Back to my mom’s childhood lands for this excursion on Meknes. Emotional day and it was possible and wonderful thanks to Mohamed because he took us to all the places desired by my mom. We also had plenty of explanations and tips to spend a very pleasant day. A thousand thanks Mohamed!
Very nice day with Badr who gave us a lot of information along the way and for the visits of Volubilis and Meknes. Thank you Badr for your kindness and professionalism.
We had a great time with Sufyan as our driver. He was friendly and knowledgeable. He was flexible and gave us the time to visit at our pace. He drove very safely. He was on time. We would recommend Sufyan without hesitation. The agency also communicated very well with us and catered to our needs for this visit.
Hischam was flexible and responsive. He made sure we saw all major spots for one day. The whole ride was comfortable and relaxing.
We had a great day trip with Sufyan. The car was very comfortable, I am a big template and I never imagined having so much room to extend the legs. During our trips, Sufyan shared with us his great knowledge and love of Morocco. In addition to being a very good driver, he has always been very kind, very patient with us. We've always felt very safe. We highly recommend you to live this day with Sufyan!
Our private excursion to Volubilis, Meknes, and Moulay Idriss from Fez was absolutely fantastic! Our driver was incredibly knowledgeable, kind, and accommodating throughout the entire trip. He was easy to talk to, making the journey enjoyable and comfortable. His friendly demeanor and helpful nature truly stood out, and we felt completely at ease the whole time. We were so impressed with his service that we even hired him to take us to Casablanca the following day — that's how confident we were in his reliability and professionalism. If you're looking for a stress-free, informative, and enjoyable excursion, I highly recommend this experience. It truly exceeded our expectations!
Despite some periodic heavy rain, this was a great trip. Badr was an excellent driver who made sure that I understood the ins and outs of visiting the Volubilis ruins, the village of Moulay Idriss, and the city of Meknes. Badr was well-versed in English, and an engaging conversationalist. The highlights of the trip for me were the vast and picturesque ruins of Volubilis, and the gorgeous mausoleum of Moulay Isma’il in Meknes. A thoroughly interesting and enjoyable excursion.
Fantastic tour with the best driver. Very helpful and flexible for whatever we wanted to do along the way. Thank you so much.
Our driver, Sufyan, maintained great communication throughout the trip and provided valuable insight friendly to tourists. The ride was comfortable and spacious.
Mohamed was an excellent driver and guide. He was very professional and friendly. He introduced us to many new experiences and had a a lot of knowledge on current morrocan affairs. He was caring and always looked out for dad and me. We spent a lovely day travelling around with Mohamed. Thank you for your hospitality and your kind nature. Catriona and Neil.
