Our favorite was at Dades, Kasbah Tiziri run by Michelle ....she served us some of the yummiest food and took such good care of us. I would recommend tours by kimkim a 100%.

Where do I even begin? One of the best stays in Morocco. Michelle, who runs the place has been the most helpful and kindest. From the moment we arrived to the time we left, she made our stay perfect. I have to mention Michelle's food. It's one of the best breakfast and dinners we have had and we miss it to date. We loved our chit chats over food and tea. She has maintained the place, preserved the original and added it to it in such a thoughtful manner. Location is beautiful. Don't miss this place!

It was easy for us to go for walks in the evening, explore local food and market by foot. Some people might have some reservations by the old bathrooms, but the experience is great!

Wow. My family (a small group of 15-19 adults depending on the day) traveled from Tangier to Fes to Marrakech to the desert in 15 days, following a packed itinerary (we wanted to see it all!) put together by KimKim travel consultant, Louis. Louis was fabulous in working not only with me as the group's point person, but another adult on the trip who himself was acting as "agent" for about 8-9 of the travelers. It was of knives in the air to juggle, and Louis managed to take this small group through an amazing taste of Morocco. We traveled Christmas day through January 10th; the weather throughout was perfect for travelling - never too hot or too cold. We had a wonderful local driver, Younes, who stuck with our group the entire way, and made traveling the many miles we covered absolutely a dream for those of us chatting, playing games, and sleeping on the comfy van between stops. All the lodging arranged by KimKim was great in terms of location, cleanliness, efficiency, and staffing - we never had any complaints (except when the Fes riad put our 86-year mother on the 3rd floor of a riad in Fes with very a very windy staircase - they moved her after the first night and were very apologetic). Highlights and not-to-miss include the medina in Tangier overlooking the Med Sea, Chefchaouen (the blue city), Rabat's Chellah and Kasbah, the Hassan Mosque in Casablanca, Essaouira medina, the Fes medina and quick visits to the tanneries and pottery factory, the argan oil collective, roof-top dining and shopping in the Marrakech medina, and every day of our 4-day trip to the Western Sahara desert to glamp under the stars. Thank you to again to Louis and Youness and the rest of the crew at KimKim. You took a rowdy bunch of family members and got us through Morocco in style.

The desert portion of our 15-day trip was definitely a crowd favorite. Everything went really well, including our camel ride to the campsite with a stop just short to watch the sunset and climb the dunes. Drop dead breathtaking! The campsite itself was very pretty, comfortable, and a great way to watch the stars, share a good meal, and listen to Berber music. Don't miss the opportunity to go to the desert - even though it is quite a long side-trip from Marrakech, all of our small group of 6 who did it were so glad we did!

Tangier

The group all enjoyed Tangier quite a bit - all of the imperial cities sited on the ocean or sea scored very highly with us! We had 3-4 days in Tangier, so were able to explore it more thoroughly than some of the other cities we visited. The medina on top of a bluff was our first taste of old walled cities in Morocco, and it did not disappoint. We had a great tour and guide (Yasmine) as we explored the old city, including an old synagogue and Jewish cemetery that were fascinating. The views and vista over the Med Sea were breathtaking - we were able to see Spain across the sea as well.

Sefrou was the one disappointment on our trip of 15 days. We were dropped off on a holiday (January 1st) early in the morning, and either because of the holiday or early hour, the city was quiet and shops were all closed. Even though our group had asked KimKim about the holiday's impact on our visit, we were assured it would still be worth the visit to go to Sefrou. Without the artisan shops open and bustling, our group felt like intruders on a small town. We had a great rest of the day traveling to Ifrine and hiking, but be aware of holiday closures in your trip planning.

The Half-Day Guided Tour of Marrakech was mostly enjoyable as we got to explore the souks and major gates of the city, which were quite walkable. However, our guide, while nice, seemed to have a preference for taking us to pricier places, which wasn't ideal. It felt like there might have been a kickback involved, leading us to overpay for some items.

