Mohamed El Asely

Overall, I'd say the trip was a success. Morocco was a unique destination with lots of history. The itinerary with pros and cons is below:

Some high level detailed about the trip and our experience with KimKim's user interface:

11 days starting and ending in Casablanca. We took Royal Air Maroc from Montreal to Casablanca and back. If you have an option to take another airline, I would highly recommend it. Royal Air Maroc has bad customer service and is generally not a friendly business. If you need further proof, just look at Royal Air Maroc's reviews on TripAdvisor...it's bad.

KimKim's user interface is pretty slick, especially with the chat feature. I like the ease of communication. A con I have is that when you finalize trip updates and a new itinerary is created in the chat, it doesn't necessarily update the trip itinerary tab on the website. Those two items should really be synced so the customer doesn't get confused with all of the changes that take place while planning a large trip.

The first day we landed in Casablanca and our private driver picked us up from the airport and transported us straight to Marrakech. Our driver was very great and spoke good English. He was friendly and chatted with us throughout our trip. The driver really worked hard as our itinerary required lots of driving.

Marrakech: The most tourist friendly city of our trip. It was easy and safe to walk around. We liked our guide a lot. I'd recommend the food tour as that was a good experience to try local food.

Essaouira: This coastal town was about 2.5 hours east of Marrakech and provided a relaxed feel with a pretty neat local fishing culture. Lots of fresh catches in the medina which was fun to observe. A good look into non-tourist Moroccan culture. We enjoyed our guide here as well. Very relaxed and informative.

Ait Benhadou: You can probably skip the Kasbah and Ait Benhaddou if you plan on going to the desert. There really isn't much to see unless you like movie props from Game of Thrones or Gladiator. This town has just gotten hype from Hollywood and isn't worth seeing. The trip to the desert is very long. We spent 2 days traveling for about 6 hours both days just to get there. If we had spent more time driving instead of stopping and staying in Ait Benhaddou, this part of the trip would have been much better. I'd recommend you keep driving and stay somewhere around the Todha Gorge.

Sahara Desert: Cool spot/experience that I would highly recommend. Riding the camels was definitely my highlight. Beautiful views and our Desert Luxury Camp was great! NOTE: You can buy and bring your own wine to the desert camp and save some money. A big con here is that there was little information for how we were supposed to get to/from the desert camp. KimKim needs to provide a much more detailed itinerary of when guests can arrive at the desert camp headquarters for transport out into the desert to the campground. The lack of information on timing and what exactly we could bring out to the camp misguided us and was rather inconvenient.

Fes: Overall a really cool place with the exception of some locals in the medina trying to misdirect you and get you lost so they can lead you out for tip money. Definitely something I found bothersome, but Fes is a really unique experience. The medina is so maze like, it's something I've never experienced before. We also really enjoyed the food in Fes. Our guide in Fes, Sherrif, was the best guide we had all trip. We went against the hotel advice of KimKim and chose our own hotel in Fes which was rather deep in the medina. I wouldn't recommend this due to how easy it is to get lost going to and from your hotel and how many of the locals tried to misdirect us during our travels to/from our hotel. If I could do it again, I'd take KimKim's hotel advice and stay more on the fringe of the medina closer to a main street so I didn't have to deal with the navigation stress, especially at night. I would also recommend that KimKim in the future please explain to guests why the recommend the hotels that they do. Some explanation of guest safety would have been very helpful here.

Chefchaouen: Relaxing city with good views and art but overhyped by Instagram. No need to go here if you're tight on timeline. Our guide here was very nice but hard to understand. We felt as though we walked out without really learning much about the history/culture of the city.

Rabat: A bigger modern city, not much else to say. Definitely not the reason you travel to Morocco. We only passed through and it was enough.

