How do I see the Fes tanneries without being scammed?
The tanneries are seen from leather shops' terraces. Walk in yourself (the Chouara tannery is signposted), choose a terrace, accept the mint sprig for the smell, and expect a small tip or a look at the shop.
Don't follow someone who says the tannery is closed or offers to take you; that is how most people end up paying more.
What travellers say goes wrong
Pushed into a leather shop, pressured to buy or tip, or told it is "closed today".
