Moha 5 stars! - Pick up 2 steps from the riad. Very pleasant driver and able to speak French and Spanish. Very friendly and communicating.
The visit of Meknes with the guide was very rewarding and saved us from being docked several times.
Very good quality/performance ratio.
Recommend without hesitation

It's worth it. Do it. - There is no guide included for Volubilis but there are guides in the entrance that can be hired (I recommend to group cheaply). Menkes' guide is pretty good. At Menkes I recommend trying olives and virgin oil. Very friendly driver and passenger.

Wonderful visit of Meknes - The highlight of the day was the visit of Meknes with a local guide, the city has a number of interesting sights and it felt much more relaxed and pleasant than nearby Fez. Volubilis was for us a bit of a let down, the site is large but the lack of information and directions made our visit very superficial. The lunch place in Meknes was surprisingly good.
