“La experiencia fue excelente. El guía fue muy hospitalario, con un manejo impecable del español y una información clara y valiosa sobre la historia y la vida cotidiana de Fez. Lo más destacable fue su manera de acompañar el recorrido: con calma, sin abrumar, permitiendo disfrutar la ciudad y descubrir rincones sorprendentes, esos que uno no podría conocer sin alguien local que te abra otras puertas.
