Kimkim Trip Reviews for Morocco

My visit to Morocco was spectacular especially thanks to the entire team led by Mr Majid. From the time I was picked up from the airport till the time I was dropped back, was smooth, hassle free, and safe. The driver Mr Abdel, the guide in Fez, Mr Hakim and the guide in Marrakesh, Mr Hamid were all punctual, polite and very adjusting to my requirements. As a single traveller, I highly recommend you go with Majid and his organising. He has curated the entire trip for me which was planned and adhered to very well. I cannot thank all of them enough for the wonderful time I had and beautiful memories I take with me. Till we meet again.

Our car driver Faisal is great. He is very accessible and knowledgeable. He knows the places and people and very friendly which made the trip enjoyable

Our trip to Morocco was an AMAZING, MEMORABLE experience! Mohammed did an excellent job working with us to put together an itinerary that hit on areas that we hoped to see in addition to many suggestions that we were unaware of, however enjoyed. He was quick and thoughtful with his email responses and also worked with us to set up a call to discuss details. Shortly before the trip, we were given an emergency contact for Said, who was our trip coordinator once we arrived to Morocco. He ensured that all was going well and worked closely with our guide/driver, Karim. We think the world of Karim. Karim is an excellent driver-he is friendly and kind and made the trip so much fun for us. We learned so much about the Berber and Moroccan culture from him. There was a lot of driving on our 10 days trip because we wanted to see a lot of the country, but Karim broke the driving up nicely with interesting stops along the way. Our teens adored him. We highly recommend Karim as a guide if you want an unforgettable experience in Morocco. Another note, with all the driving, it was a nice touch for Karim to be driving a large and comfortable vehicle that fit our entire family of 4 and all the luggage. Some of our trip highlights included a quick stop in the capital, Rabat beautiful blue city of Chefchaoen, the bustling city of Fes, luxury camping in Merzouga (desert), the magical city of Marrakech, then breathtaking Hassan Mosque in Casablanca. MUST have experiences: Food and City tour in Marrakech *with Hannan* (she is AMAZING), the Camel ride in the desert, eating a meal at the home of a Berber family. This trip opened our eyes and hearts the the beauty of Morocco and Moroccan people and we will be forever grateful to everyone who make our trip to special!

This was one of our favorite parts of the trip! Our guide, Hannan was excellent-we learned so much from her and she made our time in Merrakech incredibly memorable.

Thank you Abdel and Said for your warm welcome and taking care of us.I would truly recommend Samir as one of the best driver/ host for whomever would like to travel to Morocco. He is very knowledgable,we learnt a lot for him. He took care of our safety and provides tips on what to do and not to do. One of best guy we met. I would like to special mention about Ahmed who took care us to make our Sahara experience as a memorable one along with one of best guides Abdullah "Abdel" in Marrakesh ..he had so much knowledge of the town and had great energy to share with us insights !!

Our personally curated trip to Morocco was nothing short of perfect. Our guide/driver Tarik was knowledgeable, charismatic and fun. We really felt taken care of from the beginning of our trip until the end. Tarik made sure we had the best possible experience and ensured we saw the most of Morocco in the short time we were there. We felt like we were with family. We enjoyed exploring and traveling through the beautiful country of Morocco and hope to come back someday. Everything was perfect from accommodations to transportation and everything in between. The team really went above and beyond and changed our views on traveling going forward. We will be definitely looking to KimKim for our next trip! Thank you so much! We are so appreciative of the experience we had and everything you do!

We really enjoyed our adventure in Morocco! Hakim, who coordinated our 2-week tour, was a joy to work with! He was so patient, kind, and professional! We also loved our driver Mohammed, which really made our 2-week travels with him a highlight in and of itself! He really looked out for us and listened to our needs. Our group is pretty active and driving from one place to another for hours (3- to 6- hours, depending on our destinations from one point to the next--we covered A LOT of ground) was hard for us to sit in the van all that time. Mohammed accommodated for our needs to break up the trip with some stops for walking, multiple bathroom breaks, etc.) Also, when we got a tad tired of heavy lunches en route to our destinations, he happily complied with our request for us to pick up picnic food and items at local supermarkets, so that we can have lunch picnic stops! We LOVED that!

