Kimkim Trip Reviews for Morocco

We had a delightful week with Original Travels in Morocco. Recommendations from Said and Abdellah were spot on and we got the most out of our time there!

Hotel Reviews

Tiziri Luxury Camp

Merzouga

The crew here at Tiziri camp were so hospitable! We learned about the Amazigh/Berber people and about the desert geology too! My teens were delighted to meet other kids and go star gazing together!

Authenticity & Character

charming hosts, shared with us stories about the desert and the people who originally occupied the land

Location

Remote enough... but not too far from civilization.

Staff

Music at the fireside!

Cleanliness & Comfort

Eco friendly lodge, warming blankets (the Sahara is cold in February!)

Riad Salam Fes

Fes

The most beautiful hotel we stayed at -- although it's a competition with the Palais Sebban for my kids. Such a lush, gentle way of living, truly the highlight of our trip!

Authenticity & Character

the extensively renovated and adjoined riads that made up Riad Salam Fez were so beautiful and ornate. The fountains, the tile work, the woodwork, the furniture, the lighting, and the retractable roof!!

Location

In the medina -- but not too far from the road!

Staff

We had very friendly and helpful wait staff and concierge/front desk staff who made us feel welcome and part of their "family!"

Cleanliness & Comfort

Breakfast, tea, dinner, all super high quality and prepared with care. The rooms were clean and comfortable and they had babuches for us to wear as well!!

Kasbah Titrit

Ait Ben Haddou

The artwork was exciting, the setting picturesque and dramatic. The food and staff were magnificent. Best hotel meal of the trip -- the plates just kept coming and everything was more beautiful, fragrant, and delicious than the last!

Authenticity & Character

right around the corner from the authentic local hammam, and the staff at Palais Sebban told us how to use it!

Location

Great location just inside the medina, a short walk from the J'ma el Fna

Staff

The most accommodating, friendly staff -- they really made us feel like family.

Cleanliness & Comfort

Rooms were so beautiful, the different terraces, lounges, and patios were so lovely and comfortable. Blankets to curl up with and read a book on a sofa with the fountains sound playing in your ears!

Hotel Odyssee Center

Casablanca

First night in Morocco -- comfortable bed to sleep in, very pleasant breakfast buffet. Close to the medina for a brief wander.

Casablanca is such a big city, this was a fairly safe neighborhood to walk off our jet lag.

Marrakesh Evening Food Tour

Marrakesh

We definitely left our comfort zone on this one!! We had been in Morocco for 9 nights already and thought we had tasted everything -- boy were we wrong! From street vendor pomegranate juice to Harira on the street corner, spicy tea in the J'ma el Fna and a trip to every souk (olives, pastries, candied nuts, the butcher souk) I think we did it all! Be sure to see where the bread is being baked, the subterranean oven where the lambs are roasted, and the Tanjia as well as the Tajine. We enjoyed Chebakia, the best donuts (Sfinges) in Marrakesh, and dates, dates, and more tasty dates!

Transfer from Fes to Merzouga via Erfoud & Camel Ride

Morocco

We rode camels across the dunes and took photographs in the sunset. We made memories and experienced something very different from our daily lives. We got a window into the lives of people just like us, who live in a place very different from where we live.

We spoke with the staff -- the camels were well cared for, rested and appeared healthy. They are managed by a local Berber family and help maintain the sustainability of the camp experience

It's a camel -- this is what you get! You're really far off the ground!

Yassine did a wonderful job putting together our vacation to Morocco. Our driver, Said, who was with us for the duration was warm, friendly, courteous, thoughtful and made our trip so enjoyable and smooth. An awesome guy! Our two local tour guides in Fes and Marrakech (Mustafa and Abdul, respectively) were fantastic and knowledgeable. The riads that Yassine booked us into were magnificent…one more amazing than the next. The overnight luxury camping in the Sahara Desert was perfect and once-in-a-lifetime special. A fabulous trip from start to finish!

