We took an 11 day trip all over the country, starting in Marrakesh, and moving to essouaria, onto the Sahara in Merzouga and then up to Fes, before concluding in Chef Chaouen.

We had a terrific time with him, and felt lucky to have found someone that matched so well with the family. We traveled with our three kids, who are ages 16, 18, and 20 and they also enjoyed his sense of humor and positive attitude. Can’t say enough good things about him! The Sahara trip was really memorable and the accommodation (both the owner of the camp and the staff - yousef and mostafa in particular) were so kind and fun.

My trip to Morocco was wonderful; Hakim and the group of tour guides were incredible. I was able to cover a lot of ground quickly thanks to my wonderful driver Khalil.

If I could do it over again, I would change a few things. For one, I'd spend more time in Fes/Marrakech and make day trips to other locations (such as Chefchaouen and Volubilis). Rabat and Casablanca didn't have enough for a full day each, whereas more time could be spent exploring the older, more dynamic cities. I think a slightly longer trip would've been great to get used to the medinas a little bit more.

Hakim was excellent in setting everything up and for the most part I'm very happy with the quality of the accommodations and the guides on the trip. Everything went smoothly from day 1 and I am thankful for the help planning.

Good hotel outside the heart of the medina; easy to find and get to from the main sites. Staff was not as helpful as other places (didn't speak English as well, which isn't a problem for everyone) but was still good. The room itself was great, very spacious and had a great bathtub.

Hafid was an incredible guide. Took me everywhere I wanted to go (city walls, old palace, through the souks) and brought me to great shops to find what I was looking for. His English was great and the city itself is incredible - easily my highlight of the country. Have already recommended him to friends/family who are traveling to Morocco.

This was a disappointing experience, compared to the hammam I went to in Fes. I was largely left unattended and the woman who was doing the hammam felt disinterested in the process as a whole. For the price I would much rather organize a more authentic experience than a touristy place like this.

Volubilis was an absolutely stunning spot. A guide is not necessary if you're somewhat in tune with how Roman cities work, but a bit of research beforehand goes a long way towards understanding what you're seeing. Spending a few hours there is totally worth it as either a day trip from Fes or a place to visit on the way. I was excited for Meknes but everything is closed for renovation, so I don't really have much to add. But per usual, my driver Khalil was great and took me to a wonderful restaurant there.

Quality of Experience
If you like history and ancient ruins, this will be a nice treat and is very different from the rest of the country. Use Meknes as a lunch spot after a morning trip.

Even when we went off the itinerary, such as a trip to the Emergency Room one night, Hicham was there translating, comforting and making it all as easy as could be. It is hard to pick a favorite day or activity because we loved all of them. The visit to his family home in the Valley of Roses surpassed our imagination. Hicham's family and friends made us feel welcome and at home. In fact, all of the Moroccan people that we met could not have been more friendly. We are already planning our next Morocco trip!

We had an amazing trip with Original Travels in Morocco. They did a great job bouncing ideas back and forth until we found the perfect itinerary. In some cases I wish I actually listened to them more as their insights proved to be more accurate that what I had in mind!

I specifically wanted to shout out our local guide, Karim, who took us around the entire country. His English was great and he shared a lot of insights on the sights we were seeing as well as shared about his personal life and his experience growing up in Morocco.

Some highlights of the trip included our Riad in Marrakech, our cooking class in Fez, exploring the blue city, the Mosque in Casablanca, and the dessert experience in the Sahara Desert. They also did a great job breaking up what could have been a long time in the car.

A couple of things for improvement
- Sticking to the schedule more - for example one of our activities was scheduled on a particular day but we found out it was moved to the next day. When we pushed back, due to other things we had scheduled they were able to adjust.
- The local tour guides seemed to bring us to places that encouraged purchasing items more than an actual cultural experience (rose water, leather goods, carpets). No one was pushy but it was annoying after a while and in some cases prevented us from seeing the actual sights (took us to a leather shop that had a subpar view of the tanneries)
- Timing with the local guides was sometimes off. The guide would say the tour was 4.5 hours for example but it ended up being less.

We had a great experience working with Mohammed. He was really receptive to what we wanted, his answer time was so quick and he was always happy to make modifications in order to make sure our trip was exactly how we had dreamed it. Together, we created an epic itinerary!

Overall, we had an amazing trip around Morocco, but we must say that it was made even more memorable and magical thanks to our driver Samir Gemmaoui. He was so generous with all the information. He thought us along the way on the Moroccan/ Amazigh culture, language and religion. We learnt so much!

We felt safe with him and had full trust. We stopped at the most beautiful spots along the way! We joked he was the #photoshootmaster! We have the most beautiful memories to bring back home.

