Morocco Immersion Tours and Adventures

Morocco Immersion Tours & Adventures is a family . . . literally. As direct descendants of the first dynasty of Morocco, our family history is entwined with that of Morocco. We founded Morocco Immersion because of our love of our Berber culture and our desire to share it with the world. With over 20 years of experience in the Moroccan tour industry, we provide safe and affordable adventures that allow you to immerse yourself in the beauty and magic of the REAL Morocco. When you travel with us, you aren’t a “tourist.” You are an honored guest of the family. And that is the BEST way to experience Morocco.

Our Philosophy

We have built our company on three basic principles:
1. Know our guests and be flexible. Unlike many tour operators in Morocco, our drivers are part of our team. That means that before you arrive in Morocco, your driver will have details about your interests and itinerary. Once you arrive, we are flexible with your itinerary. If you love a certain place and want to spend more time, we will adjust the rest of your itinerary on the fly to make it happen. If you see something on the road that you want to check out, just ask your driver to stop. Machi Mouchkil (“No problem”).
2. Provide immersive experiences. We believe that the real beauty of Morocco is the culture and the people. In addition to the “must see” sites, we will provide unique experiences that let you mix and mingle with the local people - No matter what level accommodations you prefer.
3. Give back. We are committed to the development of the communities in which we operate, so we partner with businesses that are locally owned and operated as much as possible. For you that means high-quality, non-touristy, responsible travel with stays in authentic accommodations (riads, kasbahs, berber tents) and unique access to the local people.

I have been privileged to travel to many amazing places with my job (UK, Spain, France, Greece, Australia, Kenya, South Africa etc) and none compare to the experience we had in Morocco. From the first contact with Maryem and the full conversation with Sharon where I was able to ask any question I wanted to finalize the locations, the planning of the trip went smoothly. Together we came up with an itinerary that fit my two day conference into the planning and Maryem worked hard to ensure we could go to all of the places we wanted while suggesting other (amazing) stops to see along the way.This was my first guided tour and I was nervous about all of the unknowns, including spending 9 days with one specific tour guide with just me and my aunt. What if we didn't like him or understand him? 9 days is a long time!!! From the second Ahmed arrived at the airport to pick us up everything went smoothly and he just got better and better every day as we got to know each other a bit better. He was accommodating at every turn and our enjoyment was his biggest concern. Even when we weren't with him he was texting to make sure we were navigating fine, felt safe, and knew where to go to eat etc. Along the way Ahmed introduced us to other guides with context specific knowledge --each one was engaging, highly knowledgable and fun to spend time with. All of the guides we worked with were accommodating to our needs--if we wanted to cut a tour short to spend time at a pool or to add on something else in the vicinity they did so without batting an eye. Morocco is an amazing place from its breathtaking scenery to its people, culture and sense of community to its mouth watering food. I sincerely hope we are privileged enough to return and look forward to booking more trips with Kimkim

Every aspect of the trip was carefully and beautifully curated. This was the first time that we took a trip organized by an agency.
Maryem was very responsive from the beginning of the planning and organized an amazing trip for our family of five. She planned an unforgettable trip beginning and ending in Marrakesh, with a 4 Day Loop across the Atlas mountains through Dades Valley into the desert. Every Riad and Kasbah we stayed at were great. The camel ride at sunset to the luxury camp under the stars was a highlight not only of this trip but of any trip we’ve taken.
Aside from the planning, the most valuable aspect of the trip was our driver and guide, Omar. He not only drove us safely from place to place and provided historical and cultural information on Morocco and the places we visited, but he exemplified the hospitality, sincerity and friendliness of the Moroccan people. He connected us with local guides in the specific places we visited, who were also great. We particularly enjoyed walking through some of the small villages and appreciating the local people, local food, local culture, music and economy.
During the trip, we were able to communicate with Maryem to tweak our itinerary, which we left flexible (purposefully) for the final day and a half. We spent a 1/2 day with Omar, appreciating the Jardin Majorelle, Berber Museum and Yves Saint Laurent museum.
Overall, it was an unforgettable eight days in Morocco and we are looking forward to returning again with the same agencies (Morocco Imersion) and Kim Kim.

They worked with us prior to the trip and made sure we understood the landscape of Morocco and provided suggestions based on our preferences. Nihad was the one who curated our itinerary and was always available. Sharon also took the time to meet with me via Zoom so we can easily discuss our trip. Upon arrival, we were welcomed by our driver Rachid who was very pleasant and answered our questions and of course, a very skillful and safe driver. He coordinated with our Riad to meet us and help us with our luggages. Our Marrakech Medina Walking Tour Guide was Hassan and he was very knowledgeable and patient with our questions and waiting for us as we took time to take photos. We learned so much about the culture and the people. We had to switch drivers/guides the following day and it was Ahmed who took care of us the rest of the trip. He was a careful driver and with really good taste in music. We truly enjoyed his playlist. He truly acted like our concierge during our camel ride and dinner at Agafay desert as well as our dinner at La Boheme - a truly wonderful evening.
The rest of the trip was spent in Essaouira and Ahmed suggested places to eat and where to hang out for evening drinks. Afterwards, he really took care of us through our long drive to Casablanca for our return flight.
I also would like to mention Abderrahman who coordinated with us also as we transitioned between guides and drivers. Everyone was very accommodating and was always available for anything that we need. Highly recommended!

He was reliable, and excellent driver, and a lot of fun. We became part of his family and he part of ours. If you are planning a trip, I would ask for him.

The company's name summed up our experience: we felt that we were immersed in Morocco. In addition, to visiting some of the most common sites, we enjoyed our off-track journey through the Atlas Mountains, we enjoyed our cooking classes, which took us into individual's homes, and we loved having tea at Abdel's parents. Tom also enjoyed his hikes, and all but one of our guides were informative and personal. We learned a lot.

I should note that our trip was longer than most. We were there for 30 days, which gave us time to see the country a leisurely pace and to see the backroads.

Of all the places we stayed on our month-long trip to Morocco, this was my favorite.

In addition the Kasbah had beautiful public spaces, both inside the Kasbah and outside. Adding to the charm, were the donkeys that walked by in the early morning on their way to the fields. The best part of the Kasbah was the owner, Michelle, who was from the United States, and who could help me understand what it had been like to purchase and renovate the Kasbah and now to run it. We had several long chats over tea and, while my partner went hiking, she had one of the members of her staff teach me how to make msinenmen.

Thus, although the kasbah was fine, it was not anything special.

Dar Eau Vive
Bine el Ouidane

Dar Eau Vive is an upscale hotel on a cliff overlooking the river. Because there was a large group there the weekend we were there, the hotel was not as quiet or as romantic as it might have been on a weekday. Although the rooms are nice, our was small and we ended up putting our suitcases on the balcony, which was covered. The pool is small but nice and the gardens are outstanding. On one of the nights we were there, a group of drummers was there, and we had a great time dancing with them.

Riad La Croix Berbère Luxe
Marrakech

Because the riad is in the medina, you have to walk in, and it took us a day or two to figure out how to get out. The staff was, however, very helpful and even walked us to the main gate to meet our driver. Our room was on the second floor (actually the third)) so we got some exercise. We enjoyed chatting with the staff about their villages.

Riad Wind Palace
Essaouira

Based on other reviews, we asked for a room with a balcony and, although there was noise, we thoroughly enjoyed sitting on the balcony people watching. The only downside was that breakfast was on the rooftop, which meant we had to walk up 64 stairs before having our morning coffee.

Great food, easy to reach, close to the sand dunes. Very welcoming staff who switched us to another tent when our initial tent did not have power. Nice glamping camp.
