- Fes - After breakfast city tour of Fez. Beginning with the Bab Boujloud door which unfolds a beautiful esplanade on which every year the free concerts of the Festival of Fes sacred music of the world take place.
- Volubilis - An ancient Berber and Roman site in the mountains, Volubilis is one of Morocco’s most significant places of archaeological interest. Just 30 kilometers outside of Meknes, it is easy to visit on a day trip. Now a UNESCO-listed site, you can see stone carvings, statues, mosaics, extensive foundations and numerous dividing walls, an ancient bathhouse, a section of an aqueduct, and more. Information boards around the complex explain the significance of different sections.
- La Grande Terrasse - A panoramic view on Moulay Driss holy status. The whitewashed town of Moulay Idriss sits astride two green hills in a cradle of mountains and is one of the country’s most important pilgrimage sites. Given its picturesque setting, pretty historic core and national importance, it’s a mystery why more tourists don’t visit.
- Meknes Medina - First a short break for lunch in a remarkable restaurant. then go in a tour inside Meknes (the imperial city of Morocco) from visit Bâb El Khamis, next to the old Medinah of Meknes; Walk through the alleyways of the medina all diverging towards the Great Mosque; Visit of the Idrissides Palace; Visit of the Bou Inania Madrasa, a masterpiece of Hispano-Moorish architecture; and El Hedim Square: not to ignore its remarkable collection dedicated to the region of Tafilalet; Visit, then, the Mausoleum of Moulay Ismaïl, another tour outside meknes by cars is waiting your before getting back to Fes from another different direction .

Saved the Day or at least the Tour - This company stepped in at the last minute when the previous company did not show up. The vehicle and driver were excellent and got us to promised destinations in good time.

Stepped into save the day. - After being let down by another provider, we messaged last minute to get to the Roman ruins outside Fes and Meknes. They responded immediately and provided a very knowledgeable and safe driver to get us to these locations. It was a great day. Along with a double rainbow and seeing storks perched on trees we decided the travel gods were on our side.

Honest and responsive. - 5 of 5. Very safe driver in a part of the world where that is not common. Abdul Ali was respectful and responsive, adjusting the plan as we asked. He advocated for the items on his list but then changed when we asked. Really nice van, comfortable for 6.

Couple excursion - Ali was very nice. He took us in a spacious car to Meknes, Moulay Idriss and Volubilis, where he made stops at certain points with spectacular panoramic views or interesting places like a ceramic factory on the outskirts of Fez.
Ali always cared about giving us a good Service and gave us freedom to move. Shukraan Ali!!!

Taken for a ride - We got a message from Karim the night before confirming our meeting so we thought good. However our guide was not Karim, but Karim showed up to give our guide, Abdul, his car. Both of them were late. So did Karim outsource our tour?
To start with our guide wanted to take us to places in Fez that were not on the tour. Our guides English was not good and it wasn’t until we told him that we wanted to get to Volubilis before it got too hot that he turned the car around to leave Fez.
When we got to Volubilis, after making a couple of nice, scenic stops, our guide asked us if we wanted a private guide to see the ruins. Abdul told us it would be 300MAD but when we checked later that day we found we should have paid less than half that. On top of that our private guide in the ruins demanded a tip.
We had a good visit walking through the Medina in Moulay-Idriss. And then our guide arranged lunch which was very authentic. He bought meat and vegetables at the market and then we went to a kitchen to have our lunch prepared.
Meknes was a big disappointment. We started at an artisan shop where they kept trying to sell me a rug that I said I liked but had no interest in buying (we learned that in Morocco showing any interest opens you up to harassing sales people). We bought one small item and after negotiating a price they got us to pay in Euros and gave us a very poor exchange rate. Thats our fault but by this point we didn’t trust our guide and figure he took us to a shop where he had a relationship. We really didn’t see Meknes but just drove through and our guide said that’s all they ever doing Meknes.
After convincing our guide that we didn’t want to do anymore we drove back to Fez without air conditioning on a 90 degree day.
I would avoid this tour.