My wife and I had the pleasure of visiting and exploring Morocco with the help of kimkim from January 21 - January 29, 2025 (9 days). We put 1,318 km (819 miles) on the Mercedes! The following was our itinerary: Arrive in Casablanca; Rabat (1 night); Fes (2 nights); Midelt (1 night); Merzouga (1 night); Boumalne Dades (1 night); and Marrakesh (2 nights). Majid was the local specialist who, from the moment we booked our trip, was instrumental in guiding us along our amazing journey from city to city and across the Moroccan countryside. He was the perfect quarterback who drew up winning plays and called for last-minute changes to ensure all of our needs were met. There were also several tour guides who helped us become intimately familiar with the religiously and historically significant aspects of each city and site we visited, and we appreciated each and every one of them. So, now, for the best part of the trip: Mouad. Mouad was our driver/guide/friend with whom we spent several hours each day, as we traversed the Moroccan shorelines, the High Atlas Mountains and the Sahara Desert (we will, by the way, never forget the sight of the stary night in the desert!). From the moment Mouad greeted us with his big, bright and contagious smile, we knew that we were in for a treat! He greeted my wife with a bouquet of flowers, which was so very thoughtful of him. He was, quite literally, happy, talkative and engaging the entire time. He went above and beyond each and every single day to make sure that every single one of our needs were met, no questions asked--zero hesitation. He then surprised us with a heart-shaped cake to celebrate our 13th anniversary, in the middle of the Sahara Desert no less! We cannot say enough wonderful things about Mouad, and Majid was not kidding when he told us (initially) that Mouad was one of his star players. We left Morocco having made a special friend! I encourage kimkim and Majid to continue to recognize the professionalism and love with which Mouad performs his work (although we're sure he does not even consider it work!) by giving him a call (+212-658-774107) to say Thank You! We sure are grateful to Mouad, Majid and the entire kimkim Team for making our Morocco trip one for the ages!

Where to start? This was SUCH a terrific trip! As we were planning our Morocco trip, we Zoomed with Majid to talk about priorities for a 9-day, 2-person trip with a driver; he put together a detailed itinerary that fit our needs and budget. It took us on a counterclockwise loop from Marrakech to the desert to Fez, then Chefchauen and finally to Casablanca. Rabat, Tangier and Agadir will have to wait until next trip.

We are the kind of travelers that usually prefer to make our own itinerary, but choosing KimKim to plan our trip turned out to be a wise choice. Having a van and driver felt indulgent, but for such an epic trip, it made our trip so relaxed and enjoyable. The accommodations were mostly family-owned, safe, clean, friendly, charming places, which we loved. If you looked for things to complain about, they could be found (a light bulb out, a confusing shower controls situation, whatever), but nothing unclean or impacting sleep or hygiene, and all had decent Wifi and wonderful Moroccan food, but could also accommodate other dietary needs. Most places were riads (older, renovated buildings with a central garden/courtyard with all windows facing the courtyard), and at least this time of year (late January), quiet and super customer-oriented.

For two of us with a driver, the driver can make or break the trip; Mohamed was just terrific. Personable, low-key, smart, flexible, experienced and very safe. Since we wanted to touch a lot of far-flung bases, we were literally 30+ hours on the road. One thing I hadn't anticipated was, at least with Mohamed, how relaxing the road travel can be when you don't have to drive and don't have to worry about the unknowns. We just sat back and enjoyed the ever-changing landscapes, and whenever the urge to take a photo struck, Mohamed would pull over or tell us that a good photo spot was coming. He also was able to adapt our itinerary by stopping at local places of interest, time permitting.

That road-time also gave us plenty of time to ask whatever questions we had about the country, the people or what we were seeing out the window, which made for pretty effortless learning. I basically travel to gain perspective, and having ready answers to whatever crossed my mind was a joy.

A tension point with guided tours is that shops incentivize guides/drivers to bring customers, so you can end up in way-overpriced shops where they ply you with food/drink treats, have a personable host guide and inform you, then give you the hard sell at the end. Mohamed avoided such places, though I'm sure there are endless such establishments. Such a blessing.

In Marrakech and Fez, local guides took us through the city sites, and both were personable, knowledgeable fluent English speakers who provided good perspectives on what we were seeing. There seemed to be less personal crime in Morocco than other developing countries I've been, but Mohamed and our guides were nicely safety-oriented. We never felt unsafe, and it made for an stress-free relaxing trip. Sometimes, 9 days in a developing country can feel exhausting; with a trip like this, I could have stayed indefinitely.

