Original Travels Co

In a world full of travel options, we know how important it is to find something that feels personal and meaningful — not just another trip, but an experience that stays with you.

What makes Original Travels truly special is the heart behind it. Born and raised in the Berber lands of the Atlas Mountains, Abdel, our founder, started this journey with one goal: to share Morocco’s soul with travelers like you. For us, it’s not just about visiting iconic sites; it’s about immersing yourself in the culture, connecting with local communities, and experiencing the traditions that make this country so unique.

When you choose to travel with us, you’re not just exploring Morocco; you’re supporting its people and its future. Abdel’s vision is rooted in sustainability — from working with local artisans and offering eco-friendly stays to creating opportunities for rural communities. Every step of your journey contributes to something bigger, leaving a positive impact for the people and places you encounter.

And because we believe every traveler’s dream is unique, we create experiences tailored to you. Whether it’s a peaceful moment in the Atlas Mountains, the vibrant energy of Marrakech, or the magic of the Sahara under a starlit sky, we’ll help you design a journey that’s as unique and unforgettable as Morocco itself.

Throughout the entire trip, Soufiane was a very attentive, accommodating host, a skilled and safe driver, and a great overall companion for us on the road. Our Moroccan itinerary proved excellent, and the travel pace, personal vehicle, riad hotels, and site tours were all top notch. If you are looking for a VIP experience in Morocco, I highly recommend using Original Travels to organize your trip. Hats off to the entire Original Travels team and the amazing people of Morocco - perfect 5 stars out of 5!

Special shout out to Hamza, our driver- a very careful and awesome driver who became our friend after countless hours of driving through Morocco! There were some disappointments- for example, no tour guide at Rabat and we skipped some sites due to miscommunication, but Said was very responsive and fixed the situation as soon as I contacted him. He made sure we had a guide in every city after that. Overall, the trip was fantastic and we learned a lot about the history, food, and people of Morocco. Thank you, Hamza, Said, and Hamza! =)

We stayed two nights and had dinner at the hotel restaurant both nights- both fantastic- but they only take cash so be prepared!

Made a short stop at Rabat- Our driver dropped us off at the Mausoleum- we just wandered around without knowing what we were looking at, and a local guide started talking to us. He provided some explanation, which was fine, but then he pressured us to pay him 400 Mdhars. Wish we had a proper guide with us and shown us around a bit more- it looked like an interesting city.

No wind, so we had to cancel. They switched us to regular surfing lesson on day 1 - which was ok but not what we signed up for. There was some miscommunication between our trip organizer and the vendor who did not know that we were coming on a windless day , etc. Apparently, the surfing instructor (Salim?) was outstanding but the overall experience was not great. We are still trying get refunded for kitesurfing - we were supposed to kite surf 2 days and it's much more expensive than regular surfing, which we did only 1 day.

I recently enjoyed an unforgettable 10-day journey through Morocco with my daughter, made possible by the exceptional team at KimKim. We had an ambitious itinerary that most agencies dismissed as unrealistic, but KimKim rose to the challenge. While upfront about the long travel days, they delivered a well-paced and exciting plan that included every destination we hoped to visit.
Our trip began in Casablanca and took us through Rabat, the charming Blue City of Chefchaouen, and the historic heart of Fez, where we explored the medina and took part in a memorable cooking class. From there, we ventured into the Sahara for a magical desert experience—complete with a sunset camel ride, ATV adventure, and an unforgettable night under the stars at Merzouga Luxury Desert Camp. Our desert guide, Ali, was both knowledgeable and fun, making the experience even more special.
Next, we relaxed at the beautiful Ksar El Kabbaba in Skoura, where the hotel’s spa offered a perfect retreat. We ended our journey in Marrakesh, where a local guide enriched our exploration of the medina, hammams, and souks.
Visits to carpet vendors, tanneries, and ceramic workshops gave us a deeper appreciation for Moroccan craftsmanship and a few beautiful souvenirs.
Throughout it all, our driver Tayeb was outstanding—safe, insightful, and always helpful. His excellent English and thoughtful guidance elevated every leg of our journey. He consistently went above and beyond to ensure we were comfortable, informed, and enjoying ourselves. We feel that we must return to Morocco just to visit with Tayeb!
This trip not only revealed the beauty and culture of Morocco but also gave me treasured time with my daughter. Every detail was expertly managed, allowing us to truly be present. KimKim’s communication was also excellent—they responded quickly and thoroughly to every question and request. I highly recommend them for a personalized, immersive travel experience.