We just completed a 9 day trip to Morocco and Ali helped us plan our adventure! He was great in changing the itinerary to fit our needs and responded quickly to any enquiries. We started and ended our trip in Marrakesh and honestly wish we had stayed with the original itinerary and ended in Casablanca in order to have visited Fes and Chefchaouen.
The highlight of the trip was the two nights in the Sahara Desert! The camel ride out (optional) was amazing and we were able to enjoy the beautiful sunset. The view of the starry skies will also never be forgotten! The trip was a nice balance of city and off the beaten path. The food is not very varied so be ready to have a lot of tajines and egg omelets! Finally Samir our driver made all the difference! He was very responsive to all our needs. He was able to answer questions honestly about the areas travelled and had great advice on what to do in all the areas visited. Thank you for the once in a lifetime trip!

We had an exceptional time in Morocco with our new friend Mohammed, our driver guide from Original Travel. He was very friendly, helpful, and informative - and my wife and I both feel as if we gained a new friend! I cannot recommend him highly enough as someone to take you on a remarkable journey through a beautiful country. To see Fes, the Sahara, Ait Ben Haddou, and Marrakech in 7 days is no small feat, and I don't think it would have been possible without the great attention to detail, focus, and dedication that Mohammed and Original Travel showed us. Thank you, we hope to visit again!

Half-Day Guided Sightseeing in Fes

Fes

Beautiful experience to see Fes, however our tour guide took us into some uncomfortable situations where we were 1-on-1 with various store owners looking to understandably sell their wares to us. He initially told us that we should buy from the pottery co-op that we visited first, but then 5 different times were we put into situations where we had to either decline after a 1-on-1 walkthrough of how their products are made, followed by a lot of haggling, or we just caved in and bought something. Again, we fully understand as tourists that there is a need to support the economy, however we did not anticipate that we would be put in so many uncomfortable 1-on-1 situations throughout the day trip. By the end, we wished we were in a bigger group, which is not ideal.

Absolutely fantastic trip! We loved our experience visiting the northern parts of Morocco and the imperial cities. Every place we visited was incredible--Chefchaouen, Volubilis, Meknes, Fes, Rabat, Casablanca, and Marrakech. Our driver Abdellatif was very friendly and accommodating to our requests. He provided us with a lot of information about Morocco and its people and culture while we drove. We also had two outstanding guides showing us around Fes (Abdullah, nickname "Banana") and Marrakech (Hassan). In Fes, Abdullah customized our itinerary per our requests, and made sure to give us plenty of time to visit all of the sights and monuments that we were most excited to see. Hassan was very funny, knowledgeable, and witty during our tour of Marrakech. He told us so much about the Moroccan culture and shared many stories about the famous monuments we were seeing.

The hotels where we stayed in Chefchaouen, Fes, and Marrakech were absolutely incredible! We stayed in Dar Jasmine in Chefchaouen, Riad Fes in Fes, and La Maison Arabe in Marrakech. What amazing experiences. We felt like we were staying in palaces, and we definitely got a flavor of the local art, decorations, and culture at each place.

When we were planning the tour, both Abdellah and Said from Original Travels were very helpful and responsive. They gave us good advice about which cities to visit, and they customized our overall itinerary per our requests. Said also rearranged our entire itinerary after we decided to fly into Tangier rather than into Casablanca.

Thank you to Original Travels, as well as to our driver Abdellatif and our tour guides Abdullah (Banana) and Hassan. They made our trip to Morocco truly an unforgettable experience.

My niece and I took this trip together to Morocco and it was absolutely amazing. Our driver, Hamza, was outstanding and really made the trip extra special. He is a wonderful man, and he made everything so easy. He made us feel very safe. We hope to travel with him again! All the guides were great with excellent English. Mustafa was especially good and made our day in Fes a really enjoyable one. Riads were also wonderful, especially Chez Pierre.

