Good trip and excellent explanations. - We had a great time visiting Meknes with the guide Rashid and his good, detailed explanations about the city and its culture.
The driver, Hasan, was very kind in taking us from one place to another and giving us explanations about the places we were passing by. Thank you all very much.

A worthwhile tour! - A pleasant and informative Volubilis, Moulay Idriss, and Meknès trip!!
The driver, Hassan, was attentive and made sure everyone enjoyed the trip. Pick up and drop off were also smooth. Time spent at each stop was just right. A small group in the tour so I appreciated it was not crowded. The ambience was also good. Comfortable bus.
I recommend this tour package and the driver!!

Perfect day. - Excellent day spent with Hassan. He was punctual and professional throughout the trip. On the road, he shared many interesting pieces of information during the journey to Meknès.
He then dropped us off at a very good restaurant, and after the meal, the guide joined us for a walking tour of the city. Abdou shared information about his city as well as his passion for this place.
I highly recommend this excursion without hesitation.

Very solid trip. - We didn't need a guide in Volubis, just read Wikipedia and walk around reading the signs. It's pretty self-explanatory. Hassan was very accommodating to the small children (ages 4 and 6) and blind woman in our group. He arranged for a disability ticket at each stop and drove part of the way not usually driven to decrease the walking. He also gave his hat to a child to wear in the sun. He called everyone by name, jumped in and took photos, reminded everyone to buckle up and offered a hand while exiting the vehicle. The van needed better A/C, but we were fine.
