A memorable day - The guides were very competent, pleasant and we were able to discover part of the history of Meknes and Volubilis thanks to their very extensive knowledge. Special mention to our driver Hassan, who in addition to being an excellent driver and a very friendly person, did not hesitate to come back the next day to drop us a forgotten hat in the minibus. Thank you 🙏

Very nice day - Very nice day spent with Hassan where we could visit beautiful things! We didn't think Friday was a holiday here. But otherwise everything was great! Hassan is a good pilot and a good companion!

Great Trip - Many thanks to Desert Tours and especially to tour guide Hachem and our excellent bus driver Youmes, for providing the wonderful experience I enjoyed on the 1 day tour to Meknes and Volubilis. Derest Tours are a great online booking company and were very punctual with pick up at hotel in Fes. I highly recommend this company. Thanks again Hachem and Youmes. Mary Keane, Ireland.

A great, well-organized... - A great, well-organized experience! We had a friendly and knowledgeable driver who was accommodating to language needs of our group (from four different countries). The day was very well planned and incorporated fantastic local tour guides for Volubilis and Meknes. We had some alterations for Ramadan but felt like we still had a thorough experience.

A great way to see the Volubilis and Meknes in one day - We had a great day trip to Volubilis and Meknes. Along the way there were 2 additional short stops for panoramic views of the area and 1 stop in Moulay Idriss Zerhoun. We got the non-guided option for the day and that worked well for us. We had 1 hour and 15 minutes to explore the Volubilis. The site is quite big so it was enough time to explore and see all the main sites, but could have walked around more. In Meknes, we had 3 hours to explore. We found our own lunch spot in town and then walked through the Medina. We had researched ahead of time what parts of the Medina we were interested in. After that we visited the Dar Jamai Museum. The museum showcases music and instruments from the various regions of Morocco. It was in a beautiful building and the exhibits were very well done. After that we rejoined the main group and were able to explore the Mausoleum of Moulay Ismail before heading back to Fes. The driver was very nice and gave additional facts as he drove in both French and English. The bus was comfortable, but got a little hot in the afternoon. We were gone from 9:20 - 19:00 so it was a very full day.

Trip to Meknes from Fes - Our driver Hassan was really good. He explained many curiosities about Morocco by answering our questions and being extremely professional and kind. Unfortunately being Friday all the shops in the medina were closed and there was nothing to do in Meknes. I recommend the experience but possibly not on a Friday. Congratulations again on Hassan.

Average - It was very average overall. Edris the guide inside the bus, claimed to know everything and everywhere but instead of giving information about the city, and country was joking with people! Mecknes was an average place to visit. It was not worth it. But the Roman ruins was interesting, however the guide was so bad. He was walking and talking so fast and everyone else should catch him and get close to him so we could hear him. He was in rush.
