Hakim ALIBOUCHE

We just got back from our vacation to Morocco and we cannot be happier with our experience. Everything we asked for
From the moment we were picked up at the airport by Mohamed, to the moment we were dropped off at the airport everything was so well taken care of and organized!
We want to make sure to mention Mohamed, our driver and the main guide during the trip, he made the whole experience so stress-free and pleasant that we cannot thank him enough. If you planning a trip, request Mohamed and you will be in great hands.
All the riads that we stayed in were great, very clean, and pleasant. Each one took care of our family like we were relatives visiting and not just some tourists stopping by for a night.
Guides - all the guides we interacted with were knowledgeable and accommodating to our family needs. We might have overdone with walking tours, as by the end of the trip kids were just done with those. The other added benefit of having guides in the medians, was that they kept too pushy salespeople away from us, letting us enjoy the tour without being forced to buy anything. You will go through some merchants that show you their craft but don’t feel pressured to buy anything directly from them as those prices are very inflated.
Sahara stay was absolutely the highlight of the trip and I highly recommend staying there for at least 2 nights so soak in the experience. We did 4x4 tour and although exhausting, it was super fun and drive around the dunes and see small villages in the Sahara, our guide Ibrahim was very attentive and friendly during our tour. Thank you, Ibrahim! Horseback riding in the afternoon in Sahara was another highlight - not as much for the kids as they were slowly led by the guides across the desert and it was hot and boring for them but for adults, we got to gallop and explore the lake, highly recommend for adults who aren’t too new to horseback riding. The camp that we stayed in, Riad Madu was like something from a movie - tents are comfortable and have all the necessities, food was in abundance, late night music and dancing.
The other riad that was an absolute highlight for our family was in Marrakech - Palais Sebban. The place is like a palace (hence the name) or a museum. We enjoyed hammam and dinner right in the hotel.

Half-Day Horseback Ride Tour to the Lake in Merzouga

Merzouga

This is a super fun activity for adults who know how to ride horses because you get to explore and ride through the lake and even gallop if you are comfortable. For kids it was a bit boring because they were just slowly let by the guides through the desert to the lake. Obviously it’s done for safety reason and we have no complaints, just think this is more fulfilling experience for adults. Snack by the lake was a nice touch and allowed us to relax and get rested.

We recently completed a 10-day trip to Morocco, and it was truly one of the most memorable travel experiences we’ve ever had. From start to finish, everything was thoughtfully planned and seamlessly executed.

The highlights of the trip were incredible — a rich cultural and food tour that gave us a deep appreciation of Moroccan traditions, stunning luxury accommodations throughout, and unforgettable adventures like ATV dune bashing in the Sahara and a magical camel ride across the desert. Visiting the Roman ruins at Volubilis was another standout — absolutely breathtaking and steeped in history.

A special mention goes to our amazing English-speaking guide and driver, Abdellatif Iggui, who was professional, warm, and incredibly knowledgeable. Having a dedicated vehicle and guide throughout made the journey smooth, comfortable, and truly personalized. We are also very grateful to Hakim from KimKim Travels for organizing such a well-curated itinerary — everything was perfectly coordinated.

A couple of minor points — vegetarian food options in traditional Moroccan cuisine were somewhat limited, and the horse riding experience in the desert was not ideal, mainly due to the lack of English-speaking staff at that activity.

That said, these were very small drawbacks in an otherwise exceptional trip.

Overall, this was a 5-star experience, and we would highly recommend Morocco — and especially this team — to anyone looking for a luxurious, culturally immersive, and adventure-filled getaway!

Working with Hakim and Orion Trek was an absolute dream — they went above and beyond to make our trip seamless and unforgettable. From the very first consultation, their team listened carefully to our wishes and crafted a personalized itinerary that perfectly balanced adventure, culture, and relaxation. Every detail was thoughtfully handled, from private English speaker driver (who we now consider a great friend) and guided tours to hidden local gems we never would have discovered on our own. Their responsiveness and care made us feel supported throughout the journey, turning what could have been stressful planning into pure excitement. Thanks to them, every day felt effortless and perfectly timed, allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in the magic of Morocco. We can honestly say they didn’t just organize a trip — they created memories we’ll cherish forever. This was the best vacation we have ever been on!

