I’m not going to say anything about Volubilis as a site since we had researched it beforehand and knew we wanted to visit it. Yes, it was as fascinating as we expected. But I’m so glad we chose this particular excursion. The thing about Omegatour private day trip to Volubilis and Meknes is that they offer total flexibility and are focused on the satisfaction of the client. For example, the stop at Volubilis was the most important to us. The driver told us to take as much time as we needed and just text him when we were ready to continue. We spent about 3 hours there. We also wanted to do an extra thing at the end of the tour and our driver immediately communicated with his manager Mostafa, and they were able to make it work for a reasonable extra. I am sure the shared tour is great too but you might be placed in a group with interests different than yours. This trip is also not one of those that will stop at shops known to the driver. In fact our driver said “you can’t mix culture with shopping”. Of course, you will have plenty of shopping opportunities at the Meknes Medina if that’s what you want. But you will be free to wonder and shop wherever you want and eat wherever you prefer. You can, of course, get recommendations but will not be taken to specific stops for that purpose. Our driver was Hicham. He modestly says that he speaks “a little English”. Don’t believe him. His English is great. He was very informative, very passionate about sharing his culture and very welcoming. After a while, without realizing it, I was feeling as if I was with family. Well, in fact by the end of the night, and thanks to Hicham, I was the brother of a dromedary…but that’s a story for another time.
