Kimkim Trip Reviews for Morocco

NOT JUST A TRIP...AN ADVENTURE..

Sharon of KimKim Tours proved to be the most proficient tour organizer I have used to plan a tour. She never missed a beat in making it designed to fit our needs and expectations. We were hooked up with Morocco Immersions for our Moroccan trip. Hicham our private driver was the single most person making the trip unforgettable. He was there for our every need to navigate us through a country that never seemed to surprise us both in food and exploration. I will never forget the Dunes of the Sahara on Camel back at sunset, it was breathtaking, a lifetime memory. Thank you Sharon and Hicham for EVERYTHING!!! I highly recommend visiting Morocco using Kim Kim Tours and I WILL use again. They're not just arranging trips ... they're adventures of a lifetime...

I had a great time in Morocco! Sharon was so helpful and patient in the planning process. My driver, Sallam was the greatest and I was so thankful to have him with me for the entirety of the trip. He went above and beyond to make sure my time in Morocco was safe and enjoyable.

My 20 year old son and I spent a wonderful week with Karim touring Morocco. Karim's pride in his country and passion for the history, traditions and sharing his knowledge were exactly what we were looking for. We enjoyed the week with him: the beautiful scenery, the lovely towns, the traditional food, the regional music, the Berber history, perspective on being from a nomadic family and the overall education we received on matters Moroccan, Arab, Islamic and more. This was truly the experience of a lifetime which expanded our world view considerably. Our favorite part of the trip was the visit to Erg Chebbi and the stay at the Tiziri Desert Camp. The ATV ride was a blast and the beauty of the area was beyond compare. This time in the Saharan dunes was impactful and absolutely stunning. We also loved the Riad stays and in particular appreciated the ambiance and location of our Riad Palais Sebban in Marrakesh.

As a whole, this was a fabulous tour with an excellent guide. It is also important to note that Karim made this trip so easy for us ensuring whatever we needed was handled including finding ATMs, Covid testing, etc. We highly recommend using Abdel and his team for arranging your unforgettable trip to Morocco.

This was a memorable vacation where our entire family enjoyed every bit. Sharon was able to create a trip that catered to the interests of everyone in my family of four with two older teenagers. The Riads selected were very reputed and they provide great service. Sharon was on top of our vacation while we were traveling and made some timely adjustments.

The trip could not be a success without Hischam, our tour manager, guide and driver. He coordinated all the local guides to be available based on our arrival and schedule. The local guides at every location where super knowledgeable and spoke excellent english.

Hischam is also an experienced and careful driver. The vehicles provided were in great condition and the ride was super smooth.

Sharon booked us a camel ride from Merzouga into the desert and booked premium desert camp to spend the night. I would highly recommend everyone to include this in your tour. In this COVID time where a PCR test is required to board the return flight, I would recommend you stay two days at your final destination (Marrakesh or Casablanca) so you can take care of that detail.

Thank you Sharon for all your support and thank you Hischam for your help every step of the way.

Sharon was amazing putting everything together and checking EVERYTHING off my list! When I got to Morocco, Amney was my tour manager and I am so fortunate to have met him! Everything from picking me up at the airport, checking into the hotels, even taking care of scheduling my COVID test was handled even before I could think to ask. I can not recommend Moroccan Imersians highly enough. They customized everything specifically for me and my time there. I will be back, and I WILL be booking with them again. Go!!! Go to Morocco! Words can not describe how breathtaking the country is, and everyone I interacted with was so kind. It is a country of people who love people, and want to show you how amazing their country is. Please, do yourself a favor and go. Seriously. GO!

Wanderlust Voyages exceeded our family's expectations for organizing a family friendly trip to Morocco. Megan created an itinerary that hit all the marks for what we were looking for in a voyage with small children. She was incredibly responsive throughout the process and answered a ton of questions about the trip and make customizations to our liking. All the accommodations she booked for us were major hits with the family!

Secondly, we were incredibly lucky to have Omar help us navigate the beautiful, complex, and sometimes chaotic streets of Marrakech and the rest of Morocco. You will never find anyone better to experience a new country with than Omar; he was incredibly helpful throughout our trip in getting us to various hotels and activities seamlessly, answered a ton of our questions (the kids were quite inquisitive), and helped navigate any speed bumps we encountered along the way. A+ guy to be around; thanks OMAR!!!!

I would highly recommend going with Wanderlust Voyages for your Morocco travels and will plan to partner with them again for future travels to this beautiful country!

