The whole trip from start to finish was amazing! The booking on kimkim was seamless and Majid was very accommodating with our interests and needs. He messaged me almost immediately while we were planning and checked in several times during the trip. Our driver Hasan became part of our family for the week! He was so proud to show us his country and particularly where he was raised. He was very certain to stop if we needed a break and made arrangements with local tour guides as we arrived. He had a very good sense of humor and a very caring disposition. The people of Morocco couldn't have been more friendly. Our guide in Fez was extremely knowledgeable and we were able to see so many amazing crafts. The family we had dinner with was delightful and we really enjoyed the experience of seeing how they lived. The Riads were wonderful and the hotel in the gorge was beautiful, modern and clearly the owners were paying attention to detail. the food the that hotel was excellent! Our Camel ride into the dessert was so fun as well. We all had a terrific trip

First, who is Sharon? We never worked with anybody named Sharon to our knowledge. We did work with Marion. We had a lot of back and forth to get the trip that we wanted. It seemed that our requests were overlooked and we had to keep bringing them up.
Arriving in Casa Blanca our driver was not at the airport to meet us. We had to call the given phone number and coordinate the meeting. The driver, who was the first day guide, did not speak English well and was not easily understood. The first day's tour was not as presented, consequently we did not really understand some of the stops. (We stopped at a plaza with lots of pigeons???) It would have been nice to have the driver's name ahead of time. The size of the van was nice.
Rabat--our guide was knowledgeable and gave a good presentation.
Chefchoun--our orientation walk did not happen at first. We were delivered to the hotel and we then asked Rashid, our driver, to give us a quick rundown.
On the way to Fez we stopped at the Volubilis ruins and the local guide, although knowledgeable, was on his phone all of the time. I almost asked him if we were interfering with his day. The restaurant, Roman City, was excellent. The chef, using his mother's recipes presented a great lunch (one of the better meals of our trip to that point). The ruins are ok, but if you have been to as many Roman ruins as we have it was redundant.
In Fez, our local guide was excellent. He had the patience of Job with all of the stops that the ladies in our group wanted.
Regarding the desert camp, we should have prepared a small bag for the overnight and left the suitcases in the van (please suggest this to future travelers). This would have made the transfers much easier and better. The camp was good, our camel guide was great and very nice.
Atlas Mountains-Dades. We stopped at the "Hollywood" movie studios to, take a picture of the outside? We had been in the car for an hour and half or two hours and were expecting a restroom. Nope, we would have had to pay to enter the facility. We did stop shortly down the road after requesting a break. The Eden Hotel was great but we only spent fifteen hours there.
Marrakesh--our guide was good and visiting a Madrassa was educational and brought history to life.
Essaouria--we were supposed to go to a restaurant where we would pick out our fish and it would be cooked for us. This feature was skipped entirely and we missed it (we have done this in other countries and enjoyed it greatly). We found the above restaurants the next day after our cooking class but were too full to have a dinner. The cooking class was well done, shopping, chopping and eating.
Essaouria to Marrakesh--our driver Hallie was early (we left prior to six AM!) and very nice.

General notes:
All of the hotels were very good to excellent and well situated.
We were never informed that KimKim was going to "sell" our trip to another broker. We were surprised to find this out two days prior to the start when we received release forms from Ultimate Morocco. We were disappointed as we thought that you were the actual tour company.
It would be beneficial to future travelers if you gave an idea of the cost of all of the meals that had to be paid in cash. ATM's were usually easy to find but limited in how much cash could be taken out. International banks like BNP Paribas was a great option and we suggest that guides direct guests to these branches.
As with all trips that we go on, adding tips to the package is irritating. Since you give suggestions on tipping, just include the amount and pay the drivers and guides directly.

Lastly, as we stated earlier, our photographs, videos names or likeness may not be used in any social media or posted online.

Hi Kathleen,

I am Sharon, Maryem's supervisor. We both represent the company that executed the tour on the ground in Morocco. I'm listed as your specialist now, because Maryem recently left our company. Both myself and my business partner were regularly in contact with your travel companion, George, to make sure everything was going well with your trip. And my business partner (who manages the on-the-ground operations) was also regularly in contact with your tour manager.

