Our driver was fantastic. He made sure that we were connected to all of our local tour guides. We did a 12 day trip through Morocco. The planning was good, as we wanted to change some hotels and they accommodated.

The suggestions were all spot on. The local guides were all good. Out Fez guide was excellent.

Highly recommend two nights in the desert, as this allows time to relax and enjoy the scenery.

We were initially unfamiliar with Kimkim, but after reading many positive reviews, we decided to request a plan and quote alongside two other well-known tour operators. From the start, Kimkim stood out.
Our primary contact, Abdel, was remarkably responsive and fast, never keeping us waiting more than 48 hours for an answer. Based on his initial recommendations and our own research, Abdel patiently adjusted our itinerary roughly 15 times until every detail was exactly what we wanted. He was extremely tolerant, flexible, and offered great insights from his experience to help refine our route. Once we finalized the plan, the booking process was seamless and secure.
Upon landing in Morocco, we were met at the airport by our driver, Mustafa, whose contact details had been provided in advance. Mustafa was exceptional—polite, friendly, and eager to make our trip special. Given the long driving distances, good communication was key for us, and Mustafa made it effortless with his strong English and French skills. Beyond his impeccable driving and unwavering commitment to our safety, he shared fascinating stories about the local places, gave thoughtful advice, and helped us discover far more spots than we originally anticipated. Even through long, full days of driving and sight-seeing, he always maintained a warm smile and a helpful attitude. We truly could not have been in better hands.
Because we were on a tight budget, we requested mid-range accommodations. To our delight, every location exceeded our expectations—they were clean, beautifully kept, and served good breakfasts accompanied by wonderful service. A major highlight was our stay in the Merzouga Desert. The desert camp was extraordinary; the tents were incredibly spacious and comfortable, complete with electricity and full private bathrooms, and the evening atmosphere under the stars was magical.
Throughout the entire journey, Kimkim remained completely flexible and accommodated our last-minute requests. The whole trip turned out far better than we could have imagined, creating memories we will cherish forever. We will without a doubt book through Kimkim again and highly recommend them to anyone planning a trip to Morocco!

Riad Atrium & Spa

Marrakesh

This Riad was really nice. The location was interesting, as vehicles can't reach it so we were dropped and then had to walk to it; however a hotel porter came to meet us to carry our bags. The rooms were clean, really large with high ceilings and quite comfortable (tons of pillows and rugs!). Breakfast was included, the service was really good, the server nice and friendly and the food selection excellent. We were there only for two nights but would have loved to stay longer as the place was lovely. Highly recommended.

Authenticity & Character

Really well decorated, the place was charming with a total Moroccan style.

Location

Located in the middle of the Medina, in the heart of all the amenities and safe.

Staff

The staff was friendly and courteous.

Cleanliness & Comfort

The place was quite clean (despite all the rugs and pillows), the bed was comfortable. In general, the place was really nice.

Dar Rihana Dades

Douar Aït Ouffi

We arrived at the Dar ("house") very late at night, and at first, its location seemed quite remote and dark. However, the next morning, with daylight, we discovered just how incredible the setting was! Perched at the top of a canyon, the Dar offers breathtaking views of a beautiful oasis. The room was charming, comfortable, and well equipped, making our stay very pleasant. Breakfast was served in a separate building about 50 metres away, and it was delicious and generous, with plenty to enjoy. Overall, a wonderful place to stay in the Dades Valley, with a truly spectacular location and a peaceful atmosphere. Don’t let a late-night arrival fool you — the views in the morning are absolutely worth it!

Authenticity & Character

Very charming decorated with a Moroccan style. Our room had a balcony facing the canyon; at night it was impressive but during the day it was incredible beautiful.

Location

Not much around, but close to Boulmane Dades city. The Dar ("house") is located at the top of a canyon and had an incredible view of the oasis.

Staff

Very friendly staff, not only for check in/out but also at the restaurant.

Cleanliness & Comfort

The room was spacious and clean; the bed and pillows were comfortable. The bathroom was big with all the required services including argan oil shampoo, body gel, body lotion and hairdryer.

