Kimkim Trip Reviews for Morocco

We had a wonderful experience in our 10 day trip from Marrakesh, to Agafay, Rabat, ending in Fes. The Riads were all enchanting, specially for its beauty the Elegance in Marrakesh and for its majestic arabic palacial environment and distinguished personnel the Hanel garden in Fes. The visits of the beautifull gardens, magnificent Medinas, Volubilis, learning the history and traditions, was a lifetime experience, all timely toured and nicely personalized . Most importantly, and what I would say provides most of the merit for a relatively high priced trip, was the extraordinary care, diligence, amability, and problema solving of our driver/host Ismael. We always felt very comfortable and safe and well taken care of with my wife, daughter and grandaughter throughout the 10 day visit/drive from city to city and within the city. Overall food menues specially in the desert glamping can be improved for a more luxurious experience (specially for 10 data were Food becomes rather repetitive)..but nevertheless we managed by searching for restaurants with great help from Ismael (as well as for shopping). The trip to the hills was interesting but excesively crowded during the short hike (this tour can be improved). These Small limitations, which we enjoyed anyways (the food and the trip to the Atlas hills/mountains), did not affect at all a great family experience in Marrocco; thank you very much.

This was our first trip to Morocco and the kimkim team and MOBT made it a huge success. Our planner, Yassine, tailored an itinerary that combined all of the best of what we were looking for. Yassine was also able to seamlessly modify our trip, first to add an extra member of our party, and then to change our city of departure to accommodate our best flight home. Our driver, Younes, was extremely knowledgeble, and helped us get around both Marrakesh and Casablanca. We were very glad to have a professional driver for the Marrakesh part of our visit. Ahmed and Mohammed, out tour guides were exceptional, and the food tour around Jemal el Fnaa and the waterfall and Berber village hike were lifelong memories. We were well prepared and got great advice and recommendations from the whole team throughout our trip. Thanks for everything!

This trip was perfect. I want to especially mention a few of the guides. First and foremost, Ahmed Boufdam, our driver/guide, was outstanding. He is a great asset to the company. He is smart, funny, attentive, and a great driver. He really made our week into a spectacular trip. He made it look easy, and I know that's the sign of someone very good at what they do.
Hisham (Abdou's brother!) and Rashid were also incredible - in Marrakech and Fes. They are so good at what they do - consummate professionals with loads of experience and great delivery. Hasania in Rabat was also a standout.
The accommodations were perfect.
The itinerary was excellent; there's never enough time to do all you want to do, but we had a good mix, and I loved getting to see the spectacular Moroccan countryside. It was stunning.
Overall, I was very pleased with the trip, and would recommend the trip to anyone considering a trip to Morocco.

We had an exceptional experience with KimKim during our trip to Morocco, which included Casablanca, Fes, Chefchaouen, and Marrakesh. From start to finish, the entire journey was thoughtfully designed, extremely well organized, and remarkably low-stress for us as travelers.

Every single day was well planned, with a perfect balance of sightseeing, cultural immersion, and downtime. The itinerary flowed smoothly, logistics were seamless, and we always felt well taken care of. It was clear that a great deal of expertise and care went into planning this trip.

A very special thank you to our guide and driver Ismail, who was outstanding. He was professional, knowledgeable, courteous, and always attentive to our needs. He made long drives comfortable, explained local history and culture with depth, and ensured we felt safe and relaxed throughout the trip.

We also want to commend all the other tour guides we met along the way. They were extremely well qualified, well educated, articulate, and highly mannered. Their passion for Moroccan history, architecture, and culture truly enhanced our experience in each city.

Overall, this was a beautifully executed trip that exceeded our expectations. If you are looking for a well-organized, culturally rich, and stress-free experience in Morocco, we highly recommend KimKim without hesitation.

We had a wonderful time and had excellent guides throughout. The only exception was our guide, Mohamed, in Casablanca. I’m glad that Casablanca was the end of our trip because at that point we had a better understanding of life in Morocco so his cursory remarks were less important.

