Discover the Hidden Soul of Fes
Personalized private experiences guided by a true local insider. Step beyond tourism into the authentic heart of Morocco.
Morocco Through Local Eyes
FesInside is not just a tour company. It is a private gateway into the hidden soul of Morocco. We believe the most meaningful travel happens when you step beyond the surface, into narrow alleyways whispered about by locals, workshops where centuries-old craft traditions breathe, rooftop terraces where the call to prayer meets a golden sunset, and kitchens where recipes have been passed down through generations.
Every experience is private, personal, and guided by a true Fassi, someone who grew up in these streets and knows every hidden corner by heart.

Years Guiding
Your Insider : Youssra
More Than a Guide.
A Local Companion
I was born and raised inside the ancient Medina of Fes, and for more than eight years I’ve been welcoming travelers into the hidden soul of my city.
For me, guiding is not about reciting history or following a script. It’s about creating genuine human connections, sharing stories, opening hidden doors, and helping you experience Morocco through the eyes of someone who truly lives it.
Through deep relationships with local artisans, families, and traditional workshops, I invite you into places most visitors never discover, quiet riads, hidden rooftops, artisan studios, family kitchens, and centuries-old traditions still alive today.
Whether we explore the labyrinth of Fes, share mint tea with craftsmen, or wander through hidden alleys at sunset, my goal is simple: to make you feel less like a tourist, and more like a welcomed guest.

Voices of Our Guests
The best tour guide in fes. Youssra is an engaging and incredibly knowledgeable Fes native who seems to know everyone in the souk. deep connections offer a unique advantage, allowing you to visit skilled craftsmen at work without the pressure to buy as a “payment” for the experience. If you’re interested in purchasing something specific, let her know in advance, she will guide you to a top-quality shop and even assist with negotiations if you’d like. By the end of our tour, Yosra felt less like a guide and more like a friend.
We met the beautiful city of Fez with a guide that was just for us, we could take all the photos we wanted, we were going at our own pace and the explanations were very good.

Amazing Experience with an Incredible Guide. My experience in Fez was unforgettable, thanks to my incredible guide. She was not only knowledgeable and professional but also kind, attentive, and passionate about sharing the history and culture of this beautiful city. She made me feel comfortable and welcomed from the very beginning, going beyond just guiding, she became a true friend. Her deep knowledge of Fez, its hidden gems, and its traditions made my trip even more special. I highly recommend her to anyone visiting Morocco!

A Day Inside Fes
From Dawn to Dusk
Every day is a journey. Here is a glimpse of what a private day inside the Medina looks and feels like.
Begin your day with a private rooftop breakfast overlooking the Medina. Fresh msemen, amlou, and Moroccan mint tea as the city awakens beneath you.
Venture into narrow passages that don’t appear on any map. Visit ancient fountains, secret mosaic courtyards, and meet the families who have lived here for generations.
Step inside workshops where master craftsmen shape brass, weave silk, carve cedar, and hand-paint zellige tiles using techniques unchanged for centuries.
Savor an authentic meal at a hidden local restaurant — slow-cooked tagine, handmade couscous, and seasonal delicacies chosen by your guide that very morning.
Climb to private rooftops for breathtaking views, hear stories of the ancient city, and capture photographs from angles only insiders know.
End the day on a serene terrace with traditional sweets and tea, watching the golden light paint the Medina in warm terracotta and amber.