We are sorry that you missed the seafood stop in Essaouira. We will speak with our tour managers to make sure that they help with that in the future. It is normally an optional activity as not everyone wants to do it, but he should've done it for you since you were interested.

Unfortunately, in Volubilis, the guides are employed by the site itself and although we try to get the best English speaking guide available for our guests, that is something that we cannot always control.

But it does sound like a lot of your trip was enjoyable and we are happy that you enjoyed your private guides in Rabat, Fes, and Marrakech.

Thanks,
Sharon

Our driver was attentive and available. I understand that he is not a guide, but a bit more knowledge of the places we are driving by would have been helpful. Specially since during long drives, there were no guides with us & we passed a lot of interesting places. Once prompted he did tell where we were, but maybe a bit more espontenous info will be great.
All the accommodations were very nice. I had prefer to stay 1 night only at the Sahara desert camp, since it was not clear to me that we were not able to stay in the camp during the day and what was available to visit was quite limited. I did enjoy the Skoura hotel, that was a nice place to relax, after the long drive.
Also maybe look more into the places to eat when out on the road. Maybe there are not a lot of options, but it seems that the places chosen were more geared towards regular tourist, since the menus were limited and/or fixed price menus.
The guide we had in Fes, Moustafa, was excellent, my favorite of the trip.
You have a beautiful country & I enjoyed it very much!

Our trip to Morocco, arranged through KimKim, was absolutely wonderful from start to finish. We have traveled extensively and have had all kinds of experiences. Everything on this trip exceeded our expectations.

Our private driver and guide, Mohammed, was outstanding — thoughtful, knowledgeable, and truly went above and beyond to take care of our every need. The vehicle was very comfortable, and traveling from city to city felt easy and enjoyable.

Every riad and desert camp we stayed in was beautiful, comfortable, and full of authentic Moroccan charm. It’s hard to choose a single highlight because the entire experience was amazing — from the camel ride and desert night in the Sahara, to exploring Fez and Marrakech, to the cooking class we loved so much.

We had the special opportunity to share meals in local homes, which were among the most memorable moments of our journey. Visiting synagogues, mosques, and learning about Morocco’s rich blend of cultures — Berber, Jewish, Christian, and Muslim — left a lasting impression. We also enjoyed hikes in the countryside, a visit to the Majorelle Gardens, and a relaxing hammam and massage, which felt heavenly after all the walking.

Most of all, it was the warmth and kindness of the Moroccan people that made this trip so special. Every person we met welcomed us with open hearts and genuine smiles.

We can’t recommend this experience highly enough — Morocco captured our hearts, and we’re already dreaming of returning.

I took a fair amount of time working with Yassine, then Louis, to put together a first visit to Morocco that captured all I wanted to see and appreciated their input in offering ideas, suggestions or modifications to help arrive at what I felt was the trip I wanted to take.

I saw the highlights of Casa Blanca, Rabat, Chefchaouen, Fes, the Sahara, Marrakesh and Essaouira. The guides I was paired with were wonderful - Zahra in Fes, Mohammed in Marrakesh and guides used to explain things like the ceramics and leather in Fes, the rug making process, and about argon. During down time, I wondered around the medinas near my riads and felt totally safe.

I went to Morocco solo and was assigned a driver for my trip, Said, who took good care of me. I could not have asked for a better driver who saw to it that I was where I needed to be on time, spoke fluent English, and enjoyed sharing information and answering questions, along with providing some additional suggestions or ideas for stops along the way. Said helped make my trip, that covered a lot of country and time on the road to see what I wanted to see, a huge success. My trip could have been very different depending on the personality of my driver, since I had so much time with the driver. Said was the best, he definately made the trip what it was, and our time on the road flew by. I'm very thankful to have had him as my driver.

I have used kimkim twice now and been very happy with the results. Kimkim takes time and effort to help create a trip catered to me and my interests.

