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.

We wanted a trip where we could see much of the country side of Morocco as well as the cities and medinas. We decided to have a driver for our whole trip who knew the country and the roads. Over ten days, we travelled with Hamza who was a personable young man who knew instinctively what we needed to see. We also took private tours of the Mosque and the Medinas. Highlights for us were dinners in the Medina in Essouira, riding camels in the Agafay, and hiking in the Atlas Mountains. Hamza stopped whenever we had a photo op or whenever we needed a roadside coffee. We travel a lot and this trip will rank right up there as a special one. Thanks to Hamza and to Original Travels and Kim Kim.

Reda, our driver was exceptional. He had a great sense of humor and I especially enjoyed his deep ha ha ha laugh. He was very knowledgeable and qued us in on things to do on our own, ie. Restaurants and events. He went out of his way to help us find wine, which wasn’t easy!!
The hotels were perfect, always in the middle of the action. We really enjoyed our interaction with the local people in their homes and shared meals. Of course the desert was our favorite- a real camel ride and the camp was charming.
I appreciated the coordination between KimKim and the local tour company Original Travel. Said did a great job of coordinating the driver, hotels, guides, etc.
My only recommendation would be to have a larger vehicle. 7 persons in a 8 person van was too tight, considering that we spent hours every other day traveling. We would have paid for a larger vehicle and I failed to inquire as to the size that was provided.
This was my first trip with KimKim and I will definitely use them again.

In particular, Fatima in Fes spent six hours with us and was a wealth of local knowledge. Mo in Marrakech (I’m sure not his real name) was also outstanding). He knew everyone- could have been the mayor. Great tour!!

We worked with Ali of Original Travels to plan our trip. He was knowledgeable, willing to work with our preferences, and accommodated late requests for itinerary changes. We were very happy with our interaction with Ali prior to our landing in Morocco. Once on the ground, we had a wonderful driver Karim from Original Travels who drove us across the country. He was cheerful, and really dedicated to ensuring that we enjoyed our trip and his knowledge of the local history and culture made our days really pleasant . He coordinated with the local guides at all the places we visited. Though he had to leave a couple of days early due to a personal emergency, he made sure we had another great driver, Mayssar, to work with us for the last couple of days. A big thank you to the Original Travels team, especially Ali and Karim, for making our trip worry and stress free.

We enjoyed walking through the medinas and spending time in the beautiful countryside including the desert and the mountains. Morocco is a place of incredible natural beauty, a wonderful mix of the old and new cities and culture, and warm, hospitable people.

His driving skills were impeccable: he navigated us expertly throughout the trip. He was never late, always reliable, always considerate. His calm and cheerful personality — and his selection of Moroccan music— made the trip so much more fun. A huge thank you to him for keeping us safe and happy! Highlights of the trip: hearing the call to prayer throughout the incredible, blue city of Chefchaouen; riding a camel at sunrise in the Sahara; touring the exotic and ancient markets in Fez; lunch and mint tea with the gracious local family in Skoura; and having one of the best massages ever at the Hassam in Marrakech . Favorite hotel by far was the Palais Amani, a beautiful 17th century riad with opulent rooms and excellent customer service. Overall, we were very pleased with our Kimkim experience and would not hesitate to recommend it.

Our driver, Soufian, did a remarkable job in keeping us on schedule and having all our needs met. Those long drives, in 12 Days, became a major highlight of our trip. The memories will be unforgettable. I will be back!

The trip planning process was very easy. I liked the modular aspect which allowed me to be guided but independent, then the back and forth with Ali was smooth to have questions answered and adjustments made. He was very helpful. Three star rating is because there was a big scheduling snafu where somehow my request for 8 days in April 2026 was altered to 9 days in April 2027. I didn't catch that but thankfully Said (or someone) did as the hotel etc bookings were being finalized. In the end it worked out fine but it could have a disaster!

on arriving in Morocco Rachid our driver was very friendly and helpful and knowledgeable. Unfortunately, he had car trouble at beginning of day 2 which he thankfully took in to address before starting our journey but it cost us a 3 hour delay. Said arranged a new driver, Farid, who took us on the rest of the trip and he was fantastic - a great and patient driver, and immensely kind and friendly. 10 stars!

Mixed reviews on the guided tours. Fes is super interesting but the tour stops were clearly all tourist shopping destinations. Pottery/mosiac stop was excellent and very informative. The leather making area information was brief, the adjoining shop had nice products, though I think we got hoodwinked on 2 jackets we bought (they made it like they were going to custom alter them for us, make a show of coming to the hotel at 10pm, saying he had worked all afternoon to make my son's jacket and insisting we try them on in the lobby. The jackets were beautiful but fit exactly the same as what we tried on in the shop; I think they just brought us 'inventory'. Rugs overview was also interesting to see the different local/native styles but felt trapped when they had laid 15+ on the floor. Prices expensive relative to other rug shops we later saw. Scarfs overview ok, prices expensive as well. Would have rather had more organic milling around the souk, and have the guide explain things we were seeing along the way (e.g, interesting foods, etc) but he was on a mission to lead us to each tourist stop. Would also prefer if he asked what type of meal we wanted vs taking us to a touristy, expensive (but delicious) restaurant.

