Interesting tour - We did the day trip to Volubilis, Meknes and Moulay Idress. Sufyan was friendly, polite, well presented, helpful and knowledgeable. He made the trip interesting and helped us understand the culture and history of Morocco. He was a great ambassador for his country.

Exceptional service - Bekben Travel - We have travelled to over 33 countries but have never experienced the level of service as that from Hamza and his staff at Bekben Travel in Fes, Morocco. All our tours were well planned, with very safe and knowledgeable drivers and who had the same commitment to service as Hamza. We did a private tour to Volubilis, Moulay Idriss and Meknes. Our driver Sufyan not only shared his expertise in Moroccan culture, history and anthropology but went out his way to help us even after the tour had ended. Similarly our group trip to Chefchaouen ran like clockwork in a very comfortable A/C van. We forgot a seat cushion on the bus and I contacted Hamza after 9pm and he responded within a few minutes. He tracked the driver Mehdi who very kindly made a special trip to drop off the cushion at 1045pm. Dedication to care and service like this cannot be bought, it comes from the heart. We applaud and thank Hamza, Sufyan and Mehdi and will recommend them to all our family and friends. 5 STARS does not do them justice

Fes to Chefchaouen transfer via Meknes, Moulay Idriss & Volubilis with Abdelkarim - Bekben arranged this one way transfer for us. Arranging this with manager Hamza was easy and straightforward. Our awesome 5-star driver was Abdelkarim. He showed up on-time and with good communication the entire time. He was knowledgable of the areas we visited. Each stop we made was worthwhile. Abdelkarim was a safe, experienced driver and very friendly. He was very personable and made us feel comfortable the entire time we were with him. He knew all the perfect spots for picture-taking. He was easy to talk to and gave us insight on local living, even recipes for some tagine. We would definitely book with Bekben travel again and would specifically ask for Abdelkarim.

Fes day trip - We found our driver Sufyan to be very knowledgeable about Moroccan history and culture, with excellent English. A safe driver and extremely courteous, who went out of his way to accommodate us. A highly moral and ethical person, any company would be proud and lucky to have him as an employee. We wish him best of luck in the future and hope to meet again on our next visit to Morocco. We will recommend his services to our family and friends Priya and Mina Lalloo, Canada

Very suggestive visit... - Very suggestive visit to the Roman city of Volubilis, with remains of great historical merit. Interesting visit to Moulay Driss Zerhoun, holy city of Islam. By our choice, the visit to Meknes was very short.

Full filling, informative and beautiful. - What a wonderful day! Mohamed Elyahyaoui was an exceptional driver, guide and caretaker. Anything you want to know, he will tell you. He went above and beyond to assure our comfort. Be prepared with questions so you get the most of his knowledge. He knows all the stops for great pictures and he is also a great photographer. Bring your smiles. We had plenty of time in each stop. I would recommend Mohamed. He is like your favorite uncle.

Day trip from fes - Hamza was a fantastic driver and made sure the day trip from Fes was tailored to our interests. The Roman ruins at Volubilis were amazing to see, and we were given plenty of time to explore at our own pace. A highlight of the day was the delicious BBQ lunch in Idlay Mouriss. We had a special shopping experience in Meknes where I bought a beautiful rug. We really felt we had a local experience, would recommend.

Effortless and Personalized Day in Fez with Hamza, even in the pouring rain! - We spent the day with Hamza and he was professional, charming, and so knowledgeable. The car was new, clean, and comfortable, and his driving made getting around completely stress-free. The day didn’t go exactly as planned—it comically poured the entire time we were at Volubilis—but Hamza adjusted the trip perfectly for us and the weather. We ended up skipping Meknes, but he took us around Fez so we could get photos from some amazing spots and always stoped to take photos if we wanted. He really tailored the day to our interests, making it feel personal and effortless. Hamza made our day in Fez so easy and enjoyable, and we’d happily tour with him again.

Bekben travel , see Fes like a local! - Mr Hamza and his company are all first rate. We enjoyed Volubilis, Mekenes daytrip. before the trip Hamza suggested we depart Fes earlier to avoid the heat of the day and busy time which made the trip so much better. We also did day tip in Fes with Bekben travel which has great guides, especially Yassin who took us to a restaurant for lunch at Riad Najjarine which was the best meal of our week in Morocco

An interesting excursion - Despite a delay of 30 minutes, we had a pleasant day. Once there in Volubilis, we found that the infrastructure is very little documented. But that is to be seen.
