The tour was really nice, Volubilis and Meknès are two very different places and you get to see different aspects of Morocco. The road from Fez to Meknès is amazing itself, with many mountains, trees and nature overall, plus some cute villages. The tour was made even more special by the driver, Driss, who is a very kind and friendly man, always smiling. He explained many things to us on the road. I had two guides as well, one in Volubilis and one in Meknès. They both were nice and told me many interesting things. Rachid, the guide in Meknès, even made a detour for me to show me a part of the town I was interested in but that wasn't on the program. We managed to see everything in a couple of hours, of course you'd need to have strong legs :)

A memorable day thanks to RACHID (<3) who accompanied us all day without counting his hours in the Medina. He knows it like the back of his hand as well as all the history and customs of Morocco. He is extremely kind, benevolent, open-minded, cultured, accommodating and speaks French very well. We will always remember it, thank you again for these shared moments.

It’s an excellent experience and you could see almost all of Fez in a short time, with very friendly and helpful tour guide

We really liked the guide; he speaks good French and is interesting!

Recommended without hesitation! Perfect and beautiful discoveries!
