Ishmal was professional,personable & informative. Very pleasant personality. The Riad's were amazing,each one got better in each city.Especially, La Maison de Araibe. Highly recommend the Hammam,best massage ever & my first body scrub. Wish there was one in the U.S. The staff at all the Riad's were helpful & accomodating. The people of Morocco were welcoming. Loved Fes,Marrakesh a little too chaotic. I felt we needed a few more days for a little downtime. Dinner with the family was insightful & delicious however it would have been more enjoyable if it weren't just us & the host & hostess.
The desert experience could have been timed better since we missed the sunset because our group didn't take the advice of the guide & insisted on changing the spot he suggested, but awakened to a beautiful sunrise. The staff made my birthday celebration memorable. The restaurant selections were perfect.
Missed Casablanca drive by Mosque because our plane was delayed several hours,disappointing...
Suggestion, less time spent with vendors,fabricators even though we made some purchases but felt obligated to listen to very long dissertations.
An unpleasant situation arose at Marrakesh airport, our driver dropped us in the parking lot & arranged a porter to take our luggage without telling us there was a charge & when we got to check in the porter insisted on 10E which seemed unreasonable and we were blindsided.
All that aside, we would highly recommend KIM KIM & Majid!
Hotel Reviews
Beautiful rooms,setting & location. Staff were professional & accommodating. Be prepared for lots of steps but worth the climb!
Beautiful setting,rooms were authentic.
Beautiful & spacious rooms. Lots of authenticity in decor.
This Riad is the most beautiful of all! Our driver told us it is on the MUST SEE list.
Activity Reviews
Most interesting history & views... Lots of walking & steps. We did 17,000 walking steps. Worth it.
It was a longer then 7 hours & little time to get to desert to see sunset. We didn't get there until after 6 and sunset was around 7. Just barely made it with 3-4 minutes then our group wanted to relocate view against our & the guide's suggestion so we missed it.... Long camel ride then returned to camp in total darkness. Disappointed but loved the camel ride & the beautiful desert. Better experience then in Dubai
The host & hostess were very warm & arranged a musician to welcome us with song & dance. Very gracious husband & wife. . Host is owner of restaurant & the dinner was superior.
Make sure you arrive in ample time to not miss sunset. Desert and camel ride was great experience better then Dubai. We arrived very late & had a very short time to see sunset,missed it by about 3-4 minutes because 3 people in our group wanted to relocate view against guide & our apprehension.
The hike was arduous. did not realize we were climbing so high. Our guide made it special by showing us the flat where he was born.
Drive was scenic .Topography always changing
I am not in favor of eating in such a crowded area & vendor food. The restaurant stop,the lamb was dry & overcooked and the beef was not seasoned. View of the square from the rooftop was nice
We were very stressed having to dodge motorcycles & the souk was so redundant because we visited Fez and this was more of the same. No time to slowly meander to shop or pause . Just frenetic!
Somehow was expecting to see more flowers. Saw lots of cactus & Palm trees which we see daily in our area.
Thank you so much for your detailed review! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed your experience with KIM KIM and Under Moroccan Sun Team.
We're especially glad that you appreciated Ishmal's professionalism, the amazing Riads (especially La Maison de Araibe!), the Hammam experience, and the welcoming nature of the Moroccan people.
We understand your disappointment with the missed Casablanca mosque drive-by and the unpleasant situation at Marrakech airport. We'll definitely... Read more
