The tour operator was professional and communicative - we knew the night before that our driver would be Abdul and when he’d be at our Riad.
Abdul was lovely, professional, and kind. When we stopped by a vista, he went and got us figs. He gave an overview of the history of where we were - which was crucial for a short stop in Moulay Idriss where there isn’t signage, and had set us up with guides in Volubilis and Meknes (who were both knowledgeable - we’d done a bit of reading ahead of time and the guides knew their stuff - no dubious claims or false info). When we ran out of dirhams because we didn’t prepare correctly, he fronted us some cash to pay for incidentals. Of course we paid him back at the end - but his preparedness ensured that we had the best day possible. He was fantastic.
The sites themselves were incredible and we encourage folks to pay for a guide in Meknes (you’ll cover more ground and get more out of your visit).
Overall, a really lovely day and we learned a ton. Really recommend this tour if you have a couple of days in Fez and want to see some of the surrounding history.
