## Who they are

Plan-it Morocco, which also signs as Plan-it Fez, is an experiences agency in Fez founded by two foreign women who live in the city: the Australian Michele Reeves and the Briton Gail Leonard. They launched it in February 2012, after living in Fez for eight years. Their idea is for the traveller to taste, smell and hear Morocco instead of just looking at it, and for that they work with craftspeople, producers, musicians, cooperatives and women's associations in the city and the countryside. The website does not publish the office address or the agency licence number, nor does it say whether the guides are official guides; if it matters to you, ask when booking.

## What they organise

The basis is medina tours: walks through Fez el Bali with palaces, gardens, tanneries and weavers' workshops, a visit focused on the Mellah, the old Jewish quarter, a night walk from Bab Boujloud and a two-hour sunset tour of the city walls, the Marinid tombs, the Borj Nord and the potters' quarter, the latter with a car and driver. On top of that they add a food line, with traditional cookery classes, tasting routes, bread and pastry, couscous by hand in the countryside and visits to wineries and olive-oil mills; another on crafts and architecture; homestay-style experiences with families; hammam, massage and yoga; and yoga, photography or music workshops and art residencies. Outside the city they take you to Volubilis, the Middle Atlas and the Sahara, on private trips with their own vehicle and an English-speaking guide. They also do airport transfers and car hire with a driver.

The activities are half-day or full-day, and they put together packages of three days to a week with accommodation. Most include an escort for the whole day; where they do not, as in some cookery classes, one can be added for an extra charge. You go round the medina on foot, without transport.

## Groups, ages and prices

They do not publish prices on the website: they depend on group size, whether there is transport or food, the season and the number of craftspeople involved. They work mostly privately and tailor-made. Nor do they set a minimum age or a maximum group size, and they say their activities suit beginners and advanced enthusiasts alike.

## Booking and cancellation

You book through their contact form, by email at info@plan-it-fez.com or by phone on +212 535 638 708. Their terms are clear: when booking you sign a form and pay a non-refundable 20% deposit, and the balance is due two weeks before; if you book with less than two weeks' notice, you pay everything. Cancelling more than two weeks before costs 20% and with less, 100%, always by email. If the agency cancels or changes something important, it refunds everything. The website is in English and speaks of English-language guides; in cookery classes in family homes you can count on a translator.
