Kimkim Trip Reviews for Morocco

Corresponding with Abdellah was extremely easy and efficient. He was very accommodating to our requests and was able to tailor the tour according to our needs. Our driver Soufian was really nice and kind. He knows all the good places to eat at, where to shop and things to do and we had an amazing time in Morocco because of him.

Our trip was fabulous! I so appreciate all of the help and guidance given by Majid during the planning process. He was thoughtful and considerate of our requests and delivered exactly what we requested. Our diver, Hamid, was absolutely wonderful! He shared so much with us about Morocco's history and culture and knew so much about each region we traveled through. His enthusiasm for his country was contagious and he authentically shared so much wonderful information. He took us to a "bar b q" restaurant on the side of a road in a random small town that was incredible! Our 3-day journey from Marrakech to Ait Benhaddou to Merzouga to Fez (I learned of this itinerary from another Kimkim review) was long with a lot of hours in the car, but it was worth it and the best way to see a lot of Morocco. Hamid made it all worthwhile and enjoyable. I hope to book more trips with Kimkin in the future! Many thanks for such a memorable experience.

We had a wonderful time in Morocco. The trip was well organized, our guide Said was knowledgeable and accommodating, and our driver Hassan was very experienced. The long drive to the desert (Erg Chebbi) is absolutely worth it and the camel ride in the dunes was an outstanding experience. Chefchaouen is very pretty and Fes is a must. Kamal, our city guide in Fes, is excellent and super knowledgeable, I highly recommend him. Surprisingly, it can be quite chilly in Morocco in May, we used all the warm clothes we brought and it was barely enough, even in the desert.

Majid did an amazing job in putting together the perfect itinerary for the number of days we had and the budget we had. He and his team showed great hospitality and were a wealth of knowledge and great hosts. All the highlights were included on this trip, every experience was better than we could have imagined!

Wow! Where to begin? We planned this trip to Morocco less than a month before we traveled and Ali and Kareem did an excellent job in pulling everything together.

We booked a private driver for my wife and I to travel through Morocco for our 25th anniversary. Ayoub was our driver and now our friend. He did an incredible job throughout the trip helping to guide us with local traditions and so much information. I would definitely recommend using Kim-Kim and I would recommend requesting Ayoub if he is available! Can't wait to come back to Morocco! Inshallah!!

Ilyace our guide was great! We felt so comfortable knowing he was always there for us with advice and local knowledge. We had two local guides while in Morocco for tours. Henan in Marrakech was so knowledgeable and easy to schedule however we wanted our tour to go. She led our food tour (and had such wonderful relationships with the vendors) as well as our walking tour of marrakech the next day. We had another gentlemen in Fes (sorry I am losing his name currently) who was great. I think the nature of that day was a little "sales" driven so while we enjoyed it we did feel a little pushed on purchases. We probably would have eliminated Casablanca (although the mosque was beautiful) and preferred to stay in Rabat or maybe the first night in Tangiers. All of the riads were unique, comfortable and hospitable and we would not have found these on our own. These really made the time in Morocco extra special. The hot air balloon add on was a must do and it happened to fall on our son's birthday so it was an extra special surprise for him. We just loved our time in Morocco and Kim Kim made it super easy to enjoy.

Our entire trip was very enjoyable. Hakim planned everything so well and all was seamless. I feel we now have a good sense of the history of this beautiful country because of all the guides that were arranged in each location. The shining star was our driver, Hisham, who was quick to lend suggestions for restaurants and sites during our off time. He was always prompt and courteous and developed a special friendship with our son. He is a gem. Thank you for all the details that went into this trip.

My three adult children and I went to Morocco in July fo 8 days. The planning rocess (with Hamza) was so easy. Every question I asked (which were MANY), were answered so completely and throuroughly. After I paid I communicated with Said and he was equally as throrough.

Upon arrival we were met by Ilyace, our driver for our entire trip. He was kind, respectful, helpful, informative, timely and overall a perfect guide for us. He spoke excellend english so communication was perfect! He drove so well. He obeyed all speed limits and I felt very safe driving all over the country with him.

While doing long drives he pointed out so many interesting places. He also made sure we were comfortable.

The entire trip from start to finish was truly amazing. My only complaint (if you want to call it that), was that I was disappointed in our dinner with a local family (I was actually looking forward to this the most). We were told we could be in the kitchen and learn to prepare Moroccon food. It wasnt like that. The night was a bit awkward and the mom did not come out of the kitchen until after we ate. Our tour guide, me, my kids and , the dad ate together (the son was present but did not eat and the young daughter was too shy). It was not an interactive meal. Our driver and the dad had a previous rapport and they spoke a lot together, but this made it awkward for my family. After dinner there was some music and a little dancing and the mom did Henna on me and my daughter. Overall, this night was extremely disappointing.

