Coming from London we usually book with UK based companies but I decided to try kimkim based on the exceptional reviews and individualised tour options.

Wow what can I say - this was the best holiday experience we have had. Coming from London we usually book with UK based companies but I decided to try kimkim based on the exceptional reviews and individualised tour options. My wife and I were not dissapointed and Louis delivered a tailor made itinerary that met all our expectations and more. A huge thank you to Louis for this and his excellent communication throughout the process.
Our guides Said (Marrakesh) and Mustafa (Fes) were both knowledgeable, friendly and adapted our tour so that we interacted with the local community so much better than we could have managed by ourselves. We particularly enjoyed the food tour provided by Said on our first day experiencing the culinary delights of real Moroccan food at local places including the legendary snail soup!!
Our driver was Amine and by the end of the trip I can honestly say we became true friends. He was exceptional and I cannot fault him in any way. He is both knowledgeable but can also engage with his clients and adapt to any circumstances thrown at him. His driving was considerate and we felt very safe travelling with him.
There were so many highlights but I think the Camel ride and night in the Sahara Desert topped everything.
I will have no hesitation booking with kimkim for our next trip. Thank you kimkim and the entire team.

This was the worst accommodation of the trip. Although the Riad is in the Medina it was run more as a communal with no locks on the outside of the bedroom doors and breakfast set up on a large table shared with other guests. Although we did not mind it is worth noting if you want time as a couple. The staff were not as attentive or accessible as in the other places we stayed. Considering everywhere else we stayed this was a dissapoitment for our last night.

Especial thanks to our driver Amine who is awesome and made the trip exceptional by going the extra mile every step of the way for the entire duration of our trip! He accommodated us when our bags did not make it to Rabat from Paris, made calls to the airline in French and Arabic and made the round trip back to Rabat from Fes just to pick them up! Throughout he was very courteous and helpful with tips on how to navigate the different cities of Morocco and the sites and history. He recommended stops for food and pictures which truly enhanced our whole experience.
The guides Mustafah and Hassan are very knowledgeable and made our tours very informative. Hiking with our Guide Idris in Ourika valley was an amazing experience.

It was wonderful to sleep in the desert at Camp Chebbi . The staff though very young made up for it in enthusiasm. Then only surprise was their attempt at European style food😂. Also the camp was cold in January and we could have used extra blankets or throws near the Firepit. Here too the guides for camel ride and buggy were great!

Thanks KimKim for an amazing trip and off the beaten path Morocco experience.

The guide was really great and knew a lot about the Medina. It felt more regular tour and less food tour. I had mentioned I was a chef during planning and had hoped that would be reflected in the tour however it felt like we were just going to random stalls, not "the best" ones like I have done on past tours. But like I said, he was a great guide and we did try several things - maybe this is the style that is done here. I would definitely recommend the guide to friends for a walking tour but maybe not food specific.

He was also an extremely nice guy who went over and beyond to make our trip memorable especially on my wife's birthday. However, in each place we had a local guide who was a specialist for the city. Hassan for Marrakech and Said for Fes were excellent.
The accommodations selected by Sharon based on our specification were excellent and gave us a very good insight into Moroccan high life. The Ryad Paradise delivered the best dinner of the entire trip.
I would strongly recommend this company and this itinerary to anyone wanting their first taste of Moroccan culture but in some style.

Upon arrival in Casablanca, we were welcomed by the amazing Amine whose energy and enthusiasm about our pending adventure was infectious. Amine truly made the trip even more special with his warmth and hospitality. His ability to navigate the challenging roads gave us confidence.

In Fes we stayed at the Riad Mazar Fes which was not only beautiful and comfortable but Siham and Aziz took great care of us. The authentic breakfast was delicious and particularly memorable. Mohamed, our guide in the Medina, was extremely knowledgeable which also added to the experience.

The Sahara desert, from the sunset camel ride, to the glamorous luxury Camp Chebbi, to the sunrise sand boarding, to the very fun quad ride back to Merzouga was a one-of-a-kind experience.

