A Wonderful 10-Day Journey Through Morocco—with Special Thanks to Hamza! 🇲🇦

Our 10-day trip through Morocco with Original Travels Company was a wonderful experience, filled with beautiful scenery, fascinating history, delicious food, and warm hospitality. The team thoughtfully arranged our accommodations, transportation, sightseeing, and local restaurants, allowing us to relax and enjoy discovering this remarkable country.

A special thank-you goes to our driver, Mr. Hamza, who was exceptional throughout the journey. Professional, friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive, he made us feel comfortable and well cared for every day. His kindness and enthusiasm for sharing his country added so much to our experience. It was a pleasure spending these ten days with him, and we would wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone visiting Morocco.

From the beautiful blue streets of Chefchaouen and the historic medina of Fes to the Atlas Mountains, Aït Benhaddou, and the lively souks of Marrakech, each destination offered something memorable. Casablanca and Rabat added another perspective on Morocco’s rich history and modern life. Along the way, we enjoyed authentic Moroccan meals, refreshing mint tea, and moments of genuine connection with the people we met.

We have a few constructive suggestions that could make future trips even more comfortable. Guests would benefit from advance notice when a riad is located deep within the medina and requires a considerable walk with luggage. Assistance with carrying or transporting bags would be especially welcome. Where possible, outdoor sightseeing could also be scheduled for the cooler morning or late-afternoon hours to avoid the intense midday heat.

At the Roman ruins, our scheduled guide was unavailable when we arrived. The replacement guide was pleasant and welcoming, although he appeared understandably tired after leading several earlier groups. Ensuring the designated guide is ready on arrival would improve this part of the experience.

Overall, we were very happy with our journey and appreciated the care and organization provided by Original Travels Company. We returned home with beautiful memories and a deeper appreciation of Morocco’s culture and hospitality.

Thank you to the entire team—and especially Hamza—for making our first visit to Morocco so special!

Our itinerary was curated with each of our hopes for travel accomplished. Every hotel was beautiful and well located. Transfers worked exactly as described. Each hotel offered breakfasts included and the food was lovely. Restaurant recommendations were reliable and well described. We wanted for nothing! Several occassions we reached out to our local guide for clarification on times and locations and the responses were almost immediate! I would HIGHLY recommend Kim Kim, Giorgia, and the team for future trip design. We visited Paris, Sorrento, Amalfi, Positano, Capri, Polignano a Mare, Alberobella, Ostuni, and more. We enjoyed tours of the Eifel Tower and Paris, and were able to easily meet with local guides. Our flight from Paris to Naples was seamless. Soaked up a local private boat tour to Amalfi and Positano, with a ferry transport for a day in Capri. We picked up a scheduled rental car in Sorrento, driving to Puglia using thoughtful directions. Spent one night and 2 fabulous days in Polignano a Mare - including a boat tour of the local caves. After driving to Ostuni for 3 nights, we visited Alberobello (UNESO site of Trullis), sunned on a local Adriatic Sea beach, savored an private wine and food tasting with a local vineyard and wine maker, and took a orecchiette cooking class. The accommodations were absolutely lovely, with all the amenities we could possible ask for. Locals were warm, kind, and friendly. We came home completely filled with joy about the entire travel experience. Perfecto!

My wife and I went to Scotland and Ireland for our 25th wedding anniversary. We were ready to book with a big tour group but wanted something more intimate and tailored to our interests. Aleksandra with KimKim helped us plan a trip based on our interests, took care of the hotels, in-country travel and tickets, and set up guided walking tours. We just had to show up. Aleksandra was very accessible and responsive at all times, even rearranging some scheduled events for us while we were on our vacation. Prior to booking, we exchanged messages and set up a zoom meeting with Aleksandra to get an idea of what our budget would get us, quality of hotels (we decided to spend a little more to get nicer hotels), and what we might like to do/see. Using the app was great. All tickets and confirmations were stored there. We were impressed with all of the hotels Aleksandra booked for us. She also booked pickup from the airport, inter-hotel, hotel-airport, etc. It was worth every penny and we had a wonderful time. We ended up skipping some of the walking tours because we wanted to explore on our own, on our own time. KimKim was most helpful because it seemed overwhelming to book various hotels in different cities, schedule train rides, and schedule/arrange sight-seeing. We would definitely use again if we explore a different country.