We were connected with Majid via WhatsApp, in case we had any questions or concerns, which we appreciated. In the end though, we never needed to call him for anything. The only suprise along the way was a dinner with a host family that had to be cancelled due to host illness. Majid and Mohamed deftly handled that, and provided a delightful memorable private rooftop dining experience at our riad that we'll long remember.

We stumbled upon KimKim online, so we sent our deposit, part of me was thinking, I hope KimKim is real - maybe this trip is a little too good to be true? Alas - Mohammed actually WAS waiting for us at the Marrakech airport with a little sign with our name on it. And so began one of our all-time favorite trips. Morocco is a fascinating country, with friendly people, amazing landscapes, and wonderful food. And KimKim provided an unforgettable experience.

When unexpected issues arose in our travel plans (beyond his control), he handled them with grace and efficiency. On the rare occasions when someone else had to take over driving, we found ourselves missing Soufian’s lighthearted and playful banter.

The Moroccan people, in general, impressed us with their genuine warmth, friendliness, and quick smiles, but Soufian truly embodied these qualities in the best way possible. Our time with him felt far too short, and we’ll cherish the memories we created together.

Additionally Sharif was an outstanding tour guide, and our visit to Fez was truly enhanced by his expertise and thoughtful approach. From the outset, he impressed us with his extensive knowledge and passion for the city’s history and culture. When he outlined the detailed itinerary for our four-hour tour, I expressed concerns about whether it might be too challenging for my 83-year-old mother, who has mobility issues. The itinerary included significant walking, particularly through the bustling Medina. However, Sharif immediately adapted to our needs with remarkable patience and understanding.

Throughout the tour, he was incredibly attentive to my mother, always ensuring she felt comfortable and supported. He found creative ways to navigate the sometimes-difficult terrain of the Medina, and his kindness and care did not go unnoticed. His background as a university-trained linguist shone through, making the experience enjoyable and accessible even for us, as English-only speakers. He communicated complex historical and cultural details with clarity, making the tour both educational and engaging.

The tour itself was exceptionally well-organized, taking us to a variety of fascinating sites while offering deep insights into the vibrant history and traditions of Fez. Sharif’s ability to balance an ambitious schedule with a personalized touch truly stood out. Thanks to him, we were able to complete the entire tour without feeling rushed or overwhelmed, despite the physical challenges.

I wholeheartedly recommend Sharif to anyone visiting Fez. His professionalism, expertise, and genuine care for his guests make him a truly exceptional guide. I am confident that you, too, will have an unforgettable experience in his capable hands.

Thanks so much to both of these men.

For a 23 day trip, Ayoub was critical to our experience. We couldn’t say enough good things about Ayoub, all without any reservation. We are very grateful to Ayoub for everything he did for us.

Mohamed was a pleasure to deal with in arranging our trip. He was extremely responsive. For the most part, we are very pleased with the itinerary he came up with that we worked on together. In retrospect, we would have made one small change only and that was where we spent NYE. The trip was very well planned.

The only issue we had was the choice for some of the places we stayed. Star ratings are not necessarily consistent with North American ratings.

When we were in Morocco, Said was our contact. Once again, Said was very responsive and caring. We had a few glitches here and there with specific bookings and changes. Not all were solvable but Said did what he could and where something couldn’t be fixed he was concerned that we were satisfied with whatever resolution he could find.

Overall, we had an excellent trip and the service we received, particularly from Ayoub, was a big contributors to that experience.

