We couldn't recommend this Guide more!!! Zakarias was very clear and knowledgeable and the tour was very dynamic and always interesting, with historical details but also many insights about religion, culture, and everyday life in the city. He is also really friendly and takes time to connect with the group members while walking from one place to another, and gives suggestions for the next days.

Very kind and enthusiastic gide! He had many interesting stories, and not just ones he scripted for the tour but dynamic ones. He was able to answer questions and had a very large range of topics he was able to cover. His English was also very good and clear, and the group size was small. We also appreciated the snacks he got for us on the way <3

Zak was patient, polite and funny. I lost my way joining the tour group and he guided me to the starting point patiently. He is also very entertaining in the way he presents information. We visited many of the highlights of the Medina, and passed by the rest (I visited some of these myself after). The last few stops were artisan workshops, all high quality. No pressure to buy which was nice. A great 3 hour introductory tour of the Medina!
