Kimkim Trip Reviews for Morocco

Hachim was absolutely fabulous as our local specialist. He consistently offered experiences and information that touched my heart deeply and also immersed me into the culture of Morocco. I am a longtime educator and only wish I could have recorded him as he skillfully explained what I was seeing, it's significance and connection to history/culture, and shared how Morracan families live in varied settings. He explained the economics, geography, the Muslim religion, and historical influences which was fascinating and made me want to learn more. I fell in love with the country and people. Hachim is an excellent teacher and invites his listener into learning.

I also want to remark on him personally. He offers a warm heart and hand making everyone around him feel welcome. When confronted with inconveniences or tour member needs/adjustments, he responded professionally and immediately making visitors feel heard and respected.

Thank you Hachim and KimKim for such a wondrous adventure.

Kimberly Brunetto

Our trip to Morocco was incredible from start to finish! KimKim made it very easy to plan the perfect trip, and everything was seamlessly coordinated throughout our trip. Our driver, Ilyace, was absolutely wonderful. He was punctual and very easy to get along with. Most importantly, he drove safely through mountain passes and winding roads. He ensured that we stopped to stretch our legs at interesting sites during our long travel days, and he brought us to fantastic and authentic Moroccan cuisine along the way. Our riads were beautiful (especially in Marrakesh and the camping experience in the desert), the food was incredible everywhere we went, and the tours were a great way to learn about the history of the cities.

Tiziri Luxury Camp

Merzouga

Everything about this experience was incredible. Our visit started with a 2-hour camel ride to the camp site, then we were welcomed with tea and pastries on arrival. Our "tent" was perfect with all of the amenities we would need -- electrical outlets, full bathroom, heater (if needed), fans (if needed), comfortable bed, wifi. We were made to feel at home by the staff at the camp. We had delicious meals for breakfast and dinner (and they accommodated vegetarian preferences with delicious meal as well), followed by stargazing and a drum circle around a campfire. On our second day at the camp, the staff organized a tour for us around the desert and an ATV ride in the afternoon. Overall, this was incredibly special part of our trip, and we would highly recommend this experience.

Guides, Drivers and Staff

Our trip to Morocco was absolutely unforgettable! From start to finish, everything was incredible — the sights, the experiences, and especially the people who made it all possible.

Hassan, the owner of Under Moroccan Sun, made planning our trip so easy and stress-free. He responded quickly to every question and detail, no matter how small, and made sure everything was perfectly arranged before we even arrived. His professionalism and care gave us total peace of mind throughout the planning process.

Once we arrived, our driver, Ismail, made the journey truly exceptional. He was spectacular — kind, attentive, and always going above and beyond. He paid close attention to every detail, ensuring we were comfortable, safe, and enjoying every moment. His knowledge, warmth, and genuine care turned a wonderful trip into something truly extraordinary.

We can’t thank Hassan and Ismail enough for making this such a memorable experience. If you’re thinking about visiting Morocco, Under Moroccan Sun is the way to go — they made our dream trip a reality!

Our girls trip to Morocco was truly the experience of a lifetime! From start to finish, everything was perfectly organized. Yassine did such an amazing job — he responded quickly, was so easy to work with, and took care of every detail. The hotels and riads he chose were beautiful, comfortable, and full of Moroccan charm.
Our driver, Younes, was incredible! He was always on time every morning, looked out for us everywhere we went, and made us feel safe and comfortable the entire trip. He wasn’t just a driver — he was a tour guide, translator, and a friend. His knowledge about Morocco, sense of humor, and positive energy made every day so much fun. He was a big part of what made this trip special.
In Fes, we met our guide Zahra who was fantastic! She was incredibly knowledgeable, engaging, and funny — we laughed with her all day. It honestly felt like we had known her for years. She had such a special way of connecting with us and bringing the city’s history to life. Spending the day with her was one of the highlights of our trip.
The entire experience went above and beyond our expectations. Everything ran smoothly, we felt cared for every step of the way, and we left Morocco with unforgettable memories and new friends. I can’t recommend this company enough.