I must also add that this was a trip where I was turning 30 years old. He went above and beyond to make my birthday incredible with a personalized birthday cake and a last minute add to Akchour.
(On this note, we highly suggest to go to Akchour to hike up above God’s Bridge and to swim in the cool but beautiful water!)

We feel extremely lucky to have had the chance to have Samir as our driver. He started off as our driver and finished as a member of our family.

We highly suggest to use KimKim and of course Samir for anyone who wishes to have a dream trip with no stress in Morocco.

We loved our trip so much that we are already planning when we can come back! (Hopefully soon!)

Tanmirt and Shookran!

This was also un "coup de coeur" for us. The room was so great, with a view of the mountains. A terasse surrounded by Mountains. It was relaly the most peaceful place. We loved the fact that there was a free Hammam! The food was so incredibly good. We had a wonderful experience at this Kasbah and we are actually planning on coming back hopefully in the near future. Things to improve: Let the visitors know that there is a walk down to the city in order to leave the Kasbah and therefore to NOT wear sandals.

We would have much more enjoyed our time experiencing the city alone with help from our driver Samir to get to some of the places.

My wife and I have been dreaming of a trip to Morocco since 2020. When we got married earlier this year, we knew right away where our honeymoon would be. Our to do list was long- we wanted to see all of the sights and cities but didn't know where to begin with planning.

There are hundreds of travel agencies in Morocco and we are so incredibly lucky to have found Kimkim, along with Original Travels. Said and his team helped plan our entire weeklong itinerary, taking all of our requests into account. In a weeks time, we've seen the blue city of Chefchaouen, the imperial city of Meknes, the historic medina in Fez, spent time in the desert by Merzouga, Aït Benhaddou and Marrakech.

Each city has brought with it a unique and individualized experience, and memories that we know will last a lifetime. Our driver Faisal has been incredibly accommodating and hospitable, he is the reason why our trip has been so memorable. From his firsthand knowledge of Morocco's history, to making sure I had enough caffeine to make it through the early mornings, Faisal gave us a truly authentic experience.

It was evident from the minute we met Faisal that he has a deep love for his country and Moroccan culture and is eager to share it with his clients. This is clearly not just his job, but his passion. He played a pivotal role in the trip of a lifetime for us that we will forever cherish.

Having never used a travel agency before, I had reservations about putting my vacation in the hands of others. But I can say without any hesitation, this has been the best vacation we've ever had and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Said and Faisal for anyone planning a visit to Morocco.

She always had a smile on her face, personable, funny, professional, safe and an amazing driver, calm, always early, resourceful, and went above and beyond to make sure we had the most memorable vacation. She even made sure that our 5 year wedding anniversary was not forgotten and surprised us with a cake she was able to source from a local family in Merzouga. We couldn't imagine seeing and experiencing Morocco with anyone else. Soukayna started off as our driver and ended as our family she was truly the hardest goodbye of our trip!

My 5 days trip to Morocco can be best described as hits and misses.

Pre trip notification and prompts are spot on. We get reminders a few days before our trip on things to watch out for and contact details. We give credit for that.

The driver assigned to us throughout the entire trip is very good. His name is Karim from Original Travels. Very service orientated, soft spoken and gave us good insight before each point of interest. He cleaned the car every day, drove safely and has good temperament.

The licensed guide assigned to us at Fes (as part of our package) on the other hand, is disappointing to say the least. He is more interested to get us to shop (I guess he gets a commission) rather than giving us the details of each place of interest. Through our half day tour, we have to stop many times, waiting for him to finish his conversation with friends he met along the way and at one point in time even to wait for him to pay his personal bills. I don't think he has respect for our time as tourists there. He asked for our tips even before we started our tour! Clearly unprofessional! We went back to our hotel at 1400hrs, clearly disappointed with our experience at Fes.

We stayed a night at Odyssee Center Hotel at Casablanca, 2 nights at Riad Braya (Ambassador Suites), 1 night at Dar Jasmine and finally a night at Riad Mokhtar Tanger. Brief comments on each hotel as follows (based on the rooms that we were assigned):

Odyssee Center Hotel: I will rate this hotel at most 2 stars (out of 5). Water pressure from shower head is weak and irregular with intermittent bouts of cold and very hot water. Towels came with patches of yellow stains. Very dim room, facing a dilapidated abandon office building, Not a comfortable stay.

Riad Braya: Service staff at this hotel is excellent. Very friendly and prepared to roll up their sleeves to serve their guests. The Ambassador Suites that we stayed is large but not ostentatious. We were disappointed that TV is not working and despite the service staff best efforts, it was blacked out throughout our 2 nights stay. Fortunately, we have Netflix to watch on our ipad! I will rate this riad at 4 star. Bed is comfortable, water pressure is good and breakfast is tasty.

