Top Fez Day Trips

We were able to fully customized this trip throughout the day. It was our preference to go directly from Fes to Volubilus early in the day to avoid the tour buses and the heat. Our driver, Mohammad was very informative throughout the day and chose a wonderful place for lunch.

This was the best meal I had in fes, by far!! If I could do this experience every day, I would not hesitate. The food was fresh and we were able to do step by step cooking. If we wanted to adjust the flavors we could. All the instructors felt like family by the end of the class. This was an incredible highlight of my trip!!

I was pleased with my driver, Mohcine, and he did a great job of picking me up in Fez to begin journey. He was attentive to my needs on the multi-hour journey and made rest stops as needed. I enjoyed my time in Chefchaouen and it I had to do it over again I would have stayed a couple of nights in the city, then journeyed on to Tangier. It was my first trip to Morocco and I found the people welcoming. The natives are eager to show you their country and genuinely extend their hospitality to visitors.

大学生で個人旅行で友人とモロッコに来ました。最初は初めてのモロッコでフェズの道が迷路すぎてビビってたけど、ガイドのアフメドさんにお願いして本当に良かったです。僕ら日本人でも聞き取りやすい英語で、イスラム教の教え、メディナの歴史から文化、今の暮らしまで詳しく教えてくれて、めちゃくちゃいい経験になりました。何よりアフメドさんの笑顔が本当に素敵で、安心できました。重い荷物を持った子供を助けてあげたりと優しさも垣間見えました。小さいお子さんが2人いるそうです。 一番助かったのが、伝統衣装を買う時にこっそり適正価格を教えてくれて、交渉まで手伝ってくれたことです。おかげで変にぼったくられず、いい買い物ができました。紹介してくれた「Kassr Annoujoum」というレストランも宮殿みたいに綺麗で素敵でした。行きも帰りもリヤドまで迎えに来てくれてレストランを予約したら、リヤドに帰る途中に行き方まで詳しく教えてくれました。別れ際に何かあったら連絡してねとも言ってくれました。誠実で温かいアフメドさんのおかげで、フェズが大好きになりました。またモロッコに来る機会があればアフメドさんにお願いしようと思います！ As university students traveling to Morocco for the first time, we were a bit overwhelmed by the maze of Fes, but Ahmed was the best guide we could have asked for. His English was very easy to understand, and we learned so much about everything from history to modern life here. His smile is truly amazing and made us feel safe right away. He’s such a kind person—we saw him help a child with heavy bags, and he told us he’s a father of two little kids himself. You can really feel his warmth. The biggest help was when we were buying traditional clothes; he secretly told us the fair price and even helped us negotiate. Thanks to him, we got a great deal without any stress! The restaurant he recommended, "Kassr Annoujoum," was stunning, like a palace. He even escorted us there and showed us the way back so we wouldn't get lost. His parting words, "Call me if you run into any trouble," were so reassuring for us. We love Fes now because of him. If we ever come back, we are definitely looking for Ahmed again!

The class itself was great! We enjoyed the experience very much. However, our reservation said that pick up from our lodging was included but we were told that it’s not included. So at the last minute we had to figure out transportation. The taxi driver did not know the area where the cooking class was and left us at the bottom of the hill. We had to walk uphill quite a distance. Then the cooking class location had several flights of stairs.

I booked this tour with Viator and it was absolutely fantastic! The trip to the Atlas Mountains was even better than I expected. The scenery was breathtaking, the stops were well-planned, and everything ran smoothly from start to finish. Our guide was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the whole experience really fun and relaxed. I had a wonderful time and would definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Morocco. It was one of the highlights of my trip!

This Medina is another world. Kamal was a lovely gentle guide. I felt we were getting good info. He was obviously well known throughout. We did stop at a few places and obviously encouraged to shop by those places but never pressured, except at the tannery. That felt quite pressured. This was exceptional value and we had a lovely small group of 5. Would be concerned with a massive group due to some of the crowded areas. You would spend ages waiting for people.

The city of Chefchaouen is far from Fez. It takes multiple hours each way to get there, and the roads are safe but have many twists and turns. You drive through many small villages and remote areas but it is a beautiful sight. Definitely recommend a private driver as he made us feel safe and we got to spend as much time as we wanted in Chefchaouen. Recommend leaving early as it can get dark on the drive home. The blue city itself is beautiful. There's not much else to do there, but it's worth going for the pictures. There are a lot of locals trying to be guides. It is preferable to go with a guide, or you can choose to explore on your own. If you're going alone, be aware that anyone who offers to take your picture or wants to show you around will likely expect payment or ask for money. This trip DOES NOT come with a tour guide, so be prepared to find one or plan for one separately.