On the whole we we pleased with the majority of the local tour guides in the cities, villages we visited. The tour guide we had in Fez, our group found, was our least favorite as he wasn't good at listening to our needs and schedule as the others.
Our highlights were:
-Chefchaouen, the Blue City, as it's very scenic and easy to get around. Our lodging at Dar Jasmine there was lovely! (Note: the location is not for the cumbered walker because to get to the lobby entrance and rooms, you have to climb 165 steps!)
- Our local souk to learn about the ingredients for making Tagine and our cooking class in Fez hosted was a huge highlight for us all!
- Miknes, as Rashid was a very knowledgeable guide there. A spacious city/town that was a welcome respite from the hubbub of Fez
- The Sahara Desert...loved the sunset camel ride and the luxury tent accommodations and food were wonderful
- In Marrakech, sampling food and winding streets, stalls & historic buildings in the Medina with our food tour guide Hanyn was fantastic!

Guided Tour in Fes

Fes

Of all the tour guides we had for our 2-week Moroccan tour, our group found the local guide in Fes to be disappointing. He informed us that he's been giving Fes tours for over 20 years, and that was apparent, as he seemed to be on auto-pilot, and wasn't sensitive to our group's schedule and interests. We felt like we were rushing through areas that were of particular interest to us, but not so much to him. His jokes/humor rubbed the female members of the group the wrong way,

We loved working with Hakim, who coordinated our tour, and also our driver Mohamed!

This was our 2nd trip booked with KimKim. We expected the best experience and we indeed received it. Samir, our driver provided exceptional service taking us safely and showing planned stops as we traveled through the county. We were never rushed from our sightseeing excursions. He cleaned the car daily and smelled good. The car was very comfortable.
Said and Hamza - the travel agent checked often to ensure that things were going well and addressed if any items needed to be. All the local guides were very knowledgeable and pleasant, Learned a lot about history. Overall, it was a fantastic trip and everything went as planned. I highly recommend Kimkim and its local affiliated travel in Morocco.

Thank you for making our trip one of a kind - Hamza, Said, and Samir.

Our two week tour was very well planned and each location exceeded our expectations. It is hard to site one location over another so I would have to say we enjoyed them all. Our tour guides provided great insights about the history and culture of the area. What made our tour even more enjoyable was our wonderful driver Mohammad. He was very kind and thoughtful the entire trip and provided insights to each region we traveled through.

Our accommodations were better than expected. We really enjoyed each location we stayed in. Riad El Yacout in Fez and Dar Jasmine in Chefchaouen were a delight to stay at. Our desert experience in the Sahara was memorable and we had wished we would have stayed two nights just take it all in. Sitting by a fire, talking with our hosts, gazing up at the star lite sky was something you don't do every day.

Traveling to Morocco gave me a new insight to the culture, the people and the history that I would not have gained had I not visited. It truly is an unique destination not to be missed. We felt that two weeks is the right amount of time to stay for our first visit. If we would have had a few more days I would have like to spend some time on the Atlantic coast and enjoy the beach. Maybe next time. Thank you for the trip.

First of all, our holiday in Morocco has been an amazing experience. The country has so much to offer - beautiful and varied landscapes, great weather in December, delicious food and very warm people. I believe the govt has not marketed the country enough and more Indians should look at Morocco instead of the very crowded and touristy European cities.
Our trip was made special by Abdel and his team who put together a great itinerary, booked wonderful hotels and paired us with great guides at all the relevant places. Not only that, Abdel and his colleague Said were available promptly through the entire trip wherever we needed any assistance or clarification. They also graciously added a couple of extra dinners which were not a part of the original plan.
I want to specifically call out our tour guides, Hafid in Fez who was a walking encyclopaedia about the city, Hamid at Merzouga who in his quite way made sure we experience all that the desert had to offer, Mohammed in Dades valley who talked and walked us through the wonderful canyons and Hanan who gave us a detailed tour of the Marrakesh Medina.
Lastly and importantly, our sincere thanks to Faissel, our driver and our guide through the entire trip. He gave us great insights into Moroccan life, helped us navigate the country and ensured we made the best of the 12 days we spent in Morocco.
We hope to come back again some day.

Karim our driver was very friendly and knowledgeable. Karim along with our tour guide Mohamed Hafid (fes) and Abdul( marakesh) helped us get a better understanding of the culture and history of Morocco.

Our favourite part of the trip was the tiziri luxury camp. The owner Amed and team made sure that we were comfortable.

Kudos to all the staff at the hotels/ riyads we stayed. Each and everyone provided quality service.

We are very thankful to original travels / kimkim team for making our Morocco stay a memorable one. Thank you!

