Excellent
Excellent service to Meknes, Volubilis and Moulay Idris. We would certainly repeat the excursion with Mohamed. Very friendly and attentive.

Best tour ever!
Mohammed is just the best guide ever. He is so funny, approachable, extremely careful with respect to our needs during the trip. He told us a lot of interesting thing about the cities we visited as well as about maroccaine culture. See you next time Margherita & Marta from Italy

Excellent excursion!
We have contacted Mohamed (who happened also to be our driver) the very evening before the intended excursion date and made the arrangements that included the same itinerary, but with an early start at 8:30 am and late return to Fes at 7:45 pm, in order to get more time for sightseeing. So, we have been able to spend about 3 hours in Volubilis, 30 minutes in Moulay Idriss and about 4,5 hours in Meknès (when planning the visit to Meknès be aware that several important monuments cannot be seen/visited because they are under reconstruction). The price was 120 EUR for 2 persons. The van was confortable and Mohamed was excellent driver - he never pressed us to hurry up with sightseeing.

A beautiful meeting
The meeting with Mohamed took place at the bend of an alley in the Medina of Fez, as we love them so much in Morocco. A beautiful person, as professional as he is interesting, taxi and guide at the same time, no false note. Thank you Mohamed and we look forward to seeing you again in this beautiful city of Fez, we still have so much to discover. Best wishes. Carine and Stéphane

Very good experience! Highly recommend
We went on a day trip organised by Muhammad but driven around by Fouad. The experience was excellent and tailored exactly to how we wanted it to be & with how long we wanted to be at each site. Fouad was patient and knowledgeable of the sites. Overall, a 10/10 experience!
