Kimkim Trip Reviews for Morocco

Thanks to Maryem and kimkim for exceptional planning for our trip around Morocco. All of our guides were excellent in showing us around the Medinas and telling us about some of the history of Morocco. We enjoyed the varied terrain from the mountains, the desert, and the coastal areas. Our driver, Mohamed was exceptional, very friendly, and professional at all times.

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.

Maryem was excellent; Her follow through and responsiveness to our requests were outstanding. All our local guides were excellent; knowledgable and helpful. Our driver, Mohamed was a gem; punctual, helpful and very pleasant to spend time with. We all enjoyed our time in Morocco and will recommend both Morocco and KimKim with high praise,

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!!

Tiziri Luxury Camp

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.

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.

Our driver Ilyace, made the whole trip such a dream! Everything went smoothly and he took the time to take us all kinds of amazing places that weren't on our itinerary, and that only a local would know! Also, KimKim was very easy to work with and everyone on the tram were really great communicators.

Ilyace was fantastic, a great driver and guide.

We couldn’t have asked for a better trip to Morocco!! From planning the epic trip to final execution, the process was flawless.
Our guide, Mohamed, made certain every aspect of our vacation was exactly what we had been dreaming about. He made every effort so that we had everything we needed even down to finding a store open during siesta for the extra luggage we needed for our purchases! This includes stops for sodas, incidentals, two trips to find my perfect minerals and rearranging our camel ride to the next day so we would experience a cloudless sunset ride!! We could not have had a better guide, he is a true gem!! Of course, he was extremely knowledgeable and able to answer any and all questions about the local culture and cities we visited.
The hotels chosen by KimKim were equally amazing!!
Dar Rihana Dades was one of the most beautiful places I have ever stayed. Every aspect to this beautiful Riad was thoughtfully planned from the floors to the ceilings. It was magnificent. The food there was the amazing, probably the best of the entire trip. I would have loved to have been able to stay an additional night. Mohamed at Dar Rihana was amazing and he even took the time to show us the new pool and additional rooms the riad was in the process of building. I’m definitely looking forward to a future visit here, hopefully soon.
The Desert Camp was beyond all expectations!! The staff, excursions, food, entertainment and Berber hospitality were top notch. We could not have wanted for a better experience and would not change a thing about our vacation. I honestly feel we have friends in Morocco now and look forward to seeing everyone again.
Thank you guys so much for planning and executing the perfect trip. I am relatively well traveled and nothing has ever came close to the magic of Morocco!! Inshallah!!!

We had a wonderful trip to Morocco thanks to Majid and his team. He was on too of everything, responding to our requests and needs right away, and he worked within our budget. We enjoyed the company of our driver Hamza, and our various guides who were knowledgeable, punctual and very polite. Some hotels were better than others, but the staff was always very accommodating and lovely people.
We would absolutely plan another trip with KimKim, and highly recommend Majid to help plan your Moroccan adventure!

A Wonderful 10-Day Journey Through Morocco—with Special Thanks to Hamza! 🇲🇦

Our 10-day trip through Morocco with Original Travels Company was a wonderful experience, filled with beautiful scenery, fascinating history, delicious food, and warm hospitality. The team thoughtfully arranged our accommodations, transportation, sightseeing, and local restaurants, allowing us to relax and enjoy discovering this remarkable country.

A special thank-you goes to our driver, Mr. Hamza, who was exceptional throughout the journey. Professional, friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive, he made us feel comfortable and well cared for every day. His kindness and enthusiasm for sharing his country added so much to our experience. It was a pleasure spending these ten days with him, and we would wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone visiting Morocco.

From the beautiful blue streets of Chefchaouen and the historic medina of Fes to the Atlas Mountains, Aït Benhaddou, and the lively souks of Marrakech, each destination offered something memorable. Casablanca and Rabat added another perspective on Morocco’s rich history and modern life. Along the way, we enjoyed authentic Moroccan meals, refreshing mint tea, and moments of genuine connection with the people we met.

We have a few constructive suggestions that could make future trips even more comfortable. Guests would benefit from advance notice when a riad is located deep within the medina and requires a considerable walk with luggage. Assistance with carrying or transporting bags would be especially welcome. Where possible, outdoor sightseeing could also be scheduled for the cooler morning or late-afternoon hours to avoid the intense midday heat.

At the Roman ruins, our scheduled guide was unavailable when we arrived. The replacement guide was pleasant and welcoming, although he appeared understandably tired after leading several earlier groups. Ensuring the designated guide is ready on arrival would improve this part of the experience.

Overall, we were very happy with our journey and appreciated the care and organization provided by Original Travels Company. We returned home with beautiful memories and a deeper appreciation of Morocco’s culture and hospitality.

Thank you to the entire team—and especially Hamza—for making our first visit to Morocco so special!

Samuel & Helen

This was our first time going to Africa so we felt the need to work with a travel agency to ensure we had a good trip. Booking through kimkim was very easy and our local specialist, Maryem, was highly communicative from the beginning. From the moment we arrived in Morocco, everything was highly organized. Our local guide, Khalid, was extremely professional and knowledgeable about Morocco. He ensured we stayed on schedule and and kept us updated every step of the way. Our local guides were all great, especially Hakim in Fes. The hotels were all beautiful and every experience was interesting and unique. We had a wonderful trip and couldn't be happier we selected this option. 12/10 experience.

Hiking & Cultural Immersion in the Atlas Mountains

Boumalne Dades

The hiking and cultural immersion in the Atlas Mountains was an amazing experience. The hike included a lunch at our tour guide Khalid's family house, which was a unique and memorable part of the day. Khalid was fantastic, very knowledgeable and made the experience even better. However, I wish I had more detailed information upfront about the hike, like the intensity and distance, so I could have been better prepared. Overall, it was a fantastic and enriching experience.

Marrakech Food Tour

The Marrakech Food Tour was fantastic. Every event and activity during the trip was really great, and this food tour was no exception. The tour guides were extremely well prepared, enthusiastic, and genuinely happy to help us, which made the experience even more enjoyable.

From the planning segment with Sharon to the drop off to the airport Kim Kim was fabulous! They provided personalized attention to our small group tour of 3 and were able to accommodate all of our requests. Our tour manager Abdelhadi was available at all times to book restaurants, drive to specialized tours and was so friendly and personable he became like family at the end. We were only there 4 full days but packed a lot in thanks to Kim Kim Travel. Couldn’t recommend the and higher. 10 Stars from us!!

I had an excellent experience traveling around Morocco with Kim Kim! The entire trip was very well organized, and everything went smoothly from start to finish.
A special thanks to Hassan, who planned the trip so well and made sure everything was taken care of. Our driver and road tour guide, Mohammed, was fantastic, making the long drives comfortable, enjoyable, and stress-free.
The local tour guides, Sallam and Hakim, were also great and helped us learn more about Morocco’s history, culture, and traditions.
The accommodation and stays were good throughout the trip, and overall, everything was well arranged. From the planning to the transportation and guided tours, the entire experience was excellent.

Our 7 night adventure was a perfect immersion into the history and culture of Morocco. Majid gave us the best program to see and explore the old cities and experience the food. Zaid was an amazing driver and saw that we had smooth transitions. The individual guides in each city gave us local knowledge and took us to see the best places. Hakim, our guide in Fes, was amazing and our favorite. Ishmael, our guide in Marrakech, helped us explore the old market. We had a private dinner prepared by chef Madi. We loved our overnight in Agafay. Mohamed spent time telling us about life in the Sahara desert. And last was a perfect ending with a wonderful experience doing a traditional Hamam.
We totally recommend KumKim for a great Moroccan adventure.
