Great day trip and walking tours - Very nice day trip with great guided visit of Volubilis. The walking tour of Meknes guided by Rachid was great and very instructive on the culture, history and architecture. Our driver Hassan was also very knowledgeable and kind.

Wonderful way to see the rich history of the country! - I had a wonderful time!
Everything worked perfectly!
I got picked up at the time and place I arranged beforehand, the driver was friendly and punctual. He picked up someone else and brought us to the rest of the group. The rest of the trip was in a modern and comfortable Mercedes Benz Sprinter Bus. The Driver Hassan did an excellent job and the driving was always safe, passive and smooth. He and his colleague shared their knowledge in English, French and even Spanish!
I had a fantastic time and saw a lot of beatiful places in a safe and friendly environment!
I would recommend this agency without hesitation!

Super nice experience with Baha and Zakariae! - We did the trip with Zakariae and Baha. The two guides were super helpful and nice! Zakariae is a expert driver while Baha is a great guide, and they both entertained us amazingly!
The trip was from 9am to 6pm and we visited 3 places including the on site guides, who helps if you want to really enjoy the visits.

A great day thanks to Hassan! - We had an amazing day with Hassan, our driver and guide, who really cared for us!
His perfect driving, his very interesting comments on each site along the way, his advice and his great kindness won us over!
He stopped us in the most beautiful places to allow us to contemplate, admire, take pictures. Always with great kindness and patience.
A huge thank you Hassan! We will leave with you with our eyes closed!
The visit of Volubilis is definitely worthwhile, but with an on-site guide that will give you essential and exciting information to fully understand the history of this magnificent site. We were lucky enough to be accompanied by Mohammed, an exceptional guide!
We highly recommend this one-day tour which we will keep an unforgettable memory!

Interesting volubilis unfortunately Meknès is undergoing restoration and some sites are not open to visitors - The driver showed up on time at the meeting point. Very nicely gave us information about what we saw on the route driving carefully. Thank you Hassan 🙏

Great ruins, poor tour - This tour was not as advertised and was not up to what we expected. Volubulis is amazing and really worth seeing, but the guide’s English was poor and added little to the tour. We specifically booked a day tour that did not mention Moulay Idriss as we did not want to spend the time going there, but then the tour went there anyway. Between stopping outside town for photos, then going into town for the mausoleum (which the non Muslim guests could not enter anyway) and getting everyone organised again, this probably took up an hour or more. We got to Meknès at about 2:45pm and were told to have lunch for an hour then meet the guide for the city tour at 3.40pm, but our tour manager could not tell us when the city tour would finish and we would leave to come back to Fes, which was difficult as we had plans for NYE dinner. He seemed to be suggesting it might be 5;30 we would leave Meknès, which was when we were supposed to be back in Fes. In the end because we could not get a clear answer we did our own short tour of Meknes and caught the train back to Fes. Oh and the bus driver had an accident with a car. All in all I found the tour organization to be poor, but the ruins are definitely worth visiting.
