top - Excellent services from Badr our driver. Very friendly, punctual, helpful, nothing but positives! He came to pick us up as close as possible to our Riad for an excursion from Fez to Volubilis and Meknes for the day which was well planned by Badr who speaks very good French.
Very clean car and water available for the journey.
We recommend this agency without hesitation.

It was a nice trip - It was a nice trip to see many different places in one go. We had good guides explaining the background of history, architecture, culture and the life. Also we were dropped of on a Restaurant in Meknes where you got a 3-course menu for fair price.

very pleasant - Jawad is a very good driver and very pleasant. His French is very good and he is very helpful. Rachid our guide in Meknes made us visit magnificent sites and he was very precise in his answers and in 3 languages. He took the time. After Volubilis in the morning, the day was very very good with the visit of a mausoleum mosque… unique to go there. To advise without hesitation to understand the culture of Morocco and its history.

Superb excursion - This was an exceptional trip. Our guide Humaima and Driver Moha were absolutely awesome. Our pick-up was on time, the drive was comfortable, the breaks were well-planned. Humaima was very knowledgeable and articulate, and gave very good insights about the places visited. Her way of explaining was very good and easy to follow. She also was aware of our country and culture, which was a nice surprise. The local guides they work with were also very knowledgeable and provided good insights to the places visited.

Excellent day tour of two sites outside of Fez - We had a great tour of both Volubilis and Meknes. Our driver arranged for two separate guides and they were both excellent. Both sites are worth seeing. Volubilis is extremely well preserved as Roman cities go. Meknes has interesting history and is one of the imperial cities.

enriching journey through history and culture - was an enriching journey through history and culture. Exploring the ancient Roman ruins in Volubilis, walking the charming streets of Meknes, and experiencing the spiritual ambiance of Moulay Idriss left us in awe. The personalized attention and in-depth knowledge shared by our guide added immense value to the experience. This excursion was a window into Morocco's rich heritage, and we couldn't have asked for a better way to delve into the country's past. Highly recommended for anyone looking to combine history and adventure in a single day.
