"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. "
"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."

Brilliant tour with excellent guide.
"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."
"Driss was a thoughtful, warm, and engaging guide to the barrow alleys and beautiful architecture of the old city. Our time together deepened our appreciation for this amazing city. And his favorite Maakouda spot was one of the highlights of our trip! "
"We booked Driss as a food tour, however, we got our timings slightly wrong, and met up late from large lunch (our mistake). Driss waited over 40 minutes for us to arrive and was very accommodating to our situation (we were not very hungry).
Driss’s excellent knowledge of the market allowed him to flex the tour to take us past the snacks, where we enjoyed some local delicacies. We asked to be shown handicrafts that expertly wove in to the tour. We fired many questions at Driss, all which he answered knowledgeably.
His love, passion & knowledge for Fes and his culture shone through the whole tour as we not only saw all the food & drink we wanted but also saw some of the historical traditions of dying, weaving as well interesting sites, such as the University and the narrowest street in Fes.
We rounded off our tour with some traditional tea in the most authentic location.
We cannot recommend Driss highly enough."
"Noureddine was the best guide we have had in Morocco. He took us to super interesting places that many tourists may miss. We loved seeing the different types of bakeries and the tea house was a treat! "
