Hamza EL Asely

Our trip to Morocco was even more than I could have imagined. The food was fantastic, the landscapes, the smaller and larger towns, the mountains, Roman ruins and, of course, the camel ride and camping in the desert - all of which far exceeded our expectations. What made our trip so special though was not just these places...it was our driver, Tayeb. He expertly navigated mountain roads, through villages to the desert and back and, throughout our journey found the perfect stops for coffee and great lunch stops. He also made terrific dinner recommendations and always made sure we knew about the towns we were staying in. Above and beyond that, Tayeb was great company and made even the longest of our drives between cities go very quickly with his easy-to-get-along-with personality. If you have a driver as great as Tayeb, you'll have an amazing time exploring Morocco! I should also add that we had guides in both Fes and Marrakech...which are essential. The complex alleys and small roads makes it impossible for a visitor to navigate without expert guidance. Sharif was our guide in Fes and he was extremely knowledgeable about how to navigate the streets of Fes' marketplace. Mohammed was our guide in Marrakech and he, too, was an expert navigator and guide. Also, Said from Original Travel was extremely responsive throughout our journeys in Morocco...and we would not have had our amazing driver Tayeb or our amazing guides without him.

Riad Ghita

Fes

The hosts at this Riad were extremely kind and welcoming. The atrium in the middle was beautiful, as was our room. Extremely clean. We chose to eat dinner here on one of our nights and the food was amazing!

Authenticity & Character

The atrium had all 4 markings of an authentic Riad: Plasterwork, Woodwork, Marble and Fes Tilework. Amazing!

Tiziri Luxury Camp

Merzouga

This camp is definitely GLAMPING! Very clean and cozy with Moroccan rugs covering the floors, our own personal shower and bathroom...and a wonderful king-size bed. The food was more than I could have thought possible in the middle of the desert...and the service was great.

Dar Rihana Dades

Douar Aït Ouffi

This Riad is in a very small town that we probably would not have stopped at on our own if we had designed every element of our itinerary by ourselves. I'm so glad our travel agent included this stop. The Riad looks unassuming on the outside (as most do) but there was a lovely pool, gardens to walk through in the back and the food was truly gourmet. It's decorated in a more modern way, and it was, overall, a lovely place to spend a night in between long travels between 2 larger cities.

From the moment we decided to book a tour of Morocco with KimKim, we were met with excellent customer care. The KimKim team, especially Said, was quick to respond and patiently answered our many questions and requests for customization. The website was great to use and served us well throughout the planning and during the trip.
Even before we embarked on our journey from Denver to Casablanca, Oussama, our driver/guide, was in contact with us and as soon as we touched down he efficiently navigated us towards him and the very comfortable van we would call ours for the next ten days. There was no doubt that we were in the best hands possible. Aside from being a kind and patient human, Oussama organically shared his love and knowledge of his beautiful country with us throughout the trip. He patiently accommodated our schedules and needs and answered a million questions. We added several excursions and each was superb. He matched us with Mohammed for a most insightful and delicious city and food tour in Marrakech; the next morning, we dove into a Hammam experience that my daughter called the absolute best thing that has ever happened to her, while my husband played golf at the oldest golf club in Morocco. We left Marrakech after three nights, following the lush green river valley to the striking peaks of the Atlas mountains to Imlil for one nicht. Again we were met by a knowledgeable guide who exposed us to the culture of his people and kindly opened up his house for a traditional lunch before continuing our hike to a waterfall through narrow, steep paths with amazing views. After a comfortable night at what seemed like our own private hotel (with pool), we left the peaks for the desert for two nights. Who thought we would be greeted with such comfort - the clamping in Agafay, as everything, exceeded our expectations. So did the ATV tour and Camel ride (with a baby camel in tow), followed by surfing and another Hammam in Essaouira… too many highlights to list. Every accomodation was great (with the Riad Le Pelerin in Marrakech being the most beautiful and special place we have ever stayed at), every restaurant recommendation, every place to stop to take in the sights - even when pressed, I could not come up with a ‘complaint’. This trip was the most memorable vacation we have ever taken with our family and the sounds, sights and tastes will be with us forever. We are already thinking about where we can go next and KimKim is on top of our list to guide us on our next adventure. Highly, highly recommend the company and their fantastic local partners. Again, big shout-out to Said and Oussama for a trip of a lifetime to North Africa.

