Overall, we were incredibly impressed by KimKim. We were quite uncertain about using a travel service as we're active adults accustomed to booking all of our own travel arrangements domestic or foreign. That said, working with Louis on our trip to Morocco was remarkably easy and efficient. He listened well to our wants and needs, and designed an itinerary that really allowed us to move throughout the country and enjoy not only the cities but the varied landscapes Morocco has to offer. We hiked to the peak of Mount Toubkal and even somehow spent a night in the Sahara while finding time to enjoy Marrakech too. Louis was instrumental in helping to make this happen during our planning stage. And, while we were traveling in Morocco, our driver, Said, was an incredible guide, ambassador and friend to us. He not only taught us so much about Moroccan culture but was generous enough to invite us into his mother's home to observe and celebrate the rituals in the Muslim holiday of Eid al-Adha. We can't say enough positive things about our experience. That said, our one piece of feedback is that if you're choosing to do the two day trek to summit Mount Toubkal (4167 meters) be sure to pack clothing for the cold temperatures you'll encounter during your ascent to the peak. Our local guides, Idriss, saved us by helping us rent ski jackets, hats, and gloves to ensure we were properly clothed for the experience. We do wish this was better communicated. That said, it's moments like these - the unforeseen - that also allow the kindness of strangers to come forward. We loved our time in Morocco and using KimKim.