Casablanca: I had the exact same thought about Casablanca as I did about Rabat. Not the reason you travel to Morocco, although the Hassan II Mosque is worth seeing if you find time while flying in/out of Casablanca. It was massive and gorgeous! NOTE: The Hassan II Mosque allows tourist to enter but you must enter at one of the designated times. We were NOT told this by KimKim as the inside tour wasn't part of our itinerary and we missed the opportunity to go inside. This was a big letdown when we found out we were too late to see the inside. If the customer is having a tour of Casablanca, a tour of the inside of the Hassan II Mosque should be obligatory and times of entry should be clearly stated to the customer. Unclear minor details and trip logistics made for some frustration through the entire trip. Although it didn't lead to any major setbacks, this type of detailed planning is what we paid for when using a guide service, and we feel as though we didn't receive the local expertise and guidance at certain times. The Hassan II Mosque visit is an example of this logistics issue. Another negative about our trip to Casablanca was that KimKim recommended the Movenpick and it was not very nice. It felt dated and unclean. I'd recommend KimKim find a different hotel to work with.

Activity Review

Serenity Unleashed: Indulge in a Tranquil Hammam & Spa Experience

Morocco

The cultural experience was interesting but this Hammam wasn't the right fit. We were looking for something much more luxurious and we thought that would have been built into our itinerary, but this place just wan't nice. It felt very hustle bustle and the business model was to move tourist - there was nothing relaxing about this experience. There are many nice Hammams in Marrakech, but this wasn't one of them. The bad part was that KimKim never told us which Hammam we were booked at. We trusted them and they let us down on this experience.

Quality of Experience

Mohamed was a great guide and provided us a lot info during our visit to Fes, explaining with detail each location visited. We really enjoyed our visit to the Medina because we had a very professional guide, taking care of every detail (including a delicious bread from the artisan oven). Thanks for your fantastic service.

Our driver Reda was amazing. Guides Osama and Adib were also good. Accommodations were so mediocre. Most of them were not even clean as Said told me five star accommodations. There was nothing five star about any of the accommodations. It was more like economy lodges. This was my first time going through a travel agency and it was rip off.

My wife and I wanted a trip that allowed us to see many parts of Morocco. The team went back and forth with us until we finally had a plan that we really loved. We started in Tangier and our driver, Soufyan, picked us up from the airport. The SUV was very nice and clean. Soufyan took us to a store to make sure we had things for the night. We drove from Tangier to the Blue City to Casablanca to Marrakesh to the Agafay Desert. Soufyan made sure we had very authentic experiences, as we stopped at various local restaurants and shops along the way. We even met Soufyan's mother and brother and shared a meal with them. Soufyan knew where to find anything we needed and let us play music in the car to get the vibes right. He was available 24/7 and we were very happy to have him around. I'm committed to always finding a person like Soufyan wherever we travel to--it makes the experience all the more memorable.

Just returned from our fabulous tour of Morocco! We were met at Casablanca Airport by our trip Driver/Guide, Samir who not only most knowledgeable about Morocco but an expert driver who managed the sometimes tricky roads of Morocco with ease. I should mention this is our third visit to Morocco with the first one being only 55 years ago. Obviously things have changed and for the better since then.
After a short stay in Casablanca we headed to Chefchaouen a picturesque town on the side of the Atlas mountains. A bit too vertical for people our age but we would not have missed it for anything.
Loved Fez and our gorgeous hotel. Spent two nights there and could have spent many more.
Now on to the desert with a two hour camel ride to the Luxury Camp with the friendliest people you every met. We have made good friends with people like Mustapha and the others. If you have been on a camel before a two hour ride is great but as a beginner you may want to only make it a half hour ride.
After a one night stop in Boumaine Dades high in the most gorgeous mountains you have ever seen, it was on to Marrakesh for three nights. Again one beautiful hotel ideally situated with great meals. My wife is most talkative and found that all the people she talked to were very friendly with some even giving her a kiss goodbye.
Our last stop in Morocco was Essaouira at the Atlantic coast of Morocco. A beautiful seaside town with cool breezes and most friendly people at the hotel we stayed.
We are every tired but would do it again at the drop of a hat.
Many thank to Kimkim, Original Travels, Mohamad, Said, Samir, Meryem, Mustapha and all the others that made our trip one to remember forever

Our mom/daughter trip to Morocco turned out better than I could have imagined. The KimKim team was great to work with. They were so friendly and professional, and as we were traveling when the earthquake happened, they were quick to make sure we were safe and fine. Our driver, Ilyace was amazing. He remained very much engaged with us, even after the earthquake happened, which was so appreciated, especially with having family and friends in Marrekech. We made such great memories and learned so much about this beautiful country, it’s history, culture and friendly people.

