Fantastic Trip through Morocco with Karim

Our Moroccan journey was an unforgettable experience, thanks in no small part to our exceptional local driver, Karim. Traveling with my wife, Kamilla, we found in Karim not just a driver but a true gem who went above and beyond to accommodate our every need. Whether it was adapting our itinerary on the fly, navigating the complexities of acquiring wine in Morocco, securing a SIM card, or his current endeavor to find a rare part for my Toyota bus, Karim's punctuality, responsiveness, and meticulous care for the car made our travels seamless and comfortable.

The trip itself was an immersive plunge into the vibrant culture and stunning landscapes of Morocco, though admittedly, it was a bit more packed than our usual travel pace. Over the course of nine days, we felt we bit off more than we could comfortably explore, spending considerable time on the road and visiting an array of destinations.

In hindsight, there are places we would recommend skipping to future travelers, such as Casablanca and Chefchaouen. Despite Chefchaouen's photogenic allure, we found that its beauty alone didn't justify the visit. Instead, allocating more time to the desert and Marrakech would have been preferable, offering deeper immersion into the essence of Morocco.

Our guided tours varied in quality; the guide in Fes was outstanding, engaging us with the city's rich history and culture, whereas the guide in Marrakech left something to be desired in terms of engagement. Opting for some spontaneity, we canceled planned activities towards the end of our trip to enjoy some leisure time.

The hamam experiences also stood in stark contrast; the one in Fes fell short of our expectations due to its thin walls and a less than vigorous massage, unlike the superior experience in Marrakech.

Dining was another area where we took the reins, choosing to explore beyond the tourist-targeted restaurant recommendations. Our adventurous spirit paid off, as we discovered the authentic delights of street food in the medinas and markets, without any adverse effects, despite Karim's understandable concerns.

The camel ride, though longer than anticipated, led us to a fantastic camp and a memorable Berber night. In retrospect, an additional night there would have been cherished.

Accommodations throughout were generally good, with friendly staff. However, our initial room in the Marrakech hotel was surprisingly small for a 5-star establishment. After discussing this with the reception, we were graciously upgraded to a significantly larger room at no extra cost, aligning more closely with Western standards of luxury. This experience underscores the importance of requesting superior rooms or suites when booking.

The organization of the trip was impeccable, allowing us to enjoy a worry-free experience. We wholeheartedly recommend this journey for those looking to dive into the heart of Morocco, with the caveat of pacing the itinerary to allow deeper exploration of its most enchanting sites.

Karim's role in our adventure cannot be overstated; his professionalism, kindness, and dedication greatly enhanced our Moroccan experience, making it a truly worry-free and deeply enriching journey. For anyone considering a trip to Morocco, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable adventure, Karim and the team come highly recommended.

Our trip to Morocco was fascinating! I did not have any interaction with Abdellah but my husband did and since he delegated us to Said we did have a conversation with him once. We had the opportunity to visit many different places with many different landscapes. We experienced the delicious cuisine of Morocco and got to meet some local people as well during our travels. Our trip began at the port of Tangiers where we were picked up by our driver Soufian. Soufian is a quiet but friendly and helpful person and he remained with us till the very end. We were driven to Chefchaouen where we stayed the night at Lina Ryad & spa. Our Ryad was clean and comfortable but climbing up a couple of flights of stairs was a little difficult. The bathroom needed a bit of maintenance though. Their breakfast service was unique and their staff were friendly and professional. From here we drove to Fes via Meknes where we stopped for lunch. At Fes we stayed at Riad Fes Nass Zmane. We were greeted by Ismail who gets top marks for his politeness and professionalism. Our room again was upstairs and climbing stairs was a bit of an ordeal. The room was well lit and comfortable but the bed was hard and the bathroom sink was not draining properly. We were asked to order from their kitchen and I have to stay their Pastilla was delicious. The first morning breakfast was served to the 2 of us on our table and was reasonable since we were the only ones staying at that Riad. The other morning a buffet was served which was way more sumptuous. Our guided tour with Mr Mohammad Hafeez was good and he was very enthusiastic and professional. Our dinner with Mr Said's family was very special but a word of caution to people who are claustrophobic and or have difficulty climbing stairs, it was a little harrowing getting up to their home. They were wonderful people though warm and welcoming. Their Harira was the best! The next day we went by train to Marrakech and it was very well arranged by our tour company. Although a fun experience in hind sight I might skip this one. Felt crowded in a" first class" cabin with 4 other people who kept changing as we reached different cities. We did encounter 2 young women who were very friendly and offered advice to things we should try while in Morocco. We were picked up by Soufian and then driven to Agadir. Our hotel seemed like we were in Europe and not Morocco. One front desk gentleman was rude and condescending but the others were helpful. The location of this hotel, Iberostar is what makes it amazing not the plentiful food which was average. The Berber souk was a great place to shop. Next we were in Marrakech. Palais Sebban is beautiful but our room was old and tired. The curtains were heavy and the cushions seemed to harbor allergens which started my incessant sneezing. The bathroom door was see through and did not offer privacy. Their breakfast could've been better. The cheese looked old and dry and their bread was hard. The best part was their fresh Msemen! Hannan was a good guide. Friendly, knowledgeable and professional. The next day we were to visit Ouzud waterfalls in Ourika valley. This excursion is not meant for people with physical limitations and we were not adequately warned what it might entail. Less than halfway through the walk up the mountain we had to abort it because was too dangerous for us to climb up much to our guide Mohammad's disappointment whose mother had prepared lunch for us. Her mother did come down to meet us which was delightful. The roads leading up to this place were under construction and we could witness people living in tents following last years earthquake, a sad event. I would have chosen another excursion instead of this one. Our driver Soufian was punctual and came the next day to drive us to the airport. All in all it was an unforgettable trip!