Orient Desert Camp

Merzouga

Our stay at the Merzouga desert camp went far beyond our highest expectations! Nested right among the rolling sand dunes, the camp setup was truly remarkable. The main outdoor common area featured comfortable seating centered around a cozy fire pit, with charming carpeted walkways linking the grounds. Meals were served in a spacious, beautifully equipped tent that felt just like a high-end restaurant. Arranged around the central courtyard were the sleeping tents, which offered incredible comfort. Each tent was fully equipped with modern amenities, including electrical power and a full private bathroom with a hot shower. The floors were lined with lovely carpets, and both the bed and pillows were exceptionally comfortable—ensuring a great night's sleep in the middle of the desert. In the evening, the atmosphere was wonderful. We enjoyed delicious tea and pastries accompanied by traditional live music around the fire, all set beneath an breathtaking, star-filled night sky. It was an incredible experience, and I only wish we could have stayed longer!

Authenticity & Character

Way more than what we expected. The set up with the carpeted walkways in the grounds, the fire pit and cozy chairs and puffs around it; the Moroccan music at night, the coffee and pastries in the evening, all made us feel like we were in movie.

Location

Well located, it made us feel we were really in the middle of the Sahara desert. The place is quiet and you can see the sunset and sunrise as well as many stars at night.

Staff

Everyone was very friendly and helpful.

Cleanliness & Comfort

The tents were very clean, the floor covered with carpets. The bathroom was well set up with a hot shower. In general not what one will expect in a desert!

Riad & Spa Dar Bensouda

Fes

Our stay in Fes was a wonderful and authentic experience! The hotel is tucked right in the middle of the Medina, and getting there is an adventure in itself through a labyrinth of winding, narrow streets. Since no vehicles can access the Medina, we were very grateful for the porter who met us at the main entrance to guide us and carry our luggage. When we first checked in, we were assigned a small room that unfortunately had a damp smell. However, the staff was accommodating when we requested a room change and moved us to a much larger room on the main floor. It was a fascinating space with very high ceilings and a unique layout featuring an upstairs bathroom. The hotel’s amenities were lovely: The Main Courtyard: A stunning central patio featuring a lovely pool—a perfect spot to unwind. Rooftop Terrace: Outfitted with comfortable lounge chairs and tables, creating a super cozy atmosphere to relax and take in the surroundings. On-Site Dining: A convenient second-level restaurant serving delightful food. Overall, it's a beautiful, atmospheric property right in the center of historic Fes, and we thoroughly enjoyed our time there!

Authenticity & Character

Completely Moroccan style; high ceilings, carpets and pillows everywhere and a big central patio with a fountain. The restaurant area was very nice with the beautiful swimming pool and lounge chairs to rest.

Location

Located in the middle of the oldest Medina in Morocco, it was really cool to go through the winding narrow streets.

Staff

The staff was very friendly and helpful. When we requested a change of room, they immediately took care of the problem and helped us to get a new one.

Cleanliness & Comfort

The rooms were clean, the bed and pillows comfortable. we requested a double room with a king size bed and it had also an extra bed. The bathroom though was in a second floor, kind of an interesting set up.

Marrakech to the Dades Valley via Ouarzazate

Morocco

We were initially expecting a very long and exhausting drive from Marrakech to the Dades Valley, but the journey flew by! Our driver made plenty of well-timed stops along the way, allowing us to stretch our legs, grab a bite, and discover so many breathtaking locations along the route. The incredible scenery and thoughtful stops made what could have been a long day feel surprisingly short and thoroughly enjoyable!

Quality of Experience

We were not expecting to have such a wonderful experience during the long trip, there were so many things to see that we didn't even notice the time; the trip felt short!

Guides, Drivers and Staff

Our driver was exceptional—he was a skilled navigator who always prioritized our safety. Additionally, he was extremely knowledgeable about the places we passed through, continuously sharing fascinating stories and insightful information throughout the journey.

Transport

The vehicle was very comfortable and in good condition; with air conditioning. We were four adults and the driver. He brought water bottles for the ride.

Back from a wonderful trip in Morocco with a great group of friends. We were told we would love our driver/guide Mustapha and we did! He was an amazing driver and we always felt comfortable and safe. He is a very caring person and was fun to be with. He often went out of his way to make sure our needs were met. We especially liked our accommodations in Chefchaouen (pool was amazing) and Fes (breakfast was fantastic); and everyone was very accommodating. The camel ride in the Sahara and the hammam experience were new highlights for us. Thanks again to everyone involved in our trip, from Imane and Said in helping the 6 of us plan our itinerary, our driver Mustapha as mentioned and all our local guides who shared the history of Morocco with us.

