Very good experience, the driver (Zaki) was very cautious, helpful, and attentive. Well-organized tour; the timing for visiting the attractions was good.
Great tour of the Roman ruins in Volubilis and other stops in Meknes. Took a tour of the mosque and palace in Meknes which was well worth the cost. Great value for this tour.
We met Ahmed, who is a friendly guide and knows Morocco perfectly. Professional and attentive, he will accompany you everywhere with all the passion he generously offers!
Merci infiniment pour ce superbe retour ! Nous sommes ravis de lire que vous avez passé un excellent moment en compagnie d'Ahmed. Sa passion et son professionnement font toute notre force. Au plaisir de vous revoir !
I would say this tour was mostly just organised transport with a guide in Meknes. No guide in Volubilis and we were told “there’s enough information there” except most of the signs have been ripped off so a guide was pretty essential. Meknes tour was good in parts but we also spent far too long going through the cheap tat (knock offs) souks rather than seeing anything interesting. Saw the mausoleum and the famous gate with a very brief visit to the spice/sweets souk and an interesting artisinal craft area, and the mausoleum was beautiful. None of the advertised optional extra monuments were actually offered as an option. On balance, disappointing. Food was surprisingly excellent. And if you ask for a la carte they will give you it rather than tje fixed menu.
Thank you for your feedback! We're glad you enjoyed the food and your time in Meknes. Please note that this is a shared day trip with fixed durations. A guide is included for Meknes, while Volubilis is for independent exploration; unfortunately, the damaged signage at that public site is entirely out of our control. In Meknes, we spend about 3 hours. Visiting specific monuments is completely optional—we never force attractions on our guests, which is why they weren't pushed. Guests are always free to explore them on their own during the allotted city time. Safe travels!
Excellent day. Everything was perfect. From the choice of the program, the restaurant, to the amazing guide Sidi Raffic! And I cannot forget our dedicated driver, Abdoul, who shared his culture with us. Thank you for this excellent day.
Un grand merci pour ce magnifique commentaire ! Nous sommes ravis que tout ait été parfait, du programme jusqu'au choix du restaurant. Notre équipe a vraiment adoré faire partie de votre excursion et partager ce moment avec vous. Au plaisir de vous accueillir à nouveau pour une prochaine aventure !
They picked me up on time near my accommodation. We went on tour with two other groups, five in total. In Volubilis, we had about an hour and a half of free time to go around freely in our groups. The time was adequate and enough to see the ruins. We then moved on to Meknes, where we had lunch and walked around with a local tour guide. The town was quieter and cleaner than Fez. It was the perfect tour, with safe driving on the move and a return time of around 18.30 as originally planned. If time permits, this is a tour that I would definitely recommend during your stay in Fez.
素敵なレビューをありがとうございます!ツアーが完璧だったとのこと、そしてフェズ滞在中のツアーとしてお勧めしていただけて大変光栄です。 当ツアーは少人数でのシェアツアーですので、ヴォルビilisでの自由時間をマイペースに十分楽しんでいただけて何よりです。メクネスの静かで美しい街並みや、安全なドライブにもご満足いただけて、私たちのチーム一同もこの素晴らしい一日に立ち会うことができ、とても嬉しく思っております。 またモロッコへお越しの際は、ぜひお気軽にお声がけください。またお会いできる日を楽しみにしております!
The van ride was comfortable and our driver did a great job making good time between stops. We had plenty of time at Volubilis to wander and take photos. There was no guide to provide information, but it was still very enjoyable. The lunch stop was very tasty and they gave us a lot of food. I had the mixed grill and it was fantastic. There was a local guide for the Meknes portion of the tour. Our guide, Rasheed, was great. He spoke at least four languages and was very funny. Overall, we saw quite a bit and had a great time. We left Fez around 9:30 am and were back at about 7:00 pm.
Thank you so much for the great review! We are thrilled to hear that you had a fantastic time! It's wonderful that you enjoyed the comfortable drive, the generous lunch (the mixed grill is definitely a favorite!), and the independent time exploring Volubilis. Rasheed will be so happy to hear your kind words about his humor and language skills during the Meknes tour! Thank you for choosing us, and safe travels on your next adventure!
The tour was as advertised and we were very happy with our guide Hassan. There was plenty of time allocated to explore Volubilis, and the walking tour of Meknes was excellent. A very enjoyable day.
Thank you so much for the great review! We are so glad the tour was exactly as advertised and that you had an excellent time exploring both Volubilis and Meknes. Thank you for choosing us, and we hope to welcome you back in the future!
The Roman ruins and meknes, both with their respective guides, were very good and pleasant tour, however the Yassin driver who caught us in the hotel drove very badly, in addition to running freava a lot on top, I got very nauseous.. as we did not know the place, at lunchtime we asked the options, he did not give us any and took us in those tourist restaurants of closed menu full of other tourists and their guides, being that we talked that we wanted something different, it was very unpleasant and then it became an annoying climate (probably he gets a slice to take the tourists la)..
Agradecemos o seu feedback sincero sobre a visita a Volubilis e Meknes. Ficamos felizes em saber que aproveitou as ruínas e as visitas com os guias locais. Por outro lado, lamentamos profundamente o desconforto causado pelo estilo de condução do Yassin. A segurança e o bem-estar dos nossos clientes são prioridades absolutas, e já reportámos esta situação internamente para que as devidas medidas sejam tomadas. Relativamente ao almoço, pedimos sinceras desculpas pelo sucedido. Houve claramente uma falha de comunicação com o motorista, pois os nossos clientes têm total liberdade de escolha e ele deveria ter respeitado a sua preferência por algo diferente em vez de seguir a rota padrão. Boa viagem!
A beautiful tour to the ruins of Volubilis and to Meknes. On the way there are some stops to viewpoints. If you’re thinking about taking the train from Fez to Meknes to see the city, book this day tour instead. Our driver Hassan was great. Helpful, informative and a pleasant conversation partner.
Thank you so much for the great review! We are thrilled to hear that you preferred our day tour over taking the train, and that you enjoyed the beautiful views along the way. Our team truly enjoyed being part of your day trip. Thank you for choosing us, and we hope to welcome you back to Morocco soon!
