Very Nice Tour - The tour had a lot of driving, but the fields were very pretty with agriculture growing. The drive was broken up by rest stops and pretty views. We had Mustafa as our guide at Volubilis and he was a bit annoyed at us taking pictures and was upset when people did not listen to exactly what he was say. Overall though very informative. Then we went to Meknes and the restaurant had very good food, but was not included in the tour and a bit expensive. Amin was our guide and we went around the city. Not too too much to see, but there were some nice historical areas.

The visit to Volubilis was extremely... - <p>The visit to Volubilis was extremely interesting and well worth the trip.</p>
<p>As for Meknes, it was a little disappointing. It was during Ramadan and a lot of restaurants were closed. Our guide took us to a restaurant that was serving tourist. It was a good place to eat, however, after the meal, we were dragged into a neighbouring building to see how they did certain arts and we felt that we had no choice but to tip some person that took us there on the encouragement of the restaurateur. I felt that I waas being conned.</p>