To begin I would like to thank Faisal for an amazing journey across Morocco. From the time he picked us up in Casablanca he has treated us like family. It has been an amazing 15-day journey across Morocco. The history, the sites, and people that I have met have created everlasting memories. Thanks to KimKims and Original Travel Company and Said for putting this trip together. Much ❤️

A big thank you to Ali and the team for planning such a wonderful family trip! Everything was well organised, and we really appreciated their flexibility and support. With just two days’ notice, they changed our itinerary, city and hotel to accommodate our departure change, at no extra cost. Their thoughtful service made our trip comfortable and stress-free. Highly recommended!

Quality of Experience

Guides, Drivers and Staff

Transport

Our trip to Morocco was 9 days. I found the initial interaction with Hamza to be easy and helpful. However, eventually our trip was turned over to Said and I found getting all of our questions answered before arrival to be extremely difficult. Our driver Reda was excellent and we enjoyed all of our time together. All the hotels recommended by Kim Kim were excellent. Areas for improved communication would be as follows: Morocco as a country requires you to have a lot of small coins and small bills. The county culture is based on tips. When you go to the restroom there is an attendant you should always tip them. We were not aware of this custom and therefore did not have the correct type of currency to tip appropriately. Our driver Reda provided us with the correct coins. Which was greatly appreciated. We would have liked to know this when we exchanged our money so that we could have been prepared to tip correctly. Obtaining small bills was a challenge. Most places do not take credit cards. So you must be prepared to have enough currency to tip everyone and pay for all items in cash. Even when we had cash they could not take the large bills we had been given when we exchanged our currency. We had six additional guides during our trip. Four were arranged by Kim Kim and two were arranged by our driver when we arrived at the site we were touring. We found two of the guides assigned to us not to meet our standards. The rest of the guides were exceptional. We did address this during the trip.
We found the local specialist to always be available via text throughout our trip. I also felt that even with thorough research I still did not really understand our day to day plans. For example our only full day to explore Fes was on Friday with is the day that the majority of the town is not open. This was extremely disappointing. Had we known this we could have easily switched our itinerary. Make sure when you are planning ing your trip that you understand which days most merchants will be closed for religious reasons or holidays. Overall we enjoyed our trip very much and loved exploring the country.

We now have a new genre of music we love! Desert Blues.

Highly recommend KimKim!

The team of Imane & Said were very helpful in choosing and planning the trip. They were great to accommodate our requests for Riads vs hotels etc. Overall they did a fantastic job.

Our driver/guide Mayssar was superb; he is knowledgeable, warm, friendly and very accommodating. We might have started with a driver but left with a friend. The trip would not have been good without him!

The accommodations were very good - we wanted to experience the Riads and they were very comfortable.

The highlight of our trip was the Sahara desert. The camel ride, jeep ride and the food! The owner/manager Hummou of the camp was superb in taking care of us; I would highly recommend this camp after talking to travelers in other camps. The food was excellent.

The Riad in Dades Gorges was good, and the manager was fantastic. The best food on the trip was at this Riad.

The second best part of the trip was the cooking class. It was done very elegantly.

Our guide in Marrakesh Abde Latif was the best guide we had - His English, knowledge and sharing was very good. Overall the guides were good, and informative.

We enjoyed the family dinners. It would have been nice if the guide stayed with us to translate when we met the Berber family as no-one there spoke english. But we still enjoyed visiting with the family. They were warm and wonderful.

Palais Zahia was just what we had expected a Riad to be; Great workmanship.

The La Kasbah d'Ourika also had some superb craftsmanship and was renovated very nicely.

All in all, we thoroughly enjoyed the trip.

Of course one or two things didn't work out as expected; but the KimKim team was immediately responsive and did their best to straighten it out. Thanks.