We had an amazing time. I had to arrive late due to unforeseen circumstances but has some was very accommodating to help me come up with a plan to join the tour late. Our driver, Hamza, became our friend throughout the trip and was there whenever we needed him. He also provided great recommendations for food and drink. He really made the trip what it was and represented Morocco so well. We’ve already discussed coming back and having him as our driver again! We also had a private guide, Mustafa, who took us through Fez. We saw so many things that we wouldn’t have seen on our own and learned so much about the town from him because he grew up there. Will recommend doing a Morocco trip this way to anyone. It was amazing and hope to return some day.

The trip Sharon organized for us was perfect. Each day was filled with adventure while being relaxing, the pace reminding you to enjoy the moment and the people around you. My sister-in-law and I laughed ourselves to tears multiple times a day and learned to take our rest with a cup of mint tea. Our tour manager, Rafqik, definitely made the trip an adventure and helped us feel at home wherever we went. Those who were our local guides along the way became fast friends, too.

So many experiences stand out in my memory it's hard to select a favorite - the adventure of exploring the Medina of Fes with Siad; seeing the Roman ruins of Volubilis on a partially cloudy day with momentary rain (beautiful pictures); being cold in the Sahara desert as we watched the sunset and then later the sunrise; all the stairs in the riads; the movement and energy of Marrakesh; the beauty of the Atlas mountains (seeing a snowstorm in the Atlas mountains); Chefchaoeun; watching sunset on the beach in Essaouira; the calls to prayer throughout the day; and the cats. And so much more! Every picture we took seemed to turn out perfectly - Morocco is a photogenic country. Reflecting back, considering how relaxed our pace was (compared to our normal lives), Angela and I are amazed at how much we saw and experienced. We both feel like the trip was perfectly designed for us and we look forward to returning to Morocco in the future.

Overall, we didn't feel like tourists exploring a country, we felt like we were on a road trip with a friend to visit other friends across Morocco. I remember as we near Marrakesh and saw more foreign tourists, we felt out of place (it felt too touristy lol). Being Angela and my first international adventure together, I'm so grateful that we came across Morocco Immersion (via KimKim). Had we tried to plan the trip ourselves, it would pale in comparison to what we did get to experience.

Considering the fun we had on the private tour, I'm sure the small group tours will be just as much fun, perhaps even more.

This trip to Morocco was honestly the stuff of dreams! The planning stage was so smooth and easy, despite the COVID pandemic delaying our trip by a year. Our trip specialist, Megan, could not have been more gracious and professional.
All of the accommodations, meals, and excursions provided were excellent. Our guide, Mohamed Mehrich and our driver, Brahim Bader, were patient, flexible, good-humored, and professional to a fault. We never once felt unsafe, and the two of them went to extraordinary lengths to take care of us and our belongings.
We had a number of local tour guides, all of whom were incredibly well-informed, gracious, and utterly delightful. Hamid in Volubilis, Kamal in Fes, and Mohammed in Marrakesh were particularly pleasant to work with.
I will contact Megan and Kimkim immediately if I ever have the opportunity to return to Morocco. This country is pure magic!

We didn't give Kimkim much time to organise our trip but they managed to pull off an awesome experience for us. Hassan, did a fantastic job accommodating out travel requirements and Hammid our driver was the best from start to finish. His knowledge, generosity and kindness left us feeling more than satisfied with our trip and very humbled to have experienced this trip with him . Our guide in Fes, Fatima was a real delight and her knowledge was outstanding - congratulations to her for being the youngest female guide in your team. The accommodation at each place was amazing - special mention to Chez Pierre Gorges Du Dades - our favourite although the Glamping in Sahara was a close second.
We will definitely recommend and hopefully use Kimkim again. Thank you, Shukran .....Yallah Yallah

Our driver Mohammed was excellent. Safe driver, friendly and helpful. Always punctual. Couldn’t fault him.
Kamal, our guide in Fez was also excellent. Knowledgeable and interesting. He had an excellent outlook and friendly demeanour.
Riad Hinchim in Chaouen and Riad Kalaa 2 in Rabat both lovely, but special mention to Rabat Salam Fes, where the staff were particularly excellent and friendly, especially young Yassine.

