Kimkim Trip Reviews for Morocco

Ali was always available for any last minute changes or additions. Our driver Hassan was excellent and always looked after us. Thank you very much for making our mother daughter trip a memorable one

We had a fabulous time in Morocco all due to the Kim kim/Original Travels team. They were very reponsive and helped to set up exactly what we were looking for in our first adventure there. First our driver guide Mohammed was the best. He was very flexible, had many great stories and really took care of us well. We learned much about the history and people through him. Our tour guides in Fes and Marrakesh, Mohammed and Hanan were also excellent, different in styles but equally knowledgeable. I appreciated that when we walked the streets of Fes, Mohammed seemed to know eveyone. He maneuered the streets of the Medina like a pro and made sure we had a good time. Hanan knew Marakesh like the back of her hand. After 4 days of touring other parts of the country we were a bit tired, so she was able to adjust the tour to our needs - slowing down the pace and finding food for our vegetarian daughter. The planning through their online tool was easy and the team was quick to respond and provide pricing and ideas. I will definitely sign up for another tour with them. Next time the Sahara!. Thank you Kim Kim team.

Hanan was a fabulous guide.

We had a great tour of Morroco! Our tour was 7 days from Marrakech to Casablanca with stays in Ourzazate, Desert, Fes and beautiful Chefchaouen. Abdellah was very responsive and accommodated all our requests. Our driver, Samir, was very nice and was always sharing tips and pointing points of interest, restaurants, and other places that we inquired about. He was always on time and was never irritated We had planning if one of us was late. When we raised a concern to Abdellah and team related to one of our stays they resolved it immediately by moving us to a great Riad that we really loved. All in all excellent service and we highly recommend planning your Morroco tour with Abdellah.

My husband and I had an amazing adventure through Morocco with our driver Karim for a bulk of our trip (consider yourself lucky if you get him, he's incredibly knowledgeable and so familiar with the region!) We also had Hanan guiding us in Marrakesh for local visits and sightseeing in the area (reach out to her in you're looking for a great experience in Marrakesh complete with local color and a knowledgeable guide to all the local attractions).
Our trip was 8 days beginning in Casablanca and ending in Marrakesh with amazing sights and experiences along the way. Using kimkim was so amazing and made our trip hassle-free as we didn't have to research local hotels or search for activities, as plenty of great activities were scheduled and suggested for the journey. We certainly plan to use this service for our next adventure!

Marrakesh

We had a fantastic week-long trip to Morocco. Yassine was very available, not just before the trip but also during our trip. In one of the Riad's, there was a situation of deafening Moroccan wedding music right below our room. Yassine jumped to action, and even sent a local guide to take charge of the situation. Our driver, Mohammad who accompanied us throughout our trip was just fantastic. A sweet human, his gentle manners and careful driving is appreciated. He even went to great efforts in finding us packaging materials for a light fixture. The SUV we had could have been in better condition. We liked the Riad in Fez, and were happy that we opted for an upgraded luxury hotel in Marrakesh. The Riad in Chefchaouen was only passable. The Novotel in Casablanca was in terrible shape despite being in a good location. The itinerary was very good. We had a relaxing time.

Our trip was fantastic. Everything went so smoothly. We saw a lot and learned so much about Morocco. Our driver, Sallam, was awesome. He went above and beyond to make our trip special. He was knowledgeable and very fun! We were travelling with our young adult kids (21 and 24 years old) who really enjoyed travelling with and learning from Sallam. Other local guides (sorry I forgot names) were also excellent and very open to sharing their life experiences with us so we could experience more of the culture.

