What people are saying about Meknes

It is a worthwhile trip, we enjoyed it very much. There are many days and hotels and transfers, local guides. I imagine it is very difficult to organize the logistics of all this. We just didn't like the first day's guide that just focused on taking us into stores to buy stuff and earn commissions. He didn't take a break for lunch, he didn't stop by the souks around Jemaa El Fna square and he also removed the Menara Garden from the itinerary on his own. I suspect he removed the Menara Garden as it is a public garden and he earns no commission from it. We had lunch at 4 pm and we were starving. Apart from that, the rest was very nice, we got to know many things even in Morocco and I can say that it was worth it. Hotels are good, everything functional. I would do it again and recommend it. Points for the Dino guide.

We really liked this tour as it was not too far from Fez. It was really interesting but definitely choose the option to include the guide. You will get a guide for Volubilis and another one for Meknes. If you don't, you will have to pay for a guide over there, so it might be mkre complicated. We wouldn't have learned about a lot of things if we didn't have a guide. Definitely recommend it!

It has been an amazing day! Since tour started until the end, it was such an amazing experience. The driver Tabi guided us making the day better. I was wondered because he explained using either French, English or Spanish. He took care of us and gave an extra mile. Both cities were amazing as well.
