Kimkim Trip Reviews for Morocco

My 5 days trip to Morocco can be best described as hits and misses.

Pre trip notification and prompts are spot on. We get reminders a few days before our trip on things to watch out for and contact details. We give credit for that.

The driver assigned to us throughout the entire trip is very good. His name is Karim from Original Travels. Very service orientated, soft spoken and gave us good insight before each point of interest. He cleaned the car every day, drove safely and has good temperament.

The licensed guide assigned to us at Fes (as part of our package) on the other hand, is disappointing to say the least. He is more interested to get us to shop (I guess he gets a commission) rather than giving us the details of each place of interest. Through our half day tour, we have to stop many times, waiting for him to finish his conversation with friends he met along the way and at one point in time even to wait for him to pay his personal bills. I don't think he has respect for our time as tourists there. He asked for our tips even before we started our tour! Clearly unprofessional! We went back to our hotel at 1400hrs, clearly disappointed with our experience at Fes.

We stayed a night at Odyssee Center Hotel at Casablanca, 2 nights at Riad Braya (Ambassador Suites), 1 night at Dar Jasmine and finally a night at Riad Mokhtar Tanger. Brief comments on each hotel as follows (based on the rooms that we were assigned):

Odyssee Center Hotel: I will rate this hotel at most 2 stars (out of 5). Water pressure from shower head is weak and irregular with intermittent bouts of cold and very hot water. Towels came with patches of yellow stains. Very dim room, facing a dilapidated abandon office building, Not a comfortable stay.

Riad Braya: Service staff at this hotel is excellent. Very friendly and prepared to roll up their sleeves to serve their guests. The Ambassador Suites that we stayed is large but not ostentatious. We were disappointed that TV is not working and despite the service staff best efforts, it was blacked out throughout our 2 nights stay. Fortunately, we have Netflix to watch on our ipad! I will rate this riad at 4 star. Bed is comfortable, water pressure is good and breakfast is tasty.

Dar Jasmine: The best room (even though we were given a normal room) we had throughout the 6 days trip. The hotel staff are all out to please and impress their guests! View is breath taking and everything looks new and works in the room. Breakfast is excellent and plentiful. I will highly recommend this hotel at Chefchaouen. A 5 star experience!

Riad Mokhtar Tanger: Unfortunately we ended our trip with a 2 star experience. Given a very dim room with dirty carpets and worse of all, air conditioner is not working. Toilet flush doesn't work properly too. Wanted to change a room but front desk lady went back home right after handing us the keys. Fortunately, we can draw some cool air by opening our windows (at the expense of noise coming from adjoining streets). Cannot imagine staying in this room in the middle of summer!

This was an absolutely incredible trip. Soukina, our driver, was among the best I've ever had. She was affable, resourceful, funny, flexible, and always punctual. The trip organizer, Saïd, went above and beyond to make this a memorable trip. For example, while in Merzouga, he responded to my last-minute request to stay with a Berber nomad family that night, and somehow he was able to make it happen! He also arranged for us to stay with a lovely host family in Dades for a couple of nights. The local guides, particularly in Marrakech, were knowledgeable, flexible, and worth spending time with. Our local food tour in Marrakech was special. Thank you so much, Saïd and Soukina, for your professionalism, skill, and efforts, which made this terrific every day we were there!

Our guide on this trip made this such a memorable experience. She's smart, affable, and clearly passionate about her work. She was able to help us to try everything we had on our list, including stuffed spleen and steamed sheep head, finding us some of the best places in Marrakech that we had ever tried. Thank you!

Sharon did a fine job helping us plan our trip. Our driver, Sallam, was great. The culture and cities we visited were everything we expected. However, we were not prepared for the types of roads we would be travelling on for long hours on this trip. All four of us are 70+ years old and the vehicle used was not very uncomfortable in the back two rows of seats. My wife and our friend Karen were bounced around almost continuously. Plus the back of the seat was tilted back making it impossible to sit upright. The nine hour ride to the desert was especially difficult as the road was often rough, winding with tight curves. The road down the mountain into Marrakech was under construction which caused us to drive on temporary roads which were very rough.
Our room at the hotel in Rabat was dangerous. It had what we called the "pit", which was a sunken area with steps less than 5 feet from the foot of the bed with no guard rails. Our room in Chefchaouen was in need of repair as the walls had cracks and chunks of plaster had fallen off in the bathroom. A lamp had fallen over and couldn't be made to stand back up. The stairs up to our room on the third floor were narrow and treacherous. Our companions were on the ground floor and were subjected to loud music and noise from the town square until past midnight.
However, the hotel in Boumalne Dades was a pleasant surprise. Excellent, friendly service made our stay there very enjoyable. The hotels in Fes and Marrakech were outstanding.
The visit to the Sahara and the tent camp, which we were looking forward to, was not worth the two days on the road (one going and one returning).
Overall the trip would have been more enjoyable with a better vehicle and less driving.

