Best guide (super attentive)
I've done two tours with two different groups with Salin. Everybody loved it. It's super attentive. Dedicate all your attention to the group. We can suggest activities or preferences that it will adapt to the tour. Also will lead us to taste typical foods during the trip through the medina. It's amazing. Besides, he's already become a friend. I recommend to all people who go to Fez.
Response from the operator: Muito obrigado pelo comentario.e um bom prazer acomoanhar a gente pela medina.ja foe Uma dia otima com vcs.

Fun, full day walking tour in Fez with a great guide! Really worth it!!
Salim our guide was very knowledgeable about the history, culture and traditions. We had a great entire day walking tour with him, though tiring at the end but was very informative and covered all the places as listed in the itinerary. We bought 3 tickets each which as mentioned was not included. We had coffee break, lunch break and occasional stops as required. Visited the tannery, pharmacy and other local shops. Our guide was very descriptive and through about detailing each site. One had to listen very carefully otherwise may miss some important info. At the end we all took a bus back to hotel, for a bus travel experience also. Seems even with a car or van, we may have to walk inside the Medina for a cultural immersion. Cars cannot be driven inside the narrow alleys of Medina. Touring with Salim into the alleys of Medina was a very good experience, you'll love it. Prepare for a long day of walk, but worth it!!
Response from the operator: Thank u so much for your valuable and precious opinion about my work.i really enjoyed being with u in the medina and around and it was such a a lovely and enjoyable company.

SALIM guides at the top
Thank you to Salim for showing us around the medina of Fez that he knows by heart. I recommend it 100%, let Salim guide you without problem. We were 4 adults and 5 children and Salim adapted to all our requests. We were not in tourist traps and it was a real pleasure.
Response from the operator: Merci pour votre valoration de Mon tour.je me sens hipermotive de faire de Mon mieux afin d'ameliorer la cantite et la qualite pour le plaisir du client

Salim, the “master” of Fez
Salim is cheap! It has its iconic personality and is part of the construction of Fez's history. You know everything about the Medinas, you know everything and everyone in there. He has a lot of attention and affection with everyone who participates in the Tour. We made a “private” with him through various points of the city, but the Medina of Fez is the Jewel. I recommend to anyone, especially Brazilians, who come to Morocco/Fez and want a quality native guide. Family hugs
Response from the operator: Muito obrigado por suas amáveis palavras e por sua revisão detalhada da sua experiência comigo. Estou muito feliz em saber que você passou um tempo maravilhoso visitando a Medina de Fez comigo e que pude lhe proporcionar uma experiência tão informativa e agradável. Agradeço sua recomendação e com certeza a transmitirei a outros viajantes! Obrigado novamente por sua avaliação!

Why this scores 70
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Fez Full Day City Tour with Local Guide: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Fez.
How much does Fez Full Day City Tour with Local Guide cost?
+
Prices start at $29 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 Fez Full Day City Tour with Local Guide 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 Fez Full Day City Tour with Local Guide worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 70 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 8 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 Fez Full Day City Tour with Local 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 Fez Full Day City Tour with Local Guide 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 Fez Full Day City Tour with Local Guide?
+
Around 3 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 Fez Full Day City Tour with Local 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 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 Fez Full Day City Tour with Local Guide?
+
Included: Tour Guide. Not included: Food and Drinks; Entrance fees to Monuments under 8 EURO; and Transportation. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Fez Full Day City Tour with Local Guide include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 98 listed pickup locations in and around Fez. Be ready about 30 minutes before the start time.
What languages is Fez Full Day City Tour with Local Guide offered in?
+
It is offered in Portuguese, English, French and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
