Our trip to Morocco was a great experience. Yassine helped us put together an itinerary in less than 2 weeks to departure date since we got a very late start to planning. Everything was taken care of as per our expectations. We were assigned a personal car & driver Said who was with us for all 9 days right from pick up to drop off at the Casablanca airport. Said was a fantastic driver and guide and we truly had a great time because of him.

We went to our first trip to Morocco and it was a blast. We planned it very late with near a week’s notice — and Kimkim did a great job of organizing it.
Riad in Fes was right in the old town and was a lovely experience. Their breakfast was awesome!
Glamping in Sahara was the clear highlight of the trip — the sand dunes, the camel ride, sunrise and sunset.
Marrakech was a rich city with culture and class. The hotel in Marrakech (Kenzi Garden) was comfy even if not a Riad. A special mention about Rashid our guide who was super-enthusiastic about everything Marrakech and quite funny to boot.
Air-Bin-Haddou was a good spot as well — wish we hadn’t stopped overnight there. It wasn’t a great hotel — and we could have spent an extra day in Marrakech.

The guide in Fes wasn’t great — she was patronizing and we had the feeling that we were constantly being sold to (in the shops we were taken to) and sold against (she kept talking about the Riad folks are bad and that they’d sell us stuff, when they were actually very nice)…

Overall, it was a very memorable trip — thanks for organizing this at short notice.

Our 9-Day Morocco Trip with KimKim Travel and MOBT Global

My husband and I recently had the pleasure of experiencing a fantastic 9-day trip to Morocco, organized by KimKim Travel and MOBT Global. The entire journey was thoughtfully planned, smooth, and packed with unforgettable experiences. From start to finish, we couldn’t have asked for a better way to explore this stunning country.

Trip Planning with Yassine (KimKim Travel)
The planning phase of the trip was exceptional. Yassine, our travel specialist at KimKim, was incredibly helpful in tailoring our itinerary to match our interests. He was responsive, offered great advice on what to see and do, and ensured we had the right balance of cultural exploration, relaxation, and adventure. From the bustling streets of Marrakesh to the serene blue of Chefchaouen, every destination was carefully chosen to give us a well-rounded experience of Morocco. The biggest highlight was spending Christmas Eve riding camels and camping in the Sahara Desert—WOW, what an experience! Our only wish is that we had more time to fully soak it all in.

Our Driver: Souifiane
A huge highlight of our trip was our driver, Souifiane. For 9 days, he was with us every step of the way, making sure we were comfortable, informed, and safe as we traveled across Morocco. Souifiane was not just a driver, but a guide in his own right—his knowledge of Morocco’s culture, history, and hidden gems made the trip even more enriching. Whether we were navigating the winding streets of Fes or cruising through the desert, he was always punctual, friendly, and willing to go the extra mile to make our experience better. This included his recommendation for a Hammam spa—an unforgettable experience that will never be repeated.

The Destinations
• Marrakesh: The vibrant heart of Morocco, Marrakesh was the perfect start to our trip. From the souks of the Medina to the majestic Jardin Majorelle, we explored the city's lively markets, historical palaces, and stunning gardens. The energy of this city is electric, and we loved every moment of it.
• Ouarzazate: Known as the "Gateway to the Sahara," Ouarzazate offered a glimpse into Morocco's cinematic history. The Atlas Film Studios were a highlight, and the nearby Ait Benhaddou, a UNESCO World Heritage site, was a spectacular stop—straight out of a film set.
• Merzouga: No trip to Morocco would be complete without visiting the Sahara Desert. Riding camels into the dunes of Merzouga at sunset was an unforgettable experience. We spent the night in a desert camp under the stars, which was absolutely magical. The silence and beauty of the desert were unlike anything I’ve ever experienced.
• Fes: Fes was an intriguing mix of old and new. The labyrinthine Medina was a maze of ancient history, with vibrant artisan workshops, centuries-old mosques, and the famous tanneries. It was a fascinating place to dive deep into Morocco’s cultural heritage.
• Chefchaouen: The "Blue City" was a highlight of the trip. Walking through its narrow streets lined with blue-washed buildings felt like stepping into a dream. The tranquility of the town, combined with its picturesque setting in the Rif Mountains, made it a perfect place to relax and explore.
• Casablanca: Our final stop, Casablanca, offered a contrast to the other cities—modern, cosmopolitan, and bustling. The Hassan II Mosque, perched on the edge of the Atlantic, was an awe-inspiring sight and a perfect way to cap off our trip.

Overall, this trip to Morocco exceeded all my expectations. The seamless coordination with Yassine and the excellent service provided by Souifiane made everything easy and stress-free. The country itself is mesmerizing, with a rich cultural heritage, diverse landscapes, and incredibly warm people. I highly recommend KimKim Travel for anyone looking to explore Morocco in a truly personalized and immersive way.
Thank you, Yassine and Souifiane, for making this journey so unforgettable. We will definitely be back for more adventures in this beautiful country!

Outstanding trip. We did a nine day tour (Casablanca, Rabat, Chefchaouen, Volubilis/Meknes, Fez, Merzouga/Sahara, Ouarzazate/Aït Benhaddou, and Marrakech). Our driver for the whole trip, Younes, was incredible. His many years of touring was great for experiencing the best places for Moroccan pastries, best restaurant recommendations, and local history/color. We stayed in Riads throughout (except Ait Benhaddou hotel), all were great, and relatively easy to access when in medinas.

