Volubilis is the remnant of a Roman city built on the former site of a Punic-Berber city, which was the capital of the kingdom of Mauretania, located in the Saïss plain, in northern Morocco, on the edge of the wadi Rhoumane, a river in the suburbs of Meknes. It is one of the UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
Moulay Driss Zerhoun It is famous for being the site of the tomb of Idris I, the first great Islamic ruler of Morocco, after whom the city is named.
Meknes is a city in northern Morocco. It is known for its imperial past, with vestiges like Bab Mansour, a huge gate with arches and mosaics. The gate leads to the old imperial city. The mausoleum of Sultan Moulay Ismail, who made the city his capital in the 17th century, has courtyards and fountains. Take your time to have a good lunch.

We had a great time with Sufyan as our driver. He was friendly and knowledgeable. He was flexible and gave us the time to visit at our pace. He drove very safely. He was on time. We would recommend Sufyan without hesitation. The agency also communicated very well with us and catered to our needs for this visit.
Hischam was flexible and responsive. He made sure we saw all major spots for one day. The whole ride was comfortable and relaxing.
Our private excursion to Volubilis, Meknes, and Moulay Idriss from Fez was absolutely fantastic! Our driver was incredibly knowledgeable, kind, and accommodating throughout the entire trip. He was easy to talk to, making the journey enjoyable and comfortable. His friendly demeanor and helpful nature truly stood out, and we felt completely at ease the whole time. We were so impressed with his service that we even hired him to take us to Casablanca the following day — that's how confident we were in his reliability and professionalism. If you're looking for a stress-free, informative, and enjoyable excursion, I highly recommend this experience. It truly exceeded our expectations!
Despite some periodic heavy rain, this was a great trip. Badr was an excellent driver who made sure that I understood the ins and outs of visiting the Volubilis ruins, the village of Moulay Idriss, and the city of Meknes. Badr was well-versed in English, and an engaging conversationalist. The highlights of the trip for me were the vast and picturesque ruins of Volubilis, and the gorgeous mausoleum of Moulay Isma’il in Meknes. A thoroughly interesting and enjoyable excursion.
Fantastic tour with the best driver. Very helpful and flexible for whatever we wanted to do along the way. Thank you so much.
Our driver, Sufyan, maintained great communication throughout the trip and provided valuable insight friendly to tourists. The ride was comfortable and spacious.
Mohamed was an excellent driver and guide. He was very professional and friendly. He introduced us to many new experiences and had a a lot of knowledge on current morrocan affairs. He was caring and always looked out for dad and me. We spent a lovely day travelling around with Mohamed. Thank you for your hospitality and your kind nature. Catriona and Neil.
Badr was amazing. Recommended places for us to eat for authentic food in Fes and made sure we knew where to go, even after our tour was over. Honest broker. Anything you want to do in Morocco, he can make it happen.
5 star tour. All the guides were phenomenal, with deep knowledge, punctual, and outstanding friendliness and professionalism, always attentive to our needs. I highly recommend this tour, a safe, professional and friendly way to get to know the locals. One of the best guides we've ever had the chance to meet. Thanks!
It was a nice trip to see many different places in one go. We had good guides explaining the background of history, architecture, culture and the life. Also we were dropped of on a Restaurant in Meknes where you got a 3-course menu for fair price.
Jawad is a very good driver and very pleasant. His French is very good and he is very helpful. Rachid our guide in Meknes made us visit magnificent sites and he was very precise in his answers and in 3 languages. He took the time. After Volubilis in the morning, the day was very very good with the visit of a mausoleum mosque… unique to go there. To advise without hesitation to understand the culture of Morocco and its history.
Very good day supervised by Karim and his driver. Very interesting and secure. The meal was very good in Meknes and the course of the day as well. We highly recommend
This was an exceptional trip. Our guide Humaima and Driver Moha were absolutely awesome. Our pick-up was on time, the drive was comfortable, the breaks were well-planned. Humaima was very knowledgeable and articulate, and gave very good insights about the places visited. Her way of explaining was very good and easy to follow. She also was aware of our country and culture, which was a nice surprise. The local guides they work with were also very knowledgeable and provided good insights to the places visited.
We had a great tour of both Volubilis and Meknes. Our driver arranged for two separate guides and they were both excellent. Both sites are worth seeing. Volubilis is extremely well preserved as Roman cities go. Meknes has interesting history and is one of the imperial cities.
was an enriching journey through history and culture. Exploring the ancient Roman ruins in Volubilis, walking the charming streets of Meknes, and experiencing the spiritual ambiance of Moulay Idriss left us in awe. The personalized attention and in-depth knowledge shared by our guide added immense value to the experience. This excursion was a window into Morocco's rich heritage, and we couldn't have asked for a better way to delve into the country's past. Highly recommended for anyone looking to combine history and adventure in a single day.
