Magical Morocco

May 26 - Jun 6, 2023
We just came back from a 12-day trip to Morocco, and it was one of our best travel experiences ever.
It was our first expedition in a Muslim country and we wanted to make sure we were given all the tools and tips to discover it under the best conditions, with respect and reverence.
We provided Hakim with a detailed account of the type of experience we were hoping to realize (a cultural and societal introduction) and he did an amazing job of crafting the unforgettable tour with the right guides in each major city.
But ultimately, it is our driver Erdwan who made this trip simply perfect and worry-free. From the moment he picked us up at the airport he took care of us every step of the way. With his warm personality, his genuine desire to make things easy for us, and his serious professionalism, he is a tremendous asset for Kimkim. He made us feel like royalty and coordinated everything around us with simple efficiency.
In 12 days, we drove hundreds of kilometers and saw many aspects of a rich and fascinating country. We learned an enormous amount about the history of the place - our guides were erudite, friendly and very interesting.
We stayed in beautiful places (except the last hotel in Casablanca, close to the airport, a brutal way to finish a magical trip as we were not ready to be so practical and wanted to fairytale to last until the very end).
We could not have hoped for a better vacation.
Hotel Reviews
A stunning property in a fairytale environment!
it was the least exciting place of our entire stay I was sad to finish our trip there the bathroom did not smell fresh; I felt I was already back in New York and I understand it was practical for us to stay there with a morning flight the next day but still...
charming, authentic; a very good introduction to beautiful Moroccan hospitality.
An absolutely stunning place!!
A unique experience with the Berberes and an unforgettable camel ride through the dunes.
The property is gorgeous, but I had mixed feeling about that place. It did not have the cachet and the attention to detail we experienced at the other hotels. I felt it could be so much better - the food and the staff's attitude. Hard to pinpoint. Just a 3 stars despite the exceptional garden.
Another amazing hotel, superbly decorated, and superbly staffed.
Activity Reviews
we were very impressed with Rabat and it gave us a very good first impression
We loved this small village and our young guide was funny and personable. Not your typical guide, but he easily conveyed his love for his town and gave us wonderful insights into the Moroccan way of life. We enjoyed him very much.
Fes is a magical city. We liked it better than Marrakech. Our guide was fantastic; very knowledgeable, very friendly, very warm.
Volubilis is a must-see. Our guide was friendly but a little bit on the light side; we learned more about Volubilis from your Fes and Marrakech guides. Unforgettable visit, nevertheless.
I felt sorry for our guide because this food tour was a misunderstanding. We were under the impression that we would have small tastes of unknown specialties over several stops, followed by dinner somewhere. But at our first stop, we were offered more food than we normally eat in one day. Everything was succulent, but the quantities were absurd and that took the wind out of our sail. I guess our guide was used to more hungry tourists and I know he was disappointed.
a fantastic experience in an authentic place with a very good staff
By the end of our trip, we were exhausted and I was disheartened by the hotel we were staying at. Casablanca was a chaos of traffic jam and confusion. Thank God, our driver was patient and always protective of us. Our guide was a very interesting fellow but we did not benefit from his knowledge as much as we could have.
Our guide was wonderful Marrakech is a very interesting city but a bit frantic compared to other places we visited.