La Claire Fontaine
Marrakech

La Claire Fontaine in Marrakesh was very high-end with accommodating staff that were willing to assist with anything. A mishap occurred with some of my shopping bags due to multiple people handling them, which led to a couple of items being left behind. The guys felt so bad about the bag left behind and so wanted to correct the situation, they even sent me clips for their video system to show what happened and how the bag got missed. We were all trying to understand how a bag that was clearly put in the cart got left behind or missed. There was complete transparency with them and very responsive to emails. Lessons I learned here were 1.) Inspect the bags brought to my room, make sure all are there 2.) Better yet, before having bags brought from car, put any shopping bags in luggage, leave no stray bags. Many things lead to this oversight - spa appointment, 4 people handling bags, very short time at Claire as I left at 3am and only had 6 hours there, they were busy, of course, with other guests, etc. Lessons were learned by all, and they were great. Despite this, the staff were incredibly helpful and over-the-top responsive in addressing the situation. It was a fancy place that went above and beyond with its service. Claire Fontaine was so nice. I wish I had extra nights to stay there.

Ouarzazate

Caravane in Ouarzazate stood out as exceptionally nice with wonderful food. The staff were super helpful, making my stay very pleasant. Their assistance and hospitality were truly commendable.

Fès

Riad Said was a great place for me to stay in Fes. I enjoyed the location and easy walking to shops and restaurants. Hassan and K Halid, who helped me from welcoming on check in to helping with my luggage and even showing me the way back out to the main area so I didn't get lost. They were very kind and I felt at home there, they went above and beyond to make my visit nice.

Everyone who helped us on our trip was professional, knowledgeable and warm and friendly. Our driver Mustapha was excellent. He was a very safe driver, knowledgeable about locations and shared a lot of knowledge about the country and environment. He always had fresh bottles of water each day and offered several convenient stops throughout the day. Our guides in Fes and Marrakech were helpful in the market and knowledgeable about the sights. Our guides for the hikes at Akchour and Imlil Valley were knowledgeable and shared great information about the area and the Berber people. Our time at the camp in the desert was very memorable. The staff at the Tiziri Camp were wonderfully warm and friendly and took time to share more about their culture which we loved. The music at night was especially wonderful. Our time in Marrakech was a favorite. People were very friendly and helpful. We enjoyed walking around and also did a cooking class at La Maison Arabe. It was excellent and we are excited to practice at home. The staff at La Maison Arabe was outstanding. The last day we went to lunch at the Selman Hotel and saw the stables of Arabian horses. It was a very special experience. All our hotels throughout the trip were excellent and chosen by Original Travels.
The person we worked with once the trip was planned, Said, at Original Travels was wonderful. He communicated with us well and was quick to respond to any request we had especially for the last day.
We highly recommend Kimkim for travel and Original Travels and Said as the person to work with during the trip. We highly recommend Kimkim and Original Travels.

Riad Salam Fes is a beautiful hotel with excellent service and fantastic food. However, our room was located directly beneath the patio dining area, leading to early morning and late evening noise due to chairs scraping above us. Despite this, the overall experience was pleasant. I would recommend requesting a room further from this area for a quieter stay.

We had a great trip to Morocco which would not be possible without Ali, who carefully planned our itinerary and activities; Said, who was always reachable and responsive to issues we had during the trip; and Farid, who was not only driving us for 9 days, but also answering our numerous questions about Moroccans and their culture and customs, teaching us useful Arabic and Berber words and phrases, making sure we always had water and who was always kind, flexible, patient and attentive to our needs. Morocco is a beautiful country with changing and impressive landscapes, towns full of history and friendly people. One of our best experiences was the stay in the Sahara desert. The staff of this operation who handled the camel ride, the stay in the desert camp, the dinner, the evening entertainment and the ATV ride in the dunes was very personable and professional. Tour guides in the cities were knowledgeable and spoke good English. We especially liked our guide in Fes, Moustafa. Hotels and riads were comfortable, cozy, and conveniently located. The problem we encountered in some accommodation was plumbing in showers. Other than that, staying in riads was very interesting and special.
We are very thankful to the Original Travels team for making our trip enjoyable and memorable!

