Our family of four used KimKim/Original Travels to create a 9-day custom tour of Morocco that exceeded our expectations. Communication with Abdellah and Said at Original Travels was outstanding from beginning to end, the selected local guides were all excellent, and adjustments to our itinerary were made seamlessly when requested.
Our enjoyment of the trip was influenced by Karim, our exceptional driver/guide, who truly made our experience in Morocco unforgettable. He was always punctual, incredibly flexible with our schedule, and consistently went above and beyond to make sure our needs were met, including a side quest to find a specific piece of pottery.
What truly sets Karim apart is his cheerful personality and genuine willingness to share personal stories and deep cultural insights. His stories brought Morocco to life in a way no guidebook ever could, and we always felt enriched by everything he shared.
The vehicle was always clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, making even long drives relaxing. Most importantly, we always felt completely safe and in excellent hands with Karim behind the wheel.
If you are looking for a reliable, knowledgeable, warm, and professional driver/guide in Morocco, we cannot recommend Karim highly enough. KimKim, Original Travels, and Karim, truly made our journey special.

​My recent trip to Morocco was, without a doubt, the most incredible travel experience my partner and I have ever had. From the ancient medinas to the stunning Atlas Mountains and the endless Sahara dunes, every single moment was pure magic. This seamless adventure was made possible by the truly outstanding service provided by Orion Trek Voyages.

​My recent trip to Morocco was, without a doubt, the most incredible travel experience my partner and I have ever had. From the ancient medinas to the stunning Atlas Mountains and the endless Sahara dunes, every single moment was pure magic. This seamless adventure was made possible by the truly outstanding service provided by Orion Trek Voyages.
​We must start by giving our immense gratitude to our driver, Adil. Adil was much more than just a driver—he was the calm, knowledgeable, and reliable backbone of our entire journey. Over the 12 days, he expertly navigated the long roads between cities like Fes, Merzouga, and Marrakech, always ensuring our safety and comfort. His professionalism, warm smile, and willingness to stop at every picturesque vista made the extensive travel feel like part of the adventure, not just a transfer. He is a genuine treasure and a stellar representation of Moroccan hospitality.
​The highlight of our guided tours was absolutely our time in Marrakech with Hanyn. Hanyn is an extraordinary tour guide! He brought the chaotic beauty of the Red City to life, guiding us through the labyrinthine souks, historical palaces, and the vibrant Jemaa el Fna square with expert knowledge and infectious enthusiasm. His deep understanding of the city's history, culture, and local secrets gave us insights we could never have found on our own. Our 6-hour historical sightseeing tour felt like a fascinating journey through time. If you find yourself in Marrakech, request Laghrib—he is simply the best in the business!
​Thank you to Orion Trek Voyages for crafting an itinerary that provided both adventure and luxurious comfort (the Hammam experience on Day 11 was the perfect end!). This was a bucket list trip that surpassed all expectations and will hold a special place in our memory forever.

Highlights:
​Driver: Adil (5/5 stars - the ultimate professional and companion)

Kenzi Basma Hotel
Casablanca
Good first night place to stay. Highly suggest paying for their dinner after a long day of travel.
Authenticity & Character
I mean, it's a hotel so it's hard to rate authenticity and character.
Riad la Perle de la Médina
Fès
Have to admit, we were skeptical at first when we checked in about the staff (sorry I can't remember their names). But they grew on us and are now core memories of our trip. If you know, you know.
Riad Madu Desert Camps
Merzouga
I know this sounds crazy, but the tent was probably the nicest room we stayed in the whole trip. Not to discredit any of the riads, I'm simply talking in terms of amenities and size far exceeding expectations. The food, the staff, the clear night sky all amazing. There were 2 things we did that my wife and I said we would never do, but we did. 1. Dance at the drum circle. 2. Play the drums at the drum circle. Both made possible by the friendly and encouraging staff.
Location
The Sahara desert!
Staff
We're grateful they got us out of our comfort zone to participate in the dancing and drumming.
Riad Tamdakhte
Ait Ben Haddou
Friendliest and most personable staff during our entire trip. Beautiful location!
Staff
I can't remember his name, but the guy running the show was the best!
Dar Baraka & Karam
Marrakech
Clean and cozy, great location.

Guided Tour in Marrakech
Marrakesh
Have to admit, this tour was on the tail end of our trip, so it was becoming hard to see and experience new things. Our guide, Laghrib, made that a non-issue. He had so much knowledge about everything. It was unlike every other tour we had where the guide had a preset of what to see/do. Laghrib was able to pick up on what we wanted to see and took us there. We could have listened to Laghrib talk all day as he had a very unique perspective on everything.

Full-Day Hike in Imlil Village, Return to Marrakech
Morocco
We thoroughly enjoyed this hike. Stunning views all around and lunch at a Berber house was delicious! Little did we know that it was going to be 7 miles, however I suspect the guide can cater to those not looking to put in that much mileage.
Food
The tagine at the Berber house was delicious!
