Three middle age American women set out on a two week Moroccan adventure and booked through KimKim. KimKim helped us plan our itinerary and then worked with Moroccan Immersion , who was our on the ground tour operator. Everything about the trip was perfect. Nihad was our planning contact at KimKim on the front end and did a stupendous job. Our driver, Ahmed, was with us for over 10 days and he became a friend. We even have a WhatsApp group chat now! We had a few unusual travel complications and cofounders Sharon and Abdou even brought us to their lovely Kasbah to for lunch. From our drivers (Omar was also amazing) to tour guides, the attention to detail and care was so impressive. I can't recommend KimKim enough and their partnership with Morocco Immersion.

I had never used Kimkim before, but I am likely to in the future. From start to finish, everything just went smoothly. Two years ago when we went to Kenya and Tanzania (using another agency), we had a series of disaster after disaster. My wife and I kept looking at each other this time and wondering when everything was going to fall apart. Spoiler alert: It never did. From the initial planning on where in Morocco we wanted to go, to constant communication with Nihad our trip planner in the time leading up to it, everything just worked.

Our driver was amazing, knowledgeable, and got us from place to place safely, and was also a wealth of knowledge about Morocco in general. The city guides were incredible and patient, answering all of our questions.

We told our trip planner that we really didn't want the "tourist experience." In other words, we didn't want to be with 30 other people following a guide holding a flag aloft shuffling us from place to place. We didn't want to see Morocco as Americans. We wanted to understand from Moroccans what made Morocco special to them. And Kimkim delivered.

I would definitely choose Kimkim again.

My wife and I grew up on government cheese. Normally, a place like this wouldn't even let us on the property! We had so much space - even a sitting cave! The grounds could take an entire day to discover. It is a beautiful hotel, and likely deserves the comma in the price. ;)

As this was our first trip with Kimkim we were not sure what to expect in terms of service and quality of experiences and accommodations. After completing our two-week trip to Morocco though, we were in large part exceptionally pleased with the entire trip experience, although a couple of the accommodations might have been less than advertised. However, this was Africa, so our expectations were mostly commensurate with our locale. From the very beginning of the planning and all through the time we were in-country, our local specialist Majid was always available and checked in with us almost every day to make sure we were enjoying our trip and to offer advice and assistance whenever needed. We made a few on-the-spot changes to our schedule, and he was always accommodating. While we actually never met with Majid in-person, we spent considerable time every day with our driver Yosef. As it turned out, Yosef was probably the most impressive aspect of the entire trip insofar as he made everything run seamless, all the while being a perfect host, ambassador and overall delightful! He truly made us feel as though we were long-time friends, and his warmth and hospitality shone through as bright as the Saharan desert sun! We give him 6 stars for his effort and strongly recommend you request him if you have the opportunity.
We did have one problem that arose regarding a hike Kimkim arranged in Dades that was labelled an "easy" walk. It was anything but, with treacherous rocky and slippery terrain at every step. One of us suffered a serious fall and incurred an unfortunate injury as a result. The lesson here was to be more informed about such outings, and also for Kimkim to be more accurate about the level of a walk they arrange for their senior citizen customers. Aside from this unfortunate accident though, the rest of the trip was fantastic, and we will not hesitate in using Kimkim for our future travels.

Hi Dave,
Thank you for taking the time to share such a detailed review of your Morocco journey. We are delighted to hear that your overall experience exceeded expectations and that the trip left you with so many wonderful memories.

It was especially rewarding to read your kind words about Youssef. We take great pride in providing attentive service both during the planning process and throughout the trip itself. Youssef will be thrilled to know that his warmth, professionalism, and genuine hospitality had such a meaningful impact on your experience. We couldn't agree more that he is a wonderful ambassador for Morocco. We are, however, very sorry to hear about the fall and injury during the hike in the Dades Valley. Your safety and comfort are always our top priorities. The hike is generally designed to be flexible and can be adapted to guests' fitness levels and mobility needs. Had the guide been made aware that the terrain was proving difficult or that a different pace or route would be preferable, he would certainly have adjusted the experience accordingly. That said, we completely understand your concerns, and we sincerely regret that this resulted in such a fall.

