Morocco Travel Agents

We are almost back home in Chicago after an amazing 2 weeks in Morocco. Abdullah did a fantastic job choosing activities, tailoring the excursions to what we requested and picking wonderful places to stay in each location. The scenery of the country was so varied, and all beautiful, but ai was most blown away by the people. Everyone was so kind - everywhere we went! Our driver Farid took wonderful care of us and let us adjust times and activities along the way. I would definitely recommend KimKim travel to anyone wanting to customize a trip - and if you ever though about going to Morocco - just do it!

Our family of four had a fantastic 10 day June trip to Morocco in large part due to the planning assistance of kimkim (Abdel and Said) and the reliability, good cheer and guidance of our wonderful driver, Mustapha. The accommodations and activities/excursions were as described (or better!) and our local guides were knowledgable and friendly. We especially enjoyed our Sahara camel riding experience, our cooking class in Marrakech, our various kasbah visits and our time in Essaouria. We had some long travel days (as planned), but the multiple cultural pit stops along the way made the travel time much more manageable and interesting.

After attempting to book a vacation to Morocco ourselves, we realized that we were slightly out of our depth. Finding detailed information was hard, so we ended up contacting multiple travel organizations to get quotes and analyze their suggestions. One individual stood out among the rest - Majid. Majid was the most responsive tour planner we've ever encountered. He was quick to respond, and he always addressed the details or issues we had. We can't say enough good things about our trip - it was magical.

Speaking of being unable to say enough good things, we can't say enough good things about our driver and sometimes tour guide, Moha. He was incredibly detail-oriented, always flexible, and always put us ahead of his own interests. In fact, we can honestly say that his only concern was whether or not we were having a good time. From start to finish, he literally took care of everything. When we wanted to change something on a whim, he made it happen and never gave us any indication that it was not possible. And you never had to ask him for something twice - he always remembers. When we went to Merzouga, he was kind enough to show us the local market, and we even had the opportunity to have lunch with his family! It's those personal touches that make things so special. If you plan a trip to Morocco via Majid, ask for Moha - he's the kind of guide that makes you want to come back on vacation, so long as you get him again as your guide. And if you are lucky enough to get him as your guide, Inshallah, be sure to take his suggestions along the way based on the timing, weather, etc, as my wife and I said throughout the trip, "In Moha We Trust."

Finally, we would be remiss if we didn't mention some of the local guides that we met throughout our experience. This is another nice touch to what Majid plans and Moha organizes: a local guide who lives in the place you are touring. Nabil gave us the perfect introduction to Morocco in Rabat, providing us with a detailed, rich history of the country's capital. Abdou gave us a tour of the Roman City of Volubilis, highlighting its most important architectural features and mosaics (and kindly gave my wife his hat, which she still wears to shade her on a sunny day). Hakim masterfully navigated us through the maze-like medina in Fes on a historical and food tour, ending at a community oven where we had freshly baked Moroccan pizza. Finally, if you are lucky enough to have a stopover in Dades or the surrounding area, be sure to go on a long hike with Mohamed, a local who knows the area like the back of his hand, is impossibly kind, and loves his job.

This was a truly unforgettable experience, and thanks to all those involved!

Wow! Morocco was incredible! Made more incredible by the team at KimKim, Original Travels in Morocco, and our incredible driver. KimKim got us hooked up with Original Travels in Morocco, and they handled the logistics of our trip, which included hotels and tours in Marrakech, the High Atlas mountains, the Sahara desert, Fes, and Casablanca. We had a driver, Reda, who picked us up at the Marrakech airport, and he basically looked after us and our stuff until we said goodbye at the Casablanca airport. All of our accommodations were fabulous, and the nicer ones were quite nice, indeed. All were clean, comfortable, and safe. Our arranged tours were uniformly excellent, other than a misunderstanding with one guide revolving around payment for entrance fees, but that was handled internally, and no hard feelings were left. Food was incredible! All suggested restaurants were outstanding, although we ate many of our meals (especially breakfasts and dinners) at our hotels, which proved to be both wise and worthwhile. We did not have any hotel/riad confirmations prior to the trip, but they weren't needed as all accommodations and reservations were 100% taken care of. Should mention we all got a little GI bug, so bring your Cipro and be careful what goes down the hatch. Our guide, Reda, however, absolutely made the trip. Not only did he get us from place to place and make sure our bags did as well (this even included transport by mule when necessary!), he was quite interested in talking to us about his country, answering questions, providing guidance, always on time, always pleasant. Even when our questions could have been taken as probing. So, off you're reading this wondering if KimKim is the way to go to Morocco, our group would uniformly endorse it. Pull the trigger. Go. Use KimKim. And I hope your trip is as wonderful as ours.

Marrakech Evening Food Tour

Marrakesh

This was fun, although I'm pretty sure I got my bout of diarrhea from the snail soup. Maybe I'm wrong. But the experience was amazing, with good food and good guidance. We had several stops as "appetizers" before going to a rather out-of-the-way restaurant for an excellent meal on their rooftop.

Half-Day Guided Tour of Marrakech

Marrakesh

The tour was interesting and worthwhile, but we had a different sort of issue. We were under the impression that the tour was completely paid for, but there were two places we had to pay entrance fees to enter. Our guide apparently forgot to bring money. So, we paid, with the understanding that he would reimburse us after the tour. Then, when the tour was completed, we reminded him of the reimbursement, and he said he would give the money to our driver. I let our driver know of the situation. But then the guide showed up, quite upset that we had informed the driver of the situation. He then hesitatingly reimbursed our 800 dirhams (about $80), saying something about a tip, despite the fact that my traveling partner had just handed him a generous tip. It all ended well after a few more uncomfortable moments, mostly because I gave him another tip, but this interaction turned an otherwise enjoyable visit into something that left us scratching our heads.

Outstanding experience. Our hosts were professional, funny, fun, and gave excellent guidance. We did all of the prep and cooking ourselves, which added to the fun. And the food was yummy!

Morocco Last Nomads Experience: Tea, Tales & Desert Adventures

Merzouga

Shocking. Of all the places in Morocco to create a community, this would seem to be the least likely. Harsh, remote, no water, etc. But I guess that's what tire looking for. Anyway, quite insightful look at an incredible situation.

The drive was interesting and fun, but the camel ride out to our luxury desert camp was the highlight. Fabulous experience, even if it took a few days for my rear end to recover!

Fun drive. Beware the monkeys on the side of the road and the men who give you peanuts to feed the monkeys with, while grabbing your phones to take pics, all for the one-time low-low price of a tip. No evidence of anything being taken, but it was an unsettling experience.
