Walking tour is the best way to explore the Medina of Fes
“Excellent way to visit the Medina and tannery in Fes.”
Fatima took us on our tour. She was warm natured and made us feel at ease. She has excellent knowledge of culture, religion and history. I was disappointed to be subjected to sales people. I felt obliged to buy and was uncomfortable with negotiating prices. I assumed the guide would have supported us. I paid a lot of money for spice and oil!
“Perfect day!”
Adil was a delightful guide, just perfect for us. The tour group we were with had already taken us to see all the major sights but we wanted a private tour of the souks, not just the regular run through of cheap, schlocky merchandise. Adil delivered. He took us to some lovely places where we found just what we were looking for. He even helped with the negotiating. Very personable and helpful.

“Great day in Fez!!!!”
Mohammed was a great tour guide. Picked us up at the spa after our Hammam experience and then proceeded to take us everywhere we wanted to go. We saw all the important sights and did some great shopping. He was such a kind, considerate man. Can’t wait to use him again in the future Susie Angle, Fort Worth, Texas
Explore Morocco with a private local tour guide to discover insider knowledge, personalized experiences, and hassle-free adventures in the land of sunsets.
Embarking on a journey through Morocco with a private local guide feels like unlocking a hidden treasure chest of cultural riches.

Venturing off the beaten path, a private guide can whisk you away to smaller destinations like Chefchaouen, the enchanting Blue City nestled in the Rif Mountains. Here, your guide can lead you through the azure-hued streets, offering knowledge of local culture, beliefs, dialects and traditions while ensuring you capture the perfect photograph against the backdrop of ocean blue buildings and cascading bougainvillea. Create your ultimate Moroccan tour today.
The ideal duration for a trip to Morocco depends on your interests and the places you want to visit. However, for a fully engaging experience covering major cities like Marrakech, Fes, Casablanca, and with time for exploring the desert, a minimum of 7–10 days is recommended. Wondering what to do in those 10 days? Here are some tour ideas to get you started.
Whether you need a tour depends on your preferences, time restrictions and travel style. Independent travel is possible in Morocco, however, for those seeking convenience, insight into local culture, higher safety and hassle-free travel, guided tours can be beneficial.
The most common and convenient ways to travel between cities in Morocco are by train or bus. Trains are known for their comfort and relatively punctual schedules, while buses offer a more extensive network, including routes to remote areas. Domestic flights are also an option for longer distances.
The best time to visit Morocco is during the spring (March to May) or fall (September to November) when the weather is mild and comfortable for outdoor activities. Avoid the peak summer months (June to August) due to high temperatures, especially in inland areas and the desert.
Morocco is generally considered safe for tourists, with a moderately stable political environment and a medium crime rate, making it the 84th safest country out of 163 ranked nations (Global Peace Index). However, like any destination, travelers should remain vigilant, especially in crowded areas and tourist hotspots, and follow basic safety precautions.
Many cities in Morocco are safe for tourists, but some travelers perceive places like Fes and Essaouira to be relatively safer due to their more relaxed atmospheres and less hectic pace compared to cities like Marrakech or Casablanca.
Tipping practices in Morocco vary, but it's customary to tip private tour guides around 10-15% of the total tour cost, depending on the quality of service provided. However, tipping is discretionary, and you should adjust based on your satisfaction and budget.
Marrakech is renowned for its vibrant atmosphere, historic Medinas, and cultural attractions, while Casablanca offers a more modern vibe with its cosmopolitan ambiance and coastal charm. Both cities have their unique appeal and are worth visiting, so whether Casablanca or Marrakech is better depends on what you want your trip to look like.
