Morocco Travel Agents

We couldn’t have asked for a better experience for our once-in-a-lifetime mother-daughter trip than our Immersion Morocco tour. Our driver, Ahmed, was reliable, punctual, informative, funny, fun, and thoughtful. After 11 days and almost 2000 kilometers and many hours of sharing each other’s music and trading stories about families, sports, everyday customs and courtesies, it felt like we parted as friends who’d learned a lot about each other’s country.

Aside from some weather-related changes in itinerary, everything ran smoothly. All the hotels were lovely and in good locations for further exploration on our own. The city guides were professional and knowledgeable and added much to our understanding of what we were seeing, whether historical sites or architecture or everyday life in souks and villages. We really did feel “immersed” especially when we were welcomed into homes for home-cooked meals (always better than any restaurant) and a memorable excursion through a Rose Valley village.

We had tried to prepare for the trip by reading about Morocco but nothing came close to the detail and nuances we gained from Ahmed, our city guides, and just getting ourselves off the beaten path.

We highly recommend Morocco Immersion to anyone and will definitely use them again if we are lucky enough to return (which we DO plan to do someday!).

Majid did a phenomenal job planning our wonderful adventure in Morocco. He patiently listened to everything we wanted, thoughtfully refining the itinerary until we somehow managed to fit it all into our nine-day trip!

We were greeted at the airport by Hamid, our enthusiastic and amiable escort for the first few days as we explored Marrakech and the Agafay Desert. In Marrakech, we stayed at Riad Idra, an unbelievably beautiful and enchanting riad tucked inside the Medina and a fantastic home base for exploring the city. Our Marrakech guide, also named Hamid, was exceptionally knowledgeable and showed us all the highlights of the Medina, followed by an amazing evening food tour. We even ate snails!

Next, we headed to Alkamar Camp in the desert for a magical camel-riding and overnight glamping experience that was truly once in a lifetime.

From there, we were met by Ziad, who would be our driver for the majority of the trip. I cannot say enough wonderful things about him. Kind, attentive, and incredibly thoughtful, Ziad took care of us like an older brother every step of the way. He even came to pick us up from dinner one evening in Chefchaouen when I was simply too tired to tackle all the stairs!

Our next stop was Rabat, where we were guided by Osman, a native of the city who really brought it to life for us. He introduced us to all the major sights as well as some of his favorite hidden gems. We spent the night at The View Hotel, which was a luxurious and comfortable place to stay.

From Rabat, Ziad drove us to Fes, where we stayed at Palais Amani, another beautiful and charming riad. We especially enjoyed the hammam and the wonderful mint tea that greeted us upon arrival. Our one suggestion would be for kimkim to try to secure a larger room for two friends traveling together, as our room was a bit on the small side. Our guide in Fes took us to so many fascinating places, including workshops where local artisans create beautiful ceramics, which was a particular highlight.

Finally, we made our way to Chefchaouen, the enchanting Blue City. Our guide there was wonderful and introduced us to the many talented artisans and craftsmen who make the city so special. We stayed at the Taj Hotel, which was lovely, although it involved quite a climb up many stairs. If possible, we would recommend that future travelers be accommodated somewhere a little more centrally located within the Medina.

We were truly sad to say goodbye to Morocco after such an incredible adventure. Every destination offered something special, and the people who helped us along the way made the experience all the more memorable. From Majid's thoughtful planning to the wonderful guides, drivers, and accommodations, the entire trip was exceptional.

We would wholeheartedly recommend Majid and kimkim to anyone looking to plan a Moroccan adventure. You will be in wonderful hands!

We are forever grateful for the wonderful experience we have had with KimKim from the beginning of the planning process to the end of our travels last week. We thank Hakim and the OrionTrek team in Morocco as well as the US counterparts team including Kimberly and Greg. We partnered with great guides, private drivers and accomodations staff throughout our stay in Morocco with utmost attention to detail and impressive customer service! We can't thank them enough and can't wait to work with KimKim again in the near future!

Guided Tour in Marrakech

Marrakesh

We loved the private guided tour. We started with the Marjorelle gardens self guided tour which was great followed by walking through the souks and market. They were very crowded but was neat to see. Unfortunately we couldnt see the Madrasa Ben Youssef due to long lines and Bahia palace was closed I believe.

Traditional Hammam & Massage

Morocco

Please mention in future that it is a couples massage. Didn't realize we had to take off bathing suits and only wear a disposable underwear instead and fully naked x 2 people in a room together. We also were split up in groups of 4 so the women went first and the men went last. Great exfoliation and massage with argan oil was very nice. The women just transferred back via driver to Riad where we showered and the men walked back to our Riad and showered there before we headed to dinner.

Atlas Safari in Agafay and the High Atlas Mountains

Morocco

We loved this safari but wanted it to be shortened a litte bit so we can spend time at the White camel lodge before darkness fell.

Food

The lunch at the Berber house was very eye opening. Not like the one we had the day before. Much more rural and lot of flies were present.

Cooking Workshop & Local Food

Morocco

It took us a while to walk to the location of the cooking workshop. We had a very long wait to get started and then once we did start it was fun! Afterwards however the burners were malfunctioning and it was indicated that the tagines would be ready in 30-40 minutes but it took 2.5 hours instead so everyone was a little frustrated about that as we wanted to have some open free time in the afternoon to go explore other places which we didn't have time for.

What an amazing two weeks! Three longtime friends traveling through Morocco together was already going to be special, but Kimkim and Morocco Immersion made the experience even better than we imagined. I had previously used Kimkim for a trip to Patagonia and had such a great experience that I was confident using them again. They certainly did not disappoint.

Our itinerary took us through Rabat, Chefchaouen, Fes, Merzouga and the Sahara Desert, Dades Valley, Marrakech, Essaouira, and Casablanca. It was the perfect combination of organized experiences and free time, allowing us to see and experience so much while never feeling overly scheduled. We stayed primarily in riads, and the accommodations selected for us were excellent and added so much to the Moroccan experience.

Our driver Ahmed deserves a special shoutout. He was with us for 10 days and was simply wonderful. He kept us laughing, took great care of us, and made all those hours on the road part of the adventure rather than just transportation. By the end of our time together, it felt like we were traveling with a friend. He truly had a wonderful impact on our entire experience.

Nihad, our planning coordinator with Morocco Immersion, was fantastic as well. She was incredibly responsive to our requests and created an itinerary that was just right for us. We also spent a great day with Omar, who drove us to Casablanca.

One special memory was having the opportunity to spend time with Abdou and Sharon, the owners of Morocco Immersion, and their friends over a wonderful couscous lunch at their kasbah.

From the initial planning through the execution of the trip, everything was handled beautifully. It was seamless and stress-free, which allowed the three of us to simply relax, enjoy, and experience the beauty, culture, food, and hospitality of Morocco.

Thank you to Kimkim and the entire Morocco Immersion team for giving three longtime friends an unforgettable adventure!

What a trip!! It was my first visit to Morocco. We started with a cooking class in a home after we landed, and it was a fabulous warm welcome. We had a local celebrity provide our Marrakesh tour and we learned so much!!! Our fabulous driver answered every single question we had as he took us to the Atlas Mountains, the desert and our surfing destination on the coast. Morocco is gorgeous. What was the best part of the trip? The people!!! I hope to go again. Thanks for the planning that made it so great.
