Your Own Morocco. Fes: A City Beyond The Imagination

Fes Private Tour - Fez's Medina is enormous. It has thousands of streets that are so narrow that it can be hard for pedestrians to pass by one another. These streets can leave you wandering in circles for hours, (much to the delight of locals); sometimes leading you to a dead-end, then throwing you out to the opposite end of the Medina, or even leading you to visit someone's home.

Fes Private Tour - Once you step out of the gloom of endless crossings and onto a sunlit square, with a mosaic fountain and a caravan guest house decorated in lace carvings, the beauty will be simply breathtaking! You might suddenly find yourself in a workshop, where precious fabrics with gold and silver threads are still being woven. Or perhaps you might stumble upon the magnificent doors of the world's oldest university.

Fes Private Tour - Fes is just about the only city in the world that has preserved its medieval architecture, traditions and way of life. And it's not a tourist attraction. Here a hundred and fifty thousand people live very happily, engaged in crafts and trade, spiritual pursuits and the upbringing of children.

Fes Private Tour - Fes is a city of ancient history, where Arab, African and European civilisations have crossed paths for centuries. Fes is a city of Moroccan intellectuals and aristocracy, a centre of Islamic spiritual life and Sufism but also crafts, which can be comparable to fine arts. If you haven't seen Fes, then you essentially haven't been to Morocco.

Fes Private Tour - There is no shortage of such surprises around Fes. It will take you back to childhood when there were fun discoveries and adventures waiting around every corner.

Fes Private Tour - We will also visit the non-touristy places and get to know the people of this extraordinary city. How they celebrate holidays and raise their children, what they dream about and what they sing about. We will also visit the workshops where they make remarkable musical instruments and fabric from the fibres of Agave trees. We will even try our hand at making perfumes, mosaics and secret boxes.

Fes Private Tour - It is worth remembering that Fes, unlike many "authentic" places, is not a tourist attraction, but a real, living, breathing city, which has largely retained many traits of its medieval way of life. You won't see princesses riding unicorns along broken streets, and although the alleys and dyers are very scenic, they don't always smell of roses.

About Tour Guide Kate A.

My tours were born from my passion for traveling and studying other cultures, from my avid late-night reading, and from meeting amazing, bright, and talented people from around the world. And, of course, it sprouted from my love for storytelling :). Now, there are 10 of us - guides in Morocco, the Netherlands, Belgium, Serbia and Hungary. We are historians, designers, physicists, journalists, sociologists, and art historians. I am thrilled to share my knowledge and show you these fabulous and hidden places from a tourist's perspective. My team would be delighted to accompany you on this adventure full of unexpected discoveries as we travel through the centuries and immerse ourselves in the local culture!

“Great time in Casablanca”

My morning tour of Casablanca was just wonderful. Although there were some unexpected and unforeseen circumstances from my side, my guide, Houssaine, made every thing work. He's a really knowledgeable, friendly and flexible person, with a sly sense of humor. This made for a really enjoyable and easy-going introduction to Casablanca.