We had a wonderful trip that exceeded our expectations. The pre trip preparations with Hakim were easy and he was very flexible in tailoring the trip to our schedule and our interests. I felt like together we came up with a good plan and it was well executed. Success in sports is a combination of planning and talent and the same can be said about our experience this past week. It was a successful trip because it was well planned with talented individuals helping us along the way.
That had to start with our driver Hakim. He could not have been more accommodating, personable, and good company for the week. Additionally he was an excellent driver and made sure we were well taken care of and the schedule we set was followed precisely. He was always early, always available, and we always felt we were in good hands knowing he was there.
The local guides were all very knowledgeable and pleasant and I felt we came away from each day with a better understanding of the history and culture everywhere we stopped. Our guides in Rabat and Marrakech should be singled out as theywere both not only informative but also fun to be with. We had a hand in setting the schedule and if I were to do it again I would change the morning tour of Casablanca and not have toured the Jewish sites. They were interesting but I felt in retrospect we should have devoted the limited time we had in Casablanca to seeing something else. That was on us for wanting some type of Jewish experience, but we got that in Marrakech and my suggestion would be if you have other clients with limited time looking to tour Jewish sites, steer them to Marrakech.
The extras like the balloon ride, the cooking class and hammam were all terrific also and again well organized. This was at or near the top of the list for best vacations we’ve been on. Thanks for your help in making it happen.

As this was more of a standard luxury hotel and not a traditional riad it wasn’t as interesting as our stays in Fes and Marrakech. Having said that it was a great place to stay and the restaurant and courtyard area were lovely. The breakfast was probably the most elaborate we had during our stay. The staff was also very solicitous but we were only there one night so we had little interaction with staff.

Probably the weak link of the tour.

We could have probably skipped doing this in Casablanca. We incorporated a few Jewish sites in Marrakech and that would have been enough for us. Would rather have seen other sites in Casablanca. That was on us though as we only had the morning there and chose to do the heritage tour. Had a nice meal and experience at Rick’s Cafe the night before.

My family and I enjoyed many parts of our trip to Morocco beginning with the original city center in Rabat, the Andalusian Gardens and Chellah Necropolis.
Charif, a licensed tour guide, a very welcome addition to our tour joined us in Fes. The Roman ruins of Volubilis , tour of Fes and dining experience with a local family in Fes were both interesting and valued experiences. We did not have the dining experience at L'Amandier Palais Faraj.

The Tiziri Luxury Camp was a unique and thoroughly enjoyable experience. Staff there were cheerful and helpful but it would have been an asset to have Charif with us (there were no accomondations available for him) .

Marrakesh was an interesting city and the Secret Gardens were delightful. The food tour coming at the end of our trip was less interesting as it consisted almost enrtirely (snails excepted) of items we had sampled many times before. The dinner at the end of the food tour was up two steep flights of stairs to a mediocre setting where we were served the poorest meats of the trip - dry and overcooked.

The accommodations were beautiful and comfortable, an experience in and of themselves.

I will take some responsibility for not being explicit enough regarding my limitations but I see no indication that Said read or took seriously any of my requests or comments as we planned this trip. His description of Rachid as a driver guide who could provide us with knowledge of sites, culture and history was frankly preposterous. He did add Charif on Day 3 and we all appreciated his expertise.

The pacing of the trip was not good with too many hours riding in the van and not enough time to explore the sites we were in. Said's travel time estimates were universally off. This was epitomized by the trip to Chefchouen where we arrived at 8:00 PM and the hotel was still a 1/2 mile steep climb from the street (I got a ride with the luggage but the rest hiked it). The itinerary showed a number of interesting sites but no time to see any of them. We delayed our departure the next morning to noon but there were only two people of the group willing and able to hike up and down that mountainside. I would eliminate that stop from the itinerary unless it was a two night stay and although the hotel was lovely and the staff wonderful it was not an appropriate choice for us.

The Casablanca Hotel and Merzouga were the only sites where we were transported to the entrance; several other hotels involved walking 5-10 minutes from the van to the accommodation. A statement by Said that the van would be available at all times, even during walking tours proved quite inaccurate. There were many place the van simply couldn't go. On the last day my daughter and I got a ride from the Secret Gardens to the van via a motorbike cab, a welcome accommodation I would gladly have paid for during the entire tour.

I expected to sit by at points during the tour as I recognize my limitations but it was disappointing to realize that Said didn't attend to that or our desire for a competent tour guide from the onset.

None of these criticisms is meant to indicate that the trip was a bust for I did enjoy seeing this beautiful country with my family that had been on my wish list for some time. I'm sure most or all of them would rate the experience highly and I invite you to ask them directly. Their perspective is certainly different from mine. I know we all appreciated Charif.