This trip was a mother/daughter trip for the first time since covid and it couldn’t have gone better!! Mohammed, Said and our driver, Ilyace were amazing! We were there during the earthquake and Said reacted very quickly to ensure that we were safe. Our local guides in Fes, Essaouira and Marrakech were great and very knowledgeable about their cities. My only quip was that the Fes and Marrakech tours tried to take us to a rug co-op (we did one in Fes) and we ended up at a Berber apothecary co-op twice as well. There didn’t seem to be communication as to the activities we had completed in a previous city. Some of the stores also felt very pushy for sales. But that’s definitely not Said, Ilyace or anyone with KimKim/Original Travels fault!

Wonderful ten days in Morocco last December!

My husband and I typically plan and book our trips on our own, but this time we wanted to visit many places and needed a driver to takes us from place to place.

After reading many reviews, we contacted Kimkim and they didn't disappoint: they were very responsive and immediately put us in touch with a local agency, Original Travels.

Mohamed has been very helpful putting the itinerary together based on our interests and specific requests, understanding that we weren't looking for a fully organized trip and wanted to discover Morocco on our own.
He suggested charming riads and cultural/fun activities to do.
We kept making changes and Mohamed was very fast (and patient!) on sending us the updates.

Once in Morocco, Said made sure everything was going as planned and we were enjoying our trip. He went above and beyond our expectations and also arranged a wonderful New Year's Eve dinner!

Our driver, Soufyan, was excellent: very professional, safe, fun, and very attentive to all our needs!
It was reassuring to see him every morning, picking us up at our hotel, always on time!
Along the road he took us to traditional restaurants and recommended typical dishes to try.
He definitely made this trip stress free and so memorable, especially when he invited us to his house to meet his family and cooked for us... such a wonderful experience!!
We enjoyed the hours in the car with him. Learning about the Moroccan culture, music and his family.

One of the highlights of our trip was the desert: spectacular camel ride at sunset to the Tiziry Luxury Camp.
Ahmed and the Berber staff were so welcoming and fun!

We had such a good experience with KimKim that now we are organizing our trip to India.

Our adventure through Morocco was absolutely incredible thanks to KimKim! We did a customized mother daughter trip for 4. From the very start of our planning, Mohamed was so accommodating and attentive and tailored our trip according to our wants. Once we arrived to Morocco, Said was our contact person if we should need anything and he was amazing as well. Our favorite person in Morocco was our fabulous, kind, professional, sweet driver Samir. We love Samir!!! He drove us around Morocco for 12 days. We felt very safe and comfortable from day one. Samir made himself available 24/7 if need be. His English was great and we had the best time with him! We were very sad to say goodbye, Samir felt like family during our time in Morocco! Overall, KikKim was a 10!!!! I will definitely use them again.

I thank Kimkim for the most incredible experience of Morocco. We will surely use Kimkim again for our next trip. Our time in Morocco was magnificent. Special thanks to Samir, our driver. We highly recommend him. We were a group of 4 woman and felt safe from the first moment at the airport to the end of our trip. By the end of our trip he felt like family to us. We are so grateful for this wonderful experience.

Amazing adventure. Kimkim could not have been a better service to book with. We had the absolutely most amazing time in Morocco & saw so much of the beautiful country. Communication was exceptional, any question or minor issue (we got the stomach bug) was quickly answered and taken care of by them. Our driver, Samir could not have been better. We were absolutely obsessed with Samir, he was professional, informational and truly made our trip once of a life time. We could not have nicer things to say about Samir. Thank you Kimkim for setting us up with an incredible trip to morocco!