Stephanie and Ibrahim at the Kasbah Isfoula were also great hosts and we enjoyed a great dinner at the hotel restaurant. The charismatic Aziz, our guide in Ait Ben Haddou , integrated his experiences being an extra in well known movies and TV series into the narrative to everyone's delight.

In Marrakesh, our guide Rachid was totally awesome. The cooking class at the Clock Cafe is a must do. Mohammed our chef was terrific and the food we all made was delicious.

Overall, KimKim planned the perfect trip!

To say that I fell in love with Morocco would be an understatement; and I owe a huge debt of gratitude to Hakim for making that possible and for having created an amazingly unforgettable experience for my family!

From the onset of planning, it was clear that he was dedicated to meeting and satisfying all of our expectations, and he continuously exceeded them. Not only was he extremely knowledgeable about both the potential and the limitations of such a trip, but he seemed to have a natural intuition in understanding our vision of what we hoped to experience. As such, his meticulous planning resulted in a finely executed series of events that compounded into a beautiful memory. Not to mention, he went above and beyond in creating an itinerary that was both exciting and intriguing for the adults, and yet still manageable enough for the patience and span of attention of a 4 year old child. To balance the needs of all is no easy task, But Hakim seemed to do so seamlessly.

I would also like to commend him for his very personal service to us. At one point during the tour, my mom had left a credit card behind at a hotel hours and hours away, and Hakim was able to personally return the card to us in another city. We were grateful for his effort to safeguard our property, and continue to be entirely impressed by this gesture.

Hakim could not have planned a more perfect trip for our family, and in doing so has most certainly guaranteed that we will be back— and that we will highly recommend both Hakim and KimKim to anyone seeking excellent service for in their travel planning to Morocco.

I would be remiss if I did not extend a special shout-out to our dependable driver, Mohamed, who was a dream come true from the moment we met. After flight delays, cancellations, lost luggage and an exhausting trip across the Atlantic, he greeted us with a warm & welcoming smile, genuine kindness, and a calming energy, which gave us the reassurance that we were in very good hands. Throughout the entire tour he was endlessly patient— providing us with knowledge, insight and humor. He brought so much joy to my family (my 4 year old daughter, especially) during our long hours on the road. What a gift it was to have had him as our driver for the duration of the trip! We felt extremely lucky to have him, and are very honored to now call him a friend.

Suffice it to say, not only do these men deserve special recognition for their outstanding service, but they ought to be compensated and rewarded— accordingly and generously. We could not have been happier!

The KimKim team is so fortunate to have these immensely valuable partners in its organization, and we wish them continues success!

Clearly, the majority of the accolades belong to Hakim and Mohamed; however, we were equally pleased with many special guides we met along the way: Yusef, Hafeed & Sharif, in particular. Bravo to these gentleman who provided us with brief, but excellent, service, as well!

I would write hundreds, thousands, and probably millions of words and I may not be succeeding in expressing how it was a truly great pleasure and an honor not only to work with you but actually, to know you and meet you in person even if it was just for a couple of minutes on your last day in Casablanca.

I would love to deeply thank you for choosing Kimkim and for allowing me to be the one to arrange your family travel experience in my beautiful country. I’m so grateful that you all enjoyed your trip even after missing the first 2 days due to the heavy storm. The great part of the experience is that you made it, you came and you loved the country!

From the very beginning, you and your mom, without forgetting Riva the little beautiful angel, were all very comprehensive and amazing people to speak with. My work wouldn’t be “great” without your flexibility, your comprehension, and your unconditional kindness!

I personally wish I had a longer duration to spend with you and your family, and for sure with the excellent gentleman, Mohamed. I’m definitely sure you’re already considering a future travel experience and I can’t really wait to offer you another beautiful and magnificent experience in the future. Next time will be with Mohamed, and probably I’ll be part of your trip as well, touring the country with you and your wonderful family.

For the local guides, I am glad that they were all at your expectation and that they succeeded to share valuable information regarding their cities. All of them will be more than happy to read your motivating and outstanding review, dear Raini!

