Kimkim Trip Reviews for Morocco

Place was awesome, absolutely no complaints on location or people. Only issue was our dinner food (and others staying there as well) was way too westernized. Everyone was expecting a more Berber food experience. Morocco has such amazing food.

The hotel went above and beyond to make our experience great. They even organized a sand bread making experience for us and that was unforgettable. The room is exactly as pictured. You get toilet with flush and shower right in your desert tent. Note: There is no air con in this camp so it’s probably not the best spot for summer.

The food here is amazing. We ate here twice! In terms of the rooms it really depends on which room you got assigned to. The first room we were assigned to was super small and not sound proof, but the second room was super big and nice and quiet.

We had a lot of tasty stops. Come hungry. We didn’t each lunch that day and we were still not hungry enough for this tour! We were so full by the end of the experience we had to take the cookies to go.

We ended up visiting a family in Marrakech outskirts instead of Fez because the Fez family cancelled on us last minute. The family we visited was super nice. We had cookies in their backyard and they showed us how they cooked the food and we had dinner at the living rooms. The food was super home made and tasty. I wish I get to hang out more with the ladies of the house more but they mostly stayed in the kitchen only and didn’t eat with us.

By far the better camel ride between the two we took. When you riding into camp around sunset, everyone else is riding in so it’s super busy. But for sunrise no one else is round so you really get to experience the peacefulness of the desert.

The old man that guided us around was nice and pointed out some super cool things in the little city that we wouldn’t have noticed if he didn’t. We didn’t eat with him and we didn’t need transport so I am not rating food and transport. We enjoyed this leisurely tour.

I have ridden horses all over the world but this is the first time I felt really bad for the horses and a bit unsafe riding. 1. The horses don’t get breaks between rides so they are super tired and irritable. 2. One of the horses we rode on was sick and sneezing the whole time. 3. Because the horses are tired and irritable one of them was constantly aggravating other horses. One of our horses almost went into a fight and the horse it almost fought with then went ahead and fought another horse and the two bucked off their riders 4. Usually you are supposed to take off saddle after a ride but of course since there’s no breaks for the poor horses the saddles stay on

I liked the building but the tour was a bit lacking. Large group tour + not that much info given.

The spa we ended up going to was not the same spa that the organizer said we would be going to. I was a little disappointed because of that and kind of wished I booked my own spa experience. However, the service and experience was good over all. It just wasn’t the spa I wanted to go to.

We had fun zooming in the desert. We didn’t see many people on the dunes so we felt like we were alone in the wild instead of being in a tourist trap. The guide was nice and took a few cool videos for us.

The guide we got for this place was SO good. We only spent an hour with him but I learned so much. Some people may ask why you want to visit a Roman ruin when you can just go to Italy, but if you enjoy history I think it’s worth coming here as it’s the southern reach of the Roman Empire and it’s a bit different than what you see in Rome yet familiar at the same time. In Italy the nice ruins are all quite busy and you can’t get close to things. Here it was so quiet and peaceful and you can walk anywhere you want.

Honestly, kind of a boring ride

Okay this is hands down the best equipped cooking class we ever did. Everyone gets their own station and it was super organized! Nothing but love for this experience!

I really enjoyed the city. It has such a nice energy. To be honest by the time we got to Marrakesh we have already walked through many souks so some of the stuff we saw was a bit repetitive. However, the energy was different. Our guide was fine over all but he make up some facts for some questions we asked. I wish he would just tell us he doesn’t know.

I am glad we got a guide because otherwise I would have thought one of the movie prop was a historical gate. The guide brought us to one of the few houses still being inhabited. We got to look inside and that was interesting. Overall Ait Benhaddou is super busy so expect it to be overrun by tourists when you go. It is the way it is.

The building was nice. We enjoyed the short tour. Overall pretty little garden.

Our guide stopped at many nice photo spots! This is closer to where our guide is from so he knows all the secret photo spots. We also bought some cool minerals from a road side shop. Note: The description mentioned visiting the movie studio but we were told by the driver we don’t have time to do that and I only got to see that studio’s gate.

This is one of those experience that wasn’t exactly fun per se but it was interesting enough because it was such a local experience (1% tourist and 99% local). There were so many people we couldn’t get a good spot for the parade so we just watched from afar. The parade was simple and short but it’s fun looking at the crowd and it was cool to see so many women and children out and about. We also went to a rose product store that is much loved by the locals - the price was definitely local price because all the locals were doing shopping sprees there for rose products. I also got to join a line dance with some local dancers so that was cool too.

