This tour was pretty... - This tour was pretty different than the viator page claims. First it mentions at some places that it's a private tour and at other a group tour - it was a group tour (we were 9 people) The first stop was volubilis, amazing place. The price was included with a guide, though not the best. He got several facts wrong Then drive through Mulay Ismael ( Viator says stop for 2 hours Last stop Meknes. Here we first had lunch (not included) and then a guided tour through the city (included)

Departure:9:00 (On the way, we stopped by the lake to take photos) Volubilis:10:30-12:00 Moulay Idris:12:30-14:30 (Lunch at a local restaurant, 60-80 Dhs pp) Meknes: 15:00-17:45(90min. Free time) Return:19:00 *Our driver, Abdullah, was so helpful that we were able to spend extra time. (Comments in Japanese) ドライバーの方の性格や、一緒に参加するお客さんによって各地点の滞在時間は変わると思います。私たちを案内してくれたドライバーさんはとても親切にしてくれました。 [チップについて] ツアーの人数次第ですが、私たちは二人で20ドルお渡ししました。ちなみに現地でツアーに申し込むとひとり35ユーロのようです(入場料、ランチ、チップ除く)

Great experience - Our driver Simon made this trip for us. He did everything to adapt the trip to what we wanted and was courteous and friendly throughout. We stopped to take photographs of the resevoir/lake outside Fes and then travelled through beautiful agricultural scenery - miles of olive, orange and pomegranite trees and vast and smaller fields planted with crops or newly ploughed. We visited Volubilis first when it was very quiet and had plenty of time to explore. Then one of the highlights for me was driving through the very narrow market street of the old holy town Moulay Idriss packed with Saturday market stalls, people, donkeys and parked cars, all this to find a small restaurnant opposite a pharmacy we had been recommended for lunch. Its certainly the best way to see what the market has to offer without hastle. After lunch we drove onto Meknes where Simon negotiated a local guide to show us the main sights. It's a good idea to get a guide as there is so much to see apart from the Medina, city gate and square. Don't miss the king's granary and ruined stables worth the entrance fee of 70 ds per person. Thank you to Simon for stopping at the best photo spots, his excellent local knowledge and driving skills - I don't know how he managed to get through some of those narrow passage ways.

Transport to sites outside Fes - Nice time out of Fes for the day. Driver picked up on time and we departed the city after a few pickups. We were a small group. First stop at Voluvis was really nice, amazing site. The driver was not clear about what time to be back at the van so that was frustrating but it worked out fine. The next stop Moulay Idriss was nothing special. If you are not a Muslim you can’t visit the mosque which seems the only reason to go to this town. Finally last stop Meknes which was just ok, there’s not a lot to see really and we were there all afternoon. There is no tour included on this package it’s just the transport from Fes so if you want that at Voluvis then you have to pay extra I don’t think it was needed honestly. Overall if you have extra time in Fes this is a fine excursion but otherwise I wouldn’t make plans just for this.

Not too bad program - Honestly I like lady so much and the transportation were great but I really have to say that the program is not that different from the others plus it was Friday (It's the day off for this country) so we didn't get a chance to see much in the Medina of Meknes. All the shops were closed and it was quite boring while we were there. Some of the stops are not that necessarily as there is nothing much to see. The lunch was great but we didn't go there just to eat. It would be much better if tour provider could skip some stops or places and find more interesting places to replace.
