    I had an incredible experience with tour guide Adil in Fes. His kindness, gentleness, and exceptional helpfulness truly stood out. Adil went above and beyond to ensure that our time in Fes was not only educational but also felt like a warm family experience. With his extensive knowledge and expertise, we were able to explore and discover far more of Fes than we had ever anticipated during our brief visit. Alhamdulilah, I am immensely grateful for the memorable journey he provided.

    It was an amazing experience from start to finish. We never would have seen and experienced Fes in the same way without this tour. Our guide, Adil, was exceptional. A young man who has lived in Fes all his life and really went out of his way to tell us all about his beloved city. We saw things we would never have seen and learnt things that we couldn't have gotten from books or just going around by ourselves. He was patient with us whenever we wanted to stop and look around or take extra time and never clock watched. We booked a half day tour and he was with us for longer. He went above and beyond to make us have an enjoyable experience including haggling with the locals for us amd getting us really good prices for a few things we wished to buy. We felt that we had known Adil for years after just a few hours with him and are really grateful for our time with him. If you want an authentic, informative tour of Fes that is unforgettable, book Adil as you won't regret it!

    Adil é stato meraviglioso. Era molto simpatico e parlava bene italiano. Ci ha mostrato e portato in tutti i posti più importanti della Medina, lasciandoci il tempo per entrare e vedere. Alla fine ci ha chiesto se volevamo vedere altro e poi ci ha accompagnato nel posto che preferivamo per pranzare. Ha fatto da tramite in ogni posto e ci ha trovato sempre persone che parlassero italiano per spiegarci le cose principali di ogni posto. Consigliamo questo tour all'inizio, per essere poi pronti a perdersi nella Medina dopo i suoi consigli. Grazie Adil!

    This guide is super amazing. Knows every corner of Fez.. what a super experience we had ! Thank you Adil

    Wonderful tour! Adil is very knowledgeable, speaks multiple languages very well, and was very attentive. Provided a lot of history during the tour. He made sure we didn’t miss anything in the short amount of time we had in Fez. Plus, I have no doubt we would have been completely lost without him!

    I was taken to several different stores while the guide waited at the door as the sales people made relentless sales pitches. It was an uncomfortable experience, especially since it was a private tour.

    Guida gentilissima ed estremamente disponibile. Giornata stupenda! Ha assecondato ogni nostra esigenza e risposto ad ogni domanda con piacere.

    Okay so Adil and Mohammed are the best people EVER. So accommodating and genuinely kind, you want them to be your tour guides. Adil took us everywhere we wanted and even helped us get our shopping done. He’s not there to sell anything or to get anything in return. I’m not one to normally leave reviews but my friends and I had such a GREAT experience we all felt like we HAD to. Thank you Adil and Mohammed!! Will recommend this guide and this tour to everyone.

    Adil is a kind and knowledgeable guide and I felt truly grateful to have him guide me through the Medina. We hit most of the touristic spots but also visited some places where the locals hang out. It was a pleasure to spend the morning with Adil and learn from him. Highly recommend!

    Excelente tour para conocer la medina. La contratamos para el mismo día de nuestra llegada, lo que nos permitió conocerla muy bien y poder disfrutar el resto de días por nuestra cuenta.
