Fez medina and it's secrets : cultural tour (private)

Majid took us around the medina on a Friday, when it was quieter and we were able to enjoy the visit and his very well-nourished explanations of his experience. Thanks to him we were able to appreciate the charms and the thousand paths of the medina. In addition it does not take you as some do to merchants and especially no one forces us to buy anything. Guide and visit to advise.

We were so lucky to be guided on our Morocco adventures over 10 days by Said . Throughout the trip Said shared his wealth of knowledge on all aspects of local daily life and ancient and current traditions in each location. Said went above and beyond to accommodate various needs of the group if needed. I rate Said as a guide 100/10 :-) Thankyou!

Said was a great guide with perfect English and so much knowledge about the Medina. He answered all our questions and gave us lots of tips and recommendations. During the tour he made sure we are safe and comfortable. He also made us aware of places and points in the medina to find our way and not get lost when we are on our own later. We visited two shops where they showed us the leather tannery and the weaving work. They expect a small tip but are not pushy and we always felt comfortable. If you don’t want to buy something it’s ok and the people at friendly and welcoming. Said kept us away from pushy salespeople and told us when to tip and how much. This tour was a perfect start for our holiday in Marocco and we would highly recommend it.

Booking a tour with Said is the best decision that my group and I ever did in our trip to Fes. He was thorough and genuine. He knew where to go and what scams/ers to avoid. We had some specific things that we wanted to do and he was more than willing to accommodate our requests. For an authentic experience, get him as your guide. You won't regret it.

Better late than never...but I really wanted to leave a review, as Said was the best guide I could've asked for! Picked me up from my hostel (Dar el Yasmine, which I also highly recommend). He is a very gentle person and he also has great knowledge of the city and all its good places. Had a great conversation throughout the tour! Thank you Said :)

I would highly recommend this tour! I can’t speak highly enough about Said, he was the perfect informative, respectful and kind guide around what is a confusing and busy Medina and made us feel 100% safe the whole time. Said seemed to have friends around every corner and was more than happy to discuss any topics we were interested in, took us to shops selling items that we wanted to see and went above and beyond to make our morning special. Said’s knowledge was incredible and more importantly his willingness to share information of the culture and religion in Morocco was something that we would not have been able to understand without him. If you are interested in gaining a good understanding of Fes, are wanting to try traditional herb tea, visit the tannery, watch fabric being crafted in the loom and want to have an unforgettable day in Morocco then you should book this tour!

Said is a great guide. He spoke excellent English, good communication style, and arrived early for our hotel pick up on the day of our tour. I felt we really checked off everything we needed to see in Fes, in just the 3 hours we spent together. He was very patient and accommodating. We asked a lot of question, and he gladly answered all of them. We went to some shops to understand local products but there was no pressure to buy anything. He gave us plenty of time to see each spot, and happily skip any if we’ve already seen it. Oh did I mention he is a great photographer? I highly recommend him.

Said was the BEST tour guide ever!!! I wish he was available to take us on our tour in Fes since he’s from there, but he was available to give us a tour in Rabat, Essauira and Marrakech. He knew a lot about each city and about the places we saw along the way. He was kind, professional and helpful. He was one of the most informative tour guides I had ever used. He spoke English fluently and helped our group to navigate in the local cultures. I will definitely use Said again!! He showed us a trip of a lifetime!

We had a fantastic experience with Siad on this tour of the Medina. He is very knowledgeable and gave us a great insight into Fez. We learned so much about the Medina and way of life there. He brought us to see the tannery and many other local craftspeople at work which was great to see. As the Medina in Fez is so big it could be easy to get lost and miss out on certain parts. After the tour we had a better sense of where to go. We highly recommend to take a tour with Siad as he is definitely one of the best guides I have met along my travels !

Said was great! He has a passion for his city and he is very knowledgeable. The tour is totally customizable and he will show you all the great spots and hidden gems we never would’ve seen without his expertise. Highly recommend this private tour.
