    The guided tour was very interesting. The guide grew up in Medina and lived there for many years. He knew the old town like the back of his hand and could tell us something about every nook and cranny.

    As a traveler I felt very safe walking through the narrow streets. The guide is very knowledgeable about the historical elements of the medina and its residents.
