Imane Ouriche

Our recent trip to Morocco was everything we had hoped for and more. Karim was our driver/guide and he is a major asset to your company. He personalized our wishes and customized our experiences for a wonderful vacation. His life story was eye-opening and gave us a better understanding of the country and its people. We loved our accommodations and shopping events - coming home with way more stuff than we intended. Just one caution - maybe if you're almost 80 you should skip the camel ride.

My organized trip through KimKim went smoothly from start to finish. I reached out to several tour companies, but KimKim truly stood out, largely thanks to Imane. From the very beginning, she provided multiple Morocco tour options and responded promptly to every question I had. I was very happy with her pricing, which was more competitive than many other companies while still offering the same experiences and inclusions. Any time I wanted to make a change, Imane was quick to adjust the itinerary and sent updated plans, often daily until our trip was absolutely perfect. Her attentiveness and flexibility made the planning process effortless and enjoyable. We spent 13 days traveling throughout Morocco with a private driver, stopping in Rabat, Chefchaouen, Fes, Merzouga, Boumalne Dades, Marrakesh, and Casablanca. I cannot say enough wonderful things about our driver, Ilyace. Over the course of the trip, he became a dear friend, and it was genuinely hard to part ways at the end. Ilyace was fun, funny, informative, kind, and always ready to help with whatever we needed. His 12 years of experience truly showed in his deep knowledge of the country, roads, customs, and culture. He recommended incredible local places to eat that we never would have chosen on our own, which made the trip feel even more unique and special. I will absolutely be using KimKim again for future travels and am so glad I came across them during my Google search.
Thank you to everyone who made this trip so memorable!

Merzouga Luxury Desert Camps

Taouz

The staff here were so friendly! Everyone that we encountered truly wanted to make our experience special and memorable. So many smiles!! Our tent/room was comfortable and beautiful. I highly recommend staying 2 nights. The guided day trip in the area to visit with Nomads and look for fossils was a highlight of the trip.

While flies are expected in the desert, providing table fly fans could be a simple improvement that enhances the overall dining experience.

Douar Aït Ouffi

I wish I could remember the name of the manager who was so kind, friendly, and genuinely welcoming, he truly made breakfasts and dinners feel special. Every member of the staff was fantastic, and the meals were absolutely amazing. I especially loved taking a few peaceful walks behind the hotel along the river. Seeing the locals tending to their gardens and graciously welcoming me as I strolled through was a truly memorable and authentic experience.

Le Casablanca Hotel

Casablanca

We stayed here on our final night before departing. The hotel was beautiful, and the room was spacious and very accommodating. I especially loved the large bathtub, which was a wonderful treat after a two‑week trip. We spent our last day relaxing by the pool after touring the incredible mosque, which was a perfect way to unwind. While the pool service could have been a bit quicker and our dining experience at the outdoor restaurant was average, the stay overall was comfortable and a nice way to end our journey.

A Drive from Chefchaouen to Fes via Volubilis, Moulay Idriss & Meknes

Morocco

Ilyace was hands down one of the highlights of my entire trip! Having a private driver for nearly two weeks was such a treat. From beginning to end, he was incredibly helpful, informative, fun, and genuinely engaging. His 12 years of experience really showed and made me feel completely at ease on the road. We traveled more than 1,650 miles together! I would highly recommend specifically requesting Ilyace as your driver for your Morocco adventure. Saying goodbye at the end was truly hard, as it felt like I had made a new friend.

Ilyace introduced us to some great restaurants on our journey we would have never found ourselves. Loved the lamb chops at some tiny town along the way. One of the highlights of my trip!

Kim Kim overall made it easy for us to plan our trip to Morocco. We provided our interests and they made a specialized trip for us. Said was helpful in keeping us informed. Our driver Mustapha was great throughout the trip and was so helpful. Our guides were so knowledgeable. We really enjoyed our trip. I would definitely use Kim Kim again for our future travels.

Rachid our driver made our trip easy and enjoyable. He was able to get hard to find items and was available for us day & night. He was always cheerful, friendly & eager to help. I can’t praise him enough.

The trip was just wonderful! Thanks for all your help.

The trip to Marrakesh was amazing. The walking tour guide Mohamed was brilliant.
Our driver Soufiyan who took us around is a good driver.
Our hike in the Atlas mountain with Latifa was very enjoyable.
She helped me a lot over the rough patches and climbs and really took good care of us.

Hotel stays at Marrakech and Essaouira was perfect.
The desert camp was good but felt a bit rough around the edges as I believe it was a newer property.

