Summary: I doubt you could find a better guide for Fes than Mohamed. As he will tell you, he was made in this city. He seems to know everyone and greets them with a smile as he leads you through the streets and alleyways of the Medina. He has many stories to tell and good tips if you want to buy something special. I recommend you hire him. It you do, ask him to make a Moroccan hamburger for you.

Summary: My mom and I had an incredible visit to the Medina with Mohammed yesterday. We were able to see so many places that we would not have been able to navigate on our own! Our new friend seemed to know the entire city which made us feel like we were in great hands with our limited amount of time to spend in Fes. Mohammed also was very gracious in helping my mom feel safer on steep or slick areas in the Medina which was above and beyond for us and made the experience that much better. 100% recommending for the information provided and amazing, generous hospitality. Thank you!!

Summary: Of all the places we visited on our recent vacation in Morocco, Fes was my favorite! I think it was largely because we started our stay in Fes with an all day private tour of Fes with Mohamed! He was so knowledgeable, funny and streamlined the tour to our preferences. He gave us so much information, and balanced it out with giving us time to self-explore the various sights. He helped us shop, bargaining for us, and before we knew it our 5 hour session became 8 hours, and it was like hanging out with your favorite uncle! Thank you Mohamed for a memorable day!
