Karim was a fantastic guide! We went as a group of five and he welcomed us with open arms from start to finish. We loved all of the experiences, especially being in the Sahara. Would recommend to everyone!

The trip to Marrakesh was amazing. The walking tour guide Mohamed was brilliant.
Our driver Soufiyan who took us around is a good driver.
Our hike in the Atlas mountain with Latifa was very enjoyable.
She helped me a lot over the rough patches and climbs and really took good care of us.

Hotel stays at Marrakech and Essaouira was perfect.
The desert camp was good but felt a bit rough around the edges as I believe it was a newer property.

Said provided detailed planning and coordination and was always accessible and timely in responding to our questions.

Tayeb was superb as our driver and main guide throughout our 12 paradisiacal days in Morocco. He was very knowledgeable on history and other interesting Moroccan matters in all villages/cities and natural wonders he took us to visit. Tayeb is reliable, prompt, experienced and highly skilled. Specially, he is friendly and joyful and very attentive. We will recommend Tayeb as driver to our friends who book via Original Travels in the future.

Thanks to all three local expert guides in Merzouga Tiziri Camp (Said), in Fes (Mohammed H.) and in Marrakech (Mohammed O.). We learned so much from them! Mohammed O took us through an excellent food tour of Marrakech and his in depth history of the city is impressive.

Our trip to Morocco was fantastic thanks to Kim Kim! We had 3 kids ages 3-11 and were nervous about traveling with them but the whole experience was smooth, comfortable, exciting and fun! We loved Fez, Marrakesh and especially Essouria. Our driver Mustafa was so skilled, gracious and thoughtful. He did things like making sure that all of our rest stops during long drives playgrounds! The fantastic local guides were knowledgeable, flexible and made sure we spent our money in places that would be high quality and truly support the local people - for example we visited worker cooperatives to learn about everything from ceramics to aragan oil. They are so kind to children generally as a society in Morocco. It was beautiful to experience and made the trip that much easier and more welcoming. Kim Kim and the guides were also good about making some adjustments to the trip as we went along and adjusted to the reality of travel. For example we had over planned and not factored in a day of two for kids to just hang out and play at the pool!

Family pottery and mosaic workshop

This was a fun way to learn about ceramics. I thought there was going to be more pottery making by us/kids based on the description but it was really more of a quick fun few minutes for each of the kids. We loved it though. Great unique opportunity to see experienced artisans and work and understand how it all comes together.

This was such a unique experience and great for the whole family.

We spent 11 fantastic days exploring the sights, tastes and sounds of Morocco. Our driver, Tayeb, was super informative and a pleasure to speak with throughout our journey. He was a safe and experienced driver which was very reassuring. Our stays were in Rabat, Chefchauen, Fez, the Sahara, Ait Benhaddou and Marrakech. We enjoyed the variety of landscapes along the way, the hustle of the medinas, and the quiet dunes of the Sahara. Dune buggy and camel riding in the desert were memorable highlights. The Medina and food tasting tour with Abdul in Fez really helped us appreciate the history and culture of the people living and working in the Medina.

Said and the KimKim team assembled an absolutely amazing vacation!!! everyone he had pick me up, drive me or guide me was professional, knowledgeable, and extremely friendly. When we had bad weather Said was on top of it and made recommendations & they were perfect. He did all the work while I was able to enjoy the trip. He laid everything out for me & was in constant contact throughout the trip, making sure everything was running smoothly. If I ever had a question or wanted to change an itinerary, he accommodated. I’m very pleased with the service and will definitely use Said and KimKim again.

Anas was my driver for a lot of my trip and he was so nice. We really got to know one another & I highly recommend using him. He was so very friendly and accommodating. Also had an amazing guide in High Atlas Mountains (Mustapho Oubraim). We encountered a large snow storm that required an itinerary change, and he made an unforgettable experience happen.

Thanks so much for a fantastic adventure…Bryan

We had a fantastic vacation in Morocco, thanks in large part to KimKim! Our family thought this was one of our favorite trips. We like to plan a lot of a vacation ourselves and appreciated that KimKim let us book our own hotels and some tours, while arranging transportation and other tours themselves. The tours KimKim arranged were some of our favorites- the guides were very hands-on, informative, and flexible as needed with our family (we traveled with two kids, ages 1.5 & 6). Our driver, Yassine, was the highlight of our trip! He was with us for the whole week and was so kind and helpful. We were able to contact our local guide at any point during the trip, which was reassuring. We even changed something the night before (traveling to Casablanca earlier than planned) and they were able to accommodate. I cannot recommend enough!
