What people are saying about Meknes

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 :)

The excursion was great. Lots of information from our 3 guides on the Route with Ashim on the life, culture, history and geography of Morocco. Support with another guide on the ancient site of Volubilis to do absolutely. Small hearty lunch break on a beautiful terrace at the door of the Golf of Meknes and guided tour of a great guide of Meknes. Congratulations to the whole team we recommend

Comfortable transportation in a large shuttle bus. Excellent local guides at Volubilis and Meknes. Helpful and friendly guide rode with us to explain sights along the way. Highly recommend.

Volubilis was really beautiful and the guide was excellent in every way. Meknes was also very nice.

Volubilis is a must see and Meknes is quite amazing. Enjoyed the lunch we had in Meknes.