We truly appreciate your constructive feedback, as it helps us continue to improve how we describe activities and prepare travelers for different experiences. We are grateful that, despite this unfortunate incident, you were still able to enjoy the many highlights of Morocco and return home with positive memories.

Thank you again for traveling with us, and we hope to welcome you back to Morocco for another adventure in the future.
Kindly,
Majid

We also felt well-supported by our primary driver and tour manager, Omar. He was consistently professional, punctual, reliable, and caring. As two women over 60 traveling to Morocco for the first time, his expertise and safe driving were greatly appreciated; we felt secure and well-cared for throughout the entire journey. We also enjoyed our transfer from Marrakesh to the Casablanca airport with Omar Daoudi, who provided fascinating insights into local customs and daily life.

The trip highlights were undoubtedly Chefchaouen and Ait Benhaddou, and staying at Dar Al Miraaj in Rabat really set the tone for a wonderful vacation. If there is one area for improvement, we suggest that drivers keep complimentary water bottles in the car for passengers. Overall, we highly recommend this experience!

Riad Hicham
Chefchaouen

Riad Hicham is perfectly situated in the heart of Chefchaouen, putting you right in the middle of all the main tourist activities. While the location is ideal, our room was a bit noisy at night as our window faced an adjacent restaurant terrace. Inside the room, there was no safe, and while robes were provided, they were unfortunately too small for most adults and no slippers were available. That said, the hotel has a very distinguished character and beautiful, unique fixtures that made for a memorable stay.

Rabat

We enjoyed our guided tour of Rabat with Hasania, but we were hoping for more in-depth historical context. While she did a great job showing us all the major attractions and was very responsive to our specific questions, we felt the experience lacked the extensive, colorful narrative we were looking for. We ended up filling in the historical gaps ourselves through outside reading, which left us feeling that the tour was more of a logistical guide than an immersive historical deep dive. For future travelers: If you are looking for a deep historical perspective, I recommend doing some preliminary reading on Rabat before your tour so you can ask specific, pointed questions, as the guide is very helpful when prompted but may not provide a broad historical overview on her own.

Our driver, Abdel, was over-the-top excellent, an 11 out of 10.

A few suggestions:
1. Although most stops were NOT aggressivey pushing sales of their products, a couple did...not comfortable.
2. A walk through the gardens at the "rug stop" was not particularly interesting and, in our case, the ground was muddy and uneven so quite messy and somewhat dangerous.
3. Acceptance of credit cards was sporadic. Thus, I would suggest advising clients to have sufficient amount of Morrocan cash for the week.
4. Because of the frequent tipping of guides and other service people, I would also suggest that clients have smaller denominations available.
5. The last Riad routinely shuts off the water overnight. Quite a surprise when you need to wake up to make an early flight.
6. Logistics for arriving at & leaving the desert camp could be fine-tuned...all aspects, who, what, when, & where. Communications with, and seemingly among, the staff at the desert camp was disjointed at best.

Hi Bill,

Thanks for taking time to write a review. We are happy to hear that your overall experience was excellent and we enjoyed meeting you here in the Valley of Roses.

Thanks for the notes as well. We do include stops like the rug cooperative only because it is an important part of the culture and should be no-pressure stops - I will contact you directly to get more information, so that we can speak to the local guide and/or the particular cooperative. The idea is to just share the local handicrafts that have been practiced for centuries and we definitely don't want our guests to feel uncomfortable. We will also discuss this with our tour managers so that they explain that stops like that are optional and that you are free to skip them if you wish.

I thought that the point about credit cards was addressed in the Morocco trip tips sheet that we provided, but I just looked and see that that particular point is not mentioned. I will revise that and be sure to communicate that with future travelers.

Regarding the water at the riad, we did hear reports that the water was out; however, it was an outage that affected the entire quartier of Marrakech and not within the control for the riad itself. Unfortunately, this happens in Morocco generally from time to time, but it is getting less frequent.

