Great Overview and Guide
Adil was a great guide. He has lived in the Medina for his entire life and knows it and the history and culture of Fes very well. He is extremely pleasant and accommodating. The itinerary was a complete overview of Fes and kept our interest throughout.

Excellent guides but inaccurate activity description
We found two prepared and helpful people, the driver Souahil and the guide Chakir. The first accompanied us to some places outside the Medina, the second showed us the beauties of El Bali. Unfortunately, the description of the experience on the Viator platform is not accurate: it was supposed to include paid admissions (which instead were at our expense as an extra) , the visit to the second Madrasa and other places outside the center. I suspect that the guide was told it was a half-day experience, not 5-6 hours as planned (even if in fact the 5 hours were practically reached). Furthermore, we understood that a tea/coffee was included. We certainly didn't spend an excessive amount (€50 for two + entrance fees and tips), but I highly recommend that Viator update the activity description and what is actually included. Thanks anyway to Souahil and Chakir, who made us get to know and appreciate Fes!
Response from the operator: Thank you

Fez rocks
We had two parts of the tour. The first was a driving tour outside of the Medina and the second part was inside the Medina and the souk. Hamza (first guide) was very knowledgeable about Islam, the history of Morocco and Fez and pretty much everything we could ask. Our afternoon guide (sorry - didn't write his name down) did a wonderful job of touring us inside the Medina and souk. We saw the first university in the world, tannery, several mosques and mausoleums, cloth dying techniques, carpet making and the like. All so interesting! Morocco is so wonderful!

Why this scores 64
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Discover Fez Full Day Guided Walking Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Fez.
How much does Discover Fez Full Day Guided Walking Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $34 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Fez usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Discover Fez Full Day Guided Walking Tour take?
+
Plan for about 5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Fez is not rushed.
Is Discover Fez Full Day Guided Walking Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 64 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 5 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Fez, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Discover Fez Full Day Guided Walking Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Discover Fez Full Day Guided Walking Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Discover Fez Full Day Guided Walking Tour?
+
Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Fez can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Fez and add a light layer if any part of the 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Discover Fez Full Day Guided Walking Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Fez within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Fez?
+
On Outty we rank every Fez experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Fes to Marrakech desert tour 3 days, Fes to Marrakech: Merzouga & Ait Ben Haddou, 3 Days 2 Nights, 2Days groupe Tour Fes To Fes Or Marrakech Via Sahara Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Fez?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Fez?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Discover Fez Full Day Guided Walking Tour?
+
Included: Professional local guide; Pick-up & Drop off (Hotel/Riad); Private transportation; and Tea and coffee. Not included: Brunch; and Entrance fees. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Discover Fez Full Day Guided Walking Tour include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 237 listed pickup locations in and around Fez. Be ready about 30 minutes before the start time.
What languages is Discover Fez Full Day Guided Walking Tour offered in?
+
It is offered in English, Italian, French and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Discover Fez Full Day Guided Walking Tour?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

+