We were unaware prior to embarking on this trip what it would entail. We had to abort this excursion less than halfway through. We were disappointed to not meet the Berber family for lunch. The roads leading up to the point where we were dropped off were under construction and it was a sad sight watching people still in tents after the earthquake last year.

Hotel Reviews
Lina Ryad & Spa
Chefchaouen

This Hotel Deserves a Full 5 star rating EXCEPT for -- see below. It is ideally located -- Near the central restaurant area of the Chefchaouen, and also car transport when coming into the city can drop you real close to the entrance of the Riad. It is really beautiful and clean inside and well staffed. No worn out or excessive draperies etc. It had a pool and other miscellaneous services (like Hammam) are probably available- we did not use them. Excellent Breakfast and Breakfast nook with a real log fire. As Riads go -- one encounters narrow and sometimes winding staircases with triangular steps to navigate curves and turns in the stair case. Something to make note of as it may be physically challenging for some. (This is something common to many Moroccan hotels) The one thing I didn't like was how our luggage was handled. The Hotel sent personnel to take our luggage from the car to the Hotel reception for which they get 10/10- but instead of putting suitcases in a luggage cart, they simply lugged our suitcases over stone lined cobble stone streets - like conducting a Consumer Reports Stress test of our luggage wheels. Thud Thud, rutt tutt rutt thud - Definitely not worth it -- if your your luggage wheel breaks off -- the rest of your Moroccan and return journey across airports will be "Hell" with broken off wheels. We saw in other places in Morocco how Hotel staff does use Luggage Carts to carry your suitcases.

Stunningly Beautiful. Great Location for the Fes Medina access. Decor inside the hotel and the room is great. Not the fault of the hotel - but a stale putrid smell is present in the streets of the Medina the hotel is located in. Inside the hotel no problem - but you can fell it the moment you step out in the street.

As it is all over Morocco, the stairs, the banisters are never to international standards. You will find that steps and staircases are uneven . The Bathroom sink merely tolerates the sink faucet spout to run at a trickle, whether it is blocked with muck or it is kept to work like that to conserve water is unclear. Our room was Named "TULIP" -- avoid this room because of faulty plumbing. No luggage stands in the room.
Iberostar Founty Beach
Agadir

It is like any good hotel in the USA -- to come here after your stay in various Riads of Morocco, one feels a great sense of relief. You can breathe, eat, walk. Everything functions as it is supposed to. Large verandahs, great views, access to the Boardwalk Promenade and of course to the Beach and the sea. There is not much to do in the town itself. Shop the Souks and Handicrafts. The hotel does exchange your money to local Moroccan Dirhams - a great convenience for a bit of loss for the convenience. Taxi is available at the front door, so one does not get the feel of being trapped, like in Caribbean resorts.

KimKim helped us plan our first trip to Morocco and we absolutely recommend using KimKim if you are planning a trip to Morocco! KimKim connected us with Organic Tours in Morocco, and Ali and Said with Organic Tours arranged everything (even at a busy time of the year and with very late notice). After we specified what we wanted to do, and what our likes and dislikes were, they put together an itinerary that covered almost all of Morocco and allowed us to experience all the wonders of the country.

Ali and Said also selected our driver Tayeb, who was with us from the first day to the last, and the several guides in the individual cities we visited. And, although we thought it might not be for us, they talked us into spending two days in the Sahara in a tent camp, riding camels and drinking tea with the nomads living in the desert, and this turned out to be the part of the trip we have talked about the most since returning!

While we usually plan our travel, it was great having this trip planned for us, particularly since we did not decide until two weeks before the trip that we were headed to Morocco. The details on the places we visited: Casablanca (1 night), Rabat, Tangier (1 night), Chefchaouen (2 nights), Fez (3 nights, including day trips to Volubilis and Meknes), then the tent camp in the Sahara near Merzouga (2 nights), Skoura (2 nights) and finally Marrakech for the final 5 nights.

We can very strongly recommend that you use KimKim and Original Travels for travel to Morocco, and we will be using KimKim for our next adventure, when we decide where to go next!