Our driver, Soufien, was very accommodating, very kind, funny, and an excellent driver - always on time and with a fresh cold bottle of water for each of us!
A few highlights (and lowlights):
1. Chefchaouen was a very interesting and beautiful smaller city - Our terrific local guide Ali took us on a hike to the Bridge of God, which was great but the extended trip to the small waterfall (no water in the large waterfall) ended up being a little too strenuous and steep for us, in the heat of the day. But we made it!
2. Our guide in Fes, Moustaffa, was the very best of the whole trip. Informative and funny - a good story teller. A highlight was the visit to the mosaics/pottery - amazing!
3. Camel ride on the Saharan Dunes at the sunset. Epic! great guide and a great nighttime experience at the Desert Camp with very nice staff, food and evening entertainment. Recommend this is a one night experience only, though we stayed for 2 nights. Uninteresting day-time guide and not much to see/do (and no English).
4. One overnight stop at a beautiful resort on the way to Marrakesh. (could have stayed here 2 nights)
5. Balloon ride over Marrakesh for our friend Rosa - Another Epic experience!
6. Interesting walk through the city with our guide, Mohammed. He was well versed in his history and walked quite fast for my short legs (although I wasn't feeling too great this day). 2 of us opted out of the food tour because we were not well, leaving one who didn't eat meat. In general, Food tour - Not a good choice for the end of the trip (and same guide).
In summary, We had a fine trip, overall and covered a lot of territory (4 long car travel days)!

My mother and I recently returned from an unforgettable 12-day trip through Morocco with Morocco Immersion, and we can’t recommend this experience highly enough. From start to finish, everything was seamless, meaningful, and beautifully organized.
Our driver and tour manager Ali was truly exceptional, a wonderful guide and even better person. His kindness, enthusiasm, and deep love for Morocco made every moment special. He ensured everything ran smoothly, filled each day with laughter, and introduced us to the country through his own genuine passion for its culture, people, and landscapes. By the end of the trip, it felt like traveling with a friend.
We were also fortunate to explore Fes with our local guide Rashid, who brought the city’s winding alleys, lively markets, and ancient monuments to life with fascinating stories. In Marrakesh, our guide Ali (different from our driver!) led us through the vibrant Medina, sharing layers of history as we walked, it truly felt like stepping back in time.
One of our most cherished memories was our sunset camel ride into the Sahara Desert, followed by a magical night at our desert camp, a once-in-a-lifetime experience we’ll never forget. Another highlight was visiting Boumalne Dades, where we learned to make traditional couscous and shared a meal with Ali’s family. Their warmth and hospitality were deeply touching and gave us a glimpse into the heart of Moroccan life.
Throughout the trip, we were continually amazed by the beauty and comfort of our accommodations, from riads filled with light and intricate details to stunning kasbahs surrounded by nature. A special mention goes to Kasbah Tiziri in Boumalne Dades, with its beautifully renovated interiors and incredibly kind owners and staff, and to Riad Chems Bleu in Essaouira, a true hidden gem with sun-filled rooms, a serene courtyard, and breathtaking views from the rooftop.
Every part of this journey reflected the care and authenticity that Morocco Immersion puts into their trips. It was an experience that combined culture, adventure, and heartfelt human connection. The kind of trip that stays with you long after you return home.

Riad Chems Bleu
Essaouira

We had an amazing stay at Riad Chems Bleu, a beautiful hidden gem tucked within the streets of Essaouira’s medina. The quiet location was a wonderful surprise, opening up to a space that felt like a welcoming, light-filled home. Our room was spacious and filled with natural light, with a lovely balcony overlooking the courtyard that made it even more special. The riad’s plant-filled courtyard created a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere, and the rooftop offered beautiful views of the beach in the distance. All in all, it was one of our favorite stays, and we truly wished we could have stayed longer.