I love this spot. Way less busy than historical sites in Rome. The tour guide we had was very good. The lunch spot was decent.

Wish we can have more time at Rabat. The drive itself was a bit boring. Driver doesn’t know much about Rabat. We made a couple stops and was just told to get off and look by ourself. But Chefchoen was a really cute and nice town! We really enjoyed our visit there. We enjoyed walking around there it was safe and super pretty.

The hike was fun! We liked walking around the slot canyons. The guide was a good hiking guide. He knows how to hike safely and brought us up and down the slopes. The lunch with the family was nice too.

We don’t like Fes, it’s the only city we felt unsafe in. Someone tried to scam us to led us somewhere weird and someone else chased us and a couple other people with a dog. If you have to skip a city skip this one. The tour guide himself was fine. He brought us to various places and often times he just leave us at each location to explore on our own. I love pottery but the coop we went to made mediocre work. I have seen much better artisans else where. Transportation wise, the driver leaves you at the edge of old city and you have to make the rest of the way yourself which wasn’t that pleasant to be honest.

I enjoyed the free time given to us to walk around the by the water but honestly Casablanca is a bit lacking as a city and our driver didn’t know much about the city.

The drive was a bit boring but the small fossil museum has some very excellent specimens of trilobites and crinoids that you can walk up very close to. The water wells were also interesting.

I enjoyed this drive we saw three seasons in one day so it was fun! Also we saw monkeys. The drive is super long though so be forewarned.

Everything was closed in the city except for the mausoleum and the souk. The guide tried his best but there was just not much there. I wish Kim Kim warned me about it ahead of time.

It was interesting but I wish our guide can speak better English. But perhaps given how remote this area is that is to be expected.

This was a beautiful riad with a pool, amenities, and overall great character and ambience. The hotel room was small but semi luxe.

The Hotel Room was subpar (there was dust, bugs, and flies everywhere) and not enough space for two luggage bags to be opened on the floor, but the outdoor experience of the hotel was beautiful.

Gorgeous Riad.

This was a special experience. The overall location was good in the sahara desert in the Sand Dunes. Getting there was hard a long 7.5 hour drive for one night. The tent itself was equipped with running water, toilet, two beds, and a fan and lights and outlets to charge your appliances. I did also have wifi.

Good sized room, but difficult to navigate with luggage.

Overall our tour guide was very nice, well natured, and eager to show us her culture. We were exposed to many foods, and overall, I would have expected a different kind of tour, but I would not recommend it again. Perhaps a cooking class would have been more fun.

It was 100 degrees outside, so we tried to avoid the heat, stayed hydrated, and made the most of our location and ventured to modern marrakesh and old marrakesh,

This was such a long journey and we were tired. Our driver karim made sure to make several stops along the way and we felt well rested once we arrived.

I didn't care to see the ruins, it was a very far drive, but I understand why we saw it.

The place has a great lot of history, there's something to see in every corner. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful, the manager and staff went above and beyond to make our stay as comfortable and pleasant.

Was one of the most memorable places. You're transformed into another world once enter the hotel!

Loved everything about Dar Jasmine. The views were incredible, the room was outstanding. Breakfast was very enjoyable.

That was a very memorable experience, highly recommend it. It was very relaxing and interesting!

Had an incredible time in Imlil. The views were breathtaking, and the hike was very relaxing and enjoyable. Yassin, our guide was extremely friendly and provide a ton of information about the area and day-to-day living in the village. Lunch was very tasty, one of the best meals we've had; it was made from the heart.

Enjoyed the day with Hanyn, he takes his time explaining everything and providing historical backgrounds. He's very friendly and pleasant.

a must stop for roman ruins lovers

our guide was great , loved the market tour

our guide was very knowledgeable and friendly

Greatly enjoyed the food tour. Tried a variety of food items and experienced day-to-day Moroccan food.

Although it was not the season for Saffron picking, the lady at the farm was extremely knowledgeable, provided a great deal of information about saffron farming. Best to go in November if you want to see the flowers.

it was memorable and great experience, felt like Lawrence of arabia movie, our guides were very nice

The chef at Clock Cafe made this cooking class sooo fun and memorable, loved him. We learned a lot about traditional Moroccan cooking. Greatly enjoyed and recommend this tour.

