We had a safe and perfect driver and a comfortable car on the 3 1/2. Hour trip from Casablanca to Fez, and again on return. Our separate Fez guide was equally wonderful. We had a very nice Moroccan late lunch at his recommended restaurant.
Thank you for your kind feedback! We’re very happy to hear you had a safe and comfortable journey between Casablanca and Fez, and that you enjoyed your time with the guide and the local lunch experience. We hope to welcome you again for another trip in Morocco!
Excellent day in Fez - Rachid, our driver was on time for our hotel pickup and the ride was very comfortable. Our quide, Abda, was very knowledgeable ( and funny) , he navigated the alleyways of the Medina like the pro he is - we got a great history lesson and a good view of everyday life in Fez - he also recommended a fantastic and beautiful place for lunch, definitely the best food that we have had on our trip so far. Also, the restaurant is in a former private house that is absolutely spectacular, a magical location.