Hassan helped put together a great trip! Accommodated to the things we cared about most for the short trip we had. There were a few things on the itinerary there wasn’t enough time to fit in based on the amount of driving, but that was ok our guide Moha was absolutely wonderful. He was knowledgeable, on time, and flexible to the itinerary. All details were handled so well between Hassan and Moha there was very little we had to be concerned with beyond enjoying the trip. Moha & Hassan enabled us to be extremely efficient with our time which is invaluable on an overseas trip. Will use KimKim again!

Our recent trip to Morocco was an unforgettable adventure filled with beauty, culture, and moments that truly moved us. From the moment we arrived, everything flowed effortlessly and we owe much of that to our incredible driver and guide, Ismail.
Having a private driver made all the difference. Ismail not only drove with the utmost care and confidence (his vehicle was spacious and extremely comfortable), but more importantly, he made sure we felt safe and cared for every step of the way even when we were off on our own in the souks, museums, or restaurants. His calm presence, local knowledge, and attentiveness gave us the freedom to relax and enjoy the magic of Morocco without worry.
Each city offered something unique:
Rabat surprised us with its cleanliness, upscale vibe and historical richness. A highlight was unexpectedly bumping into the Prince at dinner, it was a surreal and delightful surprise!
Fes was a true cultural immersion from the ancient tanneries to the intricate artisan workshops. Walking the labyrinth of Fes el Bali with a guide felt like traveling back in time.
Marrakech was vibrant and alive, we soaked in the rhythm of the medina, savored exquisite meals, relaxed in lush gardens, and experienced unforgettable moments like a hot air balloon ride which was soul quenching! Not scary at all!
We’re incredibly grateful for every moment, every connection, and everyone who made this journey seamless and memorable.

We had an absolutely amazing experience in Morocco, thanks to Kimkim! It was such a relief to have someone help us curate the trip of our dreams. Every detail was thoughtfully planned, allowing us to sit back, relax, and truly get to know the country through local tour guides who brought a wonderful sense of authenticity to our journey.

Said was fantastic—always quick to respond and attentive to our needs throughout the trip. Our private driver, Tayebb, made our travels even more enjoyable. He was personable, courteous, and an absolute pleasure to spend time with. We could not have asked for a better driver.

Redouane was a fabulous guide through the markets of Marrakech, filling our ears with history and great stories. He was the ultimate professional and made the experience come alive. In Fes, Shariff did an amazing job helping us navigate the city’s intricate streets and hidden gems—his knowledge and enthusiasm made our visit truly special.

I look forward to utilizing Kimkim’s services for future travels. They are honest, responsive, and kind—everything you could hope for in a travel consulting agency. Thank you for helping us create such unforgettable memories!

We had 11 days to tour 7 cities in Morocco. Winnie and Megan organized everything from hotels to drivers and guides to a T. Mohamed (Momo) our driver (now adopted nephew), took spectacular care of us, answering all our questions and sharing his love and knowledge of his beautiful country. The people in Morocco are all so kind and lovely, the food was wonderful, the cities vibrant and exotic, the countryside diverse and beautiful. If you are curious at all, GO VISIT MOROCCO and ask for Momo at Wanderlust! He’ll take good care of you!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Trip of a Lifetime in Morocco — Perfectly Planned & Unforgettable!

We just returned from the most magical journey through Morocco, organized through KimKim and we cannot recommend them highly enough! Every moment of this trip was thoughtfully planned, perfectly paced, and filled with unforgettable experiences.

Our guide and driver, Illyce from Origins Travel, made this trip extraordinary. He was warm, funny, incredibly knowledgeable, and an exceptional driver through every twist of the mountains and desert. Traveling with him felt like being shown Morocco by a friend who loves his country deeply and wants you to love it too.

A huge thank-you to Said from KimKim, the local agent who customized our trip to our interests with perfection. The itinerary balanced historical sites, cultural immersion, incredible scenery, adventure, and time to savor each destination.

Every accommodation was unique, beautiful, and full of Moroccan charm:
• Rabat — Riad Kalaa
• Chefchaouen — Lina Ryad & Spa
• Fes — Riad Fes Maya Suite & Spa
• Merzouga Desert — Sahara Sky Luxury Camp
• Ouarzazate — Riad Tama & Spa
• Marrakesh — Riad Hikaya
Each property was beautiful and the staff warm and welcoming. All the hotels were perfect!

