Excellent agency in Fez. The two excursions fully satisfied us and allowed us to discover the beautiful sites of Moulay Idriss, Volubilis, Meknes and Azrou. We highly recommend this agency. Thanks again to them.
A very nice excursion, Abdeljalil is a very good guide, he took the time to explain everything well, and allowed us to take our time well during the many stops, My family and I highly recommend! Thank you again.
Merci beaucoup Tristan pour ce jolie commentaire, que dieu vous Bénisse et vous protège toujours
Very nice excursion, a very nice and pleasant driver. An activity not to be missed in the presence of adorable monkeys
Merci beaucoup pour ce joli commentaire, dieu vous bénisse
At the appointed time and place, no van came for us, but that was entirely my fault. I had accidentally blocked Abdel in my WhatsApp.... In the end everything worked out and Abdel showed that he had tried almost desperately everything to reach us! But we finally succeeded and we drove out of Fes on our way to the unknown territory of the Middle Atlas. Beautiful landscapes and nice visits to the cave dwellers and the monkeys in the cedar forest. Abdel told a lot of interesting back stories. He calmly took his time with everything, and kept to the speed limits. A good tip for when we go out with a rental car the day after tomorrow. Thanks Abdel!
thank very much Sjef for this very nice review, god bless you and protect you all the time
This is a nice scenic drive with stops along the way. Our guide and driver was very helpful and patient. The visit to the cave, home of the Berber family was interesting. The stop at Ifrane was uninspiring - do some research before going so you have ideas of what you want to see and do - otherwise you will just sit in one of the cafes in the town. In the national park there are cute monkeys everywhere - but be warned they are greedy and snatch. Two people in the group were badly scratched by the monkeys. Lunch was in a local style cafe and was great. Overall a pleasant experience but a lot of driving.
thank you very much for this nice review
It was an unforgettable experience, which we were able to live with family. On the programme: Dream landscapes, adventure, and many other surprises... Besides, Jamal, our guide was exceptional, and very professional. To do absolutely!

Merci beaucoup pour ce charment commentaire
An extraordinary ride with a great gentleman, AbdelJalil, an adorable person and one of the best guides, if not the best, of this region of Morocco. We took advantage of his experience, his meticulous knowledge of this region and his professionalism to discover these 3 beautiful cities. With our 3 children, we devoured every word and every word, because every information given by this brave gentleman was a cultural richness to take. Thank you Abdeljalil for sharing your knowledge and all the exciting stories you told us throughout this wonderful day, which will remain etched in our hearts. I promise I'll tell everyone around me about you, and if I ever come back to Fes, you'll be my first contact there. You offered us unforgettable happiness: Happiness lies in the riches that cannot be bought. A HUGE THANK YOU!
Merci beaucoup monsieur Bilal pour ce très joli témoignage, que dieu vous bénisse et vous protège, et vous rendent tout ce que vous avez dépensé au Maroc des milliers de fois en santé, en bonheur, en amour, en bien être.
The guide was very friendly and explained a lot about life here in MOROCCO , and its history. The visit with the monkeys was very good , we were able to feed them , we also visited a cave house with tea and try on outfits. I recommend this day that changes from the city of Fes.