This was our first trip to Morocco and we felt we needed the guidance of area experts. When we travel, we like to understand the community in which we are traveling and to experience the culture of the people…all while avoiding tourist traps. From the first communications, we could tell that Sharon would be a great travel partner for us: she is responsive, courteous, and full of helpful ideas. Those traits carried through out our planning and travel process; we never felt like we were on our own. The driver who was assigned to us helped us for our entire nine day trip; he was personable, very thoughtful, and kept our safety top of mind. When we settled in each destination, we found the accommodations selected by Sharon and her team to be quite lovely and very culturally authentic. The guides arranged at each site were all friendly, knowledgeable, and adept at speaking multiple languages. Our first trip to Morocco was most certainly made possible because of Morocco Immersion and it left us confident that we will return to this colorful and vibrant country.

After a 2 year Covid delay we finally made it to Morocco for a 9 day excursion arranged by Kimkim. Everything went perfectly right from the outset, when our driver Sallam met us at Rabat Airport. Sallam was friendly, always smiling, spoke perfect English and had plenty of stories, jokes and local knowledge. Our trip involved a lot of driving and Sallam was exceptional behind the wheel.
Our highlight had to be the camel ride into the Sahara Desert at Merzouga. The tour was authentic Morocco from the beautifully decorated Riads we stayed in to the Medina tours and sales pitches for carpets, leather and local crafts.
Our family would wholeheartedly recommend Kimkim for any Morroco excursion.

Sharon did an absolutely phenomenal job planning the itinerary out for us. Within 11 days, we were able to cover almost all of Morocco in exactly the way we wanted- a bit of adventure, relaxation, and a window into moroccos history, culture and architecture.
Our tour guide, Amnay was with us throughout the trip and he was fantastic- made us feel comfortable and never rushed.
Sharon’s business partner & better half met us in their hometown and we did a couple of great hikes, which has been a highlight of the trip.
While I think the entire trip was beautiful, I’d have to say our time isn’t he desert, Fez and Marrakesh were truly memorable. Thank you Sharon & Morocco immersions for this amazing holiday!

Hakim did a great job of organizing everything. He worked with us to create the best holiday plan given our family’s needs and interests. Hakim was also wonderful at changing the itinerary at the last moment to accommodate a change in dates and addition of another traveller.

What I learned on this trip is that prices for the trip could vary depending on the local specialist you end up getting through Kim Kim. A friend of mine decided to visit Morocco the same time I was going. So she reached out to Kim Kim, got a different local specialist ended up with the same itinerary, same selected hotels, her stay was even slightly longer by two days as she also visited Casablanca and her cost was lower than mine. She also got superior accommodation than we did in terms of rooms she was provided at the different hotels/riads that we stayed at. The following is my attempt to provide the readers with things we have learned that may help them in planning their trip a little bit better by learning from what we experienced.

Marrakesh: stayed at Palais Sebban. Beautiful Riad and highly recommend it. Just be aware that most rooms require going up some steps but staff were attentive to bringing up the luggage for us as it would have been challenging on our own. However, when it came to our tour guide assigned to us in Marrakesh he appeared not to know or be interested in sharing anything about the history of the country. The tour basically consisted of having our driver bring us to the majorelle garden, the madraseh and then the rest of the time walking through the market and peeking at bakeries and sampling local food. The main site that people visit in Morocco the Bahia palace he did not take us to and told us we can go there on our own and told us we can go there around 5pm as it takes one hour to tour until it closes at 6. Well we went there at 5 and apparently it closes every day at 4! How can a tour guide not know that? So we missed seeing one of the main sites in Marrakesh as we were leaving in the morning the next day.

when we complained to Abdel and Said, they were very apologetic. They booked dinner for us that night In Marrakesh as an apology. Said also wanted to upgrade our accommodation at our next stop but I wish he did not. The hotel he moved us to la perle du dades in Boumalne was run down. It it a beautiful property but must has gone through disrepair during covid. Our room had small ants on the bathroom counter. The other room we had for our kids the air conditioner did not work. The chaise lounges around the pool must has seen better days. I have to admit when I told our driver Ilyas that we did not like the Riad and wanted to go to our originally booked accommodation in this area he immediately complied with our request.