We had a lovely stay at Kasbah Tiziri. The Kasbah was stunning, with beautifully renovated interiors and exteriors. No expense was spared, and every finish was thoughtfully chosen, creating a serene escape that perfectly blended relaxation, culture, architecture, and food. The owners were by far the kindest and most welcoming hosts, sparking wonderful conversations and sharing stories that made us feel truly at home. They offered great recommendations and made our stay even more memorable. Our room was beautiful, with exceptional attention to detail in the furnishings, layout, and design. The meals were delicious, offering a range of traditional Moroccan dishes along with a few creative surprises that stood out from other stays. The courtyards, garden, and rooftop were perfect places to relax and unwind, each offering peaceful views of the surrounding landscape. It was truly a special and memorable stay.

We had an incredible stay at Sahara Stars Luxury Camp, a beautiful and scenic desert retreat. Our room was stunning, with thoughtfully chosen furnishings, attention to detail, and air conditioning for added comfort. The bathroom was clean and spacious, though the drainage was a bit slow, nothing that took away from the experience. The hospitality and service were wonderful, and both dinner and breakfast were delicious with plenty of options. The evening entertainment was a true highlight, featuring live music around the campfire under the stars. Waking up early to catch the sunrise was by far the best part. Walking into the desert and climbing the dunes to watch the first light was unforgettable. Sunset was equally magical, with comfortable lounge seating perfectly positioned to take it all in. All in all, a beautiful stay and easily one of our favorites from the trip.

We want to extend a heartfelt thank you to the team at Original Travels for being so responsive and patient throughout the planning process. Your guidance and attention to detail helped us organize a truly wonderful honeymoon experience in Morocco, and we’re so grateful for your help from start to finish.

A major highlight of our trip was the incredible fortune we had in being paired with Soufiane as our driver. He quickly became a friend and made every part of our journey easier, safer, and more enjoyable. His professionalism, kindness, and insight into Moroccan culture brought great peace of mind and added so much to the experience. We truly cannot express how great he was — a genuine part of what made our trip special.

Marrakesh:
We really enjoyed our time in Marrakesh. Riad Elegancia was beautiful, comfortable and welcoming, with wonderful staff who decorated our room for our honeymoon which was a very nice surprise. We especially have to thank the evening attendant who gave us perfect dinner recommendations. Highlights included our hammam experience at La Mason Arabe and the sunrise hot air balloon ride — both unforgettable. We also loved exploring the square in the evening, surrounded by music, lights, and energy. The guided tour was informative, and wandering the Medina both with and without a guide gave us a great feel for the city.

Ouarzazate:
The drive through the Atlas Mountains was a memorable adventure on its own. When we arrived, an unexpected rain storm changed our plans a bit, so we skipped the movie studio and instead relaxed at the hotel. The staff went above and beyond by decorating our room for our honeymoon, a very thoughtful touch, and a beautiful hotel.

Desert Camp:
The desert camp experience was incredible and unique. The accommodations were very comfortable for the setting, and the food and evening entertainment were excellent. Our only issue was a lack of clear communication from the camp about what to expect from the day tour with them. This tour overall was our least favorite activity of the trip. We were looking forward to spending time with a Berber family and learning about their culture, but our guide clearly did not want us to engage with the local people and it was obvious when he told the women who approached us (at two different camps) not to talk to us. We were prepared to leave some money for them (as was recommended), but we never got the opportunity. For the next stop, we were interested in listening to the local African music, but once we got there, it felt incredibly exploitative. It didn't seem like the musicians ever had a break and the managers (we think?) were clearly pushing them to be more lively. I would love to support this community, but I really encourage anyone with some power to look out for these men and make this a less exploitative experience. Lastly, we were left at a very empty hotel for several hours with limited options. When we arrived at the hotel, it was dark, no one was there except for two sleeping attendants, and our guide said, "OK, you hang out here now, I'll be back in 5 hours. And if you want to swim, pay them 100 Mad (which we did because there was nothing else to do)", and then walked away leaving us standing there confused and uneasy. Our guide also said he had to get back to the camp for work as it was a very busy time with lots of guests, stranding us. The only reason we even had our bathing suits was because the night before we overheard the couple next to us at dinner be told to bring theirs, so we packed one just in case. We never discussed this with our guide (he actually told us not to worry about the tour the night before during the music portion when we asked what the plan was) and if it was up to us, we would not have gone to a pool, at all.

