Fès is the thirth biggest city in Marocco and their medina is like a labyrinth so very easy to lose your way. For this reason I recommend to contract the service of a tourist guide but a real one. So ask in your riad where they have the numbers of the differents guides who speaks different languages.
If you feel like to walk by your own then try to follow the starts that you will see in the medina. Those starts marks differents routes that cross the medina from north to south.