And finally, we will discuss the points about the desert camp with our tour managers, too. This is something that they should be coordinating and communicating to you before you head to the camp.

Thanks for sharing your feedback! And, again, we are happy to hear that enjoyed your time with Abdelhadi and in Morocco, generally.

He was always dependable and just fun to be around. Also, whenever we wanted to do anything a little off the schedule - he always accommodated. He even bought a birthday cake for my wife and somehow got it out to our camp in the desert. We will definitely use them in the future!

Riad Bayti
Marrakech

My experience at this hotel was not the greatest. I think of all the places I stayed the breakfast here did not really compare. Because we had so many days there we asked if they can wash our clothes and they said yes. They washed our white clothes with something from the hotel or someone else's clothes because when we receive them back they were blue in color. And we carry no jeans or anytthing that would fade on this trip. I honestly hate writing reviews like this. I paid them for washing the clothes and I left all of the clothes that had turned blue at the hotel with them. I have a tendency to make the best out of anywhere I am without complaining. I think the cuttings around the door, the wood casing that sticks out in the doorway I actually dangerous. Walking in and out of the doors with the design on both sides is an easy way to hit your head or shoulder while any entering or exiting the hotel room.

Authenticity & Character
It is located in the heart of the medine. This place is really in a nice location you get a lot of exercise just from walking back and forth to the place shops and markets are everywhere.

Maryem was great. She responded quickly to suggested changes to the trip planning. During the trip, we had one request about the hotel room for our next city, and she immediately contacted the hotel. My traveling companion, Patrize, did most of the trip planning and worked closely with Maryem and thought she was excellent. The hotels she booked for us were all very nice, especially the one in Marrakesh where we spent our first two and last two nights. Our driver and primary guide, Mohammed, was also excellent. He was very nice and easy to be with, which was important since we were with him for 13 days. Our other two traveling companions shared our views on Mohammed. We made a couple of itinerary changes during the trip, and he did whatever we asked of him. I had an incident with one hotel that accidentally charged me twice for an expense. As soon as I realized it (via a notification of the charges on my iPhone), I told Mohammed, and he called the hotel and fixed it. There were four of us on the trip, and Mohammed had a comfortable Mercedes-Benz SUV with cold water bottles and a nice Wi-Fi system, so we were always connected to the internet.
We saw a lot of Morocco, flying into and out of Marrakesh, going south over the Atlas Mountains into the desert, and taking a camel trek to a desert luxury camp and then north again over the mountains. We also visited Fes, Rabat, and Casablanca. Between Fes and Rabat, we stayed in Chefchaouen (the Blue City). The old part is small and very beautiful and well worth the side trip. In Marrakech, Fes, Rabat, and Chefchaouen, we took short tours with local guides who were all excellent. Mohammed was an excellent guide for the other parts of our trip. We even visited his relatives in Rissani, who had us for lunch at their home. All in all, a great trip thanks to you and your people in Morocco.

Our trip to Morocco was 9 days. I found the initial interaction with Hamza to be easy and helpful. However, eventually our trip was turned over to Said and I found getting all of our questions answered before arrival to be extremely difficult. Our driver Reda was excellent and we enjoyed all of our time together. All the hotels recommended by Kim Kim were excellent. Areas for improved communication would be as follows: Morocco as a country requires you to have a lot of small coins and small bills. The county culture is based on tips. When you go to the restroom there is an attendant you should always tip them. We were not aware of this custom and therefore did not have the correct type of currency to tip appropriately. Our driver Reda provided us with the correct coins. Which was greatly appreciated. We would have liked to know this when we exchanged our money so that we could have been prepared to tip correctly. Obtaining small bills was a challenge. Most places do not take credit cards. So you must be prepared to have enough currency to tip everyone and pay for all items in cash. Even when we had cash they could not take the large bills we had been given when we exchanged our currency. We had six additional guides during our trip. Four were arranged by Kim Kim and two were arranged by our driver when we arrived at the site we were touring. We found two of the guides assigned to us not to meet our standards. The rest of the guides were exceptional. We did address this during the trip.
We found the local specialist to always be available via text throughout our trip. I also felt that even with thorough research I still did not really understand our day to day plans. For example our only full day to explore Fes was on Friday with is the day that the majority of the town is not open. This was extremely disappointing. Had we known this we could have easily switched our itinerary. Make sure when you are planning ing your trip that you understand which days most merchants will be closed for religious reasons or holidays. Overall we enjoyed our trip very much and loved exploring the country.