Marrakech guide was our favorite and the ancient school in the medina is a must-see. We also had a lovely lunch at the secret garden. Disappointed he took us to his "friend's shop" bc my son wanted a silver necklace; they claimed it was 725 silver but later at the silver school in Essoira, we learned it wasn't silver at all. Stop at his other friend's spice shop was a big hit, tho.

Amal Center was the highlight - we all enjoyed learning about the school and doing our cooking. The food tour in Marrakech was also good. We ate well!! Guide a little low energy - he'd just come from a week with another group and I think he was tired.

Both Riads - Fez and Marrakech - were gorgeous and also a different style from each other which was nice. Bfast at Marrakech riad was outstanding!

Overnight in the desert was amazing and a terrific break from the cities. However, we didn't care for the entertainment - it was too long and loud and not that great. It seems like all the hotels in the area have a caravan of performers that cycle through each resort throughout the nite. We would have much preferred sitting around a quiet fire and enjoying the stars. (But, even if that was the case at our hotel, you could hear noise and see flashing lights from the surrounding hotels.)

Essoira was lovely, we were tired by then and didn't feel much like touring much and our guide graciously shortened our tour. Again disappointed that he took us to an expensive restaurant (though lovely), walking past the restaurant my daughter had found online and requested. If you want the carved wood and silver, buy them here.

Many criticalities in above for future improvement, but all in all Morocco is a fantastic country to visit and we had a terrific time.

gorgeous setting in the desert for "glamping". Poolside is very chic and the location is a great respite and change from the hustling cities. Rooms are decent, well appointed. Staff friendly and helpful. Moroccan dinner was tasty, breakfast on the other hand was not good at all. Dinner included entertainment which was fair and overly drawn out and loud (noise and lights) for my tastes, especially since it eliminated the opportunity to enjoy the quiet darkness and star-filled skies.

Hi Jill,

Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a detailed review. I really appreciate both the kind feedback and the honest points you raised.

I am very happy to hear that the planning process felt easy and flexible for you and that working with me was smooth and helpful. I am also glad you enjoyed many parts of your trip including the Amal Center, the Marrakech food tour, the riads, the desert experience, and your time in Marrakech overall. It is great to know Morocco left you with strong and positive memories.

I also want to clarify the point about the dates. The dates were originally shared as 2027 on your side, and I simply checked with you to make sure we were aligned. After confirming together, it turned out the correct dates were 2026. I am glad we caught this early and made sure everything was correct before final bookings.

I am sorry as well for the delay at the start of your trip due to the car issue. I am happy to hear that Rachid was kind and helpful and that Farid took good care of you for the rest of the journey. I will share your kind words with them.

Thank you for your honest feedback about the guides in Fes and Essaouira. I understand your points about the focus on shops, the feeling during some stops, and the restaurant choices. This is very helpful and I will speak with the team so we can improve this and make the experience more natural and better paced for future guests.

I am very happy you enjoyed your Marrakech guide and the visit to the old school in the medina. I also appreciate your feedback about the energy level. I understand how that can affect the experience.

Thank you for your thoughts about the desert stay. I understand your wish for a quieter night under the stars. This is very useful feedback and I will take it into account when we plan future stays.

I am also sorry that some of the restaurant choices did not match what your family wanted. We always try to balance good food with local places, but I understand your point and I will work on improving this.

I am really glad you had a great time in Morocco and that you enjoyed your trip overall. That means a lot to us. If you ever come back, I would be very happy to plan something that fits your style even better.

Warm Regards
Ali

The trip was phenomenal. We hit all of the most amazing sites in a short amount of time and had very helpful guides throughout the way. Highlights:
- Food tour in Marrakesh with Lehsson our guide. We thought it would be a bit repetitive after 10 days in Morocco but he took us to eat a lot of local street food which we had not had time to try before.
- Tour in Fez was also very nice with Sherif. He was both informative and very knowledgeable of the Medina being able to help guide us...

- Chefchaeoun is absolutely gorgeous and our guide was also very nice, Abdullah.
- We absolutely loved our stay in Merzouga on the desert and wish we had had more time

We felt that at times the alotted time in the itinerary did not match with the travel time. The roads are very windy and the speed limits are very low so, one constructive feedback would be to consider a lot longer time on the road and maybe earlier pick ups especially between Casablanca > Blue City, Fez > Merzouga and Merzouga > Boulmane Dades
