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.

Orient Desert Camp

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.

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.

Horseback Riding on the Beach of Essaouira
Essaouira

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

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.

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.

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.

He provided us with an expert driver, Mustafa, and van dedicated to our group for the entire trip.

Special mention to our wonderful driver Moha, who went above and beyond in every sense. He was always punctual and well informed on the day’s activities. He made suggestions on revisions or alternatives (all of which were highly valuable) that him and Majid worked out with little involvement from us, and he was kind enough to welcome us into his home.
Would highly recommend for a once in a lifetime trip!

We loved our time in Morroco and have memories for a lifetime. We met some wonderful people along the way and thought everyone introduced to us by KimKim was very nice. However, I would not recommend using this service. We are easygoing travelers and can roll with imperfections, but this was just not worth the money. We totally understand they are offering a service and have to mark everything up, but the service wasn't good enough to justify what we paid. One tour guide out of three was stellar (Youseff in Rabat was phenomenal!). One hotel out of three was really lovely. For the hotel in Casablanca, we were put on one of the floors that had not been remodeled. The carpet smelled terrible, the furnishings were old and the room was small. I asked the front desk if some floors were better than others and she said yes but for the "level" we had been booked at we were not being given a premium room. They moved us to another floor with a bigger room and while the smell was better, it wasn't newly renovated. We're not sure what happened with that. Our driver was SO nice, and we liked him a lot, but he barely spoke English, so we couldn't ask him questions about anything we were seeing along the way which felt like such a shame. We only found out the driver wouldn't speak English after we booked and we received more details about the trip. Again, we're easygoing and we're certainly not mad at anyone for not speaking English well (as an American, I'm embarrassed for not speaking any other languages), but since we were paying so much, we figured we'd be really taken care of. Aside from that, one of the tour guides we had admitted to us that our driver was nice but didn't seem experienced and should have handled a couple of things differently with coordination and knowing where to go. We still tipped him well and liked him, we just didn't feel the service matched up to what we paid (which was a LOT). Long story short, we could have booked this trip for about 1/3rd of the price and hired a local driver and tour guide directly and been just as well off. It's our fault for booking last minute and doing it too quickly without asking more questions. So I'm mad at myself more than anything. Just do yourself a favor and really dive in and understand what you're booking so you can feel good about your purchase. We certainly did not.

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.

Dear Lisa,

Thanks a lot for your valuable and detailed review of your trip to Morocco.

I'm so glad to hear you enjoyed your 6-day trip and that you had memorable moments during your time in my beautiful country. It's a pleasure that the guides provided great services, especially Youssef in Rabat. I'll make sure your comments are shared with everyone to keep delivering well!

On the other hand, I totally understand some other elements didn't meet your expectations. I wish I had received your feedback instantly to intervene with the driver's language issue; the same for the selected hotel in Casablanca which is by the way one of the best luxurious options in the city.

Speaking about the price, I believe that feeling was created probably due to the last-minute cancelation of your accommodation in Marrakech a day before your arrival following your wishes to splurge more money on a luxury choice on your own.

Your feedback is invaluable and will help us improve, especially regarding clear communication about accommodations and driver expectations.

Best,
Hakim

Favourite places… the tour of the Mosque and a walk on the beach in Casablanca, Chefchaouen (the blue city), Volubilis (UNESCO World Heritage site - amazing Roman Ruins), Fes (both the tour of the Medina and the scenic over look of the Medina), the magical Sahara, crazy and wonderful Marrakesh (both the cultural tour and the food tour (both with Hanan) were fabulous and of course Essaouira (be sure to buy fresh fish on the dock and have them barbecued on the pier (the one at the far end of the pier is the best)). We loved staying in Riads but be prepared for lots of stairs). There is a lot of driving involved (which they tell you about up front), but you need to be prepared for that. Faissal had stops planned but was also happy to stop if we needed additional breaks or for photo ops. Overall a memorable trip.

Hotel Reviews
Riad Kniza
Marrakech

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.

An amazing place. Words don’t do it justice.

This is probably the only downside to this Riad. You have to walk into the Medina through the market area which is a bit crowded and busy. You walk about 5 mins to get to the Riad as cars cannot get in to the Medina.

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).

The 11-day trip was well planned and offered us an overview of Morocco, it's major cities (except for Tangier), and a view of its customs and culture. There were tours in each of the cities and we enjoyed meeting with our guides and driver.

Our driver, Said, was very helpful and informative. We expected only the driver would just take us from city to city and might speak only limited English. Instead, Said was more of a guide than just a driver, explaining about the areas we were passing through, helping us get to our riads or to restaurants, serving as a translator on occasion, and helping us understand some of the customs, such as amounts to tip and how to bargain (which we didn't do very well). He seemed genuinely concerned for our welfare and needs.

