From the moment we began planning the trip with Yassine and then Louis, we were off to a great start. They tailored our trip to match our interests and tastes. They answered our questions and messages in a timely manner and provided very good customer service.

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!

I agree that the cooking class is a must, I do recommend it to my travelers and I always hear great feedback about it so I'm glad you also enjoyed it. I was just traveling in Merzouga and stayed at camp Chebbi where I took some amazing pictures of the stars at night. This is a very unique place that I really don't think can be experienced elsewhere so my glad it was one of the highlights of your 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!

Dear Raini,

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!

Thank you so much for all the beautiful words, dear Raini!

I would have liked more time to shop at the fine jewelry shops in Rabat and the other market places but there was was some much ground to cover. I kinda felt we were in an endurance race to cover everything but we had to cut out a hike because we were tired from being on the “ go” so much. One to two hour guided tours turned into 4-5 hours which was a bit much at times. The hotel host s were very accommodating and hospitable. Loved the Sahara and camel ride! Just wonderful ! The relaxing massage at the end of the trip was a great way to reset and prepare for the travel back to the USA. Overall, one of my best trips! Had the best time!

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.

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.

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.

Our trip to Morocco was an amazing experience. We would like to thank our driver Soukiana Arrabhi for her professionalism and warmth. Soukiana went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable. She is one of the few female drivers in Morocco. My sister and I were so lucky to get her. We are huge coffee drinkers and she knows all the great stops to get coffee during our drive through Morocco. She is also a fantastic photographer - an expert at the group selfie!

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!!!

Tiziri Luxury Camp
Merzouga

Staying at Tiziri Luxury Camp was one of the highlights of our trip. The gentlemen that run the camp are fantastic hosts! 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. Thanks Tiziri Camp for all of the hard work that you do. They are eco-friendly on top of everything!

Dar Rihana Dades
Douar Aït Ouffi

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.

There was a New Years Eve dinner which included entertainment. There was a young Moroccan woman at the table next to us who got up and gave the belly dancer a run for her money. She told us that she learned how to shimmy on Youtube. It was a great cultural experience. The food was also excellent.

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.

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.

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!

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.

Our experience has been one of the best! It was our first visit to the African continent and to a culture that is very different from the Eastern (India) or Western (US) culture.
Morocco is one of the cleanest countries that I have been to. Every city street we visited is kept very clean! Kudos!

Here is a a list of our memorable experiences:
-Fes - Belly dance in a local restaurant. Make sure you make your dinner reservations well in advance. Between the wine, music and dance you will truly enjoy the experience.
Soak up the sun and try ALL the local food (with bottled water). I was interested to try camel meat but to my surprise it was hard to find a dish made of camel meat in local restaurants.
-Merzouga - The camel ride to the desert camp and ATV ride back is an awesome experience. Watching the sunrise from top a high sand dune is memorable.
-Boumalne Dades - Do not miss the view of the Jorge! Whew - breathtaking! Walking in the valley and being with nature (for a little while) and meeting the locals (Amazigh, also called as Berbers but please use Amazigh to refer to them).
Marrakesh - The market square has so much to see, eat and witness, your senses are going to get pounded. Pace yourself and enjoy everything, one at a a time.
We had teens traveling with us and never felt unsafe in Morocco. Well, they went to a nightclub in Marrakesh and returned at 3am in cab by themselves, if that isn't safe enough, what is!

Shoutout to Mohammed (tour guide), Ahmed (driver), Hassan (Guides), Sharon and KimKim!

Highly recommend KimKim and Morocco for a very diverse experience!

Hi Ravi,

Thanks so much for taking the time to write us all such a wonderful review! We are thrilled to hear that you had an amazing experience in Morocco! So sorry for not getting to meet you in person as you came through the Valley of Roses - we had some guests at our home that day and it was difficult to get away. Sorry you didn't get to try to camel meat - since camels are very valuable animals they actually don't eat them a lot and it is considered a delicacy in Morocco. So, I guess you'll just have to come back for that - and next time you will need to spend some more time in the Dades Valley and really absorb the Moroccan Amazigh culture and hospitality!