Soufiane is the best driver and tour guide I have ever encountered. He is kind, supportive, caring, flexible and open. I had the most amazing Moroccan experience because of how fantastic Soufiane is. He listened to my objectives, we made a plan and he helped me see and do everything I wanted during my stay in this incredible country. Soufiane has in-depth knowledge of every place we visited—from Casablanca, Fes, Merzouga, Aït Ben Haddou to Marrakech. Every day Soufiane made sure I was comfortable. He is a very careful driver as we traveled long days, he always made sure we would stop at places that piqued my interests and had helpful information about local places whether it was for food, drinks, scenic spots or best places to experience local cultures. I cannot emphasize how amazing my trip was due to Soufiane’s professionalism and character. I would not have had as a memorable trip to Morocco if Soufiane wasn’t my driver. I am so thankful to have experienced a new country and culture with him as my guide.

We thoroughly enjoyed our trip to Morocco.

Some things that could have been better: our guide was terrific, but it was impossible to hear him when we were driving. I sat right behind him and could not hear at all. My husband sat behind the passenger seat and heard a little. Not sure how that can be fixed - a microphone, maybe?

The trip to the desert was great as was the stops along the way and the overnight in the desert- top notch, nothing I would change. On the return, we stopped at a kasbah that was closed due to the earthquake. There was no reason to stop there. We then spent the night in a hotel that was about 3 hours outside of Marrakesh. The hotel was in the middle of no where - you could not walk anywhere, so we were stuck in the hotel. The room was in the basement and the prepaid dinner was absolutely awful. The breakfast was fine and the owner was very pleasant. It was truly a wasted day. It would have been much better to drive the three additional hours and get back to Marrakesh later in the evening so we could have had a full day in Marrakesh on our last day in Morocco.

The city tour of Marrakesh was terrific and the Riad that was stayed in on our last night was lovely.

Overall a great experience but I would make some changes in the future.

We had a wonderful honeymoon trip across Morocco where we spent 14 days across many cities and regions. My wife and I joked that we couldn’t handle seeing so many beautiful sights each day and agree that our itinerary was perfect for the trip we wanted. A great mix of relaxation, adventure, and appreciation of a culture different than our own. Our guide and driver throughout the trip was Said, and we couldn’t recommend him enough. He was very informative about all the locations we visited, made us feel safe and welcome, and went above and beyond to make sure we had a positive experience in Morocco. We came to Morocco as visitors but luckily after meeting Said, we left with a friend. Would absolutely recommend Kimkim, MOTB and Said to whoever is thinking about taking a trip to Morocco.

We are beyond grateful to Kim Kim for connecting us to Sharron, an incredible trip planner, and to Sallam, our remarkable tour manager. This dynamic duo made our journey an unforgettable experience.

Sharron's role in planning our trip was nothing short of brilliant. Her attention to detail, understanding of our preferences, and ability to create a seamless itinerary set the stage for an extraordinary adventure. She curated a journey that perfectly balanced adventure and relaxation, ensuring we experienced the best of each destination.

Sallam, our tour manager, was the embodiment of professionalism and warmth. His impeccable management skills and profound knowledge of the locales we visited enriched our journey immensely. He was always attentive to our needs, ensuring each day was comfortable, enjoyable, and hassle-free. Sallam's personal touch and dedication to our well-being truly made us feel cared for and safe.

This experience has not only left us with memories to cherish for a lifetime but also set a new standard for what we consider exceptional travel planning and management.

In conclusion, a heartfelt thank you to Kim Kim, Sharron, and Sallam. Your combined efforts made our trip not just a vacation, but a series of unforgettable experiences. We eagerly look forward to our next adventure with your team!

This was my first time using KimKim and it will not be the last!

My friend Howard and I decided to make Morocco our destination. We decided on a date but neither of us really had time to plan a trip. KimKim to the rescue!

We looked at the various itineraries. I was impressed with the varied options. Options include how many days you want to visit as well as the kind of trip you want to take. One can choose active, historical and many others.

Once we decided on the amount of days and what kind of trip we wanted, that's when Saīd came into the process. I definitely could not have done this without Saīd and I am very grateful for all his work. Saīd is incredibly patient and thoughtful. He is clearly driven to make sure that each and every traveler has the experience they desire. My questions were often answered immediately or because of the 6 hour time difference, by the next day. As you get closer to the date, Saīd will give you his WhatsApp number so you can contact him for anything.

We were given an excellent driver. Neither of us wanted to deal with driving in Morocco. If you are planning to do your own driving, the main roads and highways are excellent. I live in New York City and I thought the driving in Casablanca and Marrakech seemed very chaotic. We were very happy with the choice to have a driver, and Lahcen was wonderful. His driving is flawless. In addition to his professionalism, he is incredibly kind and thoughtful. We were in great hands!