Boumalne Dades via Ait Benhaddou and ouarzazate: this was listed as a 6.5 hour drive from Marrakesh but please be prepared that does not include stops. So the trip really took us closer to 8.5 hours. We stopped at the Ouarzazate to tour the movie studio which was pretty lame. Not worth the time or money spent. The studio tour provided by a local guide was lame. As mentioned earlier this is the stop that we had the unfortunate experience of changing our original hotel to la perle du dades. However, the hotel that we originally had booked and ended up staying at was hotel xaluca dades. Very nice hotel. We highly recommend it. Beautiful views from the pool area and beautiful pool.

Merzouga and orient desert camp: this is another 4.5-5 hour drive to get to our meeting point to the people who run the desert camp. This was the highlight of our trip. Our guide got us mounted on our camels and led us through beautiful dunes to the camp which is about 1-1.5 hours. Then you dismount and wait on the dunes to watch the sun set. Absolutely beautiful!

Merzouga to Fez drive and stay at Riad Salam Fez: this apparently is the longest drive. It said on the schedule as 7.5 hour drive but keep in mind that does not include stops along the way. So we asked our driver to limit the stops so we skipped viewing the smaller of the two gorges we were supposed to see. It took us about 8.5 hours to get to fez. Riad salam fez was beautiful. We just rested that night. Next morning we were met by a guide who took us to a pottery ceramic shop for a demonstration as fez has the best clay for pottery. Then took us to the tannery and carpet place.

Chefchaouen and Lina read and spa: this was another 4.5 hour drive with no stops. But we stopped at the Roman ruins of Volubilis so it took a bit longer than that. The ruins were interesting to see. You pick up a local guide at the entrance for about 150-200 dirham ($20) for a 45 minute walk through the ruins. Recommend doing that otherwise you would not know what you are looking at. Chefshaoun is absolutely beautiful with its blue bldg. colors. Hiked up to the Spanish mosque for the sunset which I highly recommend. We did not have a tour guide scheduled here although our friends who used a different Kimkim local specialist had a tour guide assigned to them who took them through the town in the morning and gave them a bit of history and background. So we did not get that. It just reflects the some variations in the local specialists way of doing things.

Last stop was Algiers which was a 2.5 hour drive. We stayed at hotel farah which is a nice modern hotel that we just needed to decompress from the trip and did nothing but lay by the pool and enjoy the view. Our driver took us to the Hercules cave and the point where the Mediterranean meats the Atlantic. Very nice.

As you can see from the long review this was way too much packed into a 9 day emtrip. My advise is don’t do this break neck trip at the pace we did. If I was to cut something out I would cut boumalne dades and maybe Tangier and extend stays at Marrakesh and fez so to unwind from the long drives.

Last but not least our driver Ilyas was the best part of our trip. He was very accommodating and professional and dealt with the hiccups as best as he could.

Planning our trip with Sharon was effortless. She was extremely responsive and took care of our every question and concern. Our driver and guide, Hussein became like family. His excellent driving and language skills aside, he is one of the most compassionate, kind and caring human beings that I have ever met. He made our trip very special. I highly recommend Kimkim and especially Hussein. Moroccan’s are some of the nicest, accommodating people we have met while traveling. The country’s landscape is gorgeous with gorges, valleys and stellar panoramic views. Staying in Riad’s in the Medina’s is extra special. The food is excellent, albeit a bit repetitive. Other cuisines are available in larger cities and Hussein took us somewhere different when we had enough tangines. We did a 6 day immersion from Marrakech (city guide one day and hike/gardens the second - Dades Valley - camel ride and camp in the dessert and up to Fez for 2 days. Be prepared for a couple of LONG driving days. There is much to see and it’s hard to nap because you don’t want to miss anything. I would recommend getting an antibiotic from your doctor prior to your trip as we experienced traveler’s diarrhea although we didn’t drink tap water, we did consume all fruits and vegetables. They were too good to resist. Morocco is a country that bargains when purchasing items. Be prepared. We had separate guides for Marrakech, Dades Valley and Fez. We wished we could have had our Hussein for these excursions as well. Their English was very good and knowledge extensive but they clearly received a commission from specific shops. Some tours included an instructional demonstration of a specific craft which we very much enjoyed but typically lead to a gift shop and sales pitch afterwards. We have found this to be true in other countries and on other tours. This is how they make their money and it’s good to be prepared. It’s important to have a mind set of traveling to experience another culture and be prepared to not to have every creature comfort of home (lack of toiletries, subpar linens/towels, temperamental toilets or lack of toilet paper, no half & half for coffee). My favorite experience was having tea with a Berber family and seeing how they live, their daily routine and the “appliances” they use. The Medina in Fez was also a high point. Taking in the countryside and views during the drive and having conversation with Hussein about himself, the culture and norms from his perspective was also a highlight. Morocco is not to be missed, especially with Hussein and knowing that Sharon is an email away. Go and have a great time!

