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.

Like the Amazigh expression, that he is more like a brother than a friend, Ahmed was more than just a driver. He was a great travel companion! All of our local guides where top notch (Hishim, Hasania, Rashid). Our lunch at Said's, and visit in the apple orchard, were wonderful and we loved the cooking class with Nawal and Habiba.

The other guides were also very informative like Hshania in Rabat, Khlafa in Fes, Hicham in Marakkech, and the gentleman in Volubilis . We had a fantastic travel and time in Morocco. In summary, the tour was well planned, organized, have great Tour manager, and exdperienced knowledgeable guides. Without hesitation I recommend to anyone Immersion Tour if you are planning to see Morocco. Lastly before I go, our Camel ride in the Sahara desert was beyond my expectation. Thank you Nihad, and your crew. Great Job.

Hisham (Abdou's brother!) and Rashid were also incredible - in Marrakech and Fes. They are so good at what they do - consummate professionals with loads of experience and great delivery. Hasania in Rabat was also a standout.
The accommodations were perfect.
The itinerary was excellent; there's never enough time to do all you want to do, but we had a good mix, and I loved getting to see the spectacular Moroccan countryside. It was stunning.
Overall, I was very pleased with the trip, and would recommend the trip to anyone considering a trip to Morocco.

Hi Amy,

Thanks for taking the time to write a review for our team! We are thrilled that you and Margaret had a great time in Morocco and that you enjoyed your time with Ahmed. Sorry to hear that your visit to Volubilis was cut short because of the rain, though! Guess that means you will just have to come back one day!

We will share your review with Ahmed and I will pass on your complements to our guides: Hasania, Rachid, and (of course) Hicham.

Camel ride in was fun and dunes spectacular at night and sunrise. Tents were nice. Music at night was good but short (20 minutes?). Dinner was fine.

It was a beautiful surrounding and glamping accommodations but the 'experience' was light.

From the accommodations to the tours and unique experiences, everything was unforgettable and allowed us to experience Moroccan culture in a meaningful way.
We shared lunch with the Berbers, hiked the Atlas Mountains, explored the Agafay Desert by camel and quad bike, wandered through the souks of Marrakech, relaxed in a hammam, and enjoyed the most delicious tagine meal prepared in the home of a Moroccan chef.
Our guided tour of Marrakech with Hicham was incredibly informative, and we learned so much about the history of North Africa. Omar, our tour manager, treated us like family. We had an amazing time with him and gained an even deeper appreciation for Moroccan culture. Throughout the trip, we felt safe, well cared for, and truly welcomed—we already miss him.
I cannot recommend this group enough, and we will definitely be using their services again in the future.

Our trip to Morocco was marvelous on all counts--seriously! This was in large part due to the communication with the local travel specialist, Nihad, who planned the trip exactly according to our preferences, and the remarkable warmth, dependability and excellent communication with our driver, Ahmed, who was with us for 12 days. The kimkim site requires an extensive questionaire to be completed, which was very helpful in understanding how/what we wanted from our trip. We wanted to learn about the history, culture, food, and local customs. We wanted to go to multiple large cities and small towns (Rabat, Tangier, Chefchaouen, Fes, and Marrakesh), and also see the Atlas mountains, the Sahara Desert, and local villages. Thanks to kimkim, Nihad, and our fantastic driver, Ahmed, we got to do all of that.

Ahmed was very responsible and kept up with potential weather concerns. As we we were about to go through the mountains, there was a lot of snow. Ahmed rerouted us, and while we forwent a couple of stops (to Ifrane, for one), we still had a breathtaking drive, and several informative stops along the way. We went to an incredible fossil museum where Ahmed had arranged a very informative and eye opening tour with a paleontologist, a local visit to Tinghir, where another local contact of Ahmed, Abdullah, we met a teacher and her family living in a village that was largely abandoned, but where no money changed hands and we learned about the local crops (palm dates, alfalfa, and other plants) that villagers tended collectively. One more crucial detail: Ahmed introduced us to a whole range of Saharan music, Amazigh musicians, and Gnaoua music--these were great soundtracks on our multiple days of long drives throughout the country.

We stayed exclusively in riads along the way. All of the riads were beautiful, some of them intricately renovated. We had great private rooms with excellent hot functioning showers. The hotel staff was, without fail, warm and welcoming--in every riad. Our breakfasts in each riad were excellent. In places where dinner would be hard to obtain, dinner had already arranged as part of the tour--another detail taken care of through kimkim. The one place where our riad was a bit uncomfortable was in Marrakesh (but the hotel staff and food were excellent!), The Riad La Croix Berbere Deluxe was billed as a suite, but it was a room with a connecting bridge that looked into our neighbors' room and their "living area". It was very noisy, because if the neighbors were in their living area and talking, we could see them and hear them. The "suite" was not private, unless you shut yourself in the bedroom, which was so small there was no room for luggage. I would recommend that this riad not be used in the future (again, though, the staff was marvelous).

In conclusion, we had a fantastic trip and will definitely use kimkim in the future. This was our first experience with kimkim and, having used the service once, we feel more comfortable in crafting our next adventure with this company. The cost of this trip was more than worth it--to be relieved of planning, and to be taken care of so well.

