Start to finish a good day. There were my family of 5, a couple and a single man. We fit comfortably in tge can. We were never rushed but given tines time return ti the bus. The lunch option was decent prix fixe 125 MAD with overpriced beverages. All were happy.

It is difficult in French, but it depends on the group and the guide. Volubilis is worth the experience. Moulay Idriss and Meknès as a complement is good. I am satisfied with the experience and the price paid. Achim, our guide, was very interesting.