My wife and I just returned from a 16-day tour of central Morocco organized by KimKim's subcontractor, Morocco Immersion Tours. From the moment I began working with Sharon on desires, expectations and arrangements through Amnay's tours of Rabat, Volubilis, Fez, Mergouza, the Valley of Roses, Ourzazate, Marrakech, Essouira, Oualidia, and then drop off at the airport, we felt heard and understood; safe, cared for and considered. It's like waking up to find a previously-unknown Moroccan branch of your family (that your really like) and they have volunteered to plan and execute for you an in-depth tour of this beautiful, exotic country. We set a high bar- as experienced travelers we wanted liberty to enjoy and explore on our own, but we also did not want to miss anything that might pass without expert assistance. They nailed it. The accommodations were located in just the right spots, luxurious but authentic, each offering high design and surroundings guaranteed to create lasting memories. The touring could have been a burden because there were many hours of driving; instead, thanks to Amnay's pitch perfect personality, combining attentiveness with friendly approachability, the hours flew by as we shared favorite Spotify playlists, talked about Morocco's history and culture, and compared notes on life and family. Even when we weren't with him, he was looking ahead to the next destination to confirm arrangements and make our trip more enjoyable. The whole experience was nothing short of awesome.

We had a wonderful trip to Morocco! Hakim was our trip planner, and everything was well thought of. The riads were all great, and we had a wonderful time at the Orient Desert Camp. Our driver, Mohammed was especially wonderful, and he took care of all details including getting our COVID test to fly back home. Our guide Said in Fez was extremely knowledgeable and a great person to spend the day with. Overall, highly recommend a visit to Morocco and using the same team we had for our trip!

Our family trip of 2 adults and a 5 year old to Morocco was perfection!!! Sharon has patiently worked with me for over a year to come up with the perfect itinerary that included enough exploration for the adults and plenty of fun activities for our daughter! I could not be more thankful for how smoothly everything went once we arrived and during our entire stay there! Our driver was kind, friendly, informative, knowledgeable always on time, and flexible! He was available to us 24 hours a day! The local guides used by Morocco Immersion Tours & Adventures have been amazing, every single one of them and the lodging booked has been exquisite!!! We felt like we were in a fairytale, in addition to being clean and centrally located! We truly felt like royalty, treated in the most reverential way by all those we had encountered and served us, from guides to hotels staff to camel leader. What we learned in the 11 days spent touring this beautiful and mystical country, will stay with us forever, especially the camel trekking in The Sahara, the glamorous camp in the desert, the beautiful blue streets of Chefchaouen, the donkey ride in the medina of Fes and so much more!!! We could not be more grateful to Sharon, Hicham and all those whom Morocco Immersion Tours & Adventures contracted to make our experience perfect!! They were all dedicated to our comfort, kind and helpful!!!! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!!! We cannot wait to take more trips with you!!!

27 days in Morocco

After 30 years traveling solo, I knew a good driver/guide with a powerful vehicle was all I needed for the Morocco trip.

With Karim, ——the happy flexible guide/driver/assistant/DJ/playmate/dinner-mate all in one, came to my side, I realized that I could instantly enter into the self-indulgent age of innocence. Easy going and charming, Karim was a good sport. His car turned into our magic Moroccan carpet (with music soaring), carried me to the villages/valleys/madinas /high mountains and clouds… spirits soared; we became just kids, having fun and being silly, everyday and everywhere…. The ultimate joy a traveler could only hope for.

As adults, we all know that none of these wondrous moments could be possible without someone doing the careful preparation and provides solid back office support. I have to praise that Karim’s years of experience and dedication to make me happy, these were keys to create such a successful trip, and all the logistic and safety issues became invisible and he handled them seemingly effortlessly; so was his boss Abdel’s impeccable professionalism which I found truly world class and impressive. Although virtual (the biggest regret of the trip was that we never get to meet), Abdel was personable and could always make one feel understood, cared about and protected; and his support will always be there for you, whenever necessary.

Abdel and Karim, thank you for indulging me. I am grateful for everything you did for me. I wish you the best and my fond memories will be ever lasting.

I have to say this was one of the best trips. The itinerary completely curated by Abdellah was fabulous and our driver Faysal was the definition of professional with a side of humor! Morocco was made even more beautiful through the kindness of the tour guides and people Abdellah organized for us to meet. I also would like to add that I felt quite safe COVID wise as all the hotels that were picked were very clean (and beautiful). Don’t hesitate and book with this wonderful team!

We had a fantastic trip to Marrakech, very much thanks to our guide Abdel. He planned a great itinerary for us and had really listened to what we were looking for. The recommendation of everything from the Riad (Palais Sebban!) to restaurants and our local guide Hassan were such a good match for what we wanted. The best part of the trip was going with Abdel to the Atlas Mountains for hiking and meeting people in the villages around Imlil.
Thank you Abdel and Original Travels for an amazing trip!! We will be back!

Our trip to Morocco was a once in a lifetime experience thanks to Wanderlust Voyages. We spent 2.5 weeks travelling throughout the country, and our driver/guide Ibrahim, as well as Megan and the Wanderlust crew, made sure everything was just how we could have wanted it to be. Ibrahim took care of us as if we were a member of his own family, especially our two year old son - who to this day is talking about getting back "in the bus and going to Morocco".

Even with COVID restrictions, were able to see quite a few sites around the country. Our guide in Fez, Kamal, was spectacular - we highly recommend him! All the hotels took great care of us, but in Fez, the staff at Palais Sheherazade were welcoming, friendly, and caring for our son during our few days there, as well as for us and our needs. The Es Saddi resort was similarly wonderful. We would very much recommend them again! Thank you so much!