Really amazing trip - everything was extremely well organized, and we loved beautiful Morocco with its interesting history and stunning architecture. We had excellent tour guides - Sharif in Fez and our guide in Marrakech (sorry, I don't remember his name) were very knowledgeable and thorough. I especially want to give compliments to our driver Samir - he was truly excellent. He was always on time, always accommodating, as well as truly kind and pleasant. We are very fortunate to have had such an excellent team of professionals helping us with this trip. Thank you!!

We had a fabulous trip!
The planning was so easy, especially when we wanted to add or change anything. Having used KimKim before I knew that they would be the best choice for our Moroccan adventure!
Our driver Samir was an excellent and took very good care of us. He pointed out interesting things along our route, stopping to see sights and getting lunch and local product along the way.
Our guides in Fez (Sherif) and Marrakesh (Hanan) were awesome! Answering all our questions, explaining history and interesting facts and very patient when we wanted to linger a litter longer.
We were 'wow-ed" by all of the hotels/riad that were chosen for us. All were spotlessly clean with warm and friendly staff.

We just returned from an incredible 12-night adventure through Morocco, and it’s hard to put into words how truly special this trip was. From the bustling cities to the serene desert landscapes, every stop—Rabat, Chefchaouen, Fez, Marrakech, Merzouga and the Sahara, Essaouira, and the Dades Valley—offered something unique and unforgettable.

One of the highlights was staying in a series of beautiful Riads nestled within the Medinas of each city. These accommodations gave us a deeply authentic experience—waking up to traditional Moroccan breakfasts, hearing the distant call to prayer, and soaking in the architecture and charm that can only be found behind the doors of a Riad.

The guided tours in Fez, Marrakech, and Essaouira were outstanding. Our guides—Sharef, Said, and Said—were each exceptional in their own way. They combined deep cultural and historical knowledge with local expertise, giving us access to hidden corners, untold stories, and a fuller appreciation of each city's heartbeat. We left every tour feeling enlightened, entertained, and even more in love with Morocco.

But the true star of our journey was our driver, Hamza. From the moment he picked us up, Hamza became more than just our driver—he became our friend, our advisor, and in many ways, the soul of the trip. His calm presence, excellent driving, and thoughtfulness elevated the entire experience. He helped us with restaurant recommendations, guided us in unfamiliar places, and always made us feel safe and cared for. We were lucky to have him with us every step of the way.

We even shared several meals with Hamza—our way of showing appreciation, but also because we genuinely enjoyed his company. He told us about his life, his family, and what it’s like to live in modern Morocco. His easy rapport and warm personality especially clicked with our spirited Spanish matriarch, who kept the group laughing—and quickly became close friends with Hamza herself.

This trip could have gone very differently had we not all connected the way we did, but Hamza made it effortless. His presence was not just helpful—it was meaningful. We left Morocco with a suitcase full of souvenirs and a heart full of gratitude for him. We’ll absolutely be staying in touch.

Morocco captured our imaginations, delighted our senses, and opened our hearts. This journey was so much more than sightseeing—it was an immersion into history, culture, friendship, and beauty. We’ll be talking about this one for a long time.

We loved our 8-day visit to Morocco. Our driver, Tayeb, was an excellent source of information about the places we were visiting, historical background, cultural insights and other, more practical matters. He was also totally flexible about how and where we spent our time, adjusting schedules whenever our priorities shifted slightly. We visited Marrakesh, Casablanca (briefly), Rabat, Fes, Chefchaouen, and Tangier (with stops at a few other locations along the way). All in all, we found Morocco a fascinating country, a charming mix of old and new, with very modern infrastructure in very traditional settings, and very open and hospitable people. KimKim was endlessly patient with us in the initial planning for the trip, and helped us put together an itinerary that gave us just the right exposure to their beautiful country. We can certainly recommend their services to any who are considering a visit to Morocco.

Unforgettable Journey Through Morocco with KimKim Travel and Our Amazing Driver, Ilyace.

My wife and I recently returned from an incredible trip to Morocco, meticulously planned by KimKim Travel, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. From start to finish, everything was seamless, thoughtfully curated, and stress-free — allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in the magic and beauty of this fascinating country.