One of my favorite guides was Sharib in Fez though all of the guides provided were great including ones provided at sites like the tannery & mosaic factory. They were not overly zealous in asking us to buy goods.
Cities visited; Rabat, where we stayed at the Sofitel. The hotel was beautiful with large beautifully appointed rooms & grounds. Service was excellent. We enjoyed the city.
Tangier started off poorly when there was no reservation for our stay. DO NOT PUT PEOPLE AT THE HILTON THERE FRONT DESK STAFF ARE SLOW & NOT HELPFUL ALMOST RUDE. The problem was eventually sorted out by your local representative. Compared to our other hotels & Ryads it was not even close in comparison. We did enjoy the city & the Hercules Caves. Chefchaoen is a beautiful city & lives up to its reputation, as the Blue Pearl. Lina Ryad & Spa was excellent in every way. Our final destination was Fes where we stayed at the Riad Fes & Chareaux. The Riad could not do enough for us during our stay, they anticipated our every need, remembered our names & provided excellent service. Highly recommend. Our tour of the Medina with our guide Sharib was great. Stops at the pottery & mosaic factory and the leather factory provided excellent souvenirs with minimal pressure to buy.
I would definitely recommend a visit to Morocco 🇲🇦 & these cities.

There was some variability with the local guides: the guide in Volubilis and Fez were good, but the one in Chefchaouen had limited knowledge of the local history. (We may have come in with high expectations as we were coming from Spain where we had guides who had graduate degrees in history or art history). We enjoyed staying at the Riads, with the exception of the riad in Fez. The Riad in Fez was beautiful but lacked in creature comforts: the beds were super firm, the towels in the bathrooms were worn out and the bread served at breakfast was stale. These details were surprising for a riad that is supposed to be 5-star! (We also strongly suspect we may have gotten food poisoning at this riad...). It would also have been helpful to have a better understanding of how much local crafts cost, it was unclear how we were supposed to attain that information. Nevertheless, we had an amazing trip to Morocco! Thank you!

The guide gave a very broad overview of the mosque with limited information. The least informative guided tour we had during our entire trip. However, the mosque was worth visiting.

This was really fun. We were essentially immersed into a mosaic/pottery co-op. The pieces they were selling seemed on the expensive side (we paid $250 USD for a tagine). But we figured we would be supporting the artisans.

Dear Agnes,

Thank you so much for your detailed and thoughtful feedback, I truly appreciate you taking the time to share your experience.

I'm absolutely glad to hear that you had a wonderful time exploring Morocco and that the itinerary, driver-guide, and many of the Riads lived up to your expectations. It was truly a pleasure working with you, and I’m especially honored by your kind words, being called the best travel agent you've worked with means a great deal to me!

That said, I want to sincerely apologize for the areas where the experience fell short. I completely understand your disappointment with the Riad in Fez. While it is indeed a beautiful and well-rated property, your feedback regarding the comfort of the beds, the quality of the towels and toiletries, and the breakfast experience is concerning and duly noted. I’ll be following up directly with the management of the Riad to ensure these issues are addressed and to reassess whether it remains a good fit for future travelers. I’m also very sorry to hear about the possibility of food-related illness and truly hope you recovered quickly.

Regarding the local guide in Chefchaouen, I appreciate your honest observation. Expectations matter greatly, and I understand how a less knowledgeable guide can affect the overall impression of a place. I’ll take this into account as I continue refining our network of guides to ensure more consistency in quality and depth.

