Hello! My name is Mahmoud, and I am an official tour guide in Fes with a deep passion for history, culture, and architecture. I hold a Bachelor's degree in History and Civilization, and I have spent years researching the rich heritage of Morocco, especially the fascinating stories behind the old medina of Fes. I have also published several articles on topics such as Economic theories, the Meiji Ishin, and from Zaibatsu to Keiretsu.
I love sharing authentic local experiences and helping visitors discover hidden gems that many travelers miss. I've also enjoyed exploring other historic cities like Marrakech, Chefchaouen, and Granada. In my free time, I enjoy reading books that connect Morocco's history with broader civilizations, especially "The Ornament of the World: How Muslims, Jews, and Christians Created a Culture of Tolerance in Medieval Spain" by María Rosa Menocal, a work that inspires my storytelling and deepens my appreciation of Morocco's cultural and spiritual legacy.
Mahmoud was a very knowledgeable and friendly guide. He gave great information on cultural aspects and showed places in Fes we would have never found alone. He also gave us traditional sweets to try which was a plus. Can recommend the tour to anyone who would like get an authentic experience of Fes!
What an amazing tour! This is without a doubt the best way to see Fes, enriched by the knowledge and humor of our brilliant guide Mahmoud! Truly an engaging and passionate guy. Don't hesitate to book this tour! Great value.
One of the best guided tours I've ever done. Mahmoud is a person who is prepared, nice and able to involve you. More than an experience, it was a real journey in the popular culture of Fes. The visit to the artisans of the medina, the hidden corners, the small details and curiosities explained to us in every detail made this experience fantastic. Highly recommended and mandatory experience here in Fes. Thank you.
Truly a tour worth experiencing, not only for its excellent organization and explanations, but also for the rich amount of historical information. I really enjoyed my time with Mahmoud and didn't expect the tour to be this amazing. He kindly answered all our questions and even helped us plan the rest of our trip, giving great recommendations for restaurants and other places to visit. I didn't know about GuruWalk before and booked the tour at the last minute, but from now on I'll definitely keep using GuruWalk to discover the rest of the world, all thanks to Mahmoud, who did an outstanding job.
We had an AMAZING time with Mahmod today! He's such a knowledgeable person and a great storyteller, he definitely exceeded our expectations! I would recommend him without hesitation! Thank you Mahmod
