Volubris is definitely worth it... - This tour was mostly just transportation, but given that's what we needed this was exceptional. We spent time at Volubris (where we paid $20 USD [200 dirhams] for a local guide, and that was totally worth it), Meknes, and a side adventure to Moulay Idriss, which was incredible. We spent time mostly walking around the cities without much intent, but that was also what we were looking to do which was awesome. The main purpose of our booking this tour was to get transit for a large group of people (six people) without having to deal with the assortment of public transit. This tour was great for that, and I would highly recommend it. Our driver was great. If you are a fan of ancient civilizations and ruins, Volubris shouldn't be missed. The impact of finding the ruins of a Roman city in Africa is simply incredible.

Fantastic tour of Meknes and Ifrane areas - We spent 2 entire days with Driss who drove us to visit Meknes and Ifrane areas. Driss was very kind, punctual and helpful. Considering we had limited time to visit Meknes and Ifrane we didn’t take any local guide for these trips but we should have! It would be much better to have details about the different cities history. We highly recommend Driss who has been amazing with us!

Great tour to Azrou and Ifrane - I went to Morocco with my family in early April 2019. Recently found the business card for this tour company which prompted me to write this late review. We had a lovely tour with our driver Driss Razyn. He was friendly and easy going with our spontaneous plans. He stopped the car at many stunning places so we could experience the beautiful countryside and took us to nice local restaurant for lunch. Overall a great day trip, one of our highlights of the whole holiday. Many Thanks to Driss and Nice Day Tours.

Beautiful trip to Volubilis - This was a beautiful surprise! We stopped here on our way to Chefchaouen and were blown away by how beautiful the ruins of this city are. These ruins are very well preserved and its amazing how much detail is still there. You get a very good idea of what this city must have been. Well worth a visit.

Wonderful trip to Volubilis and Meknes - Went on a day trip to Volubilis and Meknes from Fes. I highly recommend this tour company. Our driver Ali was very friendly, patient and punctual. We visited everything we wanted to see and we were never rushed. I would definitely use Nice Day Tours in the future for other day trips. Morocco never fails to amaze us, next time we will visit some other cities! Volubilis is one of the most beautiful Roman sites I have seen. Also, in Meknes you can get great bargains (prices are cheaper than Marrakesh and Fes)

Good Driver, no guide provided - Driss was our driver an was great. He was friendly and a good driver. However, he is not a guide. We hired for an english speaker but communication was limited. Would use again, but feel the advertisement should be a bit clearer. We really enjoyed Volibulus but had to cut Meknes short as my wife fell ill.
