Viagem de um dia a Meknes, Moulay Idriss e Volubilis

Excursion very disorganized. At no time does the guide/driver give a brief explanation of the activity. He puts you in a minibus and starts the adventure. There's no explanation of anything. It makes a stop to see the mountains and a lake (which mountains and which lake no idea), stops in Volubilis 1h when in the program says that there are two, Idriss is seen in the distance in a stop in the middle of the road and not on the side of the Mausoleum, in the program marks that it stops 2 hours. In Meknès he stops for lunch 1 hour and then 1h30min with a guide in English when he had booked in Spanish and with all his nose we are told that the guide is not included that according to them as a gift for good bearings we get it. Too bad. We had a good time because one adapts, and in the group there were some Italians with whom we had a lot of fun.

Honestly I like lady so much and the transportation were great but I really have to say that the program is not that different from the others plus it was Friday (It's the day off for this country) so we didn't get a chance to see much in the Medina of Meknes. All the shops were closed and it was quite boring while we were there. Some of the stops are not that necessarily as there is nothing much to see. The lunch was great but we didn't go there just to eat. It would be much better if tour provider could skip some stops or places and find more interesting places to replace.

This tour was pretty different than the viator page claims. First it mentions at some places that it's a private tour and at other a group tour - it was a group tour (we were 9 people) The first stop was volubilis, amazing place. The price was included with a guide, though not the best. He got several facts wrong Then drive through Mulay Ismael ( Viator says stop for 2 hours Last stop Meknes. Here we first had lunch (not included) and then a guided tour through the city (included)

Volubilis is a wonder to see without hesitation and with a guide. It is very hot so do not forget a hat, sunscreen and fresh water. Meknes comes out of the work and was able to visit it again with a guide. Guides are not included in the price. Our driver was very good and saved time by his knowledge of the place.

We chose to make the excursion at the last minute as Fez had more than sight. We hesitated between this one and Chefchaouen, but finally for the latter we found it many hours by car and discarded it. We did the excursion with two other girls, Spanish as well. There were 4 of us plus the driver. The excursion was in English, there was no Spanish. First stop, Volubilis, entrance fee (only Dirhams accepted). We went free, unguided, and well, there's not much mystery about the place. Second stop, Moulay Idriss, it's a nice little village, we were little because there wasn't much to see, we had a juice in a terrace bar and continued. Thirdly, Meknes, a large square where you enter streets full of stalls... These positions you find anywhere you go. The driver was very friendly, he was explaining things and answering questions. You can pay him in euros or dirhams. To spend a day is fine.

Nice time out of Fes for the day. Driver picked up on time and we departed the city after a few pickups. We were a small group. First stop at Voluvis was really nice, amazing site. The driver was not clear about what time to be back at the van so that was frustrating but it worked out fine. The next stop Moulay Idriss was nothing special. If you are not a Muslim you can’t visit the mosque which seems the only reason to go to this town. Finally last stop Meknes which was just ok, there’s not a lot to see really and we were there all afternoon. There is no tour included on this package it’s just the transport from Fes so if you want that at Voluvis then you have to pay extra I don’t think it was needed honestly. Overall if you have extra time in Fes this is a fine excursion but otherwise I wouldn’t make plans just for this.

(Comments in Japanese) ドライバーの方の性格や、一緒に参加するお客さんによって各地点の滞在時間は変わると思います。私たちを案内してくれたドライバーさんはとても親切にしてくれました。 [チップについて] ツアーの人数次第ですが、私たちは二人で20ドルお渡ししました。ちなみに現地でツアーに申し込むとひとり35ユーロのようです(入場料、ランチ、チップ除く)

The tour was very well we could see the main sights of these three cities. The guide was telling us some curiosities of the area. Recommended a restaurant that was a bit expensive otherwise all great

Our driver Simon made this trip for us. He did everything to adapt the trip to what we wanted and was courteous and friendly throughout. We stopped to take photographs of the resevoir/lake outside Fes and then travelled through beautiful agricultural scenery - miles of olive, orange and pomegranite trees and vast and smaller fields planted with crops or newly ploughed. We visited Volubilis first when it was very quiet and had plenty of time to explore. Then one of the highlights for me was driving through the very narrow market street of the old holy town Moulay Idriss packed with Saturday market stalls, people, donkeys and parked cars, all this to find a small restaurnant opposite a pharmacy we had been recommended for lunch. Its certainly the best way to see what the market has to offer without hastle. After lunch we drove onto Meknes where Simon negotiated a local guide to show us the main sights. It's a good idea to get a guide as there is so much to see apart from the Medina, city gate and square. Don't miss the king's granary and ruined stables worth the entrance fee of 70 ds per person. Thank you to Simon for stopping at the best photo spots, his excellent local knowledge and driving skills - I don't know how he managed to get through some of those narrow passage ways.

The guide and rider was very friendly and explained us me the history of the city. It was an excellent experience and I really recommend.
