Excursion privée d'une journée complète à Fès au départ de Casablanca

Fes is full of history and fantastic artisans. Be prepared to want to take everything home!!! Our driver, Mohammed was wonderful, conscious of rest stops on the long drive. Our guide, Ameena, was simply amazing. Ameena was full of insightful knowledge and local history. She was most accommodating and hospitable. I highly recommend this tour and hope that you are fortunate to have the driver and guide which we did.

Our trip to Fes, started with them arriving late. Then the passenger got out said we'd be driven to Fes and meet our guide there. He never got back in so we were a little confused but recovered quickly. Then I asked the driver Karim to stop us at a shop so we could grab breakfast. He acted as though he had no idea what I was talking about so I showed him the address and he still went clearly somewhere else(forgiveable) we didn't have access to a WiFi hotspot either which made getting directions impossible and he didn't bother to try on his phone to help me..luckily I was able to get the number to come up from a recommendation given by a previous guide in another tour and he called.. For the 3+hr ride from Casablanca to Fes he didn't speak to us and just blasted music. He found the most obnoxious english song playing station. He could've atleast asked if we were ok with the music, it's just courtesy. Instead, we were tortured with very bad music and me asking him to change it was pointless when I asked it to he changed he said no and laughed. Only time he lowered it was when he'd get on the phone. Finally reaching Fes we met up with our guide Amina, and began the tour. Suddenly we found out our driver could actually speak as he was super talkative to the guide once she got in the car(and it can't be reasoned away that he didn't speak good English, because first the tour company was suppose to send someone that would communicate, secondly I tried speaking Arabic to him and he barely said much of anything in response so that squashes that premise. Anyway beginning of the tour was enjoyable as we stopped at the ceramic shop and at overlooks of the city however the guide had already been attached to her phone even the lady at the shop looking for her saying she's always on the phone. Once entering the Medina it was such a rush at times I was trying to keep from slipping or tripping and falling on uneven ground because she was walking so fast and turning corners so frequent. This is when the feeling of being used began to settle in. There were plenty of little trinkets I would've liked to have stopped and looked at but it seemed as though she took us to shops that she wanted us to spend money at. We bought a few things that we really wanted but after awhile upon reaching yet another one of her chosen shops I became quite full after trying to figure out if shipping was possible and being told they'd figure it out after we pick stuff...um no sorry I'm not buying

The guide was very instructive but little nervous when we refused leather bags, he lost his commision