Chefchaouen tour with Aalae was really very good, lots of history and engaging discussion; rooftop dining in center of city was great. Volubilis was definitely worth the trip with good guide. Fes was a highlight with great all-day guide Fatima Zahra, great food and trip to hammam. Merzouga/Sahara was great with camel ride and overnight tent stay; in retrospect, we might have swapped out a day in Marrakech to have stayed longer in desert. Ouarzazate highlight was Ait Benhaddou. In Marrakech we did food tour and full day tour which were very good; Hatim from Morocco Off the Beaten Track (MOBT) joined the tour and made it enjoyable (he also did a great job of planning out the overall tour). Cooking class in Marrakech was fun, but did take up a fair part of the day.

Overall, incredible trip, great experience, in large part due to great care from Younes.

We had a great time in Morocco. The hotels, the food and the people were great. The country is beautiful, it has a great variety of ecosystems. The country's history came to life during the trip. Younes Bouabid our driver/guide who was with us throughout the trip, was wonderful. He was very courteous, helpful and available at any time of the day or night to answer questions or take us to additional locations that were not on the itinerary. He took us to local restaurants, off the beaten path, where we could experience local food at the places where locals eat. He got very good guides in the cities that we didn't have. He was always happy to answer any questions and advice on how to improve our experiences in Morocco. His advice, warnings and recommendations were priceless.
We felt very safe traveling with him even in the most remote areas of the country. It was a great experience.
I highly recommend Younes. If we return to Morocco we will definitely look for him to be our driver/guide again.

Yassine our local specialist, along with the booked driver aka local tour guide in disguise, Said Misser, for our 15 day trip in Morocco , really made our trip an unforgettable experience!

Yassine is so communicative, helpful, proactive, flexible and anticipates our needs - he made the planning part of it seem so effortless! It just relied on my two friends and I to make decisions, which was the only hard part of it. In fact - I previously worked with Yassine on an attempt to travel to Morocco. It fell through on my end, but because Yassine was so great to work with then, I immediately thought and requested to work with him again on this trip!

Said, our local driver from Casablanca, was with us the entire 15 days of the trip. We got along really well and he was someone we didnt even know we needed. It was the 3 of us women and he made us feel safe in a place where we all have heard mix things about traveling as a woman in this part of the country. He was also helpful in making more local less touristy recommendations for activities - he knew us well. His English is on point and it helped us conversate really well. He is also hospitable, personable and just so knowledgeable about his home town/country that has allowed us to learn so much of the Moroccan and Muslim culture. If it wasnt for him to allow us to connect with him and people there, the trip honestly would not have been the same and probably a bit more touristy. This is what truly made the trip above any other trips I've gone to and I travel frequently! (side note: we grew attached to Said by the end of the trip and we were sad to have had to say goodbye!)

A quick note - through Yassine, he booked several local tour guides for certain cities and events like Fatima for a food tour in Fes - she was amazing and so supportive of us women, and honestly can't remember the other local tours in other cities but we had a few more. Said helped us with smaller tours that made it more meaninful. We stayed in 9 cities and saw probably about 11-12 cities total.

also this is my second trip using KimKim and can't say enough good things about their services. You do pay extra but it is worth every penny! Use Kimkim when you dont have time to plan with people to take ensure you have an amazing trip - and reach out to Yassine for a Morocco trip and request for Said Misser for your driver!!!

thank you so much Said, Yassine, Kimkim for an unforgettable trip!!!

Our primary driver Younes was amazing. He was very capable, respectful and caring. We enjoyed our tour guides from Rabat, Fez, and Volubilis. Our guide for Marrakech was good but we were under the weather and hence the tour was less impactful.

After our trip and speaking with other travelers, we would have done a differ ent itinerary. We did not like Marrakech as it was very touristy. We would have appreciated input from Yassine that we should spend 2 days in Merzuoga and dropped the amount of time in Marrakech to 2 x 1/2 days which would have been plenty.

Yassine and Said (Driver) were amazing!

Yassine provided great information with short turnaround times before and during our trip.

Said, our driver in Morocco, exceeded my expectations! Said is one of the most kind and thoughtful people I have ever met in my life. I felt very safe and comfortable during my two week trip, and it was really because of Said and his exceptional service and personality. His English is also great - his pronunciation and grammar were exceptional! It was very easy to understand him. I felt like I was talking to an American. Said is also really more than just a driver; he is now a lifelong friend, and he should really be a tour guide because he provided us with great information about his country and shared many personal stories to share about Moroccan culture and history. My friends and I cried when we had to part ways with Said because we enjoyed his company so much. The only complaint I have is that Said's boss assigned him to another job for our last day. Therefore, we got assigned a different driver our last day, and Said was not able to drop us off at the airport. I wish we just had Said the entire trip. Anyone would be lucky to work with Said! I am also hoping you can forward this review to Said and Said's boss. Said deserves all the great recognition in the world because he really went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of during our trip! If not, please let me know who I can contact to make sure this information gets passed along to Said and his boss. Thank you!