This is not the end. This is just the beginning! Everyone in Kimkim is truly happy that you selected us for your trip experience. I hope to work again with you in the near future and look forward to meeting you all and enjoy all together another unforgettable experience!

Our entire Morocco trip was world class in every way. The schedule was well prepared and the guides and the driver chosen for this trip were excellent. The hotels that were chosen for the trip were outstanding with the best customer service that we could get anywhere in the world.

There were only couple of small hiccups with the hotel reservation in Casablanca and the garden tickets in Marrakech but they were resolved very quickly. The guides chosen for the different visits in different cities were very knowledgeble as well as patient in taking us to all the key sites in the specific cities. Our driver was also very patient because my children were sick one of the days and so we had to make some adjustments to the travel plan to accommodate that. We were four of us and so I am sure each of us have our own memorable spots during our travel. For me it was Marrakech and our stay in the desert in Merzougah. Both were outstanding and showed us very different aspects of Morocco. The one aspect of Morocco that we all loved is the people who made us very welcome in every city that we visited. That is testament to the country being a fantastic place for tourists to come to and learn about and understand what Morocco is all about. Even though we did not speak Arabic or French, it was easy to communicate with anyone who dealt with tourists because English was very well spoken and understood everywhere.

Hotel Reviews
Tiziri Luxury Camp
Merzouga

A really unique experience of staying in the desert in a camp. We celebrated the New Years Eve there and so, sitting in the bonfire as we counted down to midnight was memorable. The only issue with the Tiziri Camp was the lack of hot water in the showers. That is definitely something that should get resolved because with the winter cold, it is almost impossible to shower with the cold water.

Our two-week family trip to Morocco over winter break was a very memorable one. It was very well planned and executed by our tour organizer Hakim and our driver, Rahim. Anytime you organize a trip with multiple stops and destinations it can get a bit stressful. However, Hakim organized a perfect tour package for us with nine stops over fourteen days!! We started in Casablanca and made our way to Rabat, Tangier, Chefchouen, Fes, Erfoud, Todra Gorge, Marrakech, and Essaouria. We had our own van which was always very clean and comfortable, and we never felt terribly rushed as we went from one city to another. Our tour guides were very good, particularly in Marrakech. We also did a food tour in Marrakech and we were pleasantly surprised that there were a lot of options for vegetarians and vegans. Thank you Tariq for a great interactive gastronomic tour!
Hakim was always in touch with us during our vacation and Rahim was always with us and made sure the hotel check ins went smoothly. We have to thank Rahim for driving us around the country from the Imperial cities to the Atlas Mountains and to the coastal shores safely and efficiently. He always took us to the perfect restaurants along the way for lunch stops which we very much appreciated. Hakim planned a fantastic trip for us and Rahim executed it perfectly by making sure we got from one destination to the next safely and on time. Our Moroccan vacation came together very smoothly and exactly as planned like pieces on a puzzle fitting together in the right spot. We had great experiences, met some wonderful Amazigh people, and now have memories to last a lifetime.

I stumbled upon KimKim during a quick search about Morocco. My criteria was to go with a locally owned company and I noticed Abdellah's Origin Travels. Given rave reviews, I decided to given him a call. I am so glad I did.

His itinerary was fool proof, chose best experiences, hotels and he even considered experiences for our kid . What a trip that was !
We loved every aspect of it! Ilyaas our driver and guide kept in mind every minute details and things we requested for and accommodated it. Said & Abdellah kept in touch with us throughout the trip.

We love handmade & handicrafts. They took us to best co-operatives and souks. Fez is an unforgettable experience, so is Merzouga. To Camel keepers , local guides, Berber families ,Nomads , Riad & Kasabh staffs , Abdellah,Said &Ilyas : We can't thank you enough for the experience. We learned to be more kind , humble and appreciative of the diverse world we live in.

Being a foodie, I can't stop without a review on food .We had so many great meals but the best one we liked was a Berber dish prepared for us at Merzouga. The Kasabh name is Takojt. The meat & egg prepared the Berber way, OMG! It was out of this world.