Our whole experience with Kim Kim and Original Tours was wonderful. Everyone listened to what we were looking for and couldn't have been more accommodating to our wants and needs. While the cost of the trip was a bit pricey, we think it was worth every penny. All of our accommodations were outstanding and incredibly beautiful, our driver Soufyan did a fantastic job getting us everywhere and ensuring we were comfortable and well-cared for. Our tour guide in Marrakesh, Hanan, was so flexible, kind and informative. Mohammed at the Tiziri desert camp in Merzouga went so far above and beyond our expectations, helping me find my lost glasses. In sum, we loved our entire trip and would absolutely use and recommend Kim Kim for future trips.

I wanted a very special birthday gift for my wife, Hanan, and I always knew that she is in love with Morocco and Moroccan traditions and culture.

Didn’t quite know where to start with the preparations, but in came Yassine and KimKim to the rescue.

From day one, planning this trip, I felt at ease with Yassine. The process was seemless. I changed my mind several times about the route we are to take and Yassine was very patient with me. More than my business, he wanted my comfort, content and happiness with the choices I made. Yassine was never pushy, answered all my questions efficiently and in a timely manner. He was connected with me during my preparations, travel, tours, and until the very last minute when we head home.

Going to a foreign country is never easy, especially not knowing the people, places, culture and traditions. That required experience and we hit the jackpot with our driver Said Misser. From the very first moment, we knew we had a good driver and guide. Said is well versed in the English language. My wife and I spoke Arabic, but the Moroccan dialect is unique and requires a great deal of ear training. Said was more than helpful getting us through some of the more challenging situations.

I didn’t realize that our driver would be the most integral part of our trip, but that is exactly what Said turned out to be. Doing a several city tour in any country is tough, Said made the long journeys between the imperial cities of Morocco memorable and special. He was kind, respectful, knowledgeable and most of all very friendly. Said treated us like family, which is a rare quality in today’s world, especially when you’re estranged from home. I believe that we’ve developed an everlasting friendship with Said, and would recommend him highly and wholeheartedly to any one taking a similar tour as ours.

Overall, the trip, guided tours, the city choices, the Ryad choices, food choices, and the mode of transportation were excellent.

If you’re planning your next visit to Morocco, I highly recommend Yassine and KimKim for your travel needs. The price is fair given the services rendered. When planning my next multi-city tour, I’d be sure to reach out to KimKim again for their services and expertise.

Myself (Irish) and two of my friends (Canadian) spent 10 wonderful days travelling from Marrakech around the North of Morocco with lots of stops along the way. The accommodation was beautiful, the food was delicious and the route we took had such amazing scenery. Our driver Samir was brilliant, really informative at any of our stops, had some great recommendations and nothing was any trouble for him if we needed to stop for any supplies or fancied a McDonald's for breakfast one day! :) He was very relaxed and we really enjoyed travelling with him.
The highlight if this trip was our experience in Merzouga, the sunset camel ride across the Sahara and spending a night in a beautiful campsite with some locals who played traditional music for us and shared stories around the camp fire. Followed the next morning by some quad biking across the sand!
The day tours around different cities were also really good and we learned lots about the culture. The tour guides were really nice and very informative, showing us all the best of their cities and medinas.
The people of Morocco are so, so welcoming and we felt very safe everywhere we went and guided by Samir.

I would highly recommend KimKim, Samir and a trip to Morocco. Can't wait to go back and explore the South next time. Thank you for organising. Definitely a trip to remember! :)

All the best,

Debra, Sarah and Lauren.

