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.

The trip was interesting. We enjoyed visiting Morocco and seeing the country. However, the extensive and lenghty driving between cities during the trip was not enjoyable. That was likely due to our own fault in not fully understanding the distances. For example, the 9 to 10 hour journey from Fes to Majourga and then into the desert was not good.

The trip was interesting. We enjoyed visiting Morocco and seeing the country. However, the extensive and lenghty driving between cities during the trip was not enjoyable. That was likely due to our own fault in not fully understanding the distances. For example, the 9 to 10 hour journey from Fes to Majourga and then into the desert was not good. Flight options would have been appreciated. Also, the car provided was not good enough. It was too old and uncomfortable. We also should have been aware of what constitutes a Riad. We enjoyed it as an experience but we would have preferred slightly better hotel options.

Nevertheless, the best part of the trip was our driver Samir. He made the trip worthwhile for us: he was humble, respectful and courteous. He was also very good driver and had a great attitude, a wonderful ambassador for your country. We highly recommend Samir and will mention him to our friends who wish to visit Morocco!

Hi Neil, Thank you for taking the time to write such a considered review, and for being honest about what didn't work. That's more useful to us than praise. You're right that the drive from Fes to Merzouga is a long one, and it's on me to make sure that's fully understood before a trip is confirmed rather than discovered on the day. I've taken that point properly. The comments on the vehicle and the accommodation are noted too, and I'm sorry they fell short. And thank you for what you said... Read more

He was more than just a guide, he was a great friend to all of us on our trip. He went above and beyond, faced difficult situations, and made sure we were satisfied each day of our trip.

We ate alone and only briefly saw the woman and child of the house. I think it would have been cooler to get to know the Berber family, learn about their day, life in the village, etc.

To our surprise we then went to multiple food vendors and we were stuffed so did not get to try the snails and missed out on other dishes. Wish they had warned us!

The one major disappointment was Hotel Le Medina Essaouira. In my opinion, it is absolutely not a luxury hotel and did not meet the standard we expected. The experience was so disappointing that I had to pay for another hotel because the accommodations were unacceptable.
Overall, Morocco was a beautiful destination with amazing excursions, wonderful experiences, and great people. I would definitely recommend the trip, but I would strongly suggest choosing a different hotel in Essaouira.

Unfortunately, this was not my favorite hotel experience. The hotel did not feel like a luxury property, and there were several issues that made the stay disappointing. There was loud construction noise outside, which made it difficult to relax. I also had to wait a long time for my room to be ready, and when I finally arrived, the room was still being cleaned. Unfortunately, the room was not fully stocked with the necessary items either. The food was also not very impressive and did not meet my expectations. The room was very stuffy and smelly.

In Marrakech we had Ashraf as our guide & he set a bar so high that our other guides couldn’t reach. Sharif in Fes was also excellent & knows & loves his town so well. Abdul in Chefchaouen was difficult to understand & just wanted to take photos of us but knows his town. Tangier was self guided so those guides were also great 😅.
Planning by Kimkim needs to be tighter & itinerary followed. If there are changes they should be advised to clients asap.
Cave of Hercules is a tourist trap & shouldn’t be included unless requested.
Open air/zero sun protection sites like Volubilis in summer should be visited outside the peak heat of the day.
All in all a tremendous experience that we will remember forever.
Thank you KimKim.
Glenn & Oriana.

Our guide Abdul was very difficult to understand in English. Luckily he speaks some Italian & between that & English we understood about half of what was said. Abdul wanted to grab our phones & take pictures of us everywhere which isn’t what we thought guides are paid to do. Chefchaouen also has a major cat problem, much worse than Fes or even Marrakech. Keep Chefchaouen to a maximum 2hr visit.

Our driver Oussama was great. Meknes was a nice interesting stop. Volubilis was a surprise as we were unaware this had been added to our itinerary. We arrived at Volubilis without sunscreen as we were unaware of the extra stop. Unfortunately we got a little cooked & it made the rest of the day a bit uncomfortable.

Our driver/guide Oussama was great. Sadly, the Cave of Hercules (which we had not asked to visit nor were we informed) was a tourist trap. Standing in line for tickets (which should have been pre-purchased online) we baked in the sun for an hour, without sunscreen or hats as we were caught totally by surprise by the stop.

Hi Oriana & Glenn,

Thank you for taking the time to share such a detailed review. We are very happy to hear that you had a wonderful trip and created memories that will stay with you forever.

It is great to know that Oussama was such an important part of your journey. We truly appreciate your kind words about his punctuality, driving, helpfulness, and friendly attitude. We are glad that he made you feel comfortable and well supported throughout the whole trip. We will make sure to share your feedback with him.

We are also very happy to hear that Ashraf gave you such a great experience in Marrakech. His knowledge and passion clearly made your city tour and evening food walk very special. We are also pleased that you enjoyed your time with Sharif in Fez and that he helped you learn more about the city, its history, and its local traditions. It is lovely to hear that you enjoyed the lunch he recommended as well.

Thank you also for sharing your honest feedback about the parts that could have been better. We are sorry that the visits to Volubilis and the Cave of Hercules came as a surprise and that you were not told about these stops in advance. We understand that this made it difficult to prepare for the heat and sun. Your comments about visiting open-air places earlier or later in the day during summer are very helpful. We will also review your feedback about the Cave of Hercules, the guide in Chefchaouen, and the hotels.

Thank you again for choosing us for your trip to Morocco and for sharing both the good parts and the areas where we can improve. We are very happy that, overall, you had such a memorable experience.

Warm regards,
Ali

What an amazing trip, all made possible by the Kimkim team, starting with Hamza who helped organise the trip. He was very flexible with our choices of itinerary stops and hotel selections. We looked at several other tour companies before deciding on KimKim, due to flexibility , range of options and price point, which gave great value without compromising on quality.

We looked at several other tour companies before deciding on KimKim, due to flexibility , range of options and price point, which gave great value without compromising on quality.
We did a 9 day trip, that started in Casablanca and included Rabat, Fez, the desert, Ouarzazate and Marrakech. Everything went so smoothly.
Our driver, Reda, who was with us for the whole trip, was unbelievably kind, helpful and entertaining. Even after driving all day, he was happy to drive us to dinner when asked. He was the icing on the cake for the trip.
The individual tour guides in each city were very good. The hotels were of high quality, in particular our Riad in Fez (Karawan Riad), Anamar Hotel in Ouarzazate and Les Jardin de la Koutoubia in Marrakesh.
The only critique we have is that the desert camp (Saraha Sky Luxury Camp) didn't quite match it's luxury description. The staff there were very nice but a little young and "green". Our camel ride in was spectacular.
If planning a trip to Morocco, would strongly recommend Kimkim as your tour organiser.

The planning process with Hamza was very smooth. Saïd was very responsive to all of our questions even after we returned home to the US. Overall, a very possible experience.