We also want to give a shout out to our fantastic guide in Marrekesh - Hannan Eland. Hannah is very knowledgable in the history of Morocco which is what we wanted to learn while we were there. She found us a fantastic pharmacy to buy natural health care products like eucalyptus crystals and snail cream for wrinkles. They go through the whole process of how the products are made and how they work.

The whole trip was fantastic but our 2 favorite places/experiences were at Tiziri Camp in the Sahara desert run by Imazighen people and the Dar Rihana riyad in the Dades Gorge. There is nothing like sleeping in the desert! It is so quiet and serene. The camp employees did everything from lead the camels to cooking meals and also entertaining us with Berber music by the moon light and camp fire. As for Dar Rihana - the hotel is gorgeous and the chef is amazing. I was not expecting this diamond in the middle of the mountain valley. It is truly an oasis.

We had a fantastic trip and I would recommend it to anyone, Thank you Kimkim team!!!

They did everything from get us to the camp by truck, ATV or camel (the camels were very well taken care of in case anyone is worried), cook and serve all of the fantastic meals, and provided beautiful Imazighen music by the camp fire. The accommodations are gorgeous and comfortable. It was truly a magical experience. The Sahara desert is so quiet at night and the sunrise is stunning. We would stay longer next time.

Dar Rihana is a gem in the Dades valley. I have to say I was pleasantly surprised as I never imagined there would be such a beautiful little riyadh in the middle of the gorge. We were served mint tea and delicious home made almond cookies out on the patio before we went to our room. The hotels decor is gorgeous with all type of interesting detail in the design. It has a fresh new feel to it but keeps a 'true to Morocco culture' look. An even bigger surprise was the food. The chef put out a 6 course dinner that was fantastic. The food was creative but still all Moroccan flavors. My favorite was a goat cheese tart with spicy tomato roulade and a dough crust. The two brothers who own and run this riyadh have something amazing going. We have already recommended it to people that we know. I would actually like to doing some hiking in the valley and stay longer next time.

Wow! What an amazing experience. My trip to Morocco exceeded my expectations and I am so thankful to KimKim and Megan for helping to coordinate such a lovely trip. I appreciate that Megan met with us live over Zoom before the trip to really understand what we were looking for in this trip. As two young women traveling together, our biggest concern was safety, and we did not feel unsafe for even a single moment during the trip.

The logistics were impeccably managed. Everyone - from our drivers to our city guides to our Riad hosts - worked together to make sure we were comfortable, safe, and that we enjoyed our time. We traveled across much of the country and the time getting to know our driver, Mustapha, was a highlight of the trip. I'm glad to say we gained a new friend!

It's difficult to summarize the experience because we saw and did SO MUCH in just a week. We explored the medinas of Fes and Marrakech, ate amazing food, saw beautiful sights across the country like Todra Gorge and the historic Ait Benhaddou, we bought beautiful souvenirs, and made many friends along the way. Morocco is a unique and very special place, full of lovely people, sights, and sounds. I couldn't recommend a trip with KimKim and Megan/Wanderlust more.

Dar Victoria
Fez

We loved Dar Victoria! Karim and Abdul were lovely hosts, helping to carry our bags and always making sure we were comfortable during our stay. Our room was spacious, comfortable, and SO CLEAN! Breakfast was delicious and plentiful. We also ate dinner one evening, and the chicken tagine was my favorite meal of the trip. The rooftop has an AMAZING view of the Fes medina and was a lovely place to be at sunset.

Paradis Du Sahara
Merzouga

Like most of the trip, our experience at Paradis Du Sahara exceeded our expectations. We began with a camel ride to the camp. Riding camels for an hour at sunset in the Sahara was a surreal experience. It was so peaceful and our guide, Said, was kind and fun, always willing to take photos and share a story. This is definitely NOT "camping" but a comfy king size bed with lots of blankets, a working toilet and shower, and plenty of other amenities. The food and service from the staff was just perfect. Being around the fire at night playing drums, dancing, and sharing stories was a highlight of our trip. I can't wait to go back!

