Kimkim Trip Reviews for Morocco

My family had an incredible trip! Everyone we met and worked with was so friendly and knowledgeable. Henyn, our guide in Marrakech, kept our kids (7 and 9) engaged. We spent a night glamping in the Agafay mountains, which was a perfect reset for the kids. We got to see how a Berber family lives, ride camels and quad bikes, and even swim! Along the way, Hakim, our driver Khalid, and all our guides gave us helpful tips for navigating around.

Médina Charme Riad & Spa

This riad is absolutely gorgeous! We had 2 separate adjacent rooms (kids 7 and 9 stayed in a room together) and we enjoyed coming back to the riad to drink tea and play card games. The caretakers Nabil and Yousef clearly take pride in their riad. Yousef particularly was so good with the kids and we enjoyed playing card games together! We would definitely come back, and when the weather is warmer so we can swim in the pool! (It was cold in Feb)

We had the most wonderful experience in Morocco thanks to KimKim and Maryem, out travel specialist. From start to finish, the trip was thoughtfully planned, beautifully paced, and completely stress-free. Every detail felt intentional, allowing us to truly relax and immerse ourselves in the culture.

Our driver, Zaid was exceptional. He was professional, incredibly careful on the roads, and genuinely kind. We always felt safe and well cared for — and his warmth added so much to the overall joy of the journey.

In Marrakesh, our guide Mohamed was equally outstanding. His knowledge, energy, and passion brought both the walking tour and the food tour to life. He helped us see the city beyond the surface and made the experience meaningful and memorable.

One of our favorite highlights was staying at the Agafay Desert camp. It was stunning and completely unexpected — serene skies, camels at sunset, and sleeping in our hut under the stars. It felt magical and unlike anything we’ve ever done.

We are so grateful for such a seamless and unforgettable adventure. Highly recommend!

Heure Bleue Palais - Relais & Châteaux

Essaouira

Our stay at Palais L’Heure Bleue was truly a lovely experience. The hotel is stunning — elegant, intimate, and beautifully authentic. It perfectly blends Moroccan charm with a subtle French refinement, creating such a unique and welcoming atmosphere. The breakfast buffet was superb, with wonderful variety and quality, and dinner in the restaurant felt elegant and special — a true dining experience. Our room was spacious and comfortable, and overall everything worked beautifully… except for the coffee machine, which gave us a bit of a morning challenge (lol!). But even that added a little character to the stay. All in all, it was a memorable and delightful place to stay, and we would happily return.

They anticipated every need — bringing tea, coffee, and anything else to ensure we were comfortable and relaxed. The dinner was delicious, beautifully prepared, and enjoyed under the most stunning desert sky. The evening entertainment was lively and so much fun — such a special way to experience the atmosphere of the desert. And our hut? Absolutely adorable. Cozy, charming, and far more comfortable than we expected. Waking up there felt surreal. It was an unforgettable experience and one we’ll be talking about for a long time.

It felt a bit chaotic at times and the selection was somewhat limited compared to the overall quality of the hotel. That said, it didn’t take away from an otherwise very pleasant experience. Also, one important thing. The hotel hotel is not properly placed on Google maps. We really got lost. Overall, we had a wonderful stay and would happily return.

Marrakech Food Tour

Marrakesh

The Medina in Marrakesh is wild, vibrant, and completely unforgettable. Mohamed guided us through the winding streets and souks on an incredible food tour that turned out to be one of the highlights of our entire trip to Morocco. We sampled a variety of authentic Moroccan dishes — from fresh street food to local specialties — and everything was delicious. What made it even better was knowing the food was freshly prepared and thoughtfully selected. I honestly think some of the bites we had that day were the best food I ate during our whole trip. Mohamed made the experience fun, safe, and meaningful. We would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Marrakesh.

Our cooking class at La Maison Arabe was an absolute blast and one of the highlights of our time in Morocco. We learned how to make chicken tagine with a wonderful chef and an incredibly warm and gracious hostess/owner. It was truly the best cooking class I’ve ever taken. Each of us had our own workstation, and there was a television monitor so we could clearly watch the chef’s demonstrations step-by-step. Assistants were nearby to guide us and make sure everything turned out beautifully, which made the experience feel relaxed, organized, and fun. The space itself was lovely — modern and polished, yet still infused with a beautiful Moroccan vibe. It felt authentic without being overwhelming. Such a memorable morning filled with great food, learning, and laughter. Highly recommend to anyone visiting!