Lastly, your point about pricing guidance for local crafts is a very helpful suggestion. I will work on including clearer guidance or a short orientation to help future travelers better navigate shopping experiences with confidence.

I'm truly glad to hear that the trip was overall a great experience for you. Your feedback will help me continue improving our services and ensuring that each trip is as seamless and enriching as possible.

Thank you again for your trust, and I hope to welcome you back to Morocco one day!

Warmest regards,
Ali

Our trip to Morocco was even more than I could have imagined. The food was fantastic, the landscapes, the smaller and larger towns, the mountains, Roman ruins and, of course, the camel ride and camping in the desert - all of which far exceeded our expectations. What made our trip so special though was not just these places...it was our driver, Tayeb. He expertly navigated mountain roads, through villages to the desert and back and, throughout our journey found the perfect stops for coffee and great lunch stops. He also made terrific dinner recommendations and always made sure we knew about the towns we were staying in. Above and beyond that, Tayeb was great company and made even the longest of our drives between cities go very quickly with his easy-to-get-along-with personality. If you have a driver as great as Tayeb, you'll have an amazing time exploring Morocco! I should also add that we had guides in both Fes and Marrakech...which are essential. The complex alleys and small roads makes it impossible for a visitor to navigate without expert guidance. Sharif was our guide in Fes and he was extremely knowledgeable about how to navigate the streets of Fes' marketplace. Mohammed was our guide in Marrakech and he, too, was an expert navigator and guide. Also, Said from Original Travel was extremely responsive throughout our journeys in Morocco...and we would not have had our amazing driver Tayeb or our amazing guides without him.

This Riad is in a very small town that we probably would not have stopped at on our own if we had designed every element of our itinerary by ourselves. I'm so glad our travel agent included this stop. The Riad looks unassuming on the outside (as most do) but there was a lovely pool, gardens to walk through in the back and the food was truly gourmet. It's decorated in a more modern way, and it was, overall, a lovely place to spend a night in between long travels between 2 larger cities.

From the moment we decided to book a tour of Morocco with KimKim, we were met with excellent customer care. The KimKim team, especially Said, was quick to respond and patiently answered our many questions and requests for customization. The website was great to use and served us well throughout the planning and during the trip.
Even before we embarked on our journey from Denver to Casablanca, Oussama, our driver/guide, was in contact with us and as soon as we touched down he efficiently navigated us towards him and the very comfortable van we would call ours for the next ten days. There was no doubt that we were in the best hands possible. Aside from being a kind and patient human, Oussama organically shared his love and knowledge of his beautiful country with us throughout the trip. He patiently accommodated our schedules and needs and answered a million questions. We added several excursions and each was superb. He matched us with Mohammed for a most insightful and delicious city and food tour in Marrakech; the next morning, we dove into a Hammam experience that my daughter called the absolute best thing that has ever happened to her, while my husband played golf at the oldest golf club in Morocco. We left Marrakech after three nights, following the lush green river valley to the striking peaks of the Atlas mountains to Imlil for one nicht. Again we were met by a knowledgeable guide who exposed us to the culture of his people and kindly opened up his house for a traditional lunch before continuing our hike to a waterfall through narrow, steep paths with amazing views. After a comfortable night at what seemed like our own private hotel (with pool), we left the peaks for the desert for two nights. Who thought we would be greeted with such comfort - the clamping in Agafay, as everything, exceeded our expectations. So did the ATV tour and Camel ride (with a baby camel in tow), followed by surfing and another Hammam in Essaouira… too many highlights to list. Every accomodation was great (with the Riad Le Pelerin in Marrakech being the most beautiful and special place we have ever stayed at), every restaurant recommendation, every place to stop to take in the sights - even when pressed, I could not come up with a ‘complaint’. This trip was the most memorable vacation we have ever taken with our family and the sounds, sights and tastes will be with us forever. We are already thinking about where we can go next and KimKim is on top of our list to guide us on our next adventure. Highly, highly recommend the company and their fantastic local partners. Again, big shout-out to Said and Oussama for a trip of a lifetime to North Africa.