The careful planning and on-the-ground attention were seamless. We didn't have to think about a thing! Our driver Samir was the best :) He was kind, calm, and attentive, and he didn't ask a million questions / play music / talk the whole time, which is the fear in these long drives. We could relax knowing he was taking us from A to B and doing so in a friendly, professional manner. We never had to worry about anything knowing he was with us. I think we wish we would have flown into Tangier, or had that option made clearer as it was a long drive to Chefchaoen on the first day, but that was a minor detail. Also, for Maison Arabe, maybe to make it clear that its not a PRIVATE cooking class, it's with a group of others.
We loved the trip and all the destinations :) So thank you! It will be a long-lasting memory.

We had an amazing adventure in Northern Morocco! Abdullah gave us great recommendations and our personal driver Soukaina went above and beyond. She’s the best part of our trip. Getting us to each city safely and effortlessly. The guides we had in Fes and Chefchaouen were both great. A perfect way to see a city. We couldn’t have done it without them. I highly recommend kimkim and Morocco! Thank you to all.

However, my daughters felt that two nights in Chefchaouen would have been enough instead of three.

He made the long distance driving trip very enjoyable and relaxing. The highlight of our experience was the Merzouga luxury camp being managed by Hamid and team. Hamid is excellent and his team (Mohammed, Ibrahim and others) make sure guests have a memorable experience in the desert. Overall we had a memorable trip and would highly recommend this team to our friends and family.

Our stay at Merzouga camp was the highlight of our Morocca experience. Special thanks to Hamid, manager and Mohamed, Ibrahim and other staff for creating such an awesome experience for the visitors and making us feel at home. There was a sandstorm (apparently an extremely unlikely event) the night that we arrived and we were thrilled and excited to hear the wind howling outside the tent which was an unforgettable experience. The staff went special lengths to provide everyone a sumptuous delicious dinner despite the unpredictable weather. The next day, the winds calmed down and it was very beautiful. We enjoyed visiting the sand dunes and had a memorable camel ride to watch the sunset. It was a surreal experience of a lifetime! We had a delicous dinner, listened to the local music and danced with the staff and guests. The night sky is truly an astronomer's delight !

Guided Tour of Fez Medina

Fes

We had a good time touring the Fes Medina. Being a Friday, some shops were closed. The guide, Azdeen gave us a good overview of the tanneries, old school and attarine madarasa. He also took us to the ceramic shop, tanneries and other shops in the medina. At times we felt that the guide was taking us to places such as leather shops where we were forced to buy things and getting a bit upset as we showed no interest in buying things as we were mainly touring for the experience. At the ceramic shop, the prices are super expensive and we felt like we got cheated for the few pieces that we bought here We probably paid 3 xtimes, but we thought the money could be used as a donation for the artisans who work there. This is a tip to the future travelers, tour this place, but avoid buying anything here. The folks also force you to look at fountains and big pieces that are super expensive and marked up for sure.

Booking my amazing trip in Morocco with multiple cities was made simple and seamless with Said and his team. We started off in Marrakech --> Dades Valley --> Sahara desert --> Fez —> Chefchaouen/blue city --> Tangier, with stops for all the sights in-between.

Said responded very quickly to my itinerary request and mapped out my desired route, added 4/5 star fantastic hotels, and made recommendations at the cities that I didn't even know of (eg dinner with a local family in Fez). While in Marrakech I unfortunately lost a day due to travelers tummy and Said quickly rejiggered my itinerary by pushing everything out a day, which would have been a nightmare if I had to do this myself.

Our driver, Samir, who was with us from beginning to end was fantastic. He is very polite, professional, and was a great resource for everything Morocco! He truly went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and got the most out of our Morocco experience. He seems to know everyone and made sure any handoffs with guides and hotels were seamless and we were taken care of. His tips and tricks were very helpful navigating the Médinas in Chefchaouen and Fez! Samir is truly a gem!

This team truly deserves this glowing review - they will be my first call on my next trip to Morocco.

We were an adult mother/daughter travel team. We were looking for a trip together where we could learn about a new culture while spending time together, we settled on Morocco as our destination, but we were both too busy to develop our own itinerary. Also, we don’t speak Arabic or Berber, and a large group tour didn't seem like a good fit. Kim Kim/Original travel proposed a program that moved us around the country in 8 days— we saw a lot! Our driver, Samir, was efficient, and unfailingly unflappable, courteous and on time. He schooled us on some language basics and was happy to chat about Morocco. He became a member of our travel team. Sometimes I just wanted to sit in the back seat, eat tasty cookies, and soak up the scenery. That was ok too! We spent time in Casablanca, Fez, the desert (on many camels), Marrakech, and every point in between. Memories to last our lifetimes. We saw a lot that we can study at our leisure now that we are back :)

