I am Samir Mhella as a tour guide after having experiences in tourism 20 years ago. I know I'm not just selling the sights and sounds of a place, you're selling the entire package. That includes extensive knowledge about the area that most simply don't have. Naturally, I expected to retain a large amount of information and be able to recall it with absolute ease. Ultimately, you should be able to know your script so well that it flows naturally, like one friend telling a story to another, rather than someone working on a script. That's the kind of talent that only comes with a fantastic memory.

Tour description

Agustín said: “The world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page.” This quote suggests that each of us should travel and see the outside world, not just our own.

As a result, we will discover this book from 1200 years ago in history. My name is Samir Michelle and I am a professional tour guide licensed by the Ministry of Tourism, I have the best management of travel plans. But now let's start with an overview. During this tour, we wanted to discover together famous historical places in Fez such as:
