          Well spent day at Chefchaouen
          Seeing the blue city of Morocco was a dream. The small alleys with shops selling local products was a sight to behold along with the various shades of blue houses. Our bus driver Hussaini was a wonderful guy and was meticulous in driving the 3.5 hours trip each way. I would highly rate his services, both as a driver and a guide.

          There and back again: a Chefchaouen story
          For the price you are getting a very nice vehicle and driver (we had Abdul who was very nice and spoke good English). If you are expecting more than a pick up, drop off and return transfer then this may not be the tour for you as there were no personalised guiding experience for instance but this wasn’t what we were looking for anyway and for the price it delivers on the promise of getting you there and back in comfort and with plenty of time for self exploration.

          Great transportation
          Abdul was a good driver. He was prompt and got us between the cities efficiently. He spoke good English. The car was comfortable, however one nit is that I wish the air conditioning in the cabin was stronger. As a solo traveler this was a great experience to be able to share a ride others (however, I could not find a way to purchase only one ticket through TripAdvisor, I had to buy two.)

          Tarik’s a star!
          Really good experience. Tarik our driver was a star - great English, super informative about Moroccan culture and very safe. The drive itself is long but the rural views were a nice change from the Medina. Superb value :)

          Great drivers, great city
          The round trip from Fez to Chefchaouen went exactly to plan. The tour departed from Fez at around 8am and lasted around 3.5 hours, with three stops, including a 20-minute stop at a service area. We had approximately 4.5 hours free to explore the medina of Chefchaouen, which was more than enough time to wander the streets and have lunch. We returned at 5pm, arriving back in Fez at around 9pm. Our driver, Badr, was exceptional. His driving was impeccable, always careful on the road and attentive to speed. What's more, he was very friendly and helpful, responding promptly to any request from the group. The price was very fair, considering the distance covered (around 400 km round trip). Thank you, Badr! You're amazing.

          Best trip!
          We had the best experience with Otmane. We did 2 days and one night in the Sahara. We 100% recommended doing this trip private with Otmane, he was super kind, helpful and patient with us. He was on time to pick us up and got us to the desert as quick as he could while still making stops to have us eat and see sights. Everything was amazing, and you are looking to book we recommend Otmane !

          An awesome day trip! It's a four hour drive from Fes to Chefchaouen and four hours back with stops when needed, but worth it for spending time in one of the most beautiful cities I've visited. We were given four hours to independently explore the city, which had a quiet, relaxed atmosphere. Despite some hills and the warm sun, the city's Medina (old town) was easy to walk around and looks amazing!

          Outgoing guides and exciting places
          Had an awesome time doing 3 of the tours with this group. I booked with Zouhir and he was awesome. They pick you up from your hotel in the morning and bring you to a restaurant with complimentary drinks while you wait. They match your language with the driver’s. Big shout out to Otman and Simoné who were some super fun guides I had.

          Momo is very sweet and funny. He picks you up and drops you off wherever you need. We went to the Merzouga Desert and the ride was very smooth.

          Amazing Trip to the desert!
          What an amazing trip it was with the driver Imad tr. to the dessert. He made sure we were safe, explained everything on the road. Checked in with the passengers and granted our wishes for more bathroom breaks etc. Definitely recommend this trip and driver.

          Safe and fun trip with Imad14
          Imad14 was a wonderful driver, he drove us efficiently and safely the whole time. I liked that we didn't stop all the time for random reasons, but still had bathroom breaks etc. 4 hours in Chefchaouen was more than enough for exploring and taking pictures! Thanks again to Imad14 for getting us back safely and making it such a relaxing and pleasant ride.

          Trip to Chefchaouen
          The trip was excellent. Mohsin and his team were very nice and punctual. Also very considerate. Mohsin explained us about the places where we stopped and the traditions of people in the area of Morocco through the year. I would defintely recommend it and if I come back, I would also take another tour operated by this company.

        We used as a transfer to Meknes whilst taking in volubilis (didn’t return to Fes) and it worked very well for us.
        Moulay Idris was a something and nothing 25 minute stop with no real highlights.
        Volubilis was fascinating with good information boards so no need to get a guide.
        Meknes was under renovation so limited in terms of what you can see ( not your company issue)
        Lunch was at restaurant in Meknes at ~2.00 - ok but fixed 3 course menus whereas we’d prefer to choose.

        A very nice visit! The excursion allows you to visit 3 very beautiful typical towns of Morocco. Don't hesitate to hire local guides in Molay Idrisse and Meknes so you don't miss anything. It's around 100dr per group. Entrance to Volubilis is 70dr per person but it's definitely worth it! And Samir our driver is really great! Listening to travelers, he does everything to ensure that the excursion goes as smoothly as possible. Good atmosphere guaranteed! I recommend.