Myself and my partner organized a two weeks trip around Morocco with Mohamed of KimKim, stopping in 8 different cities (and many more small stops throughout the country). We had a great experience working with Mohammed. He was really receptive to what we wanted, his answer time was so quick and he was always happy to make modifications in order to make sure our trip was exactly how we had dreamed it. Together, we created an epic itinerary!

Overall, we had an amazing trip around Morocco, but we must say that it was made even more memorable and magical thanks to our driver Samir Gemmaoui. He was so generous with all the information. He thought us along the way on the Moroccan/ Amazigh culture, language and religion. We learnt so much!

We felt safe with him and had full trust. We stopped at the most beautiful spots along the way! We joked he was the #photoshootmaster! We have the most beautiful memories to bring back home.

I must also add that this was a trip where I was turning 30 years old. He went above and beyond to make my birthday incredible with a personalized birthday cake and a last minute add to Akchour.
(On this note, we highly suggest to go to Akchour to hike up above God’s Bridge and to swim in the cool but beautiful water!)

We feel extremely lucky to have had the chance to have Samir as our driver. He started off as our driver and finished as a member of our family.

We highly suggest to use KimKim and of course Samir for anyone who wishes to have a dream trip with no stress in Morocco.

We loved our trip so much that we are already planning when we can come back! (Hopefully soon!)

Tanmirt and Shookran!

This was also un "coup de coeur" for us. The room was so great, with a view of the mountains. A terasse surrounded by Mountains. It was relaly the most peaceful place. We loved the fact that there was a free Hammam! The food was so incredibly good. We had a wonderful experience at this Kasbah and we are actually planning on coming back hopefully in the near future. Things to improve: Let the visitors know that there is a walk down to the city in order to leave the Kasbah and therefore to NOT wear sandals.

This was the worst activity of our trip. The guided tour felt more like a shopping trip than an actual tour. (Guide's name was Mohammed) Our guide made us feel bad about not spending. We had told them that we had already bought a carpet, but we still ended up spending 45 minutes in a carpet store. We would have much more enjoyed our time experiencing the city alone with help from our driver Samir to get to some of the places.

Guided Hike from the Azzaden Valley to Aguersiouâl & Imlil

Morocco

We were really hoping to do an actual hike in Imlil as there are SO many to do and we had mentioned this multiple times to Mohamed. Unfortunately this was only a walk through the village...and although beautiful, it was not what we wanted. Our guide Mohammed however was really fun and we are excited to come back to hike up Toubkal.

Where do we even begin.. our trip to Morocco that was put together by Original Travels couldn't have gone any better. We worked with Mohamed during the planning stage. He was very knowledgeable and patient. We were all over the place in terms of trying to see everything in a short amount of time. We kept changing our minds and without hesitation he made the adjustments to our itinerary and kept reassuring us that we would be able to see everything we had hoped for.

Once we arrived in Morocco we were greeted by our driver, Soukayna. We cannot say enough good things about her! She truly made our trip spectacular. She always had a smile on her face, personable, funny, professional, safe and an amazing driver, calm, always early, resourceful, and went above and beyond to make sure we had the most memorable vacation. She even made sure that our 5 year wedding anniversary was not forgotten and surprised us with a cake she was able to source from a local family in Merzouga. We couldn't imagine seeing and experiencing Morocco with anyone else. Soukayna started off as our driver and ended as our family she was truly the hardest goodbye of our trip!

The careful planning and on-the-ground attention were seamless. We didn't have to think about a thing! Our driver Samir was the best :) He was kind, calm, and attentive, and he didn't ask a million questions / play music / talk the whole time, which is the fear in these long drives. We could relax knowing he was taking us from A to B and doing so in a friendly, professional manner. We never had to worry about anything knowing he was with us. I think we wish we would have flown into Tangier, or had that option made clearer as it was a long drive to Chefchaoen on the first day, but that was a minor detail. Also, for Maison Arabe, maybe to make it clear that its not a PRIVATE cooking class, it's with a group of others.
We loved the trip and all the destinations :) So thank you! It will be a long-lasting memory.