Thanks again for the review and for trusting us with your (big) family holiday!
Take care and keep in touch!

Going to Morocco was on my bucket list since very long & I finally made it there. Our trip was quite hectic as we wanted to cover as much as possible within our constrained time frame.

Our itinerary said "included" for many visits but I wonder why we still had to pay entry fees at some locations even though these excursions were as included..??

Let me give my feedback location wise as follows :-

** Marrakech : Fun city.
We stayed at Sofitel & they did not let us check in till almost 3:30pm in the afternoon. Very bad service at the front desk with no consideration for guests. But the location is very good & rooms + breakfast are good.
The Hamaam visit was most terrible - I wonder why the guide chose that particular place..?? The way treatment was done by ladies in hamaam was torturous & you should definitely not send anyone there anymore - please take this up strictly with your guide. Only the massage after hamaam was okay but overall experience, cleanliness, ambience & service was horrible.

** Merzouga : Awesome.
This was the best experience in our entire trip. The camp, food, service, staff, tent accommodation, facilities, camel ride, ATV & 4W drive all were superb. Must consider this for sure.

** Fes : Highly overrated.
Our first accommodation in a Riad but unfortunately we were given the worst room. I even pointed this to the manager when we checked in & he said all rooms are same. Next morning when I peeped into 3/4 other rooms they were far more superior & so were their bathrooms. Honestly a big let down & this should be conveyed to the Riad strictly. The common area was good & food + service was decent but very put off with the room.

Walk through the Imperial City was also just okay & the guide there mostly took us to shops & browsing walk through some streets of the old Medina. Please don't shop here as souvenirs are almost double the price than in Chefchaouen.

** Chefchaouen : Beautiful.
Small & beautiful town on a hill, very clean roads, narrow streets & lovely people. The Riad here was comfortable & service too was nice. A sure town to visit when in Morocco.

** Tangier : Vibrant.
More like a European town with lots to do, a very vibrant city with many things to offer. Cap Spartel is a must visit location here. We stayed at Hilton City Centre which was located perfectly, overall a good property with perfect location as station is just opposite.

** Casablanca : Average
A big city but lot of diversity - the newer areas are good but otherwise just okay. We stayed at Sofitel but did not like the location nor ambience nor rooms of this property. The dinner was good as vegetarian food so was freshly made.

Finally - Morocco is a county one must visit to see the diversity & enjoy the beauty..!!

Hi Uma,

Thank you so much for sharing the travel experience you had with our company. We really appreciate the positive side of your feedback and the negative side as well. Your experience means so much to us and we will take all your comments into consideration. We are so sorry to hear about your experience in some hotels.

I have passed on to them your feedback and they promised that such situations wouldn't take place again. We have implemented a new communication system for our booking manager to double-check with hotels, transportation suppliers, and tour guides to assure that all the aspects of comfort are provided for our guests before the trip takes place. Concerning the entrance fees, kindly note that we don't include them in the price offer and if you get back to the price proposal sent to you, you will find out all the services included in the price quote.

Thank you for your review and sorry again for the inconvenience:)

7 day Morroco road trip

Abdellah and Said were very helpful. They would respond quickly when we have a question or concern. The guide in Fez, Hindi, was quite good and we enjoyed his tour.
All the sights were beautiful. Morrocco is a beautiful country. The dessert in Merzouga was memorable but too long to get to.
The tour itself was very tiring being on the road for so long. On hindsight, I should have just stayed in Marrakesh and Fez and do day tours rather that a 7 day road trip.
I believe there’s an option for this., which I should have taken instead.

Food - dinner and breakfast here were exceptional although weather at night was very cold . Ahmed the camp owner provided warm water bottles with electric blankets which helped. The drive through Dades valley was unbelievable through the mountains with great views of areas where some famous movies were shot. Stay at dar Rihanna was great again with exceptional food and service .