From the first communication with Megan on day 1 of planning our Moroccan adventure she was nothing but the best. She responded to every email inquiry, question, suggestion & concerns. She really was one of the best travel advisors we’ve ever worked with. We typically do not do tour groups or full planned itinerary traveling and Megan understood that and helped us build an incredibly independent structured itinerary that allowed us to see so much of Morocco in 10 days. She set us up with one of the best drivers ever in Hamid. He became a brother at the end of our trip. We couldn’t have felt more relaxed & safe driving throughout the entire country. It was one of THE best trips we have ever taken and it wouldn’t have been possible without the expertise of Megan & our driver Hamid. Highly recommend Megan & her KimKim team to anyone looking to create a life changing traveling stress free experience that you get to tailor and design with their insight and expertise.

Hamid is simply the best there is.

Samir was absolutely amazing. You can feel his pride for his country. He wants to share his culture with his guests. He made us feel so comfortable, like we were guests in his personal home. He took the time to answer all of our questions and culture and even religion. There was a mutual respect and appreciation of our differences. He truly went the extra mile. When we go back to Morocco, we will definitely request Samir.

The experience with KimKim and Original Travels was great. This was my first experience with a guided tour. I highly recommend it, as there is so much to see and do. You need the guidance. My only recommendation for other travelers would be to add in downtime to your schedule. It was go, go , go all 8 days. Next time, I will also request two days per city. 1 is just not enough.

Amazing experience, and something we'd never be able to coordinate ourselves without the Kim Kim team's local knowledge and detailed planning.

Our driver, Tarik, was brilliant. He adjusted the itinerary on the fly, helped us find the best coffee (critical!) every morning, even played with our kids and kept them entertained when they needed a break from tours and experiences.

Morocco isn't an easy place to travel around yourself (especially with three kids under 10) so Kim Kim was perfect to take the research and detailed planning out of it, and let us just relax and know we were doing exactly what we should be doing.

Thanks Abdel, Tarik and team!

Hakim is a professional tour planner. He is very knowledgeable and took care of the smallest details. He was always checking on us during the trip making sure all is going well.
Our driver, Mohammad is the nicest, most respectable, knowledgeable person. He drove us through very difficult terrains giving us some history about the areas we were crossing and the peoples customs and cultures. He made our trip very enjoyable and we felt safe with him. He is a true gentleman. Our guides, Yousef, Hafid and Yassine were excellent and very knowledgeable. They made us understand a lot about Morocco, urs history and the way of life. Thank you KimKim for assigning such great professionals. It made our trip extremely enjoyable.

First time experience with kimkim and Sharon and I’ll come back for customized tours. Sharon was responsive at every point, during the build of the trip in Morocco and when we changed some items on the fly such as when when we were not happy with the quality of a ‘remote’ and rural hotel. The tour guides were all high quality and our driver throughout our 14 day tour Yassine was exceptional. He was a very safe driver traversing the Atlas Mountains, was very friendly and ensured we were happy at every turn. We felt very safe and relaxed with Yassine at the helm. Look forward to using kimkim again and highly recommend Sharon and her Moroccan team.

