier juif et son cimetière sans oublier la tannerie et la fabrique de céramique à la main, tout était parfait.
