The experience

How do you move through Fez's medina without getting turned around in the souks or missing the landmarks that matter? This private tour picks you up at your hotel at either 10am or 3pm and takes you through the city with a guide who knows which streets lead where and what you're standing in front of. The route covers the king's palace, the Jewish quarter, the Karaouine University and its attached medersa Bou Inania, the tannery where leather is still dyed in centuries-old vats, and the shopping co-ops that handle international shipping if you find something you want to take home.

You travel in an air-conditioned vehicle between the major stops, which matters in Fez's heat and means you're not walking the entire medina on foot. The guide is licensed and speaks English, Spanish or French depending on which you need. Bottled water comes with the tour, and the driver returns you to your hotel when the four to five hours are done.

Shopping happens at trusted co-ops where credit cards work and staff can arrange shipping abroad: no haggling required if that's not what you came for. The tannery is the stop most visitors remember. It's a working dye pit, not a museum, and the guide can explain what you're seeing instead of you reading a placard.