Wow what can I say - this was the best holiday experience we have had. Coming from London we usually book with UK based companies but I decided to try kimkim based on the exceptional reviews and individualised tour options. My wife and I were not dissapointed and Louis delivered a tailor made itinerary that met all our expectations and more. A huge thank you to Louis for this and his excellent communication throughout the process.
Our guides Said (Marrakesh) and Mustafa (Fes) were both knowledgeable, friendly and adapted our tour so that we interacted with the local community so much better than we could have managed by ourselves. We particularly enjoyed the food tour provided by Said on our first day experiencing the culinary delights of real Moroccan food at local places including the legendary snail soup!!
Our driver was Amine and by the end of the trip I can honestly say we became true friends. He was exceptional and I cannot fault him in any way. He is both knowledgeable but can also engage with his clients and adapt to any circumstances thrown at him. His driving was considerate and we felt very safe travelling with him.
There were so many highlights but I think the Camel ride and night in the Sahara Desert topped everything.
I will have no hesitation booking with kimkim for our next trip. Thank you kimkim and the entire team.

I am so happy we used kimkim to plan our trip to Morocco -- and even happier that kimkim paired us with Megan. She was extremely responsive and wonderful to work with. All the excursions she booked for us were wonderful and the whole trip was seamless. Our guide and driver, both named Mohammed were excellent and we felt safe and well looked after in their company.

We would highly recommend kimkim --- and Megan and team to anyone!

We had a wonderful time! We enjoyed the various terrain, nature and experience food and culture from different parts of Morocco.

Especial thanks to our driver Amine who is awesome and made the trip exceptional by going the extra mile every step of the way for the entire duration of our trip! He accommodated us when our bags did not make it to Rabat from Paris, made calls to the airline in French and Arabic and made the round trip back to Rabat from Fes just to pick them up! Throughout he was very courteous and helpful with tips on how to navigate the different cities of Morocco and the sites and history. He recommended stops for food and pictures which truly enhanced our whole experience.
The guides Mustafah and Hassan are very knowledgeable and made our tours very informative. Hiking with our Guide Idris in Ourika valley was an amazing experience.

It was wonderful to sleep in the desert at Camp Chebbi . The staff though very young made up for it in enthusiasm. Then only surprise was their attempt at European style food😂. Also the camp was cold in January and we could have used extra blankets or throws near the Firepit. Here too the guides for camel ride and buggy were great!

Thanks KimKim for an amazing trip and off the beaten path Morocco experience.

Hamid was the absolute highlight of the trip. A national treasure. He is so kind and funny and knowledgeable and has a true love for his country. We only had one day booked in the dessert and he really wanted us to try Berber pizza but we weren't going to have time. He surprised us by picking up a pizza before he picked us up from the Sahara then at our lunch stop he paid the restaurant to heat it up. It was so delicious and such a special experience. If we could give him 10000/10 we would.

Though we almost froze to death (lol) we had a great time here. It was beautiful and comfortable. We wanted to try sand boarding but couldn't find the boards or anyone to ask about it. But overall a great experience

Beautiful hotel and rooms. The only complaint was the hotel was so empty we didn't really feel comfortable eating in the dining room. So we just ordered some skewers and asked they were delivered to our room. But the staff was nice and the space was gorgeous

Another beautiful space however the floors were a bit dirty in the rooms. I could feel grit on my bare feet. Otherwise a fabulous stay. The food was delicious

Food Tour

Marrakesh

The guide was really great and knew a lot about the Medina. It felt more regular tour and less food tour. I had mentioned I was a chef during planning and had hoped that would be reflected in the tour however it felt like we were just going to random stalls, not "the best" ones like I have done on past tours. But like I said, he was a great guide and we did try several things - maybe this is the style that is done here. I would definitely recommend the guide to friends for a walking tour but maybe not food specific.

Kamal was incredible. What a wealth of knowledge. We only had 4 hours but I could have listened to him all day. Absolutely brilliant.

Hakim is a gem! Throughout our trip with more than two dozen people, Hakim was attentive, helpful, courteous, informative, warm, generous, knowledgeable, and fun. I have been on many trips and tours and have seen all levels of service. Hakim is the best you can hope to find. Don't visit Morocco without him!
