Lahcen was a very friendly and helpful guide and great cook. The trips to the market to purchase ingredients for the cooking classes and most especially the creation and cooking in a 'Tangier' was a special part of our tour. The camaraderie of the ladies in the kitchen of the Riad who enthusiastically demonstrated some techniques to us was much appreciated. Lahcen was a very gracious tour guide and we enjoyed our outings with him and those he arranged for us with a speciality guide.

We liked the generosity, commitment and enthusiasm of our host Lahcen. The quality of the food and the depth of his knowledge. The humour and good feeling generated by him and his staff. The attention to detail and his concern for our well being, His choice of guide for us around the Medina, his diligence in ensuring that we had a quality time.

Fes itself was funky and different and we enjoyed being shown the historic and the more modern areas. The tannery was fascinating, the Berber rugs were beautiful - even though we didn't buy one we were very pleased to be shown them at the women's co-operative and to learn about how they are made - fascinating - all those knots! he ceramics manufacture was really interesting, I felt honoured to be able to see all their careful work in action.

Overall it was a fabulous holiday and it was a real wrench to leave. I recommend Fes Cooking wholeheartedly. Thank you Lahcen!!!
