El tour con Zakaria fue mas que un 10. Había mirado otros tour y elegimos este porque va por lugares que otros no van a pesar de que luego pasas por todos los puntos que hay para ver en Fez. Luego de este tour en el cual no solo nos hablo de cultura e historia, sino que de puntos importantes de la ciudad, pasamos por Riads de lujo y hasta nos dió recomendaciones de restaurantes. Sin duda que a cualquier persona que visite Fez le recomiendo el tour con Zakaria, muy alegre dinámico y con mucha historia. También ofrece entrar a algunos lugares de pago y alli también te da información al respecto. Terminamos en una tienda de perfumería y herboristería increíble. Si estas dudando que tour elegir ya sabes cual seleccionar. Sin duda gracias a Zakaria Fez es mi ciudad favorita de Marruecos

Zakariah was a very informative and friendly guide. He took us through a good route into the Medina. He took his time with us and provided a lot of informative information on Fes. In addition, he has experience of a variety of Moroccan areas to recommended various things to do across Morocco.
The places we visited we were not pressed to make purchases which made the experience much more pleasant.
Would highly recommend and found it a very informative and enjoyable experience.
Thanks Zac for the tour, we both had a great time.

Zakaria is great! He’s the guide you want! Lots of information, measured pace, interesting sites, wonderful sense of humour. Although the tour was slated for 3 hours, “Zack” extended the tour for an extra hour to accommodate group interest in our final stop: a fascinating journey into the world of Moroccan tea, perfumes, herbs, and oils. He also has voluminous knowledge of other cities and places throughout Morocco. Widely travelled, highly knowledgeable, and a genuine pleasure to spend an afternoon or morning with.

Zakaria was on time and ensured that everyone in the group felt welcome. He spent time explaining not only the significance of the town but also each attraction we saw on the tour. The best part were the stops through the artisan markets of Fez and I liked that for this part Zakaria took a step back and let the artisans describe their craft. Zakaria also took the time to make local recommendations and point us in the direction of places we wanted to visit while in Fez. He stayed in contact after and helped with recommendations throughout our time in Morocco.
Also, he had a great sense of humor and knows how to make people from all backgrounds feel welcome and find common ground.