Where to start? Marrakech: the Diamond Riad was gorgeous, the food from the hotel was great including the breakfasts. In the morning , we had another guest open our room door and entered into our room when we were in it! We addressed with the front staff who denied that she gave the key to someone else, another guest, and had no idea how that could’ve happened. No apologies offered. We were told the night before that our third night was canceled and there was no room for us at the hotel. So we had to pack up and move to another location in the morning. We had plans to return to some places in the Medina but we were unable to. We planned on a food guide our first evening and he was about 45 minutes late. He was too soft spoken and did not offer an expectation for the evening. We felt rushed and had to walk quickly to keep up with him. We recommend not having your food tour on the first night in country if you are able. Our tour guide Goshen for the Medina was very good. We did not feel rushed and were often told to take our time.
Next stop: Riad Dar Imil. The room was very nice but we didn’t have much time in the room as we arrived in the evening. The food was decent.
The hike with Hassan and lunch with a Berber family was a disaster in our opinion. It never occurred. We walked for 30 minutes stopped, had a tea, and spent another 60 minutes walking to and through a village. The meal was in a big room meant for many people where we ate by ourselves and five cats. After our lunch of 30 minutes, our guide napped and returned to our room 60 minutes later. He then guided us for 10 minutes down to our driver. He was not friendly when we asked him about meeting the family. He said they were at a wedding. There were no children to give candy to that we had and he took the whole bag for his family. This was one of the main things that we were looking forward to on this trip and it didn’t happen. We are very disappointed in this aspect. We highly recommend that you do not use Hassan for any guiding! As far as having lunch with a Berber Family, I highly recommend that this is pre-organized before anyone wants to do this.
Dar Rihana Dades was our next hotel. The hotel was beautiful. The food was easily five stars. The chef could be on a cooking show and would probably win. The staff, mainly the main person who ran the restaurant and hotel was phenomenal.
Our guide, Mohammed took us into the monkey fingers trail. He was kind, patient, and knowledgeable. This experience for us was phenomenal.
Onto Merzouga. While our accommodation was a tent in the Sahara, it was meant to be two nights and we only had one night. We also requested for a stargazer experience and that did not happen either. The accommodation was very nice, and the staff was wonderful. The camel ride into the camp was good, but our guide was not good. We recommend you do not use him again. He tried to sell us sand!! At first he said it was a gift to us and then at the camp, he said we owed him 100 dh! The food was terrible at the camp! Cold and flavorless.
The next day, we had a Jeep tour with Abdul. He was a fantastic guide. Patient, very knowledgeable, and friendly. Five stars for him and the tour. We stayed in Riad Villa Amood. The hotel was beautiful, comfortable sleep, and the food was great!
The Fossil museum for us was definitely worth a stop.
The drive to Fez was very long. We wish we would’ve stopped halfway to sleep and relax a little bit. Please change the time on the itinerary to 9 + hours instead of 7.
The accommodation in Fes was 3 stars while we felt the staff member/manager was not very friendly, the dinner we had there was terrible as well as the two breakfasts. The bread was at least two days old. There was no protein or fruit served, and the coffee was average. The guide (Mustfa) in the Medina was a three star. He was knowledgeable, he knew where things were in the Medina, But our heart belief felt like he had done this a 1000 times and he had lost his passion for the job. Our meal in the Medina was awesome- Berrada Family. The places he took us to were geared for sales. We did not like this. The carpet place took over an hour! A discussion needs to happen between the Medina guide and the clients as to what the clients want to see and how long they want to see it for. There were some things that we wanted to see, but we ran out of time because we spent so long in the carpet place. The mosaic and pottery factory tour was good but the high pressure salesman was not ok. The owner even followed us out to our car!
Rabat we could’ve skipped, and Casablanca was enough to have our mosque tour and leave.
Be prepared with enough cash for tipping your guides every day.
Our driver, Samir, was friendly, knowledgeable, and an expert driver. He always provided water for us everyday.
Expectations for the day as far as stops (we could have missed the movie set place as we had to rush to our camel ride), toilet breaks, and lunch breaks should be discussed every morning. There were a few days where we felt hungry and had no place to stop and eat. Expectations between client and the tour guides should also be discussed before the tour. We felt we spent too much time doing things in the Medinas that we didn’t want to do and not enough time seeing and experiencing the things we wanted to see and experience. For example, the Koranic school inside the Fes Medina.
Overall, Morocco is a beautiful country and people with a wonderful variety of things to experience. KimKim was the disappointment with our itinerary being shuffled around. We would recommend to our friends, but giving them these words of advice.

Our driver Ilyace, made the whole trip such a dream! Everything went smoothly and he took the time to take us all kinds of amazing places that weren't on our itinerary, and that only a local would know! Also, KimKim was very easy to work with and everyone on the tram were really great communicators.

Ilyace was fantastic, a great driver and guide.