We went on this trip rather last minute after other travel plans fell through. Thanks to Majid everything came together beautifully within a week. He created a truly memorable vacation for us. During the trip Majid was always available to change things around and check in on us. The highlight of the trip? Our driver Yussef! If you are spending hours with somebody in a car you better feel comfortable with that person. Yussef was a great driver (I tend to get car sick and even in the mountains I was fine!). He was super punctual, reliable, entertaining, and genuinely friendly. He waited for us while we had dinner to drive us to the hotel, brought us to places that weren't even mentioned in the itinerary and always kept his good humor even when the weather and traffic were awful. I highly recommend him to anybody planning a trip to Morocco.
We saw a lot on this trip - Casablanca, Rabat, Chefchaouen, Volublis, Meknes, Fes, Merzouga, Dades Gorge, Boumaine Dades, Ait Benhaddou, Marrakesh, Essaouira and every place was a wonderful experience and I am glad we didn't skip any place because of the sometimes long drives. Besides the cities it was the cultural experiences and guides that made this trip extra special.

Hotel Odyssee Center

This was such a let down as the last hotel of our trip. I almost thought of checking out and going somewhere else. The place is plain dirty. Hair and crumbs everywhere. Stains on the carpets. I don't know when someone last wiped down the surfaces because there were spills and gooey marks on everything. The breakfast room wasn't clean either. Total disaster. The staff was nice enough but the hotel itself can not be recommended at all.

We had a drink by the fireplace before dinner and the young man serving us was rearranging the furniture to make us more comfortable.

We spent 11 fantastic days exploring the sights, tastes and sounds of Morocco. Our driver, Tayeb, was super informative and a pleasure to speak with throughout our journey. He was a safe and experienced driver which was very reassuring. Our stays were in Rabat, Chefchauen, Fez, the Sahara, Ait Benhaddou and Marrakech. We enjoyed the variety of landscapes along the way, the hustle of the medinas, and the quiet dunes of the Sahara. Dune buggy and camel riding in the desert were memorable highlights. The Medina and food tasting tour with Abdul in Fez really helped us appreciate the history and culture of the people living and working in the Medina.

We had a fantastic vacation in Morocco, thanks in large part to KimKim! Our family thought this was one of our favorite trips. We like to plan a lot of a vacation ourselves and appreciated that KimKim let us book our own hotels and some tours, while arranging transportation and other tours themselves. The tours KimKim arranged were some of our favorites- the guides were very hands-on, informative, and flexible as needed with our family (we traveled with two kids, ages 1.5 & 6). Our driver, Yassine, was the highlight of our trip! He was with us for the whole week and was so kind and helpful. We were able to contact our local guide at any point during the trip, which was reassuring. We even changed something the night before (traveling to Casablanca earlier than planned) and they were able to accommodate. I cannot recommend enough!

Our two-week journey through Morocco with KimKim was nothing short of extraordinary, and a huge part of that was thanks to our incredible driver and guide, Kalid. From day one, Kalid was patient, knowledgeable, and wonderfully accommodating, always making sure we felt comfortable, informed, and cared for throughout the trip.

Morocco itself completely captured our hearts. We experienced a fascinating culture, unforgettable cuisine, and some of the warmest, most welcoming people we’ve ever met. This trip is an absolute must for anyone who truly enjoys immersing themselves in other cultures rather than just visiting a destination.

The itinerary was perfectly balanced—taking us from the high-energy, colorful chaos of Marrakech to the peaceful, calming beauty of Chefchaouen. We watched the sun rise and set over the Sahara Desert, experienced the deep-rooted traditions of Fez, and shared unforgettable meals during a cooking class in a local family’s home, as well as lunch with a welcoming Berber family. These moments felt authentic, intimate, and incredibly special.

Standing inside the Hassan II Mosque in Casablanca was breathtaking—the sheer scale and beauty of it left us in awe. And in true Morocco fashion, the diversity amazed us: we went from snow in the Atlas Mountains to the Sahara Desert in just 12 hours.

This trip was rich, diverse, thoughtfully planned, and truly exceeded our expectations in every way. We would highly recommend KimKim to anyone considering Morocco—especially travelers who want depth, authenticity, and unforgettable experiences.

There was so much more we explored and experienced. 2 weeks was a great length of time to experience what Morocco has to offer. Anything shorter I think you would be missing out.

