Questa è stata la seconda attività che ho fatto con Medina Tours. L'escursione è iniziata con il mio pickup puntualissimo direttamente al mio Riad a Fes. Aladino, l'autista, è stato un accompagnatore cordiale, di piacevole conversazione (parla benissimo l'italiano) per tutta la giornata. Sia a Volubilis sia a Meknes avevano già organizzato il mio giro con una guida accreditata locale. A Meknes Said è stato più che una guida un insegnante: di storia, di architettura, di religione. Persona di spiccata intelligenza e simpatia. Consiglio assolutamente Medina Tours e il suo fondatore Mohammed per organizzare tour in Marocco, non solo nella zona di Fes.

Volubiis is amazing! We spent 2 hours there, but could have stayed there twice as long. Lots of signs to explain things, so guide probably not necessary. Rest of trip a little hitand-miss. Passed an ancient Muslim villagem but non Muslims aren't allowed o enter, so we missed a couple of hings we'd hoped o see. When we got back to Fes, we contacted the man who runs the how in Fes and he showed up personally to meet with us and try to set hings right. He ended up providing a ride to and from the centre of LaVille Nouvlle for us and on the wy back mad acouple detours to show us something we hadn't seen before. This guy bent over backwards to keep his clients happy.

Hi Cham drove us to Meknès and was happy to stop when we wanted to take photos or to look at scenery. I was eager to see how the olives are harvested and he managed to arrange that experience for me with local workers in the fields. With Hi Chan’s knowledge of Moulay Idriss, we enjoyed a fabulous meal - our favorite in Morocco.

The one day trip to Meknes and Volubilis was a wonderful experience, worth both the time and the travel. Our driver Omar Zaaza was amazing, he was open to help us both with the timetables we requested and the restaurants we wanted to go to. He kept us very good company, explained everything about the countryside, took photos of us and also he came to pick us up in the Riad, inside the Medina, helping us with the orientation. Thank you again Omar

Our driver was Amin. He was kind and professional, he took us everywhere and gave us some information of the places we were visiting. He let us stay in every place as long as we wanted. On the way back to Fez he even took us to see the Royal Palace because he knew we hadn't seen yet. I have to say that it is an expensive service (it'd be much cheaper if you rented a car), but on the other hand is quite convenient and you don't waste any time.

Excursión muy recomendable. Paisajes sorprendentes, experiencia inolvidable. Hicimos tres excursiones de día completo con Youseff, hace que además de todo lo anterior la excursión sea muy divertida e interesante por sus comentarios y conocimiento de las zonas que se visitan, sus consejos cuando tienes tiempo para pasear son para tenerlos muy en cuenta. Gracias Youseff.

My boyfriend and I took the day trip to Volubilis, Moulay Idriss, and Meknes with medina tours. While we were disappointed with the quality of our tour guide and explored most of the sites on our own, upon our return, Mohammed, the manager was extremely apologetic, receptive to our feedback and rectified the situation with professionalism.

ho prenotato una visita di 3 giorni a Fez con Medina tours. Premetto che eravamo un gruppo di 6 persone e volevamo vedere qualcosa di "particolare e fatto su misura". Mohamed ci è stato di grande aiuto, ci ha coccolati dall'inizio del viaggio sino alla fine. abbiamo avuto assistenza sotto tutti i punti di vista a partire dall'autista che ci ha condotto in giro per i vari siti e città visitate con una pazienza e cortesia smisurata fermandosi a ogni nostra richiesta per poter fare fotografie per arrivare poi alle guide che trovavamo sul posto sempre molto disponibili ma soprattutto preparate. Una nota di merito va alla guida di Meknes che ci ha raccontato chicche sulla città ma soprattutto sprazzi di vita quotidiana. Bravo Mohamed il prossimo viaggio sarà con te nel deserto