Our trip to Marrakech and Imlil in the Atlas Mountains, planned and guided by Abdel from Original Travels, was a spectacular (!!) return to travel for a group of vaccinated expats coming from Abu Dhabi.
We started out with a very smooth transfer from Casablanca to Marrakech with our wonderful (and safe!) driver, Samir, then had dinner at our gorgeous riad, Palais Sebban, a solid recommendation from Abdel. Our first morning, we took a super fun and informative cooking class at Maison Al Arabe then met up with our laid-back and kind local guide Hassan, for a loop through the Medina where we learned a lot about the culture and daily life of Marrakech and shopped for carpets, leather goods and argan oil.
The following day we were driven to Imlil in the Atlas Mountains for unforgettable hiking, visits with local Berber families for lunch and tea and a night of stargazing and some of the best tajine of the trip from Khasbah du Toukbal. Then it was back to Marrakech for our last two nights. We booked hammam treatments at the Royal Mansour, one of the city's prettiest hotels, a stop at the Majorelle Gardens and YSL museum and a final loop through the souq.
Phew!
We are a relatively well-traveled group and I have to say this was a trip of a lifetime, thanks to Abdel. He was so responsive and helpful in planning and leading us, but also patient and sweet when it came to giving us time to relax and do our own thing.
If you're looking to be a tourist, and I mean that in the very best sense of the word of experiencing and learning and feeling awe and gratitude for this big world, Original Travels is how to do it. Thank you, Abdel!

Amazing and well planed trip. Abdellah did a great job showing us Marrakech and the Atlas Mountains. Abdellah and he´s colleagues made everything to make our trip perfect!

Fantastic week in Marrakech!

Abdellah was incredibly responsive, organized, flexible and fun. Considering the limitations imposed by Covid, we had to make multiple changes to our itinerary. Abdellah was quick to adjust and constructive in helping us pivot our plans. Each day he planned was fun without being too overwhelming. It was a smooth week all-around, and his help in planning our agenda was the difference maker! Anyone looking to enjoy Marrakech and the Atlas Mountains should not hesitate to use his team!

"One of our first trips since the pandemic and Abdel made great arrangements for us. Karim was our driver and friend throughout the tour. Mohanned was a wiz at weaving us through the medina in Fes and Hamdan had great insights in Marrakech. We had the entire place to ourselves in Skoura and a wonderful view from our terrace in Chefchouen. We'll definitely go back again since we were limited due to Eid Al Fitr. Glad to have had this experience and wish I had more time...."

Hakim has to be the best tour operator we’ve ever worked with. Responsive yet also proactive, he followed up with us regarding our trip throughout the difficult pandemic year and kept the channels of communication going despite the country being under lockdown. This was very reassuring to us. He also kept following up with our progress, and soliciting for feedback during our trip to make sure we were enjoying our time. Who does that? With most operators you have a hard time getting a hold of once you send in that last payment. We had the good fortune of working with an exceptional driver, Mohamed, who was a great source of information. In fact I have requested that Mohamed work with my sister and BIL when they visit Morocco in a couple of months. We loved the Riad Chergui in Marrakech. Must try their lamb tagine with the apricots, pear, and prunes. What a fabulous combination. There were a few hiccups with the accommodation in Fez, but it was due to lack of communication on the hotel end. Our tour guide Youssef was a trooper. He stuck with us the entire 6 hours for our walking tour of Marrakech. We were all tired, but he was very professional to the very end.

We had an absolute wonderful time using Abdullah & Karim through Kim Kim Travels. Our trip was last minute and our arraignments were partially done when I found Abdullah. His level of flexibility, expertise and execution for our visit in Morocco are well worth it! We had a beautiful journey that started off in Marrakech and through the Sahara dessert, Fes, Chefchaoun, and lastly, our departure from Casablanca. Our driver Karim was very pleasant and easy going and always willing to be flexible with our decisions of where we were traveling. Would highly recommend to all my friends and family!

Morocco is Back !!!

Simply stated, Morocco Immersion Tours & Adventures is totally awesome. Through Kimkim I was put in touch with Sharon with Morocco Immersion. I told her what I was interested in doing and she was able to help me accomplish everything I wanted and much more. She is extremely knowledgeable, accommodating and understanding. My guide for the trip was Amnay. Besides being fluent in English, he is a helluva great guy, very friendly and strives to give you a 10+ time. (And if you ask him nicely, he'll even perform an incredible song or two in his native Berber!). From Casablanca to Marrakech, the Atlas Mountains, the Dades Valley to the Rose Valley, the Sahara, Fes, Chefchouen and then Rabat, Morocco Immersion repeatedly delivered. Their great relationships with restaurants, local guides and hotels will result in a grand pay off for you.

So what are you waiting for? Decide what you want to do in this incredible country and Morocco Immersion will give you the trip of a lifetime.

Thank you so much Amnay and Sharon (and everyone else with Morocco Immersion)

Michael.