Hi Sandra,

Thank you for sharing your detailed feedback—it’s truly important to us, and I’m glad to hear that many parts of your trip were enjoyable, especially the experiences with Charif, the Tiziri Camp, and the beautiful sites across Morocco.

To address your concerns: travel times in Morocco can vary due to road conditions and traffic, and while we do our best to provide accurate estimates, they are always approximations. It’s also the first time we’ve received such critical feedback regarding the pacing and the riad locations. We do make it clear that many riads are located in the heart of medinas, where cars are not allowed, and this sometimes requires a short walk from the parking area. This is a unique aspect of staying in these beautiful, traditional accommodations, and most of our guests have appreciated the experience, often commenting that the short walk adds to the charm of their stay.

Regarding Chefchaouen, I understand how the late arrival and steep climb may have impacted your experience, and I will certainly take this feedback into account for future planning. It’s a location that truly shines with a two-night stay, and I’ll ensure that’s better communicated moving forward.

I’m also sorry to hear about your experience with the food tour and some of the meals. We take great pride in offering unique and high-quality dining experiences, and it’s disappointing to learn that this one did not meet your expectations. I’ll review this with our team to ensure improvements are made.

Lastly, I want to acknowledge the concern about having a guide available throughout the trip and your expectations regarding Rachid’s role. While Rachid is an experienced driver-guide, he is not a licensed tour guide, which is why we brought in Charif to provide the in-depth knowledge and expertise you were looking for. I’m glad Charif’s presence added value to your experience.

I appreciate your understanding of the logistical limitations in some areas, such as the van’s accessibility during walking tours. We will explore better solutions, like motorbike cabs, in the future to make such transitions more comfortable for travelers with specific needs.

Thank you again for traveling with us and for taking the time to provide such thoughtful feedback. I’m so glad you were able to see and enjoy Morocco with your family, and I truly value your comments as they help us improve. If there’s anything more you’d like to discuss, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

Warmly,
Said.

Morocco is truly a magical place. The magic we experienced was carefully and thoughtfully planned by Majid and perfectly delivered by our driver/spirit guide/new family member Mouad. From the initial itinerary planning through the all-too-soon drop off at the airport to return home, our every request and interest was catered to. We cannot thank Majid and Mouad enough for sharing their country, culture, history, homes, and most of all themselves with us.
Majid crafted a perfectly tailored experience based on our requests. He did this quickly, affordably, and with great communication. He included every highlight we dreamed our Moroccan trip could include: the narrow ancient streets of the Medina in Fes, the other worldly dunes of the Sahara on camel back, the awe inspiring mosque in Casablanca, the frenetic square in Marrakech, and so much more. The best highlight though was our private driver Mouad. Not only did he work incredibly hard as our driver (getting us to our destinations safely, comfortably, and calmly), but he truly went above and beyond making stops along the way to share hidden gems, teaching us about life in Morocco, looking out for our safety and comfort, and even inviting us to his family home in the desert. He anticipated our needs (snacks!) and comfort making adjustments on the fly. For example, he anticipated that we would be too cold in our luxury desert tent (January nights get very cold in the desert) and was able to secure us accommodations in a sister luxury hotel for the evening. Speaking of which, the Sahara is an absolute must part of a trip to Morocco and we recommend giving yourself a few days in the area to experience as much as you can.
We would absolutely go back to Morocco, and if that opportunity arises, we will absolutely be calling Majid and Mouad again.

We loved staying at this Riad. It was wonderful. On our first day we had a really large room with views of the inner courtyard. We enjoyed a wonderful dinner that night with a Belly dancer show and singers. An unexpected experience. Everyone at the Riad was super friendly and kind. Even one of the waiters remembered that my husbands stomach was not feeling so good and offered to make him a special tea. On our return from the desert we stayed here again for one night and stayed in a smaller room above the pool area. This one was not as glamorous but everything worked well.

I had a reservation for this Hammam however at the last minute our driver took us to a different one without telling us. I felt a little uneasy about this change. It decided to just give it a chance. The Hammam we went to was Les Bains de Alhambra and it turned out to be very good service. I’m still not sure why the change was done when I had clearly requested that one.

We want to express our deepest gratitude for the outstanding service we received during our tour of Morocco. Karim, our guide, and Ikhelf, our driver, not only fulfilled their duties but consistently went above and beyond to ensure we had an unforgettable experience.

