Discover Fes with Private Local Guides
Fes is the spiritual and cultural heart of Morocco. Its UNESCO-listed medina, Fes el-Bali, is a living maze of artisan workshops, madrasas, fountains and centuries-old tanneries, and one of the largest car-free urban areas in the world. A private guide turns the labyrinth into a story.
Start with our full-day private tour of Fes, then explore further with a day trip to Chefchaouen, a day trip to Meknes or a 4-day desert tour from Fes to Merzouga. Every itinerary is private and can be tailored to your pace.

Fes Tours: Frequently Asked Questions
How many days do I need in Fes?
Two days is ideal to explore the medina, main monuments and artisan workshops without rushing. If you are short on time, our full-day private tour covers the highlights in one day.
Do I need a guide for the Fes medina?
A private guide is strongly recommended. Fes el-Bali is a car-free maze of thousands of alleys, and a local expert saves time, explains the history and helps you avoid unofficial guides and pushy sellers.
What are the best day trips from Fes?
Popular private day trips from Fes include Chefchaouen, Meknes and Ifrane. Each includes a private driver-guide and can be adjusted to your interests and timing.
How far is the Sahara Desert from Fes?
Merzouga and the Erg Chebbi dunes are roughly an 8-hour drive from Fes, so we recommend a tour of at least three to four days, such as our 4-day tour from Fes to Merzouga.
When is the best time to visit Fes?
Spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November) offer the most comfortable weather. Summers can be very hot, and winters are cool and sometimes rainy.
Can you pick us up from Fes airport, train station or riad?
Yes. We can arrange private pickup from Fes–Saïss Airport, the train station or your hotel. For riads inside the medina, we meet you at the nearest vehicle access point and give you clear directions in advance.
