Kimkim put together another great trip for us!
Morocco
|
Jun 29 - Jul 5, 2024
This was my second time using kimkim to plan a trip and I have to say, it has been a great experience each time. This trip just for my husband and me and we had a just shy of a week to see some of Morocco before having to meet up with our daughter in Malaga, Spain. Hamza put together a trip that allowed us to see a lot but didn't feel hectic. Our driver, Reda, was wonderful. He spoke English very well, was fun to chat with and always very kind and polite when answering our many questions about the country and culture. I wish we had had more time. A particular highlight was Chefchaoen, the blue city, which was so beautiful and charming. The riad we stayed at was beautiful and well located and the hammam there was a great experience as well. I also enjoyed our guide in Fes very much as he is a scholar and had a lot to share about the relationship between Morocco and the Jewish population, which was fascinating and heartwarming. The only thing that was a disappointment was that we had planned a surf outing at the end and it was not the right season for a real surfer to catch waves. We ended up going for a swim and that was lovely. Next time we'll check on surf seasons before trying to integrate this activity into a trip.
Hotel Reviews
Lina Ryad was beautiful, clean, had comfortable beds, great service and good food. We also loved the hammam.
Riad Ghita is beautiful with rich tilework in the rooms and in the sitting area. We took dinner on the terrace our first night which was delicious and fun. Our room felt very lush and authentic. The location was good in that it was at the edge of the medina so it's didn't feel so overwhelming as it might if one was deep in the medina.
Activity Review
This one was a miss for us because we booked this since my husband is a surfer. Unfortunately, this time of year (July) is not the season for decent waves so this one didn't work out for us. It also sounds like there are better places to surf in Morocco. We ended up going for a lovely swim at the beach there so all was not lost. If you are a "real" surfer, do your research in advance!
Hello Alice,
Thank you so much for sharing your fantastic experience with us! We're happy to hear that you had a great experience with Reda.
We apologize for the disappointment with the planned surfing. Your feedback is valuable, and we will ensure to provide better guidance on seasonal activities in the future. We're glad that the swim turned out to be lovely.
We truly appreciate your kind words ,and we can't wait to welcome you back for another memorable journey.
Best,
Hamza
