Chefchaouen and Volubilis/Meknes - We went on a group tour to Chefchaouen. Everything went smooth. Yassine gave us plenty of info on the road. We made a quick stop at a panorama with a... read more view over a lake, a bathroom and coffee break, and finally a quick stop with a panorama over Chechaouen before entering the city. When returning, my girlfriend had left her glasses in the minibus. Fortunately, Yassine was kind enough to deliver them himself to our riad the following day.
We also went on a private Volubilis and Meknes trip. Othman was a good driver, who spoke English very well and occasionally gave info and took us to the necessary places to visit. Volubilis is very much worth the visit, it's a beautiful place in its own right and thus is combined with beautiful views. We were subsequently taken to Moulay Idriss. As we could not enter the mausoleum, we decided to only stay a few minutes in the town before going to Meknes. Meknes however is under major renovations and the main places to see are covered or hidden behind construction sites. One small remark is that we were told we'd be back in Fez at 16h, which would've only be possible if we hadn't had lunch. 18h is a more reliable estimate to get back.

Driver was first class and the vehicle was brand new. Travelled first to Volubilis which as expected was fascinating. Well worth the visit. Then drove to Moulay Idriss Zerhoun which... read more is a lovely little town built across two hills. Quite stunning as you approach it. Drove through the narrow streets. After that drove to Mekness where our driver/guide took us to a local restaurant for lunch. It was very good. Had time for a wander round some of Mekness but many of the major attractions were under renovation. It is good to see that money is being spent on such major refurbishment. We enjoyed our day trip and would recommend Morocco Fez Tours.

Great Driver - Othman - Othman was our personal driver for 11 days travelling through Casablanca, Rabat, Tangier, Chefchaouen, Fez and Marrakech. Othman was very professional, courteous and openly shared his knowledge of the Moroccan... read more culture and landscape. Othman’s English was very good and he had a great sense of humour. We felt very safe in Othman’s care and his ability to get us to the sites in each location without issue amazed us - Moroccan cities and the médinas are not easy to navigate. Our last day with Othman was quite sad for us as we said our goodbyes - we had A really warm relationship and he added so much to the local experience. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.