Dear Kim Kim folks ~
First, I would like to say that our driver/guide Sallam could not have been better. He displayed a great competency in his role and understood and executed very well in attending to the needs of our traveling group.
The itinerary for this trip was a bit of a challenge for us 70 something age group. It included a lot of driving on some pretty rough road surfaces, some under construction (especially in the Atlas Mountains). In retrospect, I am delighted that we covered so much of the country. We did insert a "rest" day toward the end of the trip before heading to Marrakech that was very beneficial to us and I might suggest this as a possible option for other groups in the future. All in all, it turned out to be a wonderful adventure and informational trip. We felt that this "immersion" experience helped us to embrace the Moroccan culture and allowed us to learn so much more about Islam and the friendliness of the Muslim people. I would definitely encourage people to take this trip with Kim Kim but would make sure to identify some of the specific physical challenges that might be faced along the way.
Sincerely,
Robert (Bob) Morgan

Megan arranged a superb tour which was made even better (if even possible) by arranging Hamid to be our driver. What a professional, knowledgeable, kind, proud Berber who answered all our questions and shared the love of his culture. We shared many laughs together. The three of us (all seasoned mature travelers) felt safe and had a terrific time. We highly recommend:
1. the Sahara glamping at Riad Madu and sunset camel riding with Barack and Omar,
2. the climb up the gorge in Atlas Mountains with Mohammed, who shared his home and a family prepared meal
3. a Hammam Beldi full body scrub at Hammam de la Rose in Marrakech
4. a visit to Fes' medina with guide extraordinaire Kamal and an unexpected visit to a women's Berber rug coop
Our 6 different Riad stays were all lovely. Our favorite was Riad Maison Bleue, where Idris took especially great care of us and arranged a birthday cake and music to celebrate.
Thank you Megan and a big thank you to Hamid who made the trip so special.

This trip and Megan fat exceeded my expectations (and they were high). Hamid was more than just our driver, he was our guide, often stopping along the way to show us cool things. There are so many wonderful things about this trip, it’s hard to pick. The mosque is Casablanca with all its history. Fes, with its amazing artisans. The monkey forest. The hot air balloon ride. Riding camels in the Sahara Desert for sunrise and sunset. We stayed in some of the most amazing riads that truly took the whole Moroccan experience to another level. We hiked in the Atlas Mountains, explored Marrakesh, and ended the trip eating at Rick’s Cafe in Casablanca that Hamid was kind enough to get us reservations too. I’m already planning the next trip to Morocco.

Half-Day Guided Sightseeing in Fes: Morocco's Spiritual Heart

Fes

First and foremost, I would like to give a shout out and a big recognition to our driver Khalil! Without his warmth, flexibility and desire to keep us happy and safe, our trip may have not been as magical. PLEASE GET HIM A RAISE!

Most of our guides were good and quite knowledgeable. The journey was a long one and knowing the lay of the land, I would have skipped staying at the Gorge and would have preferred staying in Imill in the village. Our guide showed us a beautiful hotel tucked away which would have been amazing to take advantage of more hiking opportunities.

Morocco is an diverse and amazing country. We had great experiences with Salaam as our driver and Said as our tour guide in Fez. The trip was arduous. We traveled many miles over road construction over the Atlas Mountains bounced around for hours in the vehicle. Many of our hotels had difficult access and treacherous stairs to navigate. In the future, it might be advised you consider the ages of your tourist.

Had a wonderful time exploring Morocco, as organized by Abdellah, our local specialist. Through the planning process, he was very responsive, and was able to personalize our trip according to the changes I wanted.

Reda, our private driver, was the cool, calm and steady trip leader on our 9 night journey through the country. We were always happy to see him when he gathered us in the mornings for our daily drive. He had great recommendations, but also was very agreeable if we decided we didn't want to do something. "As you like" is quite a common phrase we heard, which eased us in having an even more relaxed time.

You do spend a lot of time in the car, which we understood when planning, but that part of the trip does get old after several days.

Absolutely an incredible experience! Such a beautiful country! Our guid Anmay was amazing! You can really feel the love he has for the country, the culture, and the history!

My cousin and I used Kimkim for our trip to Morocco. We both are busy and don’t like being the planners so we went with this company after searching and reading reviews, and we are so glad we did. They planned our entire trip with a private driver, hotel stays, tours, and other adventures. We stayed in six cities, so it would have been a lot of research, but with kimkim they planned it all, tailoring it to our preferences. Faissel, our private driver, was the absolute best. He felt like a friend from day one and treated us as if he had known us for years. We had complete faith and trust in him. He provided cultural information, answered our questions, pointed out information we might not know, and gave us space when we were tired. Our trip was the experience we wanted and there is no way we could have planned this without the use of a travel company like kimkim. Highly recommend and would use again.

Great interactions with the our guides and our travel agency was first rate. Very responsive to our needs and excellent choices on accommodations.