I began working with Kimkim Travel about a year ago to arrange a tour of Egypt, a lifelong dream I could finally realize.

Aya from Sun Pyramids Travel contacted us and worked very hard to help create an itinerary that not only met our desires, but was within budget as well. She is timely with her responses, given the 10 hour time difference, and cheerfully made adjustments as requested. We finally met her on our last evening in Egypt and are so happy to have become friends.

As for the actual trip, Aya's arrangements were nearly perfect. Our transports were always on time or within a few minutes, and our transport agent kept us informed.

We had three tour guides during our stay. Mohamed Allam in Luxor, Samir Gaber in Aswan and Sam in Cairo. All three were excellent, with broad knowledge of Egyptian history, and they took very good care of us, walking at our pace, offering rest stops or refreshments, and answering our questions. They were upbeat an cheerful throughout.

As with any tour of a foreign country, there were a few minor issues that caught us by surprise, but in every case, those were resolved quickly and to our satisfaction.

Our sincere thanks to the entire Sun Pyramids team, and to Kimkim for making the connection. We have had a remarkable experience in Egypt that we will forever remember.

Overall, an excellent experience. Alex was a pleasure to work with in terms of planning the trip and Esmeralda was a fabulous local guide and tour leader. We thoroughly enjoyed the services provided and had a fantastic time in beautiful Guatemala.

Our guide Nikola did an amazing job on our trip. The communication was great and we got an email every night to clarify the next days activities. He was available at any time if we ran into any issues.

We were celebrating our 25th anniversary with a bucket list trip to Greece and Egypt. We opted for a private experience on our Egypt part and it was truly an an amazing experience. We were taken care of really at the moment that we landed to the moment that we had to leave.

It is such a delight to have someone else take care of all the logistical details and really take the care to ensure that we are having a great time which Kim Kim and their operator Memphis tours provided us. Our tour managers Islam Essam and Abdelrahman Mohammed ensured we also knew what was next.

We had some special tour guides who are very knowledgeable and also did a great job curating the experience. Dr Osama sharaf in Cairo and Mahmoud in Luxor gave such a detailed, yet curated explanation of the many pyramids, tombs and temples. It's like we got a degree in Egyptology in a week which we quite enjoyed.

Experience was very safe and we never felt like there was any risk to us which was a credit to both our tour operator and Egypt just being a great place to visit.

Tip: Make sure to look up the weather and your quality and plan accordingly. We did that and we were in great shape.

This trip could not have been better! Tomaz, Zala and their Grand Cuvee Travel team were so great to work with. The communication was timely, and our changes to the itinerary were handled easily. Once we were in Europe the communication on What's App worked splendidly, We even had to roust Zala out on a Sunday when there was a glitch in our tickets to the Schonbrun Palace. She was very available and helpful.

All of the hotels that were booked were excellent and very fun and each one different. The location of the Hotel Golden Star in Prague was terrific, especially in the evening watching the touring people come up and down the street to the Palace above us. The Hotel das Tyrol in Vienna was charming and unique with all of the art in the rooms and the common areas, plus the "old" elevator was fun for travel to the room and back. The Hotel Moments in Budapest was very modern and located on Andrassy St. which is a shopping hub. Our room had a wonderful "skylight" window that filled most of the back wall and had a direct view of St. Stephans Cathedral, which was beautifully lighted at night. All of the breakfasts in each of the hotels were filled with good variety and local flavors. We never went hungry!

The tours that Grand Cuvee booked were all very good. English was spoken clearly and well for us. All of the guides (there were 4 in total; three cities) knew the history so well and took us to the best attractions. We did a lot of walking, but were able to sit and rest as needed. Our Budapest guide, Richard, was so good and listened to our needs and adjusted accordingly. Our guide to the countryside in Prague was very helpful and I think that she enjoyed helping us get out of the city and into the country of her birth. The daily schedule that Grand Cuvee provided was very helpful, especially when we were on our own to get around, such as to the trains and for the Schonbrun Palace in Vienna.

The transfers from the airport and to/from the trains went very smoothly as we had hoped. We were helped with our luggage on the train by the other passengers close by, so that helped as well. The trains were quiet and smooth, sometimes traveling 120-140 mph!

This is the second journey that we have traveled using KimKim as our source. Both times, they have provided excellent local tour planners who have been so very helpful. I have recommended KimKim to a couple of my friends because we have been so pleased with how the whole system has worked for us!
