Overview
We are an American run and operated business located in Fez. This standard must-experience tour will show you all the highlights of this ancient, walled city with its massive gates, labyrinthine alleyways, vibrant souks, and renowned landmarks. But what sets this tour apart is the detailed explanations of how real life, still buzzing within these walls, connects to and portrays a shadow of the medieval past. It is a beautiful experience well worth a few hours of your life to stop and travel back in time.
