Thank you Original Travels/Kimkim For The Best Trip I Have Ever Taken!!!
Morocco has been on my bucket list and thanks to Original Traveler, I made it happen! After so much research and reading endless reviews, I chose Kimkim to help me book this detailed and lengthy trip. From the beginning, Said was extremely patient, thorough, and answered my MANY questions. Said made himself available throughout the entire process, including several changes I had to make due to date changes and where to fly out of at end of trip. I was so impressed with Said’s kindness, professionalism, communication, and time he took to ensure I was satisfied and happy with my trip itinerary. Said speaks perfect English and will ensure to tailor the trip you want! Said was in Essaouira towards the end of our trip and even took time to have lunch with me for feedback from our trip. I feel like we have made a friend for life with Said. That’s the care/treatment you feel with Said. I highly recommend utilizing this personal tour to include Karim, the driver/guide extraordinaire! My trip consisted of myself, my daughter, and her boyfriend. We stayed in 10 different cities, including the Sahara desert, which required lots of driving and time spent with Karim. Having our own vehicle was extremely comfortable and made it personal. From day 1 when I met Karim, he exuded kindness, professionalism and charm (Did I mention he’s handsome as well?). Karim speaks perfect English and is so proud of his beautiful country. I have a tendency to ask too many questions but he was never bothered by it. Karim took such good care of us and without him, our trip would not have been as amazing as it was. When we were in Rabat, we took a taxi to the old Medina that evening and our taxi driver could not speak English (Google translate was not working). I called Karim and he translated for me to ensure we would arrive safely to our destination. Karim also picked us up that evening and took us back to our hotel. In Chefchaouen, my daughter experienced a medical incident on the hike to the waterfall. She was on the verge of passing out and thanks to Karim, we were able to get her help and out of there safely. Karim made our trip so beautiful and extra special that the time flew by. I learned so much about the people, culture, food, and music through Karim that I am forever grateful. Thank you Karim for showing me all the beauty of your country, including your culture and people. For being who you are and for opening up your heart to us. I will never forget you and hope we stay in touch. My favorites: A must see Blue City(Chefchaouen), eating with a local family in their home-Fes, visiting the nomadic family in the anti-Atlas mountains. The Sahara desert with food and music in the camp. Visiting the beautiful Berber woman and seeing how they make the Moroccan rugs in the Atlas Mountains. Our food tour in Marrakech with Said, seeing how argan oil is made one nut at a time outside of Essaouira, and the beauty of Essaouira with learning how to make Tagine with Said and his family! I have had the opportunity to travel to more than 30 countries and I honestly feel this was the best trip I have ever taken. I owe this to Said and Karim for structuring the trip the way I wanted and for providing us an immersive experience that you just don’t get on average trips. I left feeling that I could live there and that I needed more time in Morocco. Morocco will always hold a special place in my heart!