Hotel Reviews
Riad La Croix Berbère Luxe
Marrakech

The hotel was located inside the medina, and felt a bit cramped. The hotel staff were amazing and kind, even making us a breakfast package for our very early morning departure from Marrakesh (very useful on a 10 hour Delta flight that provided very little food returning to ATL). They had umbrellas for guest use, very handy given that it rained while we were there. The room we stayed in was designated a "suite". But it was not a suite. It was a very small room (granted, with high ceilings) that left no space for luggage. The "suite part was a bridge from the hotel steps to the room (very tastefully decorated, and gave us space for our luggage), that overlooked our neighbors' room and allowed us to look directly onto the neighbors' "living room"--with their snacks, coats, and even hearing their conversations at full volume because there was no glass or partition shielding them from our view. We were part of their conversation. Ditto for the floor above us. They too had a bridge overlooking the room, and they could hear our conversation/vice versa. this meant that when one of us came in late, the others would be awakened. There was no sense of privacy unless you shut the glass doors of the room (and needless to say, no windows in the room), so a bit suffocating. But again, the staff was lovely. I would not recommend these rooms in that hotel to anyone.

What an amazing experience! The tent is fully functioning: excellent toilet. Shower was hand-held but it did the trick--it was super cold, understandably. At first, we grumbled about how far a walk it was to our tent (given that it was quite empty due to snowed in roads that had prevented 20 guests from reaching). But we soon realized that the views from our tent were absolutely stunning. Sand dunes, no tents obstructing our views. We were very lucky to have such a great tent. The food was very good. The welcoming reception was lovely--tea and some snacks. The reception room was gorgeous and grand. Loved it! The bonfire was lovely. TBH, it felt like a bunch of Moroccan bros drumming for fun--but we didn't mind. They were sweet, kind, and enthusiastic, and very funny!

Dear Mark,

Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a thoughtful and detailed review of your trip to Morocco. It was truly a pleasure helping you plan this journey, and I’m delighted to hear that it was marvelous from start to finish.

I’m especially happy that the itinerary matched your preferences for history, culture, food, and local customs, and that you enjoyed the balance between the larger cities and the smaller towns and villages. Morocco has so many different faces, and it means a lot to know that you were able to experience its diversity.

Ahmed will be thrilled to read your kind words. He takes great pride in his work, and your feedback about his dependability, communication, and care for your safety—especially with the weather in the mountains—means a great deal.

It’s wonderful to hear that you enjoyed staying in riads and felt so welcomed by the staff along the way, and that the meals and arrangements helped everything feel easy and stress-free. I’m very sorry, however, that your suite in Marrakesh at Riad La Croix Berbère Deluxe did not meet your expectations in terms of comfort and privacy. I truly appreciate you sharing these details. Feedback like this is invaluable.

Most of all, I’m grateful that you trusted us with your first trip and that the experience has left you feeling confident about planning your next adventure this way. Knowing that the trip felt more than worth the cost, and that you could fully enjoy Morocco without worrying about the logistics, is exactly the outcome we aim for.

Our city guides Sayed and Hicham were excellent and our driver Mo was top notch and such a trooper despite weather issues that created challenging driving conditions and that added significant travel times to our trip. We did feel like some of the tour stops felt as if they were designed to get us to buy things from specific vendors. It would have been preferable for us to identify items we were interested in and/or to request this service. Read more

Michelle and her team were great. The Kasbah was lovely. I wish we were able to go when there was warmer weather so that we could enjoy the courtyard more.

Morocco

Due to road closures in the middle Atlas mountains, we had to take an alternative route to get to Merzouga which added four hours to our already long drive, so we were late to arrive and had to take a truck into the camp. Our driver Mo was amazing during the bad weather and the additional delays. The staff at the desert camp arranged for us to have the camel ride experience in the morning as we went to see the sunrise and helped us set up a quad bike/atv experience in the dunes, which was a lot of fun. The desert camp itself is beautiful and I would highly recommend.

The drive was pretty and we enjoyed the Gorge but we did not enjoy the walking tour beforehand. The tour guide was really nice but there wasn't much to see and it really felt like we walked through a crumbling town to get to a place to sell us rugs. But also wanted another opportunity to talk about how great our driver Mo was.

Our guide was excellent. We felt a little pressured at the mosaic cooperative, although their process was interesting and the products were cool and they said you didn't have to buy anything, we felt somewhat like we needed to and that we weren't prepared to have a good idea what any of the items should cost.

Dear Robyn,

Thank you so much for sharing your experience and for your kind words about Said, Hicham, and Mo. We’re delighted to hear that your city guides were excellent and that Mo took such great care of you on the road, especially given the challenging weather and driving conditions.

We also really appreciate your honest feedback about the shopping-related stops. We never want our guests to feel pressured to buy or feel that our stops are primarily sales-driven. Your suggestion to have guests indicate what they’re interested in, or request that type of stop in advance, is extremely helpful, and we’ll use this to improve how we communicate and customize our itineraries going forward.

It’s wonderful to hear that you enjoyed staying in the accommodations, riads, and felt so welcome by the staff along the way.

Thank you again for trusting us with your trip, and for helping us improve.

We’d be honored to welcome you back to Morocco for another immersive experience in the future!

Nihad, Mo & the rest of the Morocco Immersion Family.

Hi Marty,

We are happy that "the Hichams" were able to navigate the unusual weather that you all experienced. After having a drought for the last 5 years, we are incredibly happy to see the return of snow and rain to the country, but we are truly sorry that it impacted your trip plans, especially after the difficulties that you had getting there!

We do hope that despite all of that, that you enjoyed your trip and your time with Hicham (and Hicham).

Thanks!
Sharon, Hicham (and Hicham), and the rest of the Morocco Immersion family
