Amazing trip to Morocco.

We had an awesome trip to Morocco. Kimkim made planning very easy and they easily accommodated some complications including last minute changes. Our driver, Saad, was really great. We spent 112 days traveling all over the country and by the end he was like a member of our family. We learned so much from him and had a lot of fun with him. Overall, our Morocco trip was an amazing experience.

The walking tour of the medina in Marrakesh with Siad was a perfect start off with discussions of local customs and history. The hike up Mt. Toubkul with Youssef was extraordinary, and a great look into Berber life in the mountains. My personal favorite was the time in the Saraha (camels, Nomads, ATVs.....awesome) and finishing it up on the ocean in Essaouira was a perfect finish. All of the riads/hotels were exquisite, the food incredible and the people, amazing. If you are even a little hesitant about travelling in a new country I cannot recommend KimKim enough - I will DEFINATELY be using them again.