Hi Julianne,

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience in Morocco. We are glad to hear that you enjoyed your trip, that Reda took such good care of you throughout the journey, and that you loved the hotels and many of the experiences along the way.

We are sorry that communication before your arrival was not as clear and easy as it should have been. Thank you for bringing this to our attention. Your feedback will help us give future travelers better advice before they arrive.

We also understand your disappointment with the guided tour of Fes on a Friday. We know you wanted to make the most of your time in the city, and it is unfortunate that many shops were closed during your visit. We agree that explaining this in advance would have helped you plan your days better.

We are sorry that some of the guides did not meet your expectations, especially during your visit to Chefchaouen. At the same time, we are happy to hear that you enjoyed the visits with other guides, particularly at Volubilis, Akchour Waterfall, and Marrakech. A good guide can make a big difference, and we appreciate your honest comments about these experiences.

Thank you also for sharing your thoughts about the long drives between destinations. We understand that you would have liked more time to enjoy your hotels, especially Eden Boutique Hotel in the Dades Valley. It is wonderful to hear how much you loved its design, gardens, food, and use of local art and crafts.

We are also glad that you enjoyed the sunset camel ride in Merzouga, the music at the desert camp, and the hike to Akchour Waterfall. These sound like some of the most memorable moments of your journey.

We truly appreciate both your kind words and your suggestions for improvement. Your feedback about communication, guide quality, and daily planning is important to us, and we will take it into account when planning future trips.

Thank you again for choosing Morocco and for sharing your experience with us. We are glad that you enjoyed discovering the country and hope you returned home with many wonderful memories.

As the henna slowly fades from my hand, and the last trace of desert sand from the Sahara falls out of my shoes, my mind still dances to the rhythm of the Berber music that embraced my trip.

The smell of the campfire, the warmth of the mint tea, the smiles that met my eyes in every direction I looked, the warm culture, and that constant peacefulness in the air, have become memories that make my heart flutter.

That feeling of being one with nature, intertwined, fully connected, and grounded to my core, will stay embedded in my soul forever.

The kindness that I received, the kindred spirits that I met along the way, and the many hours of laughter that I shared with everyone I met, will now become a part of my smile that I share daily.

It’s hard to put an adventure like this trip into words to explain to others when they ask “How was your trip?”. I believe strongly that everything happens for a reason, and people are put into our lives on purpose. The people I met along this journey, the connections I made, and the friendships that formed into family will stay in my heart forever!

All I can say is Morocco is stunning, vibrant, and extremely beautiful, and the people are some of the most amazing people I’ve ever met in my life! Our driver Moha was the absolute best driver anyone could ask for, and we couldn’t have done this trip without his expertise! Moha was extremely nice, forgiving for our lateness, and beyond helpful and accommodating no matter if it was for a pit stop or finding something in particular that we needed. He told us a lot about the country, helped us learn some of the language, laughed with us, and always made sure we were comfortable and happy. By the end of our trip Moha felt like family to us!

The accommodations were spectacular beyond measure! The beauty and the attention to detail blew my mind at the Riad and the Tiziri Desert Camp. Both places had exquisite food, some of the best I’ve ever eaten before. Tiziri Desert camp took me to a new level of happiness I’ve never known, a peacefulness I am excited to revisit!

All in all, this was a trip that dreams are made of, and I couldn’t ask for anything more, except more time there! I can’t wait to go back!!