An exceptional private excursion to Volubilis, Meknes, and Moulay Idriss from Fez. The guide's expertise and personalized experience brought the history and culture to life. Highly recommended
Our first-time visit to Morocco was made even more memorable by the private excursion to Volubilis, Meknes, and Moulay Idriss from Fez. The experience was a perfect blend of historical exploration and authentic cultural immersion, thanks to our exceptional knowledgeable guide. who provided us with a comprehensive understanding of the rich history and cultural significance of these sites.
Such a wonderful trip with this amazing person Badr who show us and the beauty of Meknes and fes Amazing 👏
Great day out from Fez! The ruins of Volubilis were incredible and well worth a visit. Thami was amazing, very relaxed about timings, he made sure we had a good time. Really skillful driver as well 😊 thank you very much again
After a very fun trip with Badr to Chefchaouen, we instantly booked this trip for the next day. The trip was perfectly planned. We stopped at several gorgeous panoramic views. Badr also gave us a perfect recommendation for a restaurant. Really worth doing this trip with him!
We arranged a pickup at our hotel which wasn't on the original booking list but that was no problem. Our driver was on time and was a great person to spend the day with. The car was pristine and he was an excellent driver, we always felt safe even though you clearly need some hustle to get through some of the towns and busier areas. We had all the time we needed to visit the sights on the way, we never felt rushed. Volubilis was definitely the highlight, amazing place. We didn't think too much of Moulay Idriss though it was an easy place to stop and look around. We had a nice lunch in Meknes, slightly annoying we were given the 'tourist menu' which was pretty limited and we saw other tables having more interesting options (nothing to do with this tour though!). We had time for a wander around Meknes then back to Fez, our driver was happy to drive us to the tombs for a great view of Fez but we'd already been the day before. We were impressed with the day, recommended.
Originally I booked this tour through another platform but because of the pandemic, they reached out and requested us to cancel that booking which was also fully refunded. They then suggested that I can make a separate private tour instead, which surprisingly is affordable. Pedro (Badr) met us at our Riad and gave us an amazing day all over the Imperial Cities. He is a local of the area and he is very knowledgable and an expert of what to and where to. We liked how we navigated going from Fes to Volubilis with a stop at Sidi Chahed for a very nice photo op, then proceeded to Moulay Idriss with another stop with an awesome panoramic view of the whole city, which is breathtaking Then we head to Meknes. Unfortunately, due to the pandemic, some of the tourist sites were closed but still, we were able to have a good time as Pedro shared stories and interesting quirks that only a local would know. Lastly, though not part of the program, Pedro generously accommodated extra locations like stopping at a Carrefour to stock some Cabernet & Absoluts, and he took us to the leather tannery. We were so happy with how professional Pedro is, as a guide and he is a very careful and safe driver too. We then made an additional booking for the Fes Old Medina Walking Tour for the next day. I highly recommend Pedro and would love to have him as a guide again if ever I return to Fes.
I learned about Pedro from my Médina tour guide and I’m happy I did! He took me from Fes to Volubilis where I got to tour amazing Roman architecture, then we went to Meknès where he introduced me to his friend who toured me around! I had such a good time that I decided to book another tour with him the next day. On day two I did a shorter tour because I had a flight in the afternoon. He drove me around Fes to many different locations including the Jewish Quarters, the Royal Palace and multiple sights overlooking the city! I had a fantastic time on both days! If you’re looking for a day trip in the Fes area Pedro is your guy!
Back to my mom’s childhood lands for this excursion on Meknes. Emotional day and it was possible and wonderful thanks to Mohamed because he took us to all the places desired by my mom. We also had plenty of explanations and tips to spend a very pleasant day. A thousand thanks Mohamed!
Very nice day with Badr who gave us a lot of information along the way and for the visits of Volubilis and Meknes. Thank you Badr for your kindness and professionalism.
We had a great day trip with Sufyan. The car was very comfortable, I am a big template and I never imagined having so much room to extend the legs. During our trips, Sufyan shared with us his great knowledge and love of Morocco. In addition to being a very good driver, he has always been very kind, very patient with us. We've always felt very safe. We highly recommend you to live this day with Sufyan!
Very nice excursion. Well coordinated and super interesting tours. Friendly and very knowledgeable guides. We will strongly order again!!
Excellent services from Badr our driver. Very friendly, punctual, helpful, nothing but positives! He came to pick us up as close as possible to our Riad for an excursion from Fez to Volubilis and Meknes for the day which was well planned by Badr who speaks very good French. Very clean car and water available for the journey. We recommend this agency without hesitation. Anaïs and Arnaud
The guide and driver arrived at the pick-up point for our accommodation very punctual. They were very attentive throughout the trip, they gave us directions, we made stops at different points... it was a very nice day. 100% recommended
