Our guide Ismail made our trip. He was very knowledgeable, and gave us in-depth insight to urban and rural living, culture , religion, and Moroccan history. It was information that we would otherwise never have experienced. He was kind and had a great sense of humor . His concern for our safety was paramount and he was willing to assist us with anything that we needed. We would highly recommend KimKim for the tour aspect of a trip to Morocco and overwhelmingly recommend that you ask for Ismail.

Hotel Reviews
Riad Dar Dar
Rabat

This hotel out of all of the booked hotels, is in definite need of a renovation or updating of the rooms and bathrooms. The dipping pool was not used as it had a color to the water. The service and breakfast, however, was very good.

Beautiful Riad. Only problem is that they had a beautiful pool and it was hot but there was nowhere to lounge by the pool as all the tables around were for the restaurant. The lounges were up on a small deck which only fit 4 lounges and it was hot with no air flow because of the walls around it. Part of the restaurant should have been made into the pool lounges.

It was good to try different food but the order of the food could be changed so that you do t have the donuts before your meal. Rather have them after the main meal for dessert. The dinner place should have nicer seating out on a deck .
