Fes Medina
Mouanis was an amazing Guide. Being born and raised in the Fes Medina, I think it would be hard to find a better Guide. He took us to the most important shops and attractions in the Medina. It was good when we were buying something that he helped negotiate. He explained the history and Moroccan culture. He was easy-going and fun to be around. Definitely the way to go when visiting the Medina. Was worth the cost.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much, i really enjoyed the tour with you guys and i hope that i see you again. Thanks again

Great experience!
Best guide in town! Mouanis was born and raised in the Fes medina, who better than him to show you around?! He took us to visit some of the most unique shops and attractions of the old medina, which, honesty, without him we would never have found! He explained us the history of the place and gave us some great insights on Moroccan culture and medina lifestyle! A great fun guy to be with who definitely makes it worth your money and time!
Response from the operator: Thank you very much and i hope that you come back next time

Excellent tour through Fez medina
We would highly recommend using Mouanis as a guide in Fez. He took us on a full day walking tour of the medina and a car tour of the city. We were a large group with both elderly people and young kids, and he was very patient with us.
Response from the operator: Thanks so much for the review and i hope that you came back to my beautiful city

An excellent tour guide
We are a family of five, including a young child and a teenager, and we took a walking tour of the Fes Old Town with Mohammed. It was an excellent experience. Mohammed is incredibly knowledgeable about the city and its history. He explained everything clearly, answered all of our questions, and shared fascinating historical insights throughout the tour. He was also very accommodating to our requests, and the pace of the walk was comfortable, so we never felt rushed or tired. He speaks English fluently, as well as Arabic and French, and he may speak other languages too. On a personal level, Mohammed is friendly, approachable, and easy to talk to, which made the tour even more enjoyable. I highly recommend Mohammed to anyone interested in visiting the Fes Old Town and learning about its rich history.
Response from the operator: Thanks so much, I'm really grateful. Hope you come back soon

Why this scores 83
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Discover Fez with a native GUIDE: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Fez.
How much does Discover Fez with a native GUIDE cost?
+
Prices start at $14 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 with a native GUIDE take?
+
Plan for about 2 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 with a native GUIDE worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 83 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 69 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 with a native GUIDE?
+
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 with a native GUIDE suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Discover Fez with a native GUIDE?
+
Around 24 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 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Discover Fez with a native GUIDE 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 Day Trip to Chefchaouen from Fez ( instagram /Photos ), Fes to Marrakech: Merzouga & Ait Ben Haddou, 3 Days 2 Nights, 2 Days Desert Tour from Fes to Fes/Marrakech via Erg Chebbi. 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.
