Our Fez tour with Abdelhak was truly one of the highlights for me and my girlfriend during our Morocco trip.
Firstly, we were picked up by a driver from our hotel and taken on a scenic drive during which we were able to stop and take pictures in front of the royal palace and a vista overlooking the city.
Upon reaching the medina we met Abdelhak and he took us through the windy paths while providing historical context to many things which we saw. He did not rush us and in fact gave us a tour far exceeding our expectations. He brought us to a carpet store, tannery, herb shop, and tile shop - each of which delivered short but informative presentations about their products and manufacturing processes. Abdelhak was attentive to our needs. If he saw that we were being hounded by shop owners, he would step in. If he saw that we were browsing at lower quality items, he would inform of us of better shops. If we mentioned something we wanted to buy, he would remember and take us to that shop. He did all this while having fun, cultural exchanges with us. Up until this tour, my experience in Morocco (especially Marrakech) was less than stellar but Abdelhak’s tour really changed that and so I will give him the highest recommendation I can! Hope that’s helpful.
