The ruins are quite interesting but there are some shortcomings. A lot of the description plaques are in poor condition and badly curled up. The pathways are generally rough and not well maintained…Full review by Adventurers049

We spent several hours exploring Volubilis on a recent visit to the area. We were impressed by the mosaics and the structures at the site. Unfortunately, the mosaics are not protected from the elemen…Full review by betteskid

Our tour guide handed us off to a local guide at Volubilis. There was no choice for our tour guide to do the tour. I don’t know for sure whether we had an option of doing the tour of Volubilis unescorted — my impression was that the local guide comes with the entry fee — but I would not recommend an unescorted visit in any event. The local guide, with his intimate knowledge of the site, greatly enhanced our experience, pointing out and explaining different aspects of the ruins and maximizing our time at Volubilis.

You'll park in the parking lot that's located next to the gift shop and entry way. You'll walk down a stairway and the museum is right there. You'll be approached by a local guide (the one who brought you there is not allowed into the ruins) , agree on a price and he/she will lead you to the ruins, just a short walk really. The ruins cover a large area but you can see a lot in about 2 hours. The ruins are on a hill so while you are viewing the ruins you'll have nice vistas in any direction. There are a number of helpful placards at particular spots that explain what you are looking at. I've been there twice; the second time the museum was greatly improved. You can easily spend an hour perusing just the museum.
HI How much should i pay for a driver to take us ( 2persons) to visit Volubilis from Meknes thank you
A:
It's 90 Dh for a shared taxi to Volubilis one way so get a few people together and split the cost. Otherwise it's a 7 Dh bus ride from Meknes bus station to Mulay Idris and an hours walk …
It's 90 Dh for a shared taxi to Volubilis one way so get a few people together and split the cost. Otherwise it's a 7 Dh bus ride from Meknes bus station to Mulay Idris and an hours walk from there. You could also pay 30 Dh for a shared taxi from Mulay Idris to Volubis one way again. Not sure how much for a driver to take you from Meknes to the site and stay for the return but taxis are often going around the area so catching one back is no problem.