        Otmane was a very friendly and engaging driver! He took a small group of us from Fes to Volubilis, then to see views of Moulay Idriss, and finally to Meknes. Although this was primarily transportation and not a guided tour, Otmane switched easily between English and French to accommodate everyone in the group, and he carefully explained many cultural points about Morocco. A very reasonable price for a full day of transportation to the sites. Note that in Meknes several important attractions such as the gates are under construction as of summer 2022.

        The tour started delayed because the person who picked us up came later than arranged. Then there was no stop in Mounay Idriss. We just drove through instead of walking around there for one hour. If that would not be enough the driver took us to a very expensive restaurant even though nobody wanted to eat there.
        Also he gave us almost no time in Meknes for exploring the Medina.
        Sadly he couldn’t speak English, we think for a tour like this it is not acceptable. The price is not proportional to the tour. It was a desaster. We can not recommend.

        Really bad experience, save for the amazing places we visited.

        Remember: this is not a tour! The company pays a driver to show you the places. In our case he barely spoke English, sometimes I had to translate from French so the whole group could understand.

        Driver took us to an expensive restaurant without explanation or discussion, so the whole group agreed to leave and eat somewhere else. We didn't even stop at Moulay Idriss, just drove by. Meknes and Volubilis are great places and if you don't have any other way of going I'd still recommend it. Just lower your expectations to the lowest possible setting, and discuss the lunch options amongst the group so you don't get scammed.

        It is true that the service includes a professional driver, but he only spoke Arabic. Therefore, we expected a PROFESSIONAL guide who would speak to us in English or French (as indicated in the description), but we found a hateful and despotic woman who was also getting to know the city and was as lost as us or more. It should be noted that the driver was kind and helped us as much as he could, but clearly not speaking languages made it very difficult for us, and that role actually did not correspond to him but to the guide.
        Most of the buildings in Meknes were under restoration, I understand that this does not depend on the tour, but they should provide that information to tourists, so that they do not expect to see the city and then be surprised that it is all under construction. But hey, given what the guide was like, this lack of information even seemed normal to us.
        They clearly indicate “feel free to enjoy a lunch break (at your own expense)”, but they took us to the places that the lady guide thought also according to her own time, without respecting the opinion of any of us. We lost a lot of time due to the lady's lateness and then at mealtime, which she also decided. Later, for these same reasons, he argued with a tourist who did not speak French and she began to insult him in this language, literally calling him “conard” in front of all the customers. Guide without any sense of ethics or professionalism, which made our experience terrible.

        The tour was okay from a global view, but there were unfair parts.
        Our driver was nice and speaks in many languages, arrived on time, picked everybody up at our hotels/riads. But he didn’t keep the offered times, for example instead of 1 hour we had 15 min, or in Meknes instead of 4, only 2,5, he was hurry to get back. He took us to an arranged restaurant, what was full of tourists from trips like this - not a surprise. We skiped that.
        Moulay Idriss was nothing interesting, but the other 2 were amazing, I highly recommend them!
        The car was comfortable, but the A/C was the window in 30 degrees.
        We enjoyed the tour, it was worth to buy it - except for a few small irritating things.

        Whe went on a full day trip the ancient city of Meknes with stops at some Roman ruins and a hillside village.
        We had 4 hours at Meknes But the ancient city was closed because it was a Friday. This was the equivalent of going on a trip to London zoo I’m being told to sit outside for four hours because the zoo is closed. We spent 1 1/2 hours having lunch and then 2 1/2 hours sat on a bench waiting to be picked up. The tour guilds were fully aware the The ancient walled city was closed.

        Be careful, very touristy excursion
        Not local at all
        The restaurant recommended by the guide (the Selma Palace) is inedible and offers a special tourist menu… the food is abject.
        When we spoke to the guide about it, he completely changed his behavior and we continued the visit to Meknes without further explanation and to partner places of the restaurant
        It’s a real shame because Mohamed was otherwise very pleasant.
        Finally, a taxi which initially refuses to turn on the air conditioning, which ends up accepting after insistence…

        Beautiful day with Tarik our guide and Aziz our driver. The ruins of Volubilis are impressive and moving, the small villages constituting Moulay Idriss, clinging to the mountains, are authentic and traditional. Finally, Meknes, even if not very alive on a Friday, remains interesting, very different from Fes.
        Tarik tells his country with passion, never stingy explanations and ensures an excellent atmosphere throughout the day.
        Following the requests of the group, we ended with an olive oil cooperative and the purchase of local wine 🙂