There are too many highlights to list them all, but here are a few:
• Exploring the blue city of Chefchaouen and hiking to the Spanish Mosque at sunset
• Private tour of Fes with visits to the tile cooperative, rug artisans, and tannery — and yes, we brought treasures home!
• Sunset camel ride and starlit drum circle at Sahara Sky Luxury Camp
• Quad biking in the Sahara was a true adventure! Really amazing to be deep in the dunes
• The extraordinary hospitality of the Berber people in the High Atlas, including lunch in a mountain village home
• Private tours of Marrakesh, especially our incredible guide Abdelhak who was the best city guide we’ve had in any country!
• A spectacular food tour in Jemaa el-Fnaa square at dusk — so much delicious food!
• Scenic drives through the Atlas Mountains, complete with feeding wild monkeys on the roadside

Morocco is now one of our favorite destinations in the world. The beauty, history, food, people, and culture captured us completely. Traveling with KimKim made it effortless and extraordinary. We could not give a higher recommendation. If you're dreaming of Morocco, arrange your trip with KimKim, and if you can, ask for Illyce. He made our trip unforgettable.

Riad Hikaya

MARRAKECH

This probably was our favorite hotel. In the heart of the Marrakesh medina, this hotel's tile work and furnishings were amazing and our room was so beautifully done it made us feel like we were in a room at a palace. A truly great staff who worked really hard to make sure everything was perfect. Also, the best breakfasts we had the whole trip!

Ouarzazate

We were a little skeptical as we rode down the lane to get to the hotel as it felt like it was in the middle of nowhere. However, the minute the front door opened we were enchanted! It was a true oasis with flowers and vines surrounding a lovely large courtyard and beautiful rooms. The rooftop had a Hammam and BOY DID WE LOVE THAT! We ate dinner there and it was wonderful, as was the breakfast. A truly delightful place to stay in Ouazazate.

Sahara Sky Luxury Camp

Merzouga

This adventure was one of the highlights of our trip. From the camel ride at sunset in the sand dunes to our luxury tent to the delicious meal and the exuberant Berber drum circle - it was all perfect! Thank you to the manager Hassan for spending time chatting with us and outlining some of the Berber traditions and cultural highlights. It was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience!

I am pretty sure real Berbers don't have swanky tents like this, but all the touches were genuine!

Location

This part of the Sahara has sand as soft as powder and it is the most gorgeous terra cotta color.

Staff

So friendly and polite and we LOVED the drum circle around the camp fire.

The location was perfection and the room was large and airy. We loved being able to roam the streets of Chefchaouen and then quickly pop back to the hotel to stow our purchases in the room so we didn't have to lug them around. Great set up for breakfast and an excellent staff.

Beautiful riad in the medina with a rooftop plunge pool and fabulous restaurant. As we had just arrived in Morocco, it was wonderful to relax on the rooftop after arriving and have a delicious dinner right in the riad. I highly recommend!

Fes to Merzouga Sunset Camel Ride via Midelt & Erfoud

Morocco

Totally amazing experience! The location of the Saraha Sky Luxury Camp is absolutely perfect as it is set within the spectacular sand dunes. The camel ride was so fun, and we really didn't think we would like that part. The camel guide was charming and knew all the photos to catch in order to capture the beauty of the sunset. The camp itself had really nice tents with super comfy beds. Dinner and breakfast are served and the staff does a Berber drum circle after dinner around a camp fire. An absolutely wonderful place and experience.

Our guides, Feta and Hamid were wonderful.
We did not have a guide in Rabat, which we found out once we were in Rabat.
Our driver Mohammed was great. He was always on time. He was courteous and always enquired if I was getting car sick. The vehicle was clean. He invited to his home for Friday lunch couscous., which was very kind and welcoming.

Half-Day Private Sightseeing Tour in Rabat

We did not get a private tour, so how can I review this? And I did not appreciate finding out once we were in Rabat, there was no tour guide.

Quality of Experience

Guides, Drivers and Staff

Guides were well informed and attentive.

Mohammed was very attentive and let us know when and how far the next stop was, particularly for bathroom breaks.

Majid worked with us closely to craft our fun 2 week itinerary in Morocco, asking us many questions and truly customizing for us. He was so responsive and helpful, and we are so grateful he connected us to Khalid, who was our amazing tour operator. From picking up up in Tangier, driving us all over the countryside to the coast and to many cities and gorgeous sights, to our trip end in exciting Marrakech, Khalid was patient, kind, and very enthusiastic. His love for Morocco really shines and he's a wealth of knowledge himself. We enjoyed our conversations and learned a lot, and Khalid also arranged many fun and interesting individual tours for us in each locale. We hope to have Khalid as our guide again!

