Reda was the absolute best guide I have ever had! My friend and I were taking a birthday trip and selected Morocco as our destination. From the moment we met Reda, we knew he was an excellent match for our style of travel. As experienced travelers, we knew what we wanted to focus on and what we could skip. Between KimKim's booking center and Reda's advice, we customized the trip to end all trips. We saw so much, were able to immerse ourselves with the people, and culture and got to see some hidden gems that you don't get with a big tour. It's been six months and I am still raving about the awesomeness of it all!

We loved our driver, Said. He was very personable. He did seem to have a little trouble with time management. (He liked to stop for coffee breaks). But I suppose this is probably coming from me being American and him being Moroccan. I was disappointed to hear that the Casablanca mosque was closed on Friday because of a holiday. I feel that you should have known that it was a holiday and communicated that to us. You could have asked if our dates were flexible. We would have liked the...

We loved our driver, Said. He was very personable. He did seem to have a little trouble with time management. (He liked to stop for coffee breaks). But I suppose this is probably coming from me being American and him being Moroccan. I was disappointed to hear that the Casablanca mosque was closed on Friday because of a holiday. I feel that you should have known that it was a holiday and communicated that to us. You could have asked if our dates were flexible. We would have liked the opportunity to adjust our trip One day earlier or later to be able to visit the mosque. Zahra, in Fes, was amazing!! Wish she could’ve been our guide the entire trip. Visiting the artisan shops in Fez was one of the highlights of the trip for me. Our camel ride ended up being about an hour and a half. This was a too long. I think we might have enjoyed a Small ride around the camp and then getting there in a Jeep or ATV better. The trip was very fast paced, but could not be helped in order to see everything that we wanted to see. Wish we could’ve spent a second night in Ourzazate. That Kasbah would’ve been a great place to relax and maybe have a chance to visit the studios. Thank you for your understanding about the airport transfers and taking care of that.

Beautiful hotel, but horrible water pressure. My shower just barely trickled. It was also very warm to dine in the evening on the rooftop terrace. We were there the second week of September.
Cleanliness & Comfort
Very little water pressure for the shower.
Kasbah Isfoula
Ait Ben Haddou
Ismail so friendly and helpful. He was the check-in clerk, Porter, server, and bartender. He did such a great job! We wished we were able to spend a second night here because it seems so relaxing after our hectic trip.
Authenticity & Character
Love, the fact that all the rooms were named after movies made in the area and had props from those movies.
Location
it was the only hotel we stayed in that we parked right in front and did not have any difficulties bringing our luggage inside.
Staff
Ismail was the best!
Luxury Camp Chebbi
Merzouga
We were never told what time we had to leave the next morning. We were told that breakfast was from 7 to 9 a. We figured we had time to shower and pack after that. We were thinking that we would leave the camp around 10 AM. However,We were rushed out right after breakfast. Staff started asking us at 8:30 AM if we were ready to leave.
Authenticity & Character
Can’t believe we had a tiled bathroom in the middle of the desert
Beautiful spacious rooms, high ceiling in courtyard.
Our triple room had a seating area that accommodated the five of us which was very nice.
Staff
Mehdi went out of his way to make sure we had everything we asked for, even if it was late at night.
Location
Sometimes confusing to find our way back to it since it was in the middle of the medina
Cleanliness & Comfort
Shower did not get very hot. Only turned on hot water to have a lukewarm shower.
Authenticity & Character
Breakfast spread was amazing! Too much food.

Overnight in the Sahara Desert with Sunset Camel Ride
Morocco
Our camel ride was about an hour and a half, not the 45 minutes that was advertised. This was about one hour too long. I was sitting too far forward in the saddle, which is a metal frame, and was not told until about halfway through the trip. Also, we were never told what time we had to leave the camp the next morning. We were rushed out immediately after breakfast. We thought we had time to shower and pack after waking up for sunrise and then having breakfast immediately after. If we had known, we could’ve planned accordingly.

We felt a little rushed. Three of us were in the scrub room together. Habiba was amazing! She was the highlight of this experience.

Said was amazing! We loved Zara, in Fes.
Transport
Had a flat tire driving into Fes. Spare tire could not be removed because screw was stripped. Had to wait for someone to deliver a tire. Maintenance of equipment is a MUST!

Our trip was memorable and went smoothly. As per what was told to us the guide and driver was waiting for us at the airport. he picked us up and took us on our way. All the cities we were escorted to the Riyads by responsible representatives who took care of our stay there unitl the next time we meet the driver. The places we stayed were all clean and comfortable. Breakfast was sumptuous and served on time. We are vrey happy with Kimkim travels service.