As the last trace of desert sand from the Sahara falls out of my shoes, my mind still dances to the rhythm of the Berber music that embraced my stay at the Tiziri Luxury Camp. The smell of the campfire, the warmth of the mint tea, the smiles that met my eyes in every direction I looked, the warm Amazigh culture, and that constant peacefulness in the air, have become memories that make my heart flutter. That feeling of being one with the dunes, intertwined, fully connected under the stars, and grounded to my core, will stay embedded in my soul forever. The kindness that I received, the kindred spirits that I met at the camp, and the many hours of laughter that I shared with everyone I met, will now become a part of my smile that I share daily. Our stay at Tiziri Camp was absolutely magical, elevated entirely by a staff that performs beyond measure. From the moment we arrived, the hospitality was unmatched. The attention to detail throughout the camp is stunning, especially their commitment to an eco-friendly design. The tents are beautifully designed, and the exquisitely detailed furnishings blend sustainable practices with traditional luxury and modern comfort perfectly. We were welcomed right away by our incredible server, Yedir, who immediately greeted us with refreshing tea after our long journey. We were thrilled to find out he would also be taking care of us during breakfast and dinner at the restaurant. Yedir’s service was nothing short of anticipatory and impeccable. He timed every meal perfectly, and treated us with a level of genuine warmth and professionalism, all with a smile, that you rarely find. Beyond the perfect service, the culinary experience was spectacular, with every meal beautifully prepared and bursting with flavor. The nights were equally unforgettable—gathering around the campfire dancing and listening to amazing traditional Berber music under the desert stars was the perfect way to wind down. It is clear that the entire team works in flawless harmony to deliver an exceptional stay to their guests. If you are looking for breathtaking views paired with world-class hospitality, Tiziri Luxury Camp is an absolute must-visit.

Highly recommend KimKim!

The team of Imane & Said were very helpful in choosing and planning the trip. They were great to accommodate our requests for Riads vs hotels etc. Overall they did a fantastic job.

Our driver/guide Mayssar was superb; he is knowledgeable, warm, friendly and very accommodating. We might have started with a driver but left with a friend. The trip would not have been good without him!

The accommodations were very good - we wanted to experience the Riads and they were very comfortable.

The highlight of our trip was the Sahara desert. The camel ride, jeep ride and the food! The owner/manager Hummou of the camp was superb in taking care of us; I would highly recommend this camp after talking to travelers in other camps. The food was excellent.

The Riad in Dades Gorges was good, and the manager was fantastic. The best food on the trip was at this Riad.

The second best part of the trip was the cooking class. It was done very elegantly.

Our guide in Marrakesh Abde Latif was the best guide we had - His English, knowledge and sharing was very good. Overall the guides were good, and informative.

We enjoyed the family dinners. It would have been nice if the guide stayed with us to translate when we met the Berber family as no-one there spoke english. But we still enjoyed visiting with the family. They were warm and wonderful.

Palais Zahia was just what we had expected a Riad to be; Great workmanship.

The La Kasbah d'Ourika also had some superb craftsmanship and was renovated very nicely.

All in all, we thoroughly enjoyed the trip.

Of course one or two things didn't work out as expected; but the KimKim team was immediately responsive and did their best to straighten it out. Thanks.

We’ll be sure to pass your kind words on to Mayssar. “We started with a driver but left with a friend” is exactly the kind of connection we hope our travelers make.

We hope to welcome you back to Morocco again!