Please know that the rest of the trip ws amazing! We travel a lot and this was pretty much in our top three favorite trips! We have NEVER done a tour before and this made the trip so relaxing. As the mom and typical vacation planner in the family, I did not have to worry about anything!! So fun!!

HIGHLIGHTS:
Marakesh-market, square and tour of the palace
Sahara desert--amazing!!
The Blue CIty -wonderful!!

The people in Morocco were so friendly and helpful. We felt very safe throughout our trip. People do try to sell you things EVERYWHERE so even looking and browsing is difficult as the shopkeepers keep trying to sell you things. That was a turn off to me, especially in the rug shops, fabric shops, etc.

If you are not interested in rugs and larger items I would recommend skipping those tours as they are all about the sales.
The tannery tour was informative and the tour guide did not hound us to by things.

Go to MOROCCO and have fun!!!

Brenda :

Our trip to Morocco has been truly pleasant! Our specialist, Louis, has been very attentive, detail-oriented, and transparent from the beginning, which gave us a balanced journey that showcased the different charms of Morocco. A big shout-out to our driver, Yassine, who not only made us feel safe and comfortable the entire journey but also went beyond his way to show us the hidden charms. Thanks for a great trip!

The online assistance and planning we received from Hassan was very prompt and helpful. We had a timeframe of 8 days and Hassan designed a travel itinerary that met every requirement and offered a fantastic schedule.
He arranged for a driver to meet us on arrival in Tangiers and accompany us throughout our tour through Chefuan then on to Fes. Then up to the high Atlas mountains to Bin El Ouidane then Marrakech and Casablanca.
We stayed in a variety of hotels and Riads all of which were a high standard very clean and comfortable. The workmanship in the interiors of the riads is extraordinary. Our favorite hotel was the El Minzah Hotel in Tangier.
Our driver Mohammed met us at the airport. From arrival he was welcoming, helpful and efficient. Nothing was a problem to him. We spent the next 7 days in his hands as he guided us through busy cities, long highways, crazy traffic around the crowded market areas and historical sites. Each step of the way he explained the history and relevance of various sites and cities. We had many questions and he provided very thorough explanations for all or queries.
He drove us up high winding mountain roads and explained the various changes in sights and scenery. He is an excellent driver. We always felt safe and he maintained time schedules we discussed before we set off each day. We would thoroughly recommend Mohamad as your driver / tour guide.
In Fes, Hakim was our tour guide for the medina & markets. Hakim was an excellent very friendly & fun guide. He had an excellent knowledge and assisted us greatly.
In Marrakesh we had another Mohammed as our guide. He was again extremely knowledgeable, helpful,friendly & fun.
We would highly recommend both Hakim and Mohammed for anyone travelling to Fes and Marrakesh.

Thank you for your arrangements Hassan. We had the best possible trip and we strongly recommend KIM KIM for a Morroco adventure.
Also a special thanks to Mohammad our driver /tour guide throughout the journey. Hope we can do it again sometime Mohammed.
Best wishes

We were picked up by the very kind Hicham, who thought us a lot about the country. We spent 8 days driving from city to city and by the end felt as if we gained a new friend in addition to discovering the captivating Morocco. Chefchaouen's blue gem, Fes' historic medina, the mesmerizing Merzouga desert, Ait Benhaddou's living history, and Marrakech's vibrant souks. We were immersed in rich culture, stunning landscapes, and warm hospitality. An enchanting journey that left an indelible mark on the soul. This is all thanks to the team that made it possible. From the booking agent, to the guides in every city and especially thankful to Hisham.

We had an amazing time in Morocco. We were able to fully customize our itinerary to exact dates and flights, and we were easily accommodated when we arrived late. Tours and accommodations were excellent, and we had enough free time/flexibility to do some additional activities and explore.
Our driver, Soufiane, was a superstar! He was patient, kind, safe, friendly, and unbelievably helpful. It was our first time in Morocco (two female friends on our own), and he made us feel welcome and comfortable. We recommend him 100%.

Our driver Mohamed was amazing, and the accommodation and experiences were good. We found the Moroccan people to be very friendly and services generally to be great. Morocco is a land of rich culture and contrasts, and I think having an organized tour makes it easier to access the sights, and the best on offer. Some language barriers and cultural challenges make it difficult to be exactly what you expect, but expect the unexpected and enjoy the ride!

