When we had decided to travel to Morocco in December, we started doing research and looking for a trip that worked with our schedule. After being unable to find a group tour that worked with our dates, we tried kimkim, which we had not used before.
From our first correspondence with them, we found the website easy to use, the responses prompt, and the willingness and ability to create an itinerary based on what we wanted to see and do incredible. They would offer suggestions ranging from budget ideas to luxury options, additional activities in the areas we wanted to stop, and plenty of additional info ranging from tipping practices to packing guides.
When we landed in Casablanca, we easily found our guide Soufian at the airport. During our eight days together he was our driver, our guide, and answered questions from cultural history to restaurant recommendations. He was fantastic and I would recommend him to anyone traveling to Morocco.
Our trip To Morocco was well organized. The itinerary was planned well, the communication with the office, and once in country with our guide, was excellent; and all of this was done at a fair price.

Hotel Reviews
Tiziri Luxury Camp
Merzouga

I have stayed in the desert twice before (once in Egypt and once in Jordan), but neither was like our experience at Tiziri. The facilities and service here truly make this a luxury experience. The time here was well organized and the staff were fantastic.

Authenticity & Character
We felt as if we were exposed to a true Berber experience.
Location
The desert. It is wonderful : )
Staff
They were friendly, polite, and accommodating.
Cleanliness & Comfort
Tiziri is much more than a tent in the desert!
Riad Salam Fes
Fes

The riad is a wonderful escape from the business of the city.

Authenticity & Character
Location
Hard to say, there just didn't seem to be much within walking distance.
Staff
They were friendly and polite, but weren't able to answer many questions.
Cleanliness & Comfort
Lina Ryad & Spa
Chefchaouen

Fantastic luxury stay in Chefchaouen. Once you enter this ryad, you'll forget that you just stepped in off of a small alley. Everything in here is luxurious and they offer every amenity you would want at a modern hotel.

Authenticity & Character
Location
Positioned just off of the main walking path/street in the old town.

Cleanliness & Comfort
Hotel Xaluca Dades
Boumalne

In Dades, you are in a fairly isolated area, but this hotel offers everything you need. The restaurant offers grand buffets, there are multiple common rooms, there is a large pool area, and the rooms are modern and comfortable.

Authenticity & Character
Location
Right on the edge of a cliff overlooking the city.

Elegancia Riad Boutique & SPA
Marrakech

Our favorite riad in Morocco! Not because the others were lacking, but because the Elegancia truly lives up to its name. Tucked away in a narrow alley, this luxury accommodation offers everything. The staff were friendly and helpful during our entire stay, the rooms were comfortable and clean, the lobby is welcoming and beautiful, and the rooftop is a fantastic place to relax. I couldn't recommend the Elegancia more to anyone visiting Marrakech.

Authenticity & Character
Gorgeous Moroccan decorations.
Location
Walking distance to the medina and numerous restaurants.
Staff
So friendly and helpful.
Cleanliness & Comfort
Offers every modern amenity you would want.

Unfortunately the mosque was closed, but it was a beautiful sight and I would recommend anyone visiting Casablanca to stop here.