We had a guide in Chefchaouen, Abdessalam. I enjoyed his tour of the Blue City. I definitely learned quite a bit. You will test your fitness going up and down the steps and hills of Chefchaouen. Our tour included two nights in a Riad there. The Riad was a lovely place. Keep in mind that the “star” system there is a little different than in the States. These Riads are great, one really gets a flavor of the country there. However, the amenities may be a little more rustic than you expected. The rooms have full bathrooms, but towels might be a little scratchy. I found the beds to be very comfortable, and I am usually hard to please on that matter.
Overall, I think Chefchaouen is done in one day, maybe one overnight. I didn’t need to stay two nights.

Off we went on the road to Fes! I had forgotten that we were going to see the ruins at Volubolis. If you like ruins, think Pompeii, then you will love Volubolis. Howard and I had a great time walking around. The weather was picture perfect. Keep in mind that people might come up and offer their services as a guide. We declined.

Meknes is the next stop. First lunch. I wasn’t crazy about the lunch spot. It’s a bit too touristy, but the food was fine, service was fine. If you like dining on terraces Morocco is the place for you! Keep your eyes open for storks! Also, kitty cats are all over the place. Do not be surprised if they come right up and sit in your lap. Cats are not abused, but are not particularly well cared for. Some cats will beg for food.
The mausoleum in Meknes is lovely.

We reached Fes around time for an early dinner. The Riad there was also all that you hope a modest hotel to look like. Gorgeous lights, tiles, table and sofas. November is a little cool in Morocco, so bring your winter jammies! The area where this Riad was situated didn’t feel very welcoming. So we decided to eat dinner at this Riad both nights. The food there was very good and the service was very kind and friendly.
In the morning we met our guide for the Medina in Fes. Sharif was fantastic. He was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, FUNNY and patient. I learned so much from that experience. I don’t know how anyone could go to the Medina without a guide. It is an endless and chaotic maze! As promised in the itinerary, you will see the food stalls, tanneries, copper and brass stalls and so much more!

Next day, off to Marrakech. That was a long driving day. We took the highways. Lahcen always knew the best places to stop. Keep in mind that it is appropriate to tip the bathroom attendant- so hold on to your coins for that! The Riad in Marrakech was my favorite. The staff was particularly friendly. The Riad itself was beautiful. They have a lovely sunken circular sofa, a mini pool (too cold for us to swim in November), breakfast on the terrace and even a little jacuzzi. This Riad is also well located for visiting the old city. Keep in mind that sadly the earthquake in the lower Atlas mountains did have some toll in Marrakech.

We declined the guide in Marrakech because I have a friend who lives there. If we had stayed for an extra day there a guide would have been wonderful. We did visit the Yves St. Laurent museum, which was lovely. If you think you might like it, go!

We had a visit to a Hammam. If you like saunas, enjoy! There are other spa services available as well.

I recommend the restaurant OTTO. It is very close to the Riad where we stayed. This was the most elegant place we ate. Expensive by Moroccan standards, but well worth it.

Next day, a short drive to Essaouria. Finally a sea-side area! This area is an enjoyable change from the other cities. It feels more open. We took a long walk on the beach. If you want there are horses and camels to ride. Do your souvenir shopping here! If this is of interest, Essaouria is one area where you can find alcohol. In fact, it is the area where wine was produced for centuries. Another thing I noted was a lot of cigarette smoking. I am not a smoker and at times I found this to be unpleasant. Two nights there and then off to Casablanca to stay overnight and then leave.
I believe most people will say that from a tourist’s view there is not much of interest in Casablanca. We did see the Hassan ll mosque. It’s lovely and near the ocean. We didn’t do anything else in Casablanca. The hotel we stayed in is called a five star hotel. The rooms are clean and new. Again, there is something that feels a little disheveled about this hotel. Rooftop dining, pool there is even a gym. This hotel made me miss the Riads we stayed in during the trip.

Overall, this was an excellent trip. I got a taste of many places. Saīd was so helpful. I am sure that if there had been any kind of medical emergency Lahcen and Saīd would have jumped into action. Both Saīd and Lahcen made our trip a huge success and we wouldn’t have met them without KimKim!

Excellent driver!

We spent 11 memorable days in Morocco and gladly recommend Kimkim to anyone thinking about traveling to there.

Megan, our travel advisor, was easy to work with. Our original 5 day trip was postponed during the Covid pandemic. When we decided to travel again, we had more time and she worked with us to design a perfect itinerary.

While the Riads were beautiful, and the local guides knowlegeable, it was our driver, Yassine, that made our trip so memorable. He was warm, attentive, knowledgeable, fun and worked to make sure we were satisfied with every aspect of our trip.

