4.Guided Walking Tour of the Historic Medina

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 359 reviews · 4 hours · from $22Top rated

Walk Fez’s labyrinthine Old Medina with a live English, French, or Spanish-speaking guide. Expect Bou Inania and Al-Attarine madrasas, traditional tanneries, local food, artisan workshops, and less-touristed neighborhoods. Abdul is frequently assigned, though guides may include Abdel, Ahmed, or Reda. The advertised walk is 4 hours, but it often runs longer.

“This app doesn’t allow me to leave a long enough review to say how incredible this experience was. Abdul was incredibly kind, knowledgeable and clearly he genuinely loves what he does! After the tour I was messaging with him and saying that he should be charging at minimum twice what we paid for such a thorough and detailed tour, and his response was that he genuinely wasn’t doing it for the money but for the love of helping people discover his incredible city. Really, truly, I know how overwhelming it can be trying to compare and contrast different reviews from different tours that all look more or less the same,…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 111 reviews · 12 hours · from $187

Travel from Casablanca to Fez in an air-conditioned vehicle with Wi-Fi, then explore the Medina with a local guide such as Idrissi.

“Excellent tour of Fez, with guide Aziz. We were picked up around 06:45 and got back around 21:45, so had to cancel our dinner plans but it was still worthwhile. Duration probably varies based on the group and traffic. We were pleased that it did go on longer than expected because otherwise it would have been 8 hours in the bus and 4 in Fez, when in the end we had nearly 7 hours in Fez. The medina is immense, far more than could be covered in a day's tour, but we got a good sense of it. We also stopped at the Jewish quarter and Royal Palace for a…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 102 reviews · 210 minutes - 4 hours · from $12Best value

“Very good guide, lots of explanation and historical examples. We saw all important and interesting monuments, textile, argan oil and leather factory, the oldest Hammam, and the oldest University of the World. The walking tour in the oldest Souk in the world and the narrow streets in a labyrinth-stile was also amazing, I recommend hardly to take a guide for exploring it.”

7.A Guided Walking Tour Through the Historic Medina

★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 97 reviews · 3 hours · from $15

Walk Fes Medina with an English, Italian, or Spanish-speaking guide for three hours. You’ll see Bou Inania and Al-Attarine madrasas, Chouara Tannery, Nejjarine Museum, Bab Bou Jeloud, Moulay Idriss II Mausoleum, and Al-Qarawiyyin. Entry fees are extra, and the guide can arrange a free taxi to the meeting point if needed.

“La guida ci ha portato per le vie strette di Fez, ma si è limitata a farci vedere alcuni scorci senza particolari approfondimenti storici o culturali. Ci ha portato soprattutto in negozi tipici che, per quanto caratteristici, erano spesso mirati alla vendita degli oggetti al loro interno. I negozi sono sicuramente di qualità più alta rispetto a quelli che si trovano nel resto della Medina, ma in un tour guidato ci aspettavamo di immergerci più nella storia che non nelle attività commerciali.”