Our family had an amazing 10-day trip to Morocco over the New Year’s Eve holiday early this year. Morocco was a very good choice for our trip - so many friendly people, beautiful landscapes and fascinating history. The itinerary put together with Hamza really made the trip for us. We started in Rabat, which let us see the capital city first to get oriented, and then traveled around the country clockwise, ending in Marrakesh.

The highlights of the trip for us are too many to mention. Off the top of my head: seeing macaques in the snow in the Middle Atlas mountains, riding camels at sunset in the Erg Chebbi desert, learning how to properly prepare Moroccan tea in Imlil, seeing daily life in the backstreets of Marrakesh, eating dinner with a local family in Fes, and taking pictures all of the many, many cats.

We were fortunate to have Samir as our driver for the trip. Samir is an excellent and professional driver, very safe and knowledgeable. He was skilled at communicating the logistics of our tour, keeping us informed and checking in on us through WhatsApp. Meeting times and places were always clear and easy. Samir made sure we moved efficiently from place to place, found our other local guides, and helped us get the most out of everything along the way. Samir’s many kind touches along the way were a great part of our wonderful trip.

Samir suggested many stops based on our interests, and all of them were top-notch additions. We especially enjoyed the Atlas movie studio visit in Ouarzazate, the stop at a geology museum and rock shop, and many interesting food and cultural places along the way. His advice on local customs and his familiarity with towns and people and food along the way were a big help.

All of our local guides were also outstanding: Sharif in Fes, Hanan in Marrakesh, Ahmed at Tiziri Camp in the Sahara, and Mohammed in Imlil.

Our driver Mohamed was excellent but the trip planning by Hassan was not detailed or customized to our trip. When reading the notes it seemed like Hassan cut and pasted someone else's itinerary onto our trip. Guides were missing at some of the stops and there was no attempt to compensate us or deal with the problem.

We just returned from an amazing adventure in Morocco. Working with Kim Kim and Sharon was great. Sharon worked with us to plan a trip that combined the right amount of guided touring with free time. She was able to curate the trip so we could do everything we wanted. Highlights include a cooking class with Narwa and her family, guided tours with Mohamed in Marakesh, Hassan in Fes and Hassana in Rabat. Our tour manager, Rashid was excellent. He was so helpful, timely and funny. We felt very cared for as he navigated around the country and made sure we had what we needed in every city.

Working with Kim Kim was so easy. Sharon was responsive and helpful and once on the ground, Abdou, her partner checked in and was so helpful. One example- I left some antibiotics on the airplane and Abdou helped me get some in Marakesh.

We will definitely work with Kim Kim again and would highly encourage anyone going to Morocco to check in with Sharon. She will make your trip amazing!

Afternoon Guided Tour of Rabat

Rabat

Our guide in Rabat was excellent. Although we were with him for a relatively short time, his guidance added a lot to our understanding and enjoyment of the city. I would definitely recommend this guided tour to anyone visiting Rabat.

Driving Tour of Casablanca

Casablanca

The driving tour of Casablanca was nice, but the lunch spot our driver took us to was a bit too touristy for our taste. While the view was beautiful, the food wasn't very good. For future visitors, I would recommend asking for more authentic and interesting dining options.

Guided Tour of Fes

Fes

Our guide Hassan in Fes was equally fantastic and wonderful. His expertise and friendliness enhanced our tour, making it a memorable experience. I highly recommend taking a guided tour with him.

Guided Tour of Marrakech

Marrakesh

Our guided tour of Marrakech with our guide, Mohammed, was incredible. He was amazing, and I wish we could have had him for the entire trip. His knowledge and warmth really made our experience in Marrakech special. I would highly recommend him to anyone visiting the city.

Private Cooking Class w/ Souk Tour

Morocco

The private cooking class with Narwa in Marrakech was absolutely amazing. We made a chicken tagine and some salads, and it was delicious. Narwa was an excellent teacher, and I thoroughly enjoyed the experience. I highly recommend this class to anyone visiting Marrakech!