And, if Morocco is not in your travel plans, we strongly recommend that you reconsider! A beautiful country with friendly people

A Perfect Experience - Start to Finish

I can't say enough good things about our experience with Morocco Immersion Tour and Adventures and, in particular, Sharon. From our first conversation she was nothing but available, responsive, and attentive in her planning of our entire trip. We had ideas of stops for the trip, but didn't have a full picture in mind. She took the time to lay out a trip plan, had us weigh in, and tweaked accordingly. She answered any and all questions (of which I had many) and prepared a packing list / materials ahead of our departure so that we knew exactly what to pack and were prepared. We felt so confident that this trip was going to be great - before we even left - because of her planning and support.

The trip itself did not disappoint. The itinerary was so well-timed. Our tour took us beyond the city and into more rural areas, through different landscapes, and gave us the chance to see more of Morocco than we ever would have found on our own. Our hotels were all beautiful. Our tour guides at each city or point of interest were phenomenal - experts on the area and great communicators. And I would be remiss if I didn't call out our guide for the trip - Omar - who drove us around the whole country, made sure we always had everything we needed, that we were enjoying yourselves, and taught us so much (including introducing us to Moroccan and Amazigh music).

10/10 would recommend Morocco Immersion Tours & Adventures, Sharon, and her extended team. They will not disappoint!

But the best part of it all was my experienced personal driver, Soufain, without whom this trip would not have been the same. Not only did he “protect” me (as a single female travelling on her own) from aggressive vendors and scammers, but he made sure that my every need was taken care of. Thank you, Soufian! Hope to see you again when I bring my family 😃

This was possibly my favourite spot to rest on my Morocco trip. Right in the heart of the Medina (which also meant someone had to haul my luggage. Long ways from the drop off to the hotel!), with. Great breakfast that was included. I chose to get a hammam and massage there for 1100 DM and both were good, although next time, I might choose a hammam where the locals get it because of the mark up for tourists. Overall, a great experience. The room had a lot of character and was very comfortable. Best thing is that it’s conveniently in the heart of the Medina

Driver Samir was amazing.
Tour guide at Marrakesh (lady)was good. Guide at Fes(Mohammed) was good but he took us too many shopping places. Essaouira guide was so so. Ait Ben Haddou guide and movie studio trip were bad. They were only interested in tips.
In general, Hotels were good.
We loved Fes and Sahara expirence. At the tent, our guide Hamid(? Nomad 4x4 driver/guide) was very good.

Hello Hyunshin,

Thank you sincerely for taking the time to share your feedback on your recent journey through Morocco! We're thrilled to hear about the highlights and appreciate your detailed insights into the various aspects of your trip.

It's wonderful to know that Samir, your driver, left such a positive impression on your travel experience. Having a reliable and friendly driver can truly enhance the journey, and we're glad Samir contributed to that. We're also pleased that the tour guide in Marrakesh added value to your exploration of the city.

We take note of your comments about the guide in Fes, and we apologize for any inconvenience caused by the excessive shopping stops. Your feedback is invaluable as it helps us refine our services to provide a more balanced and enjoyable experience for our travelers.

We're sorry to hear that the guide in Essaouira and the guides at Ait Ben Haddou and the movie studio fell short of expectations. We appreciate your honesty, and we will be sure to address these concerns with our local partners to ensure a more enriching experience for future travelers.

On a brighter note, it's heartening to learn that the hotels met your expectations, and we're overjoyed that Fes and the Sahara experience left lasting impressions. Your kind words about Hamid, your guide at the tent in the Sahara, will surely be passed on to him. We're delighted that he added to the enjoyment of your visit.

Your passion for Morocco shines through, and we're grateful to have been a part of your exploration. Should your travels lead you back to Morocco or to other destinations, we'd be honored to assist you in creating more unforgettable memories.

Thank you for choosing us, and we look forward to the possibility of serving you again on your future adventures!

Warm regards,
Mohamed.

We enjoyed our time with our "guide" Mohamed and our driver Kalifa. Mohamed was very personable, kind, helpful, and had fairly good English speaking skills. The one area he could improve on would be to increase his knowledge of the history and geography of the places we visited, and to share that with us as we traveled in the van. Kalifa was an excellent driver, and we always felt very safe.

The local guides, Mohamed in Fez, Hanan in Marakesh, and Hassan in Essaouira were all excellent and very informative. We also enjoyed our home visit in Fez. Our hostess had excellent English and social skills, her family was very welcoming, and evening was lots of fun. Our time at the Desert Camp was the highlight of the trip. Everyone there was so welcoming and helpful.

Overall we had a wonderful trip. At times it felt that we spent a lot time riding in the van, though I'm not sure I would want to leave anything out. Perhaps another day in Chefchouen would have been good too.

We didn't see much of Rabat as we went to the Hassan II Mosque in Marrakesh that morning, as many of us arrived late the day before in Casablanca. We also got to Chefchoen a bit late in the evening as a result. Perhaps another day in Casablanca to ease into the trip after arrival would have been good, when we'd have the whole day to visit the Mosque, the Old Medina, and just relax to get over the jetlag.
