Beautiful trip - This trip is perfect, we visited wonderful places with Mohamed, whose role in this trip I still want to know. Are you a driver or a Tour Guide? We were amazed by the way he explained these places.

Tour a volubilis - The driver was great, he bought us water and everything for the road, he also carries the car better than other colleagues, he goes fast, he explains what you need, he passes you his number for whatever you need... Anyway, highly recommended, we have saved your contact and repeat with him.

Meknes - We visited three beautiful places. The first is the city of pomegranates, the second is Moulay Idriss Zerhoun and the third is Meknes. All these places were very beautiful and it was a lovely day with Mohamed. He was learning Spanish in a fun way because everyone in his car spoke Spanish. He spoke good English, drove well and had a lot of experience in these places. Thank you very much for this wonderful trip.

A trip to beautiful cities - A trip to these cities, Moulay Idriss Zerhoun, Volubilis and Meknes, was very wonderful, as there were many wonderful landscapes, and this is thanks to the driver, Mohammed, the young man with a young age and a great mind, whose role was a driver and guide at the same time. Thank you. mohammed

Extra costs, lots of time in car - Our driver (not a guide) was great - very friendly, got us mint tea, let us try the local fruits, and took another guest back to hotel (added 1 hour of being in a car for us so that was rough) when she got sick. His English is also pretty good after only studying for 1 year. The trip itself was not great. You spend a lot of time in the car 3-4+ hours and the places you stop are ok. No guide is included in this price, just the ride to the places and a mint tea/small water. Itinerary: Drive 1-2 hours Moulay Idriss 40 minutes - guide $3 Drive 10-15 minutes Volubilis 1.5 hours - entrance $10pp (100 dirham), guide is extra - if you like Roman history these ruins are interesting Drive 1 hour Meknes 3 hours - could be a cool town if things were open, has medina, Mausoleum of Moulay Ismail is free and cool to walk in. Our group left after 2 hours. Drive 1.5 hours back to Fes Note: Friday is a holy day so the only restaurants open in Meknes were more expensive than Fes and medina was a ghost town. The amount of driving and what you see on this trip just isn’t worth it.
