About this experience
Our day’s excursion to 2,000 years in the past starts at 9 o’clock from your hotel in Fez when we drive across the Saiss Plain to the wonderful Roman ruins at Volubilis, the Volubilis of really ancient olive presses, mansions, incredible mosaics, monumental arches and Corinthian columns where you’ll have a real sense of Roman lifestyle and of that of a subsequent medieval Berber town. The site contains the Mansion containing the mosaic of the Labors of Hercules, the Baths of Gallienus and Baths of Forum with their fragmentary mosaics; the House of Orpheus and its Dolphin mosaic and Orpheus Myth; the Cortege of Venus many of whose mosaics we may only see from the outside yet will get to see the medallions of Bacchus, Diana and the Abduction of Hylas; the Gordian Palace with its bath house and pooled courtyards; the House of the Wild Beast, the House of Nymphs, the House of the Seasons, the House of Flavius Germanus, the Knight’s House with an incomplete mosaic of Dionysus

Very nice day!
We had a delightful day, well organized. Our driver was charming, attentive, and interesting. He first drove us to Volubilis to avoid the intense heat at that site, then to Meknès. We ended, at our request, with a stunning view of Fes from the Merinid tombs. Thank you, Mustapha!

A five star day tour. Thank you!
My family of four had an excellent day with our driver El Mahdi. The car was very comfortable, El Mahdi explained our itinerary well. We visited Volubilis, Moulay Idriss and Meknes. We were able to spend as long as we wanted in each place with no hurry. El Mahdi even changed the route home to accommodate our request to see Bab El Khemis. It was an excellent day and a wonderful way to see lots of beautiful sights.

A wonderful experience.
The trip was beautiful and the best part of the trip was our driver/guide/teacher, Mehdi Uzenti. If you're going to make an adventure near Fez, you have to look for Mehdi. Merçi beaucuop, Mehdi and shukran katheeran.

A fun day out
Volublis, Meknes and the sights en route are well worth your time. Rachid was a great driver in a nice car with a friendly, calm demeanor and helpful insights along the way

Unforgettable experience
Many thanks for these excursions! Our driver, Mehdi, was simply great! Always smiling, careful and remarkably kind. He was able to put us in confidence thanks to his impeccable driving, which allowed us to fully enjoy the excursions without any stress. Thanks to him the 8h drive to Chefchaouen was much more bearable and pleasant. We will be back with pleasure

Why this scores 67
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Day trip from Fez to Volubilis and Meknes: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Fez.
How much does Day trip from Fez to Volubilis and Meknes cost?
+
Prices start at $71 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Fez usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Day trip from Fez to Volubilis and Meknes take?
+
Plan for about 6 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Fez is not rushed.
Is Day trip from Fez to Volubilis and Meknes worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 67 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 11 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Fez, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Day trip from Fez to Volubilis and Meknes?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Day trip from Fez to Volubilis and Meknes suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Day trip from Fez to Volubilis and Meknes?
+
Around 4 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Fez can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Fez and add a light layer if any part of the 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Day trip from Fez to Volubilis and Meknes start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Fez within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Fez?
+
On Outty we rank every Fez experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Day Trip to Chefchaouen from Fez ( instagram /Photos ), Fes to Marrakech: Merzouga & Ait Ben Haddou, 3 Days 2 Nights, 2 Days Desert Tour from Fes to Fes/Marrakech via Erg Chebbi. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Fez?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Fez?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
