Highly Recommended - Nabil was our driver for a day trip from Fes to Volubilis and Meknes. He was a super friendly guy, enthusiastic and a careful driver. Nothing was a problem and he had no issue with us taking our time at the sites. He was happy to give us insights on things we were seeing on the road trip and we learned snippets of information about Moroccan culture - something only possible when you speak with a local! I would highly recommend him to independent travellers looking for a driver to help them see the sites.

All right. - A great day with the discovery of several cities, viewpoints, museums... NABIL is a very good driver who brings many explanations to the places he introduces us as well as anecdotes. He is very caring both with us and with our 2 1/2 year old son. Thanks to him

Reciprocity - Nabil, "The Best Guide of Morocco ! " We're not writers, but you know what they think of you. I think so do you. That is why I am calling my comment "reciprocity". Moreover the places visited were superb, the driving comfort extra, and the restaurant on top. Thank you for everything and we hope to see you soon. Thomas and Sylvie

A great day trip to Volubilis and Meknes! - Nabil drove me and my husband to Volubilis and Meknes on a day trip whilst we were in Fez. Nabil picked us up from the Medina and drove us to Volubilis which was great (and stopped off for photo opportunities on the way). Nabil then got us to Moulay Idriss for our reservation at Scorpion House. Afterwards we went to Meknes and saw the mausoleum and some local shops. We had a great day all in all - Nabil was super friendly, knowledgeable and helpful (the car was also comfortable!). See you next time, Nabil :) !

Nabil, the best driver in Fez (and perhaps Morocco!) - If you are looking for a reliable, warm and humorous driver, look no further: Nabil is the man for you! From the first minute, he put us at ease with his communicative smile and positive energy. He doesn’t just drive: he shares his love of Morocco, his knowledge of Fez and its surroundings, and above all, incredible anecdotes that turn every trip into a moment of discovery and good humor. Thanks to him, we explored the hidden treasures around Fez. Always attentive, he looked after us as if we were his own family, ensuring our comfort and well-being throughout the trip. And let’s talk about its humor: a real festival! Between jokes, typical expressions and surprising stories, it is impossible to be bored by his side. His stories are a perfect blend of culture, history and good humor. Finally, driving is great art: fluid, careful and always adapted to roads and sometimes chaotic traffic. With it, no stress, just fun enjoying the scenery and exchanges. In short, if you come to Fez, you can trust him with your eyes closed! Many thanks, Nabil, for these unforgettable moments and see you soon, inch’Allah!

Trip with Nabil! - Nabil was our driver for our day trip. He arrived on time to our riad to pick us up. Nabil was very kind and great energy to be around. We were able to ask him questions and he provided very helpful answers. He was able to accommodate our schedule and get us back to Fes on time for our flight. Definitely would recommend!

Very friendly, knowledgeable, safe. - Nabil was extremely friendly and made us feel very comfortable during our drive/tour. As 2 solo female travelers we are very hesitant about who we got in a car with especially for a long drive out of Fes but Nabil made us feel very safe the whole way. He had great recommendations and stops along the way and got us to our final destination, the airport, right on time. Thank you Nabil for making our last day in Morocco a very memorable one :)

We recommend Nabil, super driver - Nabil our driver drove us several times during our stay in Fez: transport from the Airport to the Riad, excursion to Volubilis and Meknes, walk around Fez... Nabil is very professional, friendly , caring and has a great sense of humor! His vehicle is spacious and very clean. Nabil has adapted to our pace and needs. He did not hesitate to make a small detour with our agreement to make us enjoy a beautiful view. Saying goodbye wasn't easy. She's a beautiful person to trust. We recommend it without hesitation!

Thank you Brahim! - Very nice excursions with Brahim Benfaras. Brahim is a guide/driver that we particularly recommend. We asked him a lot of questions and he answered them with patience and precision. His driving is very careful and the car comfortable. After a day in Volubilis, Moulay Idriss and Meknes, we asked him again for other discoveries in the Middle Atlas (Séfrou, Ifrane, Azrou...). We keep in touch for other possible stays in the area.

Great day trips with Fuma Tours - We had a wonderful day trip to Volubilis and Meknes with Fuma Tours. Our hotel/Riad arranged the trip and we had a lovely driver named Mostafa who took great care of us. He was an amazing driver and his personality was warm, kind and quick with a laugh. He was informative and indulged us with answers to all of our questions! We had such a great day with him that we scheduled another trip to the Mid Atlas Mountains with Mostafa and Fuma Tours! Thank you, Ursula and Jay