However, we greatly appreciated how quickly Original Travels stepped in when we contacted them and helped arranged an ATV excursion — which turned out to be one of the highlights of the desert portion of our trip and we highly recommend. When we got dropped off to go back to the camp, I could discern a conversation that our driver had with the owner and our guide about this and our guide was not truthful when he said we were the ones who asked to go to the pool early. As stated above, we had never talked with him about it and it was clearly untrue with how fast we tried to find another activity. It also felt uncomfortable for us to be left at a pool when it's clear many villages do not have water in nor around the desert. It seemed a bit unethical and like a really bad thing to do as a visitor to the country. I would not recommend this tour to anyone going to Merzouga.

Outside of this tour; however, we did really enjoy our desert experience. We also want to highlight the kindness shown by the camp in preparing a special honeymoon cake for us our first night that we were able to share with the other guests. They very much went above and beyond in celebrating our honeymoon with a special song and dance and we truly appreciated these gestures and the kindness shown by employees of the camp and the other guests. This cake and music surprise was definitely a trip highlight.

Fez:
Fez was one of our favorite stops. The Riad and its location inside the old city were fantastic, the breakfast at the Riad was delicious, and our guided tour here was the best of the trip. We took our guide’s advice and avoided the Medina at night, but loved exploring it during the day. The city’s energy and authenticity left a lasting impression.

Rabat:
Our stop in Rabat was a great way to break up the drive north, and we were pleasantly surprised by how much we enjoyed seeing Morocco’s coastal side.

Casablanca:
While Casablanca offered fewer tourist sites, we enjoyed our time there, especially visiting the Hassan II Mosque and walking the boardwalk. It was a relaxing way to end our journey. The Mosque is incredible and our dinner, recommended by Souf, was delicious and fun.

Finally, we want to thank Original Travels and Soufiane again for their assistance when our return flight was unexpectedly canceled. Your swift help rearranging our stay near the airport and ensuring we were taken care of right up to our departure was deeply appreciated.

Overall, our honeymoon in Morocco was an unforgettable experience — filled with beauty, culture, warmth, and adventure. We would happily recommend Original Travels and Soufiane to anyone considering exploring Morocco.

Thank you so much for taking the time to share all this feedback with us. We're really glad that overall you had a wonderful honeymoon in Morocco, and we're especially happy that Soufiane made such a positive impact on your trip - he's truly one of the best.

We need to apologize for what happened with the desert day tour. This is usually one of the highlights for our travelers, but we know it fell short for you. What happened is that our local supplier changed the guide without telling us, and this led to all the communication problems and poor experience you had. We've already contacted them about this and we've stopped working with that particular guide.

You're absolutely right about the gnaoua music stop - it has become exploitative, and we've decided to remove it from the tour completely. And regarding the pool stop, we understand your concerns. Some clients do ask for it because of the heat, but we hear you that it didn't feel right and wasn't communicated properly. We should have discussed this with you beforehand.

We're really glad we could arrange the ATV experience for you quickly and that it became a highlight. That's more the kind of experience we want all our travelers to have.

Thank you again for the kind words about Soufiane, the riads, and the rest of your trip. Your feedback helps us improve, and we're grateful you've shared it so honestly with us.

All the best,
Abdel

Faissel even arranged a guide, Omar, to take us on a hike at Akchour. Great hike, good to be out of the car for a bit. So many amazing experiences. The medinas sounded like they could be a scary place, (I don't like knowing I may get lost), but we managed to navigate them, only getting lost once. We never felt unsafe. Faissel checked on us all the time when he was not with us, making sure we didn't need anything. All in all the trip was beyond any expectations I had. Beautiful country and people.