My cousin and I used Kimkim for our trip to Morocco. We both are busy and don’t like being the planners so we went with this company after searching and reading reviews, and we are so glad we did. They planned our entire trip with a private driver, hotel stays, tours, and other adventures. We stayed in six cities, so it would have been a lot of research, but with kimkim they planned it all, tailoring it to our preferences. Faissel, our private driver, was the absolute best. He felt like a friend from day one and treated us as if he had known us for years. We had complete faith and trust in him. He provided cultural information, answered our questions, pointed out information we might not know, and gave us space when we were tired. Our trip was the experience we wanted and there is no way we could have planned this without the use of a travel company like kimkim. Highly recommend and would use again.

Our trip was prefect. I worked with my guide to create the perfect Morrocan itinerary for July. We skipped Marrakech which was not something most guides were okay with. I completely understand but it would have been 127 degrees. We opted for northern Morocco and absolutely loved the cool breezes, hiking and remoteness.

My husband and I just got back from an amazing 9-day trip across Morocco with KimKim and Original Travels.

From the planning of the trip with Mohammed to the hotel booking with Said everything for simple and seamless. The riads we stayed at were extremely beautiful and we met friendly people along the way. Mohammed and Said were both very responsive and helpful whenever we had any questions or concerns.

We were welcomed at the Casablanca airport by Aziz our driver who set the tone for our entire trip. Aziz was always on time, took good care of us ensured we had water and snacks and stopped at the best spots for pics. He shared a lot of information about the countryside, vegetation and culture and also played some great Moroccan and Indian music on the long drives.
Our trip started at Chefchauoen and ended at Casablanca with knowledgeable guides at every place - huge shout out to Mohammed, Adil, Said at the Orient Desert Camp and Hanan in Marakkesh. The highlight of our trip was the Sahara desert - from the camel ride, to the extremely comfortable camp with hot water, the berber music and the most beautiful sunrise.

Highly recommend going with Kim Kim for your next trip!

Original Travels’ team of professionals, level of organization as well as expertise in this field is unmatched. My husband and I felt incredibly secure and exceptionally taken care of during the booking process as well as during our trip in March 2023. Saïd exhibits nothing but professionalism and expertise as it relates to his business and care of his guests. Soufiane, our driver, not only safely transported us around the country of Morocco during our 12 days of travel, he also grew to feel much like family and treated us as such. Soufiane is an incredibly skilled driver and should be known as the best of the best. When it comes to making guests feel comfortable, welcome and worry free during their journeys, Soufiane is the finest. Soufiane is not only respected and beloved by his colleagues, friends and family, but by us as well. I would certainly recommend booking your Moroccan vacation with Original Travels, moreover, I would highly highly recommend requesting Soufiane as your driver during your travels.

We booked through KimKim after it was recommended by an acquaintance. The planning process was easy and seamless. The team was incredibly flexible and took all of our requests into account in putting the final itinerary together in just a few days. Our driver and guide -Abdelhadi - was absolutely amazing. He was knowledgeable and gave us enough information about the country and each location to be informative and even incorporated facts he knew our young children would be interested in. He was a very safe driver and really took into account our interests and preferences about how to plan out each day. He was always easy to get in touch with and on days when we had free time and we on our own, he frequently checked in on us to see if there was anything we needed. The highlights of our trip were definitely the Tiziri Camp in the Merzouga desert (and the camel ride in to camp during sunset, which turned out to be our kids’ favorite part of the entire trip), the drive over the Atlas mountains from Dades to Marrekesh, and the days we spent in Marrakesh. Tiziri In particular was phenomenal and some of the best food (and hosts) we had in the country. Most importantly, Abdelhadi was very patient and our kids really enjoyed spending time with him, and were sad to say goodbye to him as we left morocco. We would absolutely recommend KimKim and Abdelhadi to our friends.