Dar Chamaa was lovely! The staff was friendly and helpful, the room was spacious and clean, and the food was great. The property is beautiful, with a lovely outdoor seating area and pool. We especially loved the buffet-style breakfast and the balcony overlooking Ouarzazate from our room. The location is not very walkable, but you really have no reason to leave the property because all of your needs will be met. Would recommend!

Riad Merzouga
Marrakech

We LOVED Riad Merzouga. We were greeted by our host, Brahim, who started the stay with some mint tea (of course) and guitar. The lobby and common space are beautiful, with a pool in the middle, and plenty of space to relax. We especially loved the rooftop and spent time there relaxing. Our room was spacious, clean, and they even included some towel animals for us! The location is great - easy to find and close to the main attractions in Marrakech. Brahim was so kind to even wake up before 4AM to walk us to our driver as we headed for the airport. Everything was wonderful and we can't wait to go back.

Wine Tasting in Meknes
Wine Tasting in Meknes
Morocco

While this may not be the most expected or "authentic" experience when visiting Morocco, I am very glad that we visited the Volubilia-Domaine de la Zouina winery in Meknes! After a week of travel, this was a perfect way to relax and see a different side of Morocco. Our guide, Mohamed, was so kind and went out of his way to make our time fun, including driving us around the vineyard and sharing wine and cheese with us. We toured the winery, then were greeted with a lovely spread of cheeses and wines out on a lawn by the vineyard. I would hardly call this a "tasting" as we were given several bottles of wine to enjoy as we pleased. We purchased a few bottles to enjoy over the rest of the trip. Overall, it was a lovely experience!

Fes

To say we just grazed the surface of Fes with a 6 hour tour is an understatement. The city is incredibly dense, full of lovely people, historic sights, shopping, food, and more. Our guide, Kamal, is so knowledgeable about the history of Fes and Morocco, and it was so interesting to just soak up his brain for the afternoon. Kamal was very helpful in guiding us through the medina to purchase good quality items and seeing all of the artisans at work was fascinating. This tour was a blur in the best way, and Kamal spent extra time with us later in the day to make sure we'd get to see as much as possible.

Such a fun day! We stopped in Rissani to visit the market, visited a fossil shop, tried on traditional Berber clothing, stopped at Berber villages, walked the Todra Gorge, and explored some of the "Hollywood of Morocco" sights in Ouarzazate. It was a fun and busy day, and a great way to see Morocco outside of the major cities. Our driver knew exactly where to stop and when to maximize our time and comfort!

Ait Benhaddou was one of my favorite experiences of our Morocco trip. Be prepared to climb a bit if you plan on visiting the top for the views. The drive through the High Atlas was SO BEAUTIFUL! Our driver was always willing to stop for a photoshoot. I was also impressed with the new, well-maintained roads throughout the mountains. We visited the Argan and Rose Oil co-ops as well, which I would recommend as a nice stop for souvenirs.

Marrakesh

We are SO glad that we did a food tour with a guide in Marrakech! It's easy to become overwhelmed with all of the available food options, and the many stall-owners who are vying for your business. With the tour, we were able to try a wide variety of foods that we knew were all of great quality. My only suggestion is to PACE YOURSELF for this tour, as you will eat more than you should!

We were two American women traveling through Morocco on a budget, but we felt like princesses thanks to our EXCEPTIONAL driver Rasheed, the gorgeous riads selected by the travel agency and the well-informed guides.
Hakim worked with me via email and Zoom, in English, to come up with our ideal itinerary. Not only did we see many historical sights, the guides taught us so much about the history, culture (past and present) and customs of Morocco. And, they were flexible if we wanted to stay a little longer at once place or skip something.
If you go to the Roman Ruins, request the guide Hassan. In Meknes you want Mohamed and in Casablanca, request Mourad.
Many thanks to Hakim and KimKim for giving us a once in a life-time experience!!