An absolute must!

Youseff was phenomenal! He spoke English really well, which was helpful to us and he was super knowledgeable and personable. We'd HIGHLY recommend him to anyone. Our tour was only 3 hours, though, so I am not sure why this description says 6 hours. But all the same, we really liked him.

Great location and breakfasts. The rooftop is a great place to relax after a day of exploring. Friendly and helpful staff. Conveniently located within the Medina.

Spectacular Riad. Beautiful, comfortable, conveniently situated to the square, great food. Definitely 5 star in every sense.

Comfortable accomodation in a spectacular setting. Great staff and food. We chose to drive to the camp rather than ride camels (we have ridden camels before and given our age (mid 70s and 80) we decided to play it safe). The drive through the dunes was magical.

Beautiful Riad. Located on the outskirts of the Medina. We found the Medina in Fes intimidating without a guide (so easy to get lost). We ate at the nearby Riad Salam. While expensive by Moroccan standards, the Riad is spectacular, the food was great and the staff were all very welcoming.

Beautiful and well run. Great food. Wonderful people.

Well, what can I say about this place? It is hard to describe their Riad in words. It is breathtaking! It is like a royal palace. There are rooms everywhere that you can enjoy as a guest. They are so elegant and impressive. Nothing short of regal. Our room was unbelievable! The detail within the room is hard to describe. Everything from the floors, to the ceilings, to the furniture. Something you need to see to truly appreciate. We had breakfast brought to us each morning on the roof top terrace. Such an amazing way to start the day. Cannot recommend this place highly enough.

Chefchaouen is an amazing place that is a must do for any Morocco trip. The hotel is small and a bit of a walk from where we were dropped off (as cars cannot get here). The room was nice and quaint and is in a good position within the city. Make sure if you are going out that you know how to find your way back. There are lots of small roads and it is easy to get lost. It is quite a hilly city, so keep this in mind if you have trouble walking (as there are no roads where you can get transport within the city).

Our first stop on our Morocco trip. What a lovely place. We had dinner and drinks at their restaurant overlooking the pool and gardens. A great start to our holiday.

This is an amazing Riad. From the authentic decor, you feel like you have stepped back in time. The food and the staff are also amazing. If you stay here you will be sure to meet Marcos. He is an amazing host who made our stay so much fun.

Beautiful luxurious riad, friendly staff and a stunning room. No better start to the day than having the sumptuous breakfast on the rooftop in our own private setting

Muhammed did a fabulous job of getting us from place to place

Hafid was sooo proud of his city. Whikst being informative he was also funny. We enjoyed our day very much.

So much to see. Impressive city. Muhammed was very informative and keen to show off his city.

Very comfortable vehicle, relaxing drive. Stopped for refreshments and places of interest at a leisrely pace. Muhammed helpful & informative.

We were happy to see Hanyn again for our tour around the medina. So much to see and all at our pace.

Hanyn was terrific. We enjoyed every minute of this tour. It was so much fun trying the different foods and having our dinner on the rooftop of a tiny restaurant overlooking the medina.

Good, interesting but very crowded with screaming school children

Stunning city. Easy access for our small group of 4. Muhammed recommended our evening meal - tagine at a cafe beside the river. A very lovely setting.

Simply lovely

our favorite! Beautiful rooms with amazing view of the ocean. Loved every minute

Absolutely beautiful and luxurious spot and hotel. Pools and accommodation were outstanding. Brand new hotel with many features

Beautiful Riad. I wish we had more than one night to spend in Meknes.

The Riad was amazing. And the staff was very accommodating and lovely. We enjoyed our stay immensely. This was our introduction to Moroccan hospitality at its finist! Abundance of food fro breakfast.

Beautiful spaces. incredible view from the rooftop. Amazing spot to hang out for a view of the city and mountains. Breakfast was wonderful. Staff very kind and available to help out. lots of stairs to climb

awesome! loved this challenging yet very do-able hike. Thank you Mou

awesome drive

loved this city and loved this guide

Great!

Excellent guide and food tour. Awesome

Loved this stop. Our guide was awesome and so very knowledgable about the history

It was a must see. Beautiful spot.

