3.Fez Medina Guided Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 2,079 reviews · 210 minutes - 6 hours · from $9Best value

“We had a fantastic half‑day walking tour. We thought it would be just a quick trip but it was the whole old part. Kamal was an excellent guide, full of stories that brought the city and its history to life with a touch of humor. We discovered places we would never have found on our own since the medina felt like a maze, we finished the tour feeling like we understood its story much better. Because we had to leave early we were walked until we were in a street that we could easily go on our own. Highly recommended, especially if you enjoy guides who are rich in stories…”

My daughter liked the fabric shop. I enjoyed the tannery even though it was very smelly! (They provided mint to mask the smell.) Seeing how the rugs were made was very interesting. It was so nice having someone guide us through all of the alleyways and streets. I can’t recommend this tour enough! Fabulous!”