Dar Jasmine: The best room (even though we were given a normal room) we had throughout the 6 days trip. The hotel staff are all out to please and impress their guests! View is breath taking and everything looks new and works in the room. Breakfast is excellent and plentiful. I will highly recommend this hotel at Chefchaouen. A 5 star experience!

Riad Mokhtar Tanger: Unfortunately we ended our trip with a 2 star experience. Given a very dim room with dirty carpets and worse of all, air conditioner is not working. Toilet flush doesn't work properly too. Wanted to change a room but front desk lady went back home right after handing us the keys. Fortunately, we can draw some cool air by opening our windows (at the expense of noise coming from adjoining streets). Cannot imagine staying in this room in the middle of summer!

Sharon did a fine job helping us plan our trip. Our driver, Sallam, was great. The culture and cities we visited were everything we expected. However, we were not prepared for the types of roads we would be travelling on for long hours on this trip. All four of us are 70+ years old and the vehicle used was not very uncomfortable in the back two rows of seats. My wife and our friend Karen were bounced around almost continuously. Plus the back of the seat was tilted back making it impossible to sit upright. The nine hour ride to the desert was especially difficult as the road was often rough, winding with tight curves. The road down the mountain into Marrakech was under construction which caused us to drive on temporary roads which were very rough.
Our room at the hotel in Rabat was dangerous. It had what we called the "pit", which was a sunken area with steps less than 5 feet from the foot of the bed with no guard rails. Our room in Chefchaouen was in need of repair as the walls had cracks and chunks of plaster had fallen off in the bathroom. A lamp had fallen over and couldn't be made to stand back up. The stairs up to our room on the third floor were narrow and treacherous. Our companions were on the ground floor and were subjected to loud music and noise from the town square until past midnight.
However, the hotel in Boumalne Dades was a pleasant surprise. Excellent, friendly service made our stay there very enjoyable. The hotels in Fes and Marrakech were outstanding.
The visit to the Sahara and the tent camp, which we were looking forward to, was not worth the two days on the road (one going and one returning).
Overall the trip would have been more enjoyable with a better vehicle and less driving.

We could relax knowing he was taking us from A to B and doing so in a friendly, professional manner. We never had to worry about anything knowing he was with us. I think we wish we would have flown into Tangier, or had that option made clearer as it was a long drive to Chefchaoen on the first day, but that was a minor detail. Also, for Maison Arabe, maybe to make it clear that its not a PRIVATE cooking class, it's with a group of others.
We loved the trip and all the destinations :) So thank you! It will be a long-lasting memory.

The hotel is a beautiful, renovated riad right in the Medina. It has only a few rooms and well maintained. During our stay, it seemed to be less crowded.

If you need a vibrant, happening place, you should choose to stay elsewhere.

We stayed in the large suite as the other rooms had sold out during that time. Even though the suite was luxurious and large, there were mosquitoes noted in the room. It's not clear if that's the case because that suite is not being used at all times. Maybe the well occupied rooms would have been better.

Our stay at Merzouga camp was the highlight of our Morocca experience. Special thanks to Hamid, manager and Mohamed, Ibrahim and other staff for creating such an awesome experience for the visitors and making us feel at home. There was a sandstorm (apparently an extremely unlikely event) the night that we arrived and we were thrilled and excited to hear the wind howling outside the tent which was an unforgettable experience. The staff went special lengths to provide everyone a sumptuous delicious dinner despite the unpredictable weather. The next day, the winds calmed down and it was very beautiful. We enjoyed visiting the sand dunes and had a memorable camel ride to watch the sunset. It was a surreal experience of a lifetime! We had a delicous dinner, listened to the local music and danced with the staff and guests. The night sky is truly an astronomer's delight !

We had a good time touring the Fes Medina. Being a Friday, some shops were closed. The guide, Azdeen gave us a good overview of the tanneries, old school and attarine madarasa. He also took us to the ceramic shop, tanneries and other shops in the medina. At times we felt that the guide was taking us to places such as leather shops where we were forced to buy things and getting a bit upset as we showed no interest in buying things as we were mainly touring for the experience. At the ceramic shop, the prices are super expensive and we felt like we got cheated for the few pieces that we bought here We probably paid 3 xtimes, but we thought the money could be used as a donation for the artisans who work there. This is a tip to the future travelers, tour this place, but avoid buying anything here. The folks also force you to look at fountains and big pieces that are super expensive and marked up for sure.