The Kimkim team made our trip to Morocco seamless and so FUN. All our questions were answered patiently and informatively by Abdel and Said, and we had lots of questions! They honored our reservation for 2 years while Covid closed Morocco's borders. Our driver Ilias picked us up at the airport and continued to take care of us with a smile. He is a very good driver and escorted us with ease, laughter, joy and grace throughout our journey. Hennan gave us a wonderful tour through the Medina, gardens, and Bahia Palace. She was so kind and knowledgable and also very patient as we took extra time everywhere taking pictures and really soaking in the sites. Mohamed is an infectiously joyful and spiritual man who had us laughing and enjoying our hike through the George. Lunch with his family was very sweet as we ate delicious tagging and shared photos of our american home towns. Once in the desert, Hmad gave us a ride to a nomad family so we could learn about this kind of life. Hmad grew up with his nomadic, very wise grandmother and learned to revere nature and the rhythm of the desert.I loved talking philosophy with him. He runs the Tiziri Luxury Eco Camp where we stayed for one night. A magical sunset and full moon camel ride brought us to warm, inviting tents with very cosy, comfortable beds. the camp makes minimal impact as it recycles the water and uses solar energy. Hmad and the crew are amazing musicians and after a gourmet and surprising dinner, we enjoyed the drums and tunes floating through the desert air. Thank you Kimkim for understanding my familys interests and creating the perfect trip for us!

We had a fantastic time in Morocco and felt well looked after by Megan and our driver Ibrahim ( who is a very good driver, by the way). We really appreciated the care taken to match us up with guides who spoke English well and were knowledgeable about the history and culture of Morocco. We definitely recommend Wanderlust. Kathryn

Hakim was very helpful identifying and booking the perfect itinerary for a once in a lifetime vacation for my son and I.
Our itinerary was everything we hoped it would be! Hakim took the time to create exactly what we were looking for - a mix of culture, history, and food. Hakim stayed in touch with us during our trip to make sure everything went smoothly.. Our itinerary was easy to follow, the hotels were in great locations with thoughtful and friendly staff. Thank you, Hakim...you made out dream trip a reality!

Now I must turn my attention to a review of our guide , Abdillah Aitbahman, (Abdul) our driver and guide, who ultimately made our trip seemingly the best it could have been. We traveled between seven main destinations for nine days, and throughout the whole time Abdul was the utmost patient, kind, helpful and personable, as well as of course being a proficient and professional driver, who speaks fluent English. All along the way pointing out and explaining countless sights and traditions that we saw as we drove, so many things we wouldn't have really seen or learned if Abdul wasn't so knowledgeable.
When in cities such as Fes and Chefchaouen where we needed a tour guide licensed for the medinas, he was ahead of connecting us with guides that were very informed, reliable and spoke English in addition to being highly personable and kind. Abdul wasn't just kind, highly knowledgeable on local history and traditions, he was particularly inviting and even shared music popular to locals, which is exactly what I would hope for in a more than ideal guide. We also got a whole reel of photos after the trip that he took of us along the way, which is just a bonus. We felt the need to make the point that we didn't just feel like we were being driven around by a driver, we felt like we were taking a road trip with a Moroccan friend.
He had the uncanny ability to anticipate our needs and plan accordingly.

Thank you for connecting us with such a friend, and specifically thanks to Abdul for making our journey through Morocco the most relaxed, informative, interesting and awesome it could have been!

All we might have done differently would be to stay for more than nine days in order to see a couple more cities such as Essaouira, possibly Tangier and tours into smaller villages. But the trip was made the best because of our driver, guide and friend Abdul. We wish to make sure that Kimkim, the local agency and potential Morocco visitors to know what a difference Abdul made being such a great driver, guide, friend and just a great guy.