Where to start? Marrakech: the Diamond Riad was gorgeous, the food from the hotel was great including the breakfasts. In the morning , we had another guest open our room door and entered into our room when we were in it! We addressed with the front staff who denied that she gave the key to someone else, another guest, and had no idea how that could’ve happened. No apologies offered. We were told the night before that our third night was canceled and there was no room for us at the hotel. So we had to pack up and move to another location in the morning. We had plans to return to some places in the Medina but we were unable to. We planned on a food guide our first evening and he was about 45 minutes late. He was too soft spoken and did not offer an expectation for the evening. We felt rushed and had to walk quickly to keep up with him. We recommend not having your food tour on the first night in country if you are able. Our tour guide Goshen for the Medina was very good. We did not feel rushed and were often told to take our time.
Next stop: Riad Dar Imil. The room was very nice but we didn’t have much time in the room as we arrived in the evening. The food was decent.
The hike with Hassan and lunch with a Berber family was a disaster in our opinion. It never occurred. We walked for 30 minutes stopped, had a tea, and spent another 60 minutes walking to and through a village. The meal was in a big room meant for many people where we ate by ourselves and five cats. After our lunch of 30 minutes, our guide napped and returned to our room 60 minutes later. He then guided us for 10 minutes down to our driver. He was not friendly when we asked him about meeting the family. He said they were at a wedding. There were no children to give candy to that we had and he took the whole bag for his family. This was one of the main things that we were looking forward to on this trip and it didn’t happen. We are very disappointed in this aspect. We highly recommend that you do not use Hassan for any guiding! As far as having lunch with a Berber Family, I highly recommend that this is pre-organized before anyone wants to do this.
Dar Rihana Dades was our next hotel. The hotel was beautiful. The food was easily five stars. The chef could be on a cooking show and would probably win. The staff, mainly the main person who ran the restaurant and hotel was phenomenal.
Our guide, Mohammed took us into the monkey fingers trail. He was kind, patient, and knowledgeable. This experience for us was phenomenal.
Onto Merzouga. While our accommodation was a tent in the Sahara, it was meant to be two nights and we only had one night. We also requested for a stargazer experience and that did not happen either. The accommodation was very nice, and the staff was wonderful. The camel ride into the camp was good, but our guide was not good. We recommend you do not use him again. He tried to sell us sand!! At first he said it was a gift to us and then at the camp, he said we owed him 100 dh! The food was terrible at the camp! Cold and flavorless.
The next day, we had a Jeep tour with Abdul. He was a fantastic guide. Patient, very knowledgeable, and friendly. Five stars for him and the tour. We stayed in Riad Villa Amood. The hotel was beautiful, comfortable sleep, and the food was great!
The Fossil museum for us was definitely worth a stop.
The drive to Fez was very long. We wish we would’ve stopped halfway to sleep and relax a little bit. Please change the time on the itinerary to 9 + hours instead of 7.
The accommodation in Fes was 3 stars while we felt the staff member/manager was not very friendly, the dinner we had there was terrible as well as the two breakfasts. The bread was at least two days old. There was no protein or fruit served, and the coffee was average. The guide (Mustfa) in the Medina was a three star. He was knowledgeable, he knew where things were in the Medina, But our heart belief felt like he had done this a 1000 times and he had lost his passion for the job. Our meal in the Medina was awesome- Berrada Family. The places he took us to were geared for sales. We did not like this. The carpet place took over an hour! A discussion needs to happen between the Medina guide and the clients as to what the clients want to see and how long they want to see it for. There were some things that we wanted to see, but we ran out of time because we spent so long in the carpet place. The mosaic and pottery factory tour was good but the high pressure salesman was not ok. The owner even followed us out to our car!
Rabat we could’ve skipped, and Casablanca was enough to have our mosque tour and leave.
Be prepared with enough cash for tipping your guides every day.
Our driver, Samir, was friendly, knowledgeable, and an expert driver. He always provided water for us everyday.
Expectations for the day as far as stops (we could have missed the movie set place as we had to rush to our camel ride), toilet breaks, and lunch breaks should be discussed every morning. There were a few days where we felt hungry and had no place to stop and eat. Expectations between client and the tour guides should also be discussed before the tour. We felt we spent too much time doing things in the Medinas that we didn’t want to do and not enough time seeing and experiencing the things we wanted to see and experience. For example, the Koranic school inside the Fes Medina.
Overall, Morocco is a beautiful country and people with a wonderful variety of things to experience. KimKim was the disappointment with our itinerary being shuffled around. We would recommend to our friends, but giving them these words of advice.