We had a short 5 days and a long wish list of ideas. Majid helped us narrow down the itinerary to get the most out of that time and he delivered more than we imagined. Every detail was thoughtfully considered from the locations to explore, unique and authentic stays, specific activity options and overall timing to ensure we did not overbook our time nor have unnecessary lulls. Our driver and guide, Youssef, was very friendly, knowledgeable and attentive. He kept us on schedule while also indulging our desire to be spontaneous in our explorations. His advice was always spot on. We HIGHLY recommend the KimKim team and will certainly work with them in the future.

We had such a wonderful experience in Morocco! The planning with Megan was both efficient and fun; she was super responsive and worked with me to design what turned out to be the perfect trip for us! Mohamed met us at our hotel and drove us all over the country for 9 days. He was fun, friendly and a very good driver even for this nervous passenger. The roads are crazy with sheep, donkeys, mudslides and motorbikes everywhere, but he did a great job navigating it all and explaining things along the way. The local guides were all terrific as well, and so were the hotels. We especially loved the desert camp and the riads in the cities. On the last day Mohamed took us to his Uncle’s house for lunch - we really enjoyed meeting them and seeing real Moroccan domestic life.

Like the Amazigh expression, that he is more like a brother than a friend, Ahmed was more than just a driver. He was a great travel companion! All of our local guides where top notch (Hishim, Hasania, Rashid). Our lunch at Said's, and visit in the apple orchard, were wonderful and we loved the cooking class with Nawal and Habiba. Sharon did a great job suggesting itineraries and listening to what we were interested in. I also appreciated doing the Zooms with her.

Amazing loop tour of Morocco. The country, it"s history, culture, tradition and the people just to name a few. Our Planner Nihad from Immersion Tour was spot on. I love all the incredible sites from the moment we landed in Casablanca, on around to Rabat, Chefchaouen Volubilis just to name a few. Our Tour manager Omar Doudi, was also great and hospitable enough to invite us to his home and prepared home cooked Tajine and Cuscous, I love spending a day in his village too, to see the local market, bakery and farms. The other guides were also very informative like Hshania in Rabat, Khlafa in Fes, Hicham in Marakkech, and the gentleman in Volubilis . We had a fantastic travel and time in Morocco. In summary, the tour was well planned, organized, have great Tour manager, and exdperienced knowledgeable guides. Without hesitation I recommend to anyone Immersion Tour if you are planning to see Morocco. Lastly before I go, our Camel ride in the Sahara desert was beyond my expectation. Thank you Nihad, and your crew. Great Job.

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 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.

The brothers working at the hotel were wonderful right from the greeting to dinner service. The food in particular was outstanding!! The best we experienced throughout the trip. Every dish was artistically prepared and delicious.

Sunrise Hot Air Balloon Ride in Marrakech

Marrakesh

Once we finally got up in the air, we enjoyed the experience. (We were delayed by fog for two hours.) Our view above the clouds was beautiful, but brief, as we had to descend below the clouds again quickly. It took some time to find a safe place to set down, but floating over Berber villages was quite interesting.

Said and the KimKim team assembled an absolutely amazing vacation!!! everyone he had pick me up, drive me or guide me was professional, knowledgeable, and extremely friendly. When we had bad weather Said was on top of it and made recommendations & they were perfect. He did all the work while I was able to enjoy the trip. He laid everything out for me & was in constant contact throughout the trip, making sure everything was running smoothly. If I ever had a question or wanted to change an itinerary, he accommodated. I’m very pleased with the service and will definitely use Said and KimKim again.

Anas was my driver for a lot of my trip and he was so nice. We really got to know one another & I highly recommend using him. He was so very friendly and accommodating. Also had an amazing guide in High Atlas Mountains (Mustapho Oubraim). We encountered a large snow storm that required an itinerary change, and he made an unforgettable experience happen.

Thanks so much for a fantastic adventure…Bryan

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.

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!

Doing a hammam while in Morocco is a great idea. But I didn’t feel that our particular hammam was ready for us. They were unorganized. We prepaid through Kimkim but they still were asking for payment. This hammam took our whole family at one time and the five us were bathed at one time. I would have been more comfortable doing males and females separately.
