2.Guided Walking Tour of the Historic Medina

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

Meet your guide at Bab Guisa for a four-hour walk through Fez’s Old Medina. Visit Bou Inania and Al-Attarine madrasas, traditional tanneries, food stalls, souks, and artisan workshops. Abdul often leads the walk, with Reda or Ahmed sometimes guiding. Expect local stories, plenty of walking, and a route that may run well beyond four hours.

“We had the best time exploring Fes with Abdul! He’s incredibly knowledgeable—he shared so many interesting facts about the city’s history, culture, and hidden corners. Just a really fun walk through an amazing city. One of the coolest parts was that Abdul took us to places where only locals usually go. It felt like we got a real inside look at Fes, not just the touristy spots. He clearly loves what he does, and that energy made the whole day even better. Plus, he’s super entertaining—we were laughing and learning the whole way. Honestly, we couldn’t have asked for a better guide. Thanks again, Abdul, for such a memorable day.…”

Our guide really catered things to us in the group, including extending the tour time to ensure we could visit the Mosque during a limited tour schedule due to Ramadan. They also gave us a door-to-door dropoff which was very helpful with our timeline.”