Very long, beautiful and dangerous twists and turns on the road. Wow! our driver is a magician! So skilled! It was a long ride

excellent local guide. She was so charming and adorable. And a wealth of informatin.

knowledgable guide. not very friendly or engaging. He seemed like he was tire of giving this tour

This was probably the most unfortunate part of our trip. We were totally not prepared for the hike and our local guide, although lovely, spoke no English at all. This is probably the most dangerous hike I have ever gone on. The waterfall and the streams are exquisite. But the hike was on slippery sharp stones and no clear path. We hiked over slippery waterways. And it was unclear exactly where we were being taken ( to the Bridge? or to the Waterfall?) We were lucky that no one got seriously injured. Only a few of our very experienced hikers did the entire hike. Three of us stopped along the way and waited by the stream for the others to return. One of our party was guided back and waited by the van

Our local guid was knowledgable but was very rushed and only spent a few hours with us in the morning

we love Moustaph....he was an amazing driver and we could not have had the trip without him

outstanding!!! everyone should do this!

Very delightful visit

AMazing guide

Perfect!

Wow - This was an amazing oasis, right in the Medina of Marrakesh. It looked very modest on the outside, but inside was a tropical paradise. We found we just wanted to spend time at the hotel and lounge by the pool. I also used the spa for a manicure and Hammam treatment (both were wonderful). The breakfast had a wonderful variety and the dinner was also excellent. This was our favorite hotel in Morocco and I hope to return someday.

Another beautiful Riad. The room was very nicely decorated and we had a very nice dinner at the Riad. The staff was very accommodating, warm and welcoming.

We really enjoyed how this was multiple Riad’s combined into a single Palais. Each separate Riad had a unique character and the overall Palais was beautiful. Our room was very nice and spacious. The breakfast was particularly good with lots of options.

This Riad was right inside the Medina and was beautifully decorated on the inside. Like many of the Riad’s it was very modest on the outside and opened up into a beautiful courtyard. The room was spotless and unique. The staff was warm and very welcoming. We enjoyed out stay very much.

This was a beautiful Riad. Our room had 2 bedrooms and was beautifully decorated. It felt very Moroccan and was a special treat. The staff was very warm and welcoming. This was one of our favorite Riad’s in Morocco.

We had a wonderful time staying in such comfortable accommodations in the desert. The staff was very welcoming and endearing. Our room was beautifully appointed and was a very fancy tent for being in the desert. The staff did a wonderful job with music entertainment in the evening and worked hard to make sure everyone had a good time. In the morning, we went for a sunrise camel ride. This was a very special experience and the guide was very patient and knowledgeable.

We absolutely loved this experience. It was very fun to shop in the market for the ingredients and then to make each course. The chef was such a wonderful person. She was very warm, knowledgeable and just a delight. I can’t recommend this enough. And her foods were better than most of the foods we got in the restaurants.

This was a beautiful hike. We initially hiked up to the waterfall and then Mohammad adjusted to do a hike around the Atlas Mountains (there was an option to hike up to more waterfalls, but it involved a lot of scramblings). We absolutely loved the scenery and getting to better understand the Berber culture. This was one of our favorite activities. Mohammad was an excellent guide and even welcomed us into his home for tea. He and his family were very endearing and we felt very honored to have tea in his home.

We loved having food from small local favorites. All the food was delicious. We enjoyed the donuts, the harissa soup and walking across the square for the main course. I would caution vegetarians, that the main course is a meat dish without an option for vegetarians (even though the guide knew there was a vegetarian). But it was still a great experience.

Zara was a very knowledgeable guide and we really enjoyed both the tour and shopping in Fez.

We enjoyed all the historical information. The only downside is the chaos of the Marrakesh Medina (beyond the guides control).

While it was a long drive for this activity, it is a very unique experience. It was wonderful to be in the desert and to ride the camels out to the sunrise.

While we enjoyed this activity, we would have liked to have had more choices over the wines we tasted. Generally they were giving us very generous pours, but we would have preferred more tastings with smaller pours. The wine and appetizers were all very good, but after doing price comparisons later, the prices for wines at the winery were expensive. But the setting for the tasting was absolutely beautiful.

This was a very unique experience. We all enjoyed the traditional body scrub. This included a sauna, followed by a full body scrub and rinse. Afterward we were all ready to just fall asleep. I would highly recommend this experience.