Our journey took us from the bustling city of Casablanca, to the serene blue streets of Chefchaouen, the rich culture and history of Fes, the awe-inspiring dunes of Merzouga in the Sahara Desert, the peaceful palm groves of Skoura, and finally to the vibrant, colorful energy of Marrakesh.

Every destination offered something unique, and KimKim's local team, including Sharif in Fes and Hanan in Marrakesh, ensured that we experienced each place in a truly authentic and comfortable way.

One of the standout aspects of our trip was the fantastic lodging arranged for us. Each riad and hotel was not only beautiful and welcoming but also ideally located and reflective of the local character. We felt like every stop was a special experience, thanks to the thoughtful accommodations.

A major highlight of our journey was our private driver, Ilyace. From the moment he picked us up, we knew we were in great hands. He was incredibly professional, punctual, and knowledgeable — but more than that, he was kind, personable, and genuinely passionate about sharing his country with us. His insights, recommendations, and stories enriched every leg of the trip, and we felt both safe and cared for throughout. Ilyace truly went above and beyond, and we can’t thank him enough.

In summary, we wholeheartedly recommend KimKim and their Moroccan team to anyone considering a trip to Morocco. Their attention to detail, personalized approach, and the wonderful local connections (like Ilyace!) made our trip unforgettable. We came home with not only beautiful memories but a deep appreciation for the culture, landscape, and people of Morocco.

We loved working with Hamza, Said and everyone at Original Travels, which is based in Morocco. We were fortunate to be connected to them via KimKim. We learned so much about the history of Morocco from our wonderful driver Mustapha who beautifully navigated the country's driving craziness. We also really liked all the lovely accommodations that were selected for us. The team at Original Travels really listen to what we wanted and delivered 100%.

Hammam Ino at Ksar El Kabbaba

Skoura

Ksar El Kabbaba is Luxury at the highest level at a price many can afford due to its location in the middle of nowhere between Marrakesh and Merzouga. Run, don't walk to stay here. The hamman is the best we have ever experienced. The cooking class under the 250-year-old olive tree is phenomenal. The pool is gorgeous. The staff is so nice.

Hamza and Said were very helpful and quick to respond both before and during our trip across Morocco. We reached out to Kimkim at the last minute to plan a trip and they did a wonderful job.

Ayoub was our guide/driver for the full trip and he was everything we could have hoped for. His positive attitude always added to the day. Ayoub helped us see unique sights along the journey and even made our long travel days engaging and interesting. It was genuinely wonderful to have everything scheduled and outlined for us. We felt like we could turn our planning brains off and just enjoy the sights and culture of the regions.

Our city guides, Sharif in Fes and Sellam in Marrakesh, were knowledgeable of the history and showed us around to many of the local hot spots. It was great having an official guide for half day tours.

We had a great time and thank everyone involved in the trip!

I travelled to Morocco with my 2 kids, ages 11 and 14, from April 12-20, 2025. We have an amazing, magical time!
The trip was planned perfectly- we have a good mix of sights, learning crafts, visiting women's cooperatives and relaxing. Our driver, Oussama, took care of us the entire time. I didn't have to worry about the timings, how to get places because he was on top of it. This let me enjoy the trip with my kids instead of stressing over timetables and calling guides.
One day, my daughter was pretty sick on our way to the Sahara dessert where we were to stay the night. Oussama elected to stay in a tent, in the dessert also, in case my daughter got worse and needed help.
Our guides were also fabulous. Sharef, in Fes, was patient and full of knowledge. We were passing a veterinary clinic set up for the working animals in Fes. I asked to stop by there. He said sure and we spent an hour there learning about their mission and learned the head vet went to the same school I did!
A cooking class was set up for us in someone's home- this was my son's favorite experience.
The hotels we stayed in were perfect.
I would definitely contact KimKim again to help me book another trip as we had local guides, met locals, were invited into their homes and were taken care of.

I am the 11 year old. The things I loved were when sharef took us to the medina in fes, he let us go into any place we wanted to. Also he took us to the best restaurants, an even took us to a place where they show you carpets. I also loved the old city in fes because all of the houses were beautiful. Also our amazing driver Oussama he took us everywhere and he took us to get lunch at places everywhere. Also he is one of the nicest drivers I have ever met. Thank you everyone.
