The old medina of Fes is a labyrinth of thousands of alleys, many too narrow for a donkey to turn around. You can wander it alone, but you will miss most of its secrets. This private Fes medina guided tour pairs you with an official, licensed guide who walks you through Fes el-Bali, a UNESCO World Heritage site and one of the largest car-free urban areas on Earth.
In one day you see the blue gate of Bab Bou Jeloud, the carved cedar and stucco of the Bou Inania and Al-Attarine madrasas, the doorways of Al Quaraouiyine, founded in 859, and the colorful dye pits of the Chouara tannery. Then you cross to the Mellah, the historic Jewish quarter, and the golden gates of the Royal Palace before ending at the Merinid Tombs viewpoint above the city.
Your guide adapts the pace and the stops to you, whether you are into history, crafts, food or photography. Price per person drops as your group grows, from €70 for a solo traveler to €20 each for a group of eight.