We’ll be sharing a full travel video series from this journey on our YouTube channel, Travel With The Hales – The Curious Travelers, and can’t wait to relive and share the magic.
👉 https://www.youtube.com/@travelwiththehales

Our family just spent two weeks in Morocco. We’ve used Kimkim before to arrange other trips and used them again for this one (wouldn’t do an international trip without them)! Said was extremely easy to work with as we planned the itinerary, which was jam packed with so many amazing adventures (as we like it)! We did walking tours, a food tour, sunrise hot air balloon ride, camped in the Sahara, rode camels, sand boarded, met Nomad families, took a cooking class (so happy I now know how to make Tangine), spent an afternoon in a hammam, shopped in the souks, ate amazing food, made stops at argan, saffron and rose co-ops, learned about making rugs (and bought several), hiked in the mountains, toured Atlas Studios, visited Ait Ben Haddou, and ended at the Atlantic Ocean.

Said made sure our accommodations were top notch and every detail was covered. But what really made the trip all pull together was our driver Karim. He was with us for the whole two weeks, which we loved! He became a part of our family and really made our trip safe, comfortable and fun. It was so helpful to have his help for translations when needed. He recommended, and arranged for great lunches on the road, and when our itinerary needed to change due to a closed mountain pass, he arranged a new route and found us a different hotel. This all flowed so seamlessly and we never had to worry about a thing. Karim was phenomenal!

This trip exceeded all of our expectations. All of our accommodations and activities were perfect. We especially loved staying at La Maison Arabe in Marrakesh, along with Tiziri Luxury Camp in Merzougha. And don’t miss dinner at Dardar Rooftop (Marrakesh). Go for the sunset!

We booked a 8-day 7-night tour with Kimkim. First, Imane was a fantastic travel consultant to help us plan the itinerary. We reached out relatively late in November for a December trip. Especially as Morocco was hosting the African Cup of Nations and accommodations were booked out. She helped us with an itinerary while taking into account some of our requests around dietary restrictions and making sure our elderly parents would be comfortable. Once booked, our local point of contact in Morocco was Said, who did a fabulous job in figuring out the right hotels, accommodating last minute requests and ensuring we were supported right through the tour. He also made sure we had the best driver/guide combination in Ikhlaf and Noureddine. The two of them made sure we stopped at the right restaurants with good vegetarian food, showed us local spots and ensured we had the best local and cultural experience. We had some pretty late breaking requests for tours (like star gazing, ATV rides, etc) and they helped us out with those. I cannot praise this duo enough and would highly recommend these guys if you are planing a trip to Morocco. The trip was fabulous and a big reason was the Kimkim crew. We had some long driving days through spectacular scenery (High Atlas Mountains with snow, The Sahara desert at Merzouga, gorges, etc) and these guys made sure we were comfortable. Overall, a wonderful experience.

Ahmed was amazing we traveled extensively by car he did an amazing job

Guided Tour in Marrakech

Marrakesh

We had a fantastic time in Morocco! Our itinerary was Tangier-->Chefchauen-->Rabbat-->Casablanca. KimKim and our local contacts (Yassine-planning, Soufiane-driving) put together an excellent trip exactly as we envisioned it. Specifically for us we wanted to have time to explore places and not rush from place to place. Our Riad in Tangier was well located for exploring the medina, and we were less than a 5 minute walk from a well known brochette (kebab) place. The coastal views just outside of town at the Lighthouse and where the Mediterranean/Atlantic come together are great. In Chefchauen - do the Spanish monastery hike at sunset - you can even get great views only walking part of the trail - and then you can save energy for the Akchour Waterfall hike which was probably our favorite day of the trip! Rabbat is a much bigger city and fun to explore - many of the museums are excellent. One favorite was the Musée National de la Photographie.

Altogether it was a great trip, and all of the planning and guidance we received made it happen!

Everything with this trip planned by KimKim went great. The website is easy to use. Hakim, our representative, was fast, courteous, and always willing to help out. He created a great agenda for us in Morocco. The hotels (riads) we stayed at were simply amazing. Our driver, Khalid, was exceptional. Every hotel knew we were coming, the drivers and guides always showed up on time. They planned some additional activities such as a cooking class in Fes. I would use KimKim again.
