I took a fair amount of time working with Yassine, then Louis, to put together a first visit to Morocco that captured all I wanted to see and appreciated their input in offering ideas, suggestions or modifications to help arrive at what I felt was the trip I wanted to take.

I saw the highlights of Casa Blanca, Rabat, Chefchaouen, Fes, the Sahara, Marrakesh and Essaouira. The guides I was paired with were wonderful - Zahra in Fes, Mohammed in Marrakesh and guides used to explain things like the ceramics and leather in Fes, the rug making process, and about argon. During down time, I wondered around the medinas near my riads and felt totally safe.

I went to Morocco solo and was assigned a driver for my trip, Said, who took good care of me. I could not have asked for a better driver who saw to it that I was where I needed to be on time, spoke fluent English, and enjoyed sharing information and answering questions, along with providing some additional suggestions or ideas for stops along the way. Said helped make my trip, that covered a lot of country and time on the road to see what I wanted to see, a huge success. My trip could have been very different depending on the personality of my driver, since I had so much time with the driver. Said was the best, he definately made the trip what it was, and our time on the road flew by. I'm very thankful to have had him as my driver.

I have used kimkim twice now and been very happy with the results. Kimkim takes time and effort to help create a trip catered to me and my interests.

Kimkim surpassed any of my expectations. They are not only curated a custom program for us, they were open to ideas, and they were flexible. The guides, our driver, the staff were all professional and friendly. It was so evident that their goal was for us to have the best vacation ever. I will only travel with Kimkim in the future thank you thank you thank you, Kimkim.

An Exceptional Journey with KimKim!
Our trip was truly exceptional, thanks to the outstanding service provided by KimKim. From start to finish, everything was thoughtfully planned and flawlessly executed.
A special thank you to our driver, Soufiane, who was incredibly professional, attentive, and knowledgeable. He made us feel safe throughout the journey and enriched our experience with fascinating insights into Morocco’s history. He was always punctual, impeccably dressed, and kept everything organized.
The internal tours were equally impressive, and we particularly enjoyed our time with Mohammad, who added a lot of depth to our understanding of the culture and local traditions.
The Riads we stayed in met—and even exceeded—our expectations in comfort and charm.
This was our first time using KimKim, but it certainly won’t be our last. We will happily use them again and again for future adventures. Thank you to the entire team for making our trip so memorable!

Our driver was exceptional and drove very safe.

Morocco we loved you. From the people, food, music and of course their Moroccan whiskey (tea). It’s been about a month and my husband and I still talk about the experience we had. We have never hired someone to book our accommodations and this was by far the best way to get a real feel for this country. I want to specifically speak on how amazing our driver and now friend Soufiane was with recommendation how knowledgeable he was and passionate about his country when he spoke about Morocco, he spoke about it with so much pride and love that one visiting . Thank you so much!

The trip was well planned and the Riad’s were fabulous. Way better than big international hotels and the people therewere so lovely. Our driver , Soufiane, is an excellent driver and handled the horrible roads and long days admirably.
Zara our guide in Fez, was terrific, we really enjoyed our day with her.
Glamping in the Sahara was a standout part of the trip, but after a 9 hr drive from Fez, we were put onto the camels and sent off without any break or instructions from the camel handlers.
Marrakesh Medina is easy to navigate , even though it’s completely crazy, so would have preferred the guide to be with us for a tour of marrakesh , rather than the Medina. It was a short half day tour, and we had to plan a quick drive around marrakesh ourselves, on the way to the airport, otherwise we wouldn’t have seen any of it outside the Medina.

We loved our driver, Said. He was very personable. He did seem to have a little trouble with time management. (He liked to stop for coffee breaks). But I suppose this is probably coming from me being American and him being Moroccan. I was disappointed to hear that the Casablanca mosque was closed on Friday because of a holiday. I feel that you should have known that it was a holiday and communicated that to us. You could have asked if our dates were flexible. We would have liked the opportunity to adjust our trip One day earlier or later to be able to visit the mosque. Zahra, in Fes, was amazing!! Wish she could’ve been our guide the entire trip. Visiting the artisan shops in Fez was one of the highlights of the trip for me. Our camel ride ended up being about an hour and a half. This was a too long. I think we might have enjoyed a Small ride around the camp and then getting there in a Jeep or ATV better. The trip was very fast paced, but could not be helped in order to see everything that we wanted to see. Wish we could’ve spent a second night in Ourzazate. That Kasbah would’ve been a great place to relax and maybe have a chance to visit the studios. Thank you for your understanding about the airport transfers and taking care of that.

We were never told what time we had to leave the next morning. We were told that breakfast was from 7 to 9 a. We figured we had time to shower and pack after that. We were thinking that we would leave the camp around 10 AM. However,We were rushed out right after breakfast. Staff started asking us at 8:30 AM if we were ready to leave.

Love, the fact that all the rooms were named after movies made in the area and had props from those movies.

it was the only hotel we stayed in that we parked right in front and did not have any difficulties bringing our luggage inside.

Overnight in the Sahara Desert with Sunset Camel Ride

Morocco

Our camel ride was about an hour and a half, not the 45 minutes that was advertised. This was about one hour too long. I was sitting too far forward in the saddle, which is a metal frame, and was not told until about halfway through the trip. Also, we were never told what time we had to leave the camp the next morning. We were rushed out immediately after breakfast. We thought we had time to shower and pack after waking up for sunrise and then having breakfast immediately after. If we had known, we could’ve planned accordingly.

Our driver Said was so thoughtful! He always had a water for us when we got back from excursions and showed us things along each of our treks!

Planning our trip with KimKim was quite easy. Louis was flexible in our requests for changes and provided prompt responses. We requested specific luxury hotels and he was able to provide feedback or suggestions on the hotels we asked or provided better options. We also had to move our trip by a week and that was accommodated well. We did 10 says total which is too short as we went to 6 cities starting and ending in Casablanca and included the Sahara desert overnight tour. Next time we would definitely space it out more.

We opted to have a driver and travel by car the entire trip rather than flying. Our driver Said was incredibly attentive, thoughtful and we thoroughly enjoyed his company. He provided a lot of suggestions and also was a tour guide for us when we didn’t have a hired tour guide for the driving part of our tour. He found and suggested some excellent restaurants during the road trips as well. Said was also available to us 24/7 to take us to places that we had booked separately from KimKim.

Overall we would book again with KimKim and would request Said as the driver.

I don’t remember place we were taken to but it was not traditional as we didn’t get to see any of the baths. We only got the scrub and it was so rushed.
