Experience the best of Fes with Withlocals

"Noureddine was fabulous. My wife and I were very lucky to get him as a guide. His mastery of the English language allowed all three us to enjoy the city and each other. I have a tricky sense of humor and he was right there with me. His passion for the history and culture of Fes gave us incredible insight into the people ... their customs and traditions. He gave us everything we needed to continue to explore Fes on our own the following day. He has a unique talent to understand the interests of each individual visitor that escorts and was happy to explain things that were not officially part of the tour ... fantastic. By the time we finished, we were friends and I will hold the memory of that friendship for years to come. I HIGHLY recommend Noureddine to make your trip to Fes extra special."

"Culture, history and Medina, Noureddine adapted to our needs. Very knowledgeable. Guide is essential to enjoy hidden gems in the Medina. We had the most amazing tea at a local merchant. Highly recommend "

"I had an afternoon solo — so I took a chance and combined the Hidden Gems Tour and the Food Tour. It was a great call! Driss was very professional. He contacted me via WhatsApp before I even left on my trip to confirm with me and give me some advice about my bookings. Driss truly seemed to know everyone — he was greeted by so many people, and he greeted many himself. It could have been awkward, being by myself, but it wasn’t. He made great conversation and spoke excellent English. The food was wonderful! The fried sardines and the “meat jerky” khleer (sounds like clear) were my favorite. But goat cheese tasting and the camel meatball sandwich (whatever its name is, I don’t know) were great as well. He would see a cart or a vendor as be like “Have you tried this?” Driss was able to recommend a hammam and show me there. I would absolutely recommend Driss. I felt safe, looked after, comfortable, and like he was interested in me enjoying myself."

"We cannot say enough about how wonderful Noureddine was. He was very knowledgeable and struck just the right balance between history, culture, food and shopping (at our request). He was incredibly flexible, great with our kids, and a joy to spend a day with. We wish we could take him everywhere!"

"Driss is a very nice man and a good guide. He took us to the madrazo school, showed us the market where the beautiful dyed yarns are. Later we visited a rug maker and learned how the rugs are made. On to the tannery. After that we went to see how the Moroccan pottery and mosaics are made. One final stop at the famous blue gate. Driss is quite the photographer and we finally had some pictures together. "

"I would highly recommend a tour with Noureddine. His knowledge and command of English was excellent. We had a really enjoyable time. "

"Driss was a friendly man and a good guide. He explained a great many things and showed us a lot of interesting buildings and artisans. He was patient and gave us a lot of his time. Thank you, Idriss."

"Thank you so much to Noureddine for such an enjoyable and informative morning in the Fes Medina. He was very friendly and relaxed. We saw a lot without being rushed and really appreciated having no pressure to make purchases in the souk. Lovely to learn insights from a knowledgeable local, including a very pleasant tea stop. Highly recommended. "

"My wife and I have done many tours around the world and this was one of our favorite ones. The day we spent with Driss was purely awesome and we can't thank him enough for a fun day. His communication is excellent, always responding quickly, and he was punctual to pick us up, and his English is perfect so there was no problem understanding anything he told us. He told us all about Fes and took us to many iconic places so it was more than just a food tour. His knowledge of the city is extensive, having grown up in Fes. The food we tried was also amazing, my favorite being the bean soup and although it's not food, my wife's favorite being the mint tea we had from a little place upstairs near the center of the Medina. We tried beef jerky, nuts, fruits, breads, sweets, goat cheese at the market and also had more food at a restaurant where we had small salads, baba ghanoush (the best in the city), and meats on skewers (which were really good). Everything was very well curated and Driss was just a good guy to be around. He also knows every single person in Fes. Don't hesitate to book a tour with him. Next time we are in Fes, we will try and see hi again."

"We've just returned from a wonderful week in Morocco, and one of the real highlights was spending time in Fez with Driss as our guide. Driss is a great guide, friendly, relaxed, really knowledgeable, and flexible to find out what we wanted to do. We had booked the 3 hour food tour, but with Driss that turned into a 4 hour tour, taking in the tanneries and other things we wanted to visit. Then the next day, without any additional charge, Driss arranged to take us to a fascinating pottery village, plus some additional local food stops. He really put himself out to make our time in Fez interesting . Seeing a place with someone who knows it like the back of his hand, and loves it, is pretty special. Very many thanks Driss."