Our trip to Morocco was fantastic thanks to Kim Kim! We had 3 kids ages 3-11 and were nervous about traveling with them but the whole experience was smooth, comfortable, exciting and fun! We loved Fez, Marrakesh and especially Essouria. Our driver Mustafa was so skilled, gracious and thoughtful. He did things like making sure that all of our rest stops during long drives playgrounds! The fantastic local guides were knowledgeable, flexible and made sure we spent our money in places that would be high quality and truly support the local people - for example we visited worker cooperatives to learn about everything from ceramics to aragan oil. They are so kind to children generally as a society in Morocco. It was beautiful to experience and made the trip that much easier and more welcoming. Kim Kim and the guides were also good about making some adjustments to the trip as we went along and adjusted to the reality of travel. For example we had over planned and not factored in a day of two for kids to just hang out and play at the pool!

Great location in the median in a quieter area. Away from the major hustle and bustle. Was a bit of a walk from where drivers could pick us up but we quickly got used to it.

The manager was so sweet as were the chef and the main server/bellman. The manager gave our kids little gifts at the end!

Family pottery and mosaic workshop

Morocco

This was a fun way to learn about ceramics. I thought there was going to be more pottery making by us/kids based on the description but it was really more of a quick fun few minutes for each of the kids. We loved it though. Great unique opportunity to see experienced artisans and work and understand how it all comes together.

Family Cooking Class at Amal Non-Profit Center: Cooking with Purpose in Marrakech

Marrakesh

This was such a unique experience and great for the whole family. We learned how to make traditional Moroccan dishes like chicken and lamb tagine, as well as things like how to prepare a proper Moroccan mint tea, which is way more intricate than I had ever thought. It was wonderful to do this with a local non-profit supporting local young women.

We had a fantastic vacation in Morocco, thanks in large part to KimKim! Our family thought this was one of our favorite trips. We like to plan a lot of a vacation ourselves and appreciated that KimKim let us book our own hotels and some tours, while arranging transportation and other tours themselves. The tours KimKim arranged were some of our favorites- the guides were very hands-on, informative, and flexible as needed with our family (we traveled with two kids, ages 1.5 & 6). Our driver, Yassine, was the highlight of our trip! He was with us for the whole week and was so kind and helpful. We were able to contact our local guide at any point during the trip, which was reassuring. We even changed something the night before (traveling to Casablanca earlier than planned) and they were able to accommodate. I cannot recommend enough!

We just returned from an unforgettable 8-day private tour in Morocco, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience! Traveling as a family of six, including teenagers and grandparents, we were a bit nervous about how everything would go, but it was absolutely great.
Planning with Said:
Before the trip even began, Imane was great to work with. After the plan was set, we were transferred to Said. I had a lot of questions during the planning process, and Said and Imane were always patient, responsive, and helpful. Said resolved every concern quickly, which gave me a lot of confidence.
Our Driver – Abdelghani:
Abdelghani was a great driver—extremely careful, professional, and thoughtful throughout the entire trip. We always felt safe on the road, which is so important, especially when we drove through challenging roads in sometimes snowy weather (I was super nervous and had probably reached out to Said about the snowy weather at least 3 times :). He was punctual, patient, and made sure we were comfortable at all times. Always a great person to interact with.
Our Guide – Omar:
Omar was a great this trip! Young, energetic, and he made every moment engaging and fun. He connected with our teens, keeping them interested and involved. At the same time, he was incredibly helpful to our grandparents. One moment that really stood out was during a hike that turned out to be more challenging than expected—Omar went above and beyond, helping the grandparents to ensure they are safe. That level of care and dedication is truly appreciated by us. He was new to this route, but was trying hard to make the trip educational for us.
Local Guides - in different cities (Fez, Dades, Marrakech):
We had local guides in different cities and they have various level of knowledge and some spent more time sending us to shopping. We are okay with them because they were all new experiences and we got to learn how things work, but it may not be for everyone.
Overall Experience:
The itinerary was well-planned, and every detail was taken care of. We wholeheartedly recommend Omar and Abdelghani. They made our trip a memorable adventure. Thank you!

Kimkim/Original Travels did an excellent job planning our trip. Saïd was wonderful to work with and communicated with us frequently both before and during the trip. All the hotels and riads were very well chosen, with the exception of Dar MD, which felt a bit small for our taste, and Riad Bayti, which we would not recommend.

We had an amazing driver throughout our journey across Morocco. Tayebb was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and made it feel like we had a guide with us for the entire trip. He shared so much about Moroccan history and recommended great places to visit and excellent restaurants along the way.

Thanks to Kimkim/Original Travels, we had a truly amazing experience. We will definitely recommend them to our friends back home and would love to plan another trip to Morocco with them in the future.
