Volubilis is an ancient Roman-era ruin. There was moderately heavy rain & wind during the tour, but it didn't detract from my enjoyment. With Meknes, normally I like to explore on my own, but in this case, we received too little background on where to go. I ended up retracing the path our van took, and minimal time in the town. One of the other guests hired a local guide, and maybe I should have joined.

Everything was ok. The driver was super talkative and friendly, he was on time and efficient on giving us the best guide in Volubilis and Meknes. It has been a bit confusing to speak four languages all mixed up but it seems to be a common Moroccan style to speak with tourists.

We really liked this tour as it was not too far from Fez. It was really interesting but definitely choose the option to include the guide. You will get a guide for Volubilis and another one for Meknes. If you don't, you will have to pay for a guide over there, so it might be mkre complicated. We wouldn't have learned about a lot of things if we didn't have a guide. Definitely recommend it!