I highly recommend using Kimkim to plan your Moroccan adventure.

All agents were really professional, very friendly and helpful. Special thanks go to Said and Abdeljalil who made our experience memorable!

Unfortunately our trip was not as excepted (or promised in the planning phase). First of all, our booking consisted a 14 people carrier, whereas we ended up with a 6 people carrier. Our driver was not as expected also. He was not very friendly, and he was very against air conditioning resulting us to sit in hot in the back since the car also didn't have any curtains.
But biggest surprise came when we reached to our accommodation, they booked 1 room less than what we paid for. Fortunately in the first one there was empty room, after talking in the phone for half an hour, it settled, and then ensured that this was a one time mistake that never happened before and will not happen again. But, in the next city it was the same thing but this time hotel was full. So 2 of us had to stay in other place which was 2 levels down that ours. This continue in next cities. Half of them had places so we stayed there. the other half did not, so they changed our hotels so that we can stay together. The most unpleasant thing was they make the changes as a gesture, an upgrade they say. But you can easily check the prices online, where we found out that new places were cheaper than our original agreed ones.

We could have than this trip ourselves for 25% cheaper price. but we didn't, because we wanted to have free mind, just have fun. But in the end, I had to deal with many problems on the way, and although Said solved them in a sense, I couldnt relax like I should. And because of this unnecessary stress, we coulnt get the best of our vocation. And whatever good parts were, they were shaded under these unforgivable mistakes and extra efforts we had to take to overcome them.

We very much enjoyed our experience in Morocco from arranging the trip right through to its completion.

Majid was alway very quick to respond to any communications we had with him and clearly listened to our visions for the trip so that the best possible itinerary could be made.

Our driver Ismail was absolutely outstanding. He was always early and ready to go, yet did not make us feel rushed and was very accomodating. He has a wonderful sense of humour and clearly knows his way around Morocco, no GPS needed! What was even better is his encyclopaedic knowledge of his country. No matter what our question he had an answer and was alway willing to share his knowledge. We learned so much about Moroccan society that we would not have learned had we been travelling on our own.

We were also pleasantly surprised to have such a great vehicle for our trip. The van was roomy, well appointed and kept very clean (by Ismail).

One highlight was the visit to the edge of the Sahara and the chance to camp under the stars. The camel ride to the accommodations was fun and a memorable experience.

The Riads were great accommodations and for-the-most-part excellent. Although one riad was in need of maintenance (at least for our room), the host immediately attended to the broken shower. The hosts at the riads were congenial and accommodating of our needs. Breakfasts were substantial and tasty.

Our dinner with a local family was not quite what we expected. We envisioned sitting down to dine with the family, but instead it was more like a restaurant meal where we sat down and were served by a member of the family. The situation made us feel a bit self-conscience, although the meal itself was fine and we appreciated the effort that went into it. We also enjoyed being entertained by our young host, Hatim, who played his guitar and sang a traditional song.

All of our local guides (Ibrahim, Hakim, Radia, Hamid, *the guide in Volubilis- we apologize for no remembering his name) were very knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. It was refreshing to have a young lady, Radia, to guide us through Ait Ben Haddou. Her knowledge is extensive and her English is impeccable. If we have any complaint, by the time we had our 4th city guide much of what was said about Moroccan history was repetitious of what we had heard from the previous guides.

Finishing our ten days with a stay at Essaouira was ideal. After a lot of travelling, three days at an oceanside resort was a good wrap-up for the trip.

Overall we had a great experience and would highly recommend Kimkim to anyone wanting to get the most from their time in a visit to Morocco.

Thank you, Majid, for your hard work in putting together a wonderful trip! And a huge thank you to Ismail for making our trip so much fun!!

Sahara desert is the place that you read about as a child with wonder and never expect to visit!
KimKim made my wish come true and helped to put together amazing adventure to Marroco.
Within almost two weeks we were able to visit so many places that blew our minds- like blue town of Chefchaouen or Erfoud delicious date town. All of these beautiful places were possible to visit thanks to Soufiane. We both with my wife quickly became a good friends with our personal driver/tour guide. With his very easy going personality, punctuality great driving skills traveling through Marocco was just perfect!
I listen Amghar in - Nabil Baly Othmani every time when I feel like going back to these amazing memories from Marroco. Thank you Soufiane for playing that for me.
Great times and people!
Hope we will he back. Inshallah!

Best memory from Morocco! Thanks to Soufiane for making it happen. All was just perfect: the dinner, family, conversation. Entire experience was just amazing. Pastilla is my new favorite dish now:) We would not be able to experience it without KimKim.