Tangier was our first stop, and Karim introduced us to the city’s rich history with great enthusiasm. He guided us through the Medina, Cape Spartel, and the Hercules Caves, sharing fascinating anecdotes and historical facts that brought these places to life.

In Fes, Karim led us through its impressive Medina, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, helping us appreciate the city’s ancient traditions. His patience and attention to detail were remarkable, especially during our visit to the Chouwara tannery, where he explained the intricate processes of traditional leatherwork.
Chefchaouen felt like a dream in blue. Karim not only showed us the city’s iconic spots but also took us to local artisans’ workshops, allowing us to engage with their craft and learn more about their work. This personal touch made the visit even more special.

At the Roman ruins of Volubilis, Karim amazed us with his knowledge of ancient history. Every mosaic and column had a story behind it, and he ensured we fully understood and appreciated them.

In Casablanca, we visited the Hassan II Mosque, and thanks to Karim’s explanations, we were able to grasp both its architectural brilliance and its cultural significance. We also enjoyed a stroll along the Corniche, where he shared excellent local recommendations.

Rabat allowed us to discover landmarks such as the Hassan Tower, the Mausoleum of Mohammed V, and the Kasbah of the Udayas. Karim highlighted the historical significance of each site, connecting the dots of Moroccan history in a clear and passionate way.

Finally, Marrakech was a vibrant burst of colors and culture. From Jemaa el-Fna Square to the Majorelle Gardens and Bahia Palace, Karim made every corner meaningful. He even took the time to personalize our experience by suggesting additional activities and places based on our interests.

Ikhelf, on the other hand, was an incredible professional. He always greeted us with a smile and ensured that our journeys between cities were smooth and safe. His kindness and willingness to assist us at every moment were truly exceptional.

What truly impressed us was how both Karim and Ikhelf exceeded our expectations at every turn. Whether it was sharing personal stories, offering local insights, or ensuring every detail of the trip was flawless, they were always one step ahead.

We are deeply grateful for their dedication and would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking to explore Morocco in an authentic and enriching way. Thank you for making this journey truly special!

We did not have the best experience at this hotel. Lacks upkeep and maintenance. The hotel itself is beautiful and the rooms spacious, but the showers were not comfortable as you could not adjust the height and direction of the water, (all due because the shower base was not properly installed. Also, our party had to be changed of their room as they found cockroaches on the one they had been assigned. The lady on the front desk should not be in a customer facing role, you can see she does not enjoy her role. She will rarely smile and got in a heated argument with our guide as he was asking for help. On the other hand the staff in the restaurant was all very pleasant and was attentive to keeping everything clean.

Morocco is truly a magical place. The magic we experienced was carefully and thoughtfully planned by Majid and perfectly delivered by our driver/spirit guide/new family member Mouad. From the initial itinerary planning through the all-too-soon drop off at the airport to return home, our every request and interest was catered to. We cannot thank Majid and Mouad enough for sharing their country, culture, history, homes, and most of all themselves with us.
Majid crafted a perfectly tailored experience based on our requests. He did this quickly, affordably, and with great communication. He included every highlight we dreamed our Moroccan trip could include: the narrow ancient streets of the Medina in Fes, the other worldly dunes of the Sahara on camel back, the awe inspiring mosque in Casablanca, the frenetic square in Marrakech, and so much more. The best highlight though was our private driver Mouad. Not only did he work incredibly hard as our driver (getting us to our destinations safely, comfortably, and calmly), but he truly went above and beyond making stops along the way to share hidden gems, teaching us about life in Morocco, looking out for our safety and comfort, and even inviting us to his family home in the desert. He anticipated our needs (snacks!) and comfort making adjustments on the fly. For example, he anticipated that we would be too cold in our luxury desert tent (January nights get very cold in the desert) and was able to secure us accommodations in a sister luxury hotel for the evening. Speaking of which, the Sahara is an absolute must part of a trip to Morocco and we recommend giving yourself a few days in the area to experience as much as you can.
We would absolutely go back to Morocco, and if that opportunity arises, we will absolutely be calling Majid and Mouad again.