We had eight guides in all. Two stand out in my memory: Ibrahim in Rabat and Bouchra in Meknes. Both were excellent, providing more than just a city tour. One complaint about the tours is that some were overly long and tiring. A six-hour tour is exhausting, even if part is walking and part driving. Another is that the tours focused on visiting the bazaars in several cities. Walking through a bazaar for two to three hours is overwhelming. Doing this in three different cities is overkill. While there may be differences between the bazaars in different places, there's also a lot of similarity. In particular, it felt like the only part of Marakkech which we saw was the bazaar, rather than seeing more of this large city.

There were some communication issues. The driver made stops along the route between cities, sometimes to just take a break, sometimes for a visit that we might find interesting, like to a ceramics factory or argon oil cooperative. These were not on the itineray we were provided and I asked the tour operator for details while en route so that we would have a better understanding of what the daily plan was and allow us to decide what we wanted to see and what we did not. The reply was unresponsive, saying that they don't provide this to "take stress off traveler's shoulders", when obviously the lack of information had caused us additional stress.

The riads and hotels which we stayed at on our trip (with one exception) were well appointed and comfortable. All of the hosts were very accommodating and the breakfasts were extensive. In particular, we liked the Riad El Yacout where we stayed two nights. The manager (son of the owner) offered us the plush Ambassador Suite when we asked for a room on the first floor. Our waiter, Marco, was charming, attentive, and engaging. We enjoyed talking with him about his family and more.

The hotel which was booked in Casablanca for our last night in Morocco, the Kenzi Sisi Maarouf, was a business class hotel situated near the airport, with nothing of interest nearby. Our driver took us to and from a restaurant the city center, about a half hour drive, on the night before we left. We had a late afternoon flight the next day and did not need an early transfer to the airport. Instead of seeing the downtown Casablanca area in our last morning in Morocco, we sat for three hours in our hotel room and looked out at the back side of a Coca-Cola sign, before leaving early for the airport. The tour operator's response to our complaint about being booked into an unsatisfactory airport hotel was that they booked us into a hotel near the airport.

We had an excellent tour of Morocco. I would have given the tour specialist five stars except for the poor response to our request for more details on the itinerary and the poor selection of our final hotel.

We had a very wonderful trip to Morocco. Majid was our original contact and responded to our requests regarding what we wanted to see and where we wanted to go. He was amazingly responsive and worked very hard to make arrangements for us. His selections of local guides and Riads was excellent. And Majid made himself available throughout the trip; at first in person, and then after we left Fez, he could be reached via What's Ap. if needed. Mostaph was our excellent driver. He too made every attempt to meet our needs and he was an amazing navigator and driver. We could not have had this trip without him. He was always in fine spirits and again, expert at his job. Moushine could not have been kinder and considerate of all of our needs. He is a lovely man who worked very hard to make certain that we had what we needed. His command of English could have been stronger and sometimes it was difficult for him to explain things to us. All of our local guides were excellent. They all had a strong command of English and of the history and culture of the city. My favorite guides were our Fes, Marrakesh and Essaouira guides. We also had a very lovely and knowledgable female guide in Meknes. I'm sorry that I do not remember their names.

I do have one recommendation. On other group tours I've been on, the guides joined us with many of our meals. Clearly, when we'd go off to restaurants on our own, this would be more difficult. But whenever possible it is very nice to have them join us, rather than go off on their own. Meal time is often an opportunity to engage in informal conversation and share.
Another suggestion..... I understand that guides and support staff deserve to be tipped. It would have been helpful if we could have been more prepared or "tutored" on how much to pay what service. We spent over $800. in tips on this trip. Again, the service fee was worthwhile. I wish I had know ahead of time.
Thank you Kim Kim, Majid, Moustaph and Moushine for the trip of a lifetime.

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.

Hotel Reviews
Les Jardins De La Medina
Marrakech

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.

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.

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.

We would like to compliment Soufiane as an excellent driver and chaperon during our 18-day Morocco trip. He was friendly, knowledgeable and struck a good balance of being conversational and giving our group our own space. We appreciated his comfortable driving and willingness to adapt to different plans. He even introduced us to his lovely family, which was a great experience to meet and spend time with a local Moroccan family.

What an incredible trip! Morocco is such a beautiful country and the people were kind and hospitable, our two weeks in the country went by quickly. It's hard to put into words, but having traveled all around the world, this was one of my favorite destinations. Our itinerary included Casablanca, Rabat, Chefchaoen, Fez, Merzuga, Orarzazate and Marrakech. It's hard to pick a favorite, since every city had a charm all on its own. The drive to the Sahara desert was very long (9 hours), but well worth the experience of riding camels to the the sunrise. Our accommodations were exceptional - from 5 star "palais" to charming riads where we could enjoy a traditional Moroccan breakfast in the courtyard. This was my first time working with KimKim and planning the trip with Yassine was a great experience - he offered suggestions and accommodated our requests for a visit to wine country, a cooking class, cultural experiences, etc. Also gave us tips and answered all of our questions about the trip. And our driver, Yousine, was top notch - would definitely request him if we return. I've never had a driver throughout the whole trip and he made it extra special by driving us everywhere - not only to the different cities/sites, but to dinner, helping get our laundry done in town, giving us local restaurant recommendations (always excellent), and most importantly, being a safe and knowledgeable driver.
