Hassan was not our local guide. We had a local guide in Marrakesh, Hamid, who was very knowledgeable. He did not feel well so we chose to cut our time with him a little short. Then Moha picked us up at the hotel and took care of us from there and he was fantastic! 5 stars for our time with him. Although our Riad in Fes was amazing, next time I would choose one that is closer to the Medina center and one that serves alcohol. Finally, when we were planning the trip, I would have loved for you to suggest that we drive from Fez to Casablanca on the last day and fly to Madrid from there. There are no direct flights from Fez to Madrid so we had to leave our hotel at 4:50 am in order to catch our 7:25 am flight (which was delayed 5 hours). It connected through Casablanca. So if we would have driven to Casablanca in the morning, we could have gone to the mosque and then caught a nonstop afternoon flight to Madrid.

Absolutely gorgeous hotel but location could have been better and they had a very small restaurant that did not seem popular and did not have a bar.

Hi Lauren,

Thank you for sharing your thoughts about your recent trip to Morocco. We're delighted to hear that both Hamid and Moha meet your expectations. We're sorry Hamid wasn't feeling well, but we're thrilled Moha was able to provide 5-Star Service
Regarding your Riad in Fez, Riad Lys is nestled within the ancient medina walls, offering an authentic experience within walking distance to the old city main attractions. We understand your preference for a Riad that serves alcohol; however, it's worth noting that not all Riads in Morocco serve alcohol due to local customs & regulations. This is why Moha arranged a visit to a liquor store during your stay.
Concerning your departure from Morocco, we apologize for the inconvenience caused by the flight delay in Casablanca. Although we ensured you arrived at the airport in Fez with ample time to spare, flight delays are unfortunately beyond our control.
We appreciate you choosing Under Moroccan Sun LLC and Kimkim to curate your Moroccan adventure. We hope to welcome you back soon.

Best wishes,
Hassan
