Roman, Maknes - It’s an eye opening experience, specially, with the Roman City driver is very professional and courteous. We wish we had more time that we could explore more area just notice no matter which City that we go. They have a lot gates ,green gate, blue green or different kind of gate.

Great personal driver and visit of Volubilis - We had a great time with Hamza as our driver. The ruins of Volubilis were an impressive sight to behold, and the mausoleum of Moulay Ismail in Meknes was truly beautiful and peaceful. Hamza also took the time to bring us to a few lovely panoramic viewpoints, which we really appreciated. Two notes I would give to people booking this experience (and these are not reflective of the quality of Hamza’s services) 1) This is not a guided tour. Hamza was an excellent driver, answered our questions and was a pleasure to spend time with, but the drivers do not follow you on the visits or give historical/cultural information on what you are seeing. 2) Be warned that there isn’t much to see in Meknes as of April 2024. Most of the monuments and large parts of the old town are under renovation and inaccessible to visitors. Only the mausoleum was open. As such, our impression of Meknes remained somewhat hollow and disappointing.

It was a great day trip - It was a great day trip. The drive is very relaxing and beautiful. Voubilis had impressive Roman ruins to see. Spent about an hour . Then 1hr 45min at Meknes. Just enough time to eat at the restaurant they literally walk you into, and then to walk around the Medina . it was bustling with people, and a little different from the other Medinas I've seen. Our driver, Mahdi, was superb! Very informative, humorous, kind, and he stopped at multiple spots to take pictures on the way. He spoke both French and English . A nice, relaxing alternative to Fes, just to see more of the surrounding areas, learn. ore about Muslim and Berber people, and see some history of Morocco.

Excellent day - Excellent day in the company of our super singer driver Youssef! : Adorable, very considerate and attentive to the group. His good humor and kindness contributed greatly to the quality of the excursion!! For me the positive point is that no one is pushing you to consume guides or objects on the sites: you are free to do the visits alone if you wish and are therefore not directed to the points of sale tourist (often the case in excursions). water is provided. Basically, if you like freedom of movement, go for it!

This tour is definitely worth it - Our host Ouma and our Driver Hassan were great! Ouma was very kind and gave us good insight into the history and culture of the different cities, she was very friendly and also did not mind to answer any questions that came here way. We also felt very safe driving with Hassan and he got us to each city and back just as scheduled. This tour is definitely worth it and it is one you will remember but if you want to make it more remarkable, go with Ouma and Hassan.
