Awesome Tour to Meknes - I highly recommend this day trip to Volubilis and Meknes! Our guide Abdelhadi was very knowledgeable and pointed out many things on our drive from Fes to Meknes, making it much more memorable. He was also very helpful and kind and lent us an umbrella since it was raining during our tour of Meknes and also took us to a nice lunch spot. Volubilis was awesome to see and learn about and I would highly recommend going to this site if you are in Fes. Overall, I learned a lot on the tour of Meknes and had a great time. The other guide Hafssa was also super nice and welcoming. The driver Hassan was also excellent and got us there safely!

Amazing day trip from Fes! - We started our tour with Abdelhadi as our guide who was incredibly knowledgeable and kind. He gave us detailed and concise history of the areas visited, we all learned so much from him. He even lent us his umbrella during the rainstorm and some extra cash for an admission fare! Hafssa was also very kind and met us midway on our Meknes tour to check in. Hassan our driver was very skilled at navigating the winding roads and stopped at wonderful viewpoints along the way. All in all, it was a wonderful day trip full of amazing views and wonderful history!

Hassan is a star! Brilliant trip. - Travelling as a solo female, I highly recommend this trip with Hassan. He's brilliant, Comms were great, meeting location 3 mins away from Riad (not possible to have direct pick up as riad in medina), Hassan gave is local info on the way there and was clear in his Comms re collection time at the different locations. Highly recommend, there were 9 of us on the tour so small enough to not feel too crowded but large enough to make friends! Thanks Hassan!

Great excursion - Pick up on time at the agreed location. Great driver & info from Hassan. An additional 10 euros for each site guide, Moh at Meknes & Rashid at Volubilis. Well worth the fee as much useful & interesting information at a sensible pace. An hour for lunch at a very reasonable & super restaurant. A great day all round. Many thanks.
