Great day trip from Fez - This was a very beautiful and interesting day trip from Fez. The drive through the countryside was lovely. The Roman ruins of Volubilis were especially stunning with the backdrop of wildflowers and green hills. (I recommend paying for the local guide - it enhances the experience.) Mohamed stopped for photos and gave us several choices for activities. At the end, he gave us a wonderful little tour of the outside of the Medina, including the drive up to the fort overlooking the city and a trip to the ceramic tile making/ mosaic coop (highly recommended). There was no pressure to buy anything and the coop was fascinating.

A very pleasant day out, with great locations. Ideal day out from Fes. - A great day out. Very interesting. Well cared for by Mohammed who took us to these places. You can engage a private guide at Volubilis if needed, but we took ourselves which was sufficient. A good driver, nice car, very comfortable.

VIP Day Tour - Very good day trip with Mohamed who was a good driver and flexible with the itinerary. Stops for photos, drinks whenever l wanted. No time pressures so could spend as long as I wanted at Volubilis which was my highlight. Very nice lunch recommendation in Meknes. Definitely recommend this private car trip with Mohamed and Happy Morocco tours 😊😊

Relaxing and interesting day trip from Fes - Our driver and guide Mohammad was prompt and courteous. He was enthusiastic about his work and clearly proud of his heritage and the areas we visited. We found the destinations outlined interesting, in particular the Volubilis archeological site. Our guide made many additional stops at points of interest and provided opportunities to photograph wonderful views. We were given the opportunity to tailor the trip to our liking. We were never rushed and got much more than we expected. I would highly recommend.

A trip to the past - The trip went very well, we went again with Shariff (again I apologize if that's not how it's spelled) and everything went very well, it felt like we were all family. In Volubilis we had a guide waiting for us who gave us all the history we were going through. The ruins are really very beautiful and are very well preserved, the mosaics on the floor were beautiful. In Meknes we had another guide waiting for us who made us spend an excellent moment of knowledge and wonder about the Medina of Meknes and that wonderful and magnificent Mosque, without words. As for Moulay Idriss I think he was expecting more. Once again I have to show my appreciation for Shariff who was like family. Thanks.

A nice day of touring. - Our English speaking driver picked us up right on time for our full day car trip. He was a VERY FAST and efficient driver who was friendly and helpful in every way. He dropped us at each site and told us where to go and what to do. Volubilis was wonderful and we spent 3 hours there. Meknes was very crowded and many of the sites were closed for renovation, but our driver told us what was open and made sure we saw what we wanted to see. He was kind enough to rescue us once when we were hopelessly lost. We had a nice day of touring.

Missing belongings and disorganized pickup - Don’t leave anything in the bus, my jacket went missing and the operator was less than helpful in recovering. The pickup was disorganized and rather than pick up at my riad as discussed I had to walk 2km and wait at a cafe with a guide while the other guests were waiting for me on the bus across the Medina. The restaurant they took us to was extremely slow and wish we had more time in Vobulis and much less time in Meknes