Overall, we were incredibly impressed by KimKim. We were quite uncertain about using a travel service as we're active adults accustomed to booking all of our own travel arrangements domestic or foreign. That said, working with Louis on our trip to Morocco was remarkably easy and efficient. He listened well to our wants and needs, and designed an itinerary that really allowed us to move throughout the country and enjoy not only the cities but the varied landscapes Morocco has to offer. We hiked to the peak of Mount Toubkal and even somehow spent a night in the Sahara while finding time to enjoy Marrakech too. Louis was instrumental in helping to make this happen during our planning stage. And, while we were traveling in Morocco, our driver, Said, was an incredible guide, ambassador and friend to us. He not only taught us so much about Moroccan culture but was generous enough to invite us into his mother's home to observe and celebrate the rituals in the Muslim holiday of Eid al-Adha. We can't say enough positive things about our experience. That said, our one piece of feedback is that if you're choosing to do the two day trek to summit Mount Toubkal (4167 meters) be sure to pack clothing for the cold temperatures you'll encounter during your ascent to the peak. Our local guides, Idriss, saved us by helping us rent ski jackets, hats, and gloves to ensure we were properly clothed for the experience. We do wish this was better communicated. That said, it's moments like these - the unforeseen - that also allow the kindness of strangers to come forward. We loved our time in Morocco and using KimKim.

Sharon at Kim Kim Travel provided our family with an exceptional vacation experience. She planned an amazing tour from Fes through the Sahara and Marrakesh ending at the Mazagan Beach Resort. All of the accommodations were simply fantastic, extreme attention to detail was taken to ensure that every part of our trip was perfect. Our guide/driver, Sallam, was amazing. He is fun, knowledgeable, and knew the ins and outs of each part of our trip. He worked very hard to provide our family with the best experience possible all while considering our interests and needs. Sharon and Sallam are an A+ team. Notably, we had a medical issue during our vacation, Sharon and Sallam worked with us to ensure that our family member received much needed medical attention and Sharon and her husband met us at the pharmacy and assisted us with medications!!! I would highly recommend Sharon and Sallam for any travels to Morocco.

Had a great time in 100-115 deg. F heat. Our driver, Younes, was always available to help us, make great reservations, and ensure that we did not over-extend ourselves.

He was low-key and very professional, which was a welcome reprieve from the always-on bargaining of the Medinas.

Salah, our guide in Marakesh, was knowledgeable and able to discuss historical and societal differences, culture, and many other topics from a mix of experiential and studied aspects of Moroccan life.

I am very glad I chose to experience Morocco with Kimkim team. Both me and my sister were very happy with the itinerary as we experienced the culture and met amazing people who made us feel welcomed. Said was very prompt with replies and helping us tailor our interests prior to our trip. Upon arrival, we were welcomed by Reda, who made sure our road trips were safe and comfortable. He is definitely an exceptional person on navigation and sharing knowledge on local cultures with us. Our guide in Fes, Amina was very knowledgable and shared so much insight on the Medina. We absolutely loved our Moroccan desert experience from camel rides to the beautiful Eco-Friendly Tirizi Camp greeted by Yusuf and team. Last but not least, we met a sweet soul Hanan, who showed us around Marrakech, who has an exceptional knowledge on the beautiful buzzing city. Thank you so much for this wonderful experience and keep working from the heart to connect with people traveling to experience a beautiful country rich with culture and art.

Majid planned a perfect trip for us and responded quickly to all questions.
Moha, our guide did a fabulous job. He was responsive and flexible when we wanted to change the schedule.
The private guides that were provided in Rabat, Fes and Marrakesh were excellent as well.
All in all, we had a great time and are very happy that we chose Majid's company

We had an amazing time with Ayoub on our tour of Morocco. He was kind, patient and shared some delights with us that we didn’t expect like lunch in Taddart Oufella and roadside kefir+couscous in Souk Tlet El Gharb. He shared fun stories and we had good laughs. The girls enjoyed his smooth driving, as well. Thank you, Ayoub!

My family and I had a great time in Morocco. The trip was thoroughly planned and we always had something to do, in addition to well-informed guides who helped us find our way around. We are confident we would not have gotten to have such a well-organized experience if we had planned it ourselves. Rida was also a great driver who we had an amazing time getting to know in the long car rides. He was very communicative and helped us find all the hidden gems we wouldn’t have known about.
