Loved the day! - Today was another good day in Morrocco, this time with a wonderful trip out of Fez. I was picked up by the driver Ismail who was very polite, punctual and organised. He explained everything that would be happening which allowed me to relax and just look forward to the day. The highlights for me was the spectacular and beautiful countryside we drove through. Really breathtaking. Ismail stopped when we wanted to look and take pictures and was constantly giving us interesting information. Also I loved Volubilis the ancient Roman city. Well worth the visit alone. I would also say the restaurant he recommended in Meknes provided the best meal I had in the week in Morrocco so far. OK that's what I have to say. PS Ismail was also an excellent driver.

A little advice🤔 - The walk went very well, the driver was friendly and professional. Before going to Meknas, target the places you want to visit, so as not to waste time there.

Cannot recommend this excursion enough! - Our extremely welcoming and knowledgeable driver - Foued - was flexible and efficient, allowing us to relax and enjoy the beautiful sites that Morocco has to offer. It was our first time in Morocco and, as a young couple travelling alone, we felt safe and well looked-after from start to finish! Foued was highly approachable and answered all our questions about the sites and the country. I highly recommend Fes City Tours; we have been on two excursions with them and can confirm that they are very trustworthy and the tours are great value for money!

3 day around Fez - I planned 3 tours from Italy with Fez City Tour agency: 1- Private tour of Fez Medina (Inside and Outside) in italian language 2- Volubilis -Mouly Idriss and Meknes day trip 3- Chefchaouen Reliable travel agency, well organized, and cheaper than other. The tours were well organized with the right time to visit each place. A big thank to Soukaina, who remotely managed all the reservations, the organization of 2 transfers and 3 tours. She was very kind, very helpful and always ready on Whatsapp to answer our requests at any time of the day. Thanks to Zohair, our guide in Fez, for the helpful advices and the pleasant company.

Volubilis not to be missed! - Volubilis is definitely the jewel on the crown of this tour. It was so unexpected to find so many Roman remains in this part of Morocco. We were given one and a half hours to wander through the ruins and take photos. There were lots of local guides there to hire if required. We could easily have spent another hour there! Some of the mosaics were wonderfully preserved. Moulay Idriss we only drove through. Meknes was a bit of a disappointment. We drove through the city while our guide explained what the main monuments were. Unfortunately we couldn't see much because there were so many buildings undergoing reconstruction. We were taken to a restaurant for lunch but we chose to explore a little on foot and do some shopping rather than waste time eating. Our guide was really nice and helpful and always willing to help and give suggestions. The only disadvantage was that he only spoke French. A huge thanks to Soukiana who very kindly organised this tour for us and also our pick-ups from Fez airport to Fez and back again. She was always available on Whatsapp to help us with everything. Thanks to her our whole holiday was a success!
