Best tour ever!
Mohammed is just the best guide ever. He is so funny, approachable, extremely careful with respect to our needs during the trip. He told us a lot of interesting thing about the cities we visited as well as about maroccaine culture. See you next time Margherita & Marta from Italy

Excellent excursion!
We have contacted Mohamed (who happened also to be our driver) the very evening before the intended excursion date and made the arrangements that included the same itinerary, but with an early start at 8:30 am and late return to Fes at 7:45 pm, in order to get more time for sightseeing. So, we have been able to spend about 3 hours in Volubilis, 30 minutes in Moulay Idriss and about 4,5 hours in Meknès (when planning the visit to Meknès be aware that several important monuments cannot be seen/visited because they are under reconstruction). The price was 120 EUR for 2 persons. The van was confortable and Mohamed was excellent driver - he never pressed us to hurry up with sightseeing.
Response from the operator: I thank you so much for your Nice comment Mohamed

Excursion privée d’une journée à Meknes volubilis et Moulay Idris: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Fez.
How does Excursion privée d’une journée à Meknes volubilis et Moulay Idris compare to similar tours in Fez?
+
It ranks #7 of the 7 similar experiences we compared in Fez, with an Outty Ranking of 72. Best for families and travelers who want a full-day outing.
Who is Excursion privée d’une journée à Meknes volubilis et Moulay Idris best for?
+
It suits families and travelers who want a full-day outing best, based on its 7-hour length, all-ages access and free cancellation up to 24 hours before.
How much does Excursion privée d’une journée à Meknes volubilis et Moulay Idris cost?
+
Prices start at €40 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 Excursion privée d’une journée à Meknes volubilis et Moulay Idris take?
+
Plan for about 7 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 Excursion privée d’une journée à Meknes volubilis et Moulay Idris worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 72 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 12 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 Excursion privée d’une journée à Meknes volubilis et Moulay Idris?
+
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 Excursion privée d’une journée à Meknes volubilis et Moulay Idris suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Excursion privée d’une journée à Meknes volubilis et Moulay Idris?
+
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 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Excursion privée d’une journée à Meknes volubilis et Moulay Idris 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 Fes to Marrakech: Merzouga & Ait Ben Haddou, 3 Days 2 Nights, Fes to Marrakech desert tour 3 days, 2Days groupe Tour Fes To Fes Or Marrakech Via Sahara Tour. 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.