My family had an incredible trip! Everyone we met and worked with was so friendly and knowledgeable. Henyn, our guide in Marrakech, kept our kids (7 and 9) engaged. We spent a night glamping in the Agafay mountains, which was a perfect reset for the kids. We got to see how a Berber family lives, ride camels and quad bikes, and even swim! Along the way, Hakim, our driver Khalid, and all our guides gave us helpful tips for navigating around.

Médina Charme Riad & Spa

This riad is absolutely gorgeous! We had 2 separate adjacent rooms (kids 7 and 9 stayed in a room together) and we enjoyed coming back to the riad to drink tea and play card games. The caretakers Nabil and Yousef clearly take pride in their riad. Yousef particularly was so good with the kids and we enjoyed playing card games together! We would definitely come back, and when the weather is warmer so we can swim in the pool! (It was cold in Feb)

Guided Tour in Marrakech

Marrakesh

Everything with this trip planned by KimKim went great. The website is easy to use. Hakim, our representative, was fast, courteous, and always willing to help out. He created a great agenda for us in Morocco. The hotels (riads) we stayed at were simply amazing. Our driver, Khalid, was exceptional. Every hotel knew we were coming, the drivers and guides always showed up on time. They planned some additional activities such as a cooking class in Fes. I would use KimKim again.

I just finished a remarkable trip to Morocco during Christmas week. Hakim put together a solid itinerary, long in sightseeing and relatively short in shopping, as I had requested, and the result was a memorable and very special time.

My driver, Taha, was with me all week, and made me feel safe whether we were traversing rain, snow or sunshine. Additionally, he chose good, clean places for us to stop enroute.

Of special significance was the desert camp and camel ride on Christmas Eve. That sunset and the camp atmosphere, is something I will not soon forget.

I must also add that my flight into Morocco was delayed for about 11 hours, and during that whole time, the company hung with me and made sure I understood that they were there for me. Their actions were incredibly reassuring, and in the end, all worked out well.

I can recommend the services of Hak and the company without reservation.

Camel Trek to your Camp

Merzouga

​My recent trip to Morocco was, without a doubt, the most incredible travel experience my partner and I have ever had. From the ancient medinas to the stunning Atlas Mountains and the endless Sahara dunes, every single moment was pure magic. This seamless adventure was made possible by the truly outstanding service provided by Orion Trek Voyages.
​We must start by giving our immense gratitude to our driver, Adil. Adil was much more than just a driver—he was the calm, knowledgeable, and reliable backbone of our entire journey. Over the 12 days, he expertly navigated the long roads between cities like Fes, Merzouga, and Marrakech, always ensuring our safety and comfort. His professionalism, warm smile, and willingness to stop at every picturesque vista made the extensive travel feel like part of the adventure, not just a transfer. He is a genuine treasure and a stellar representation of Moroccan hospitality.
​The highlight of our guided tours was absolutely our time in Marrakech with Hanyn. Hanyn is an extraordinary tour guide! He brought the chaotic beauty of the Red City to life, guiding us through the labyrinthine souks, historical palaces, and the vibrant Jemaa el Fna square with expert knowledge and infectious enthusiasm. His deep understanding of the city's history, culture, and local secrets gave us insights we could never have found on our own. Our 6-hour historical sightseeing tour felt like a fascinating journey through time. If you find yourself in Marrakech, request Laghrib—he is simply the best in the business!
​Thank you to Orion Trek Voyages for crafting an itinerary that provided both adventure and luxurious comfort (the Hammam experience on Day 11 was the perfect end!). This was a bucket list trip that surpassed all expectations and will hold a special place in our memory forever.
​
Highlights:
​Driver: Adil (5/5 stars - the ultimate professional and companion)
​Marrakech Guide: Hanyn (5/5 stars - brilliant, passionate, and knowledgeable)
​Desert Camp Experience: Staff (5/5 stars - camel ride, night sky, spacious tent)
